PLEASE -- the day a PJ-led team does a freaking midseason trade...

This team is already lacking in intelligent play on BOTH ends of the floor. How the <bleep> is adding FRANCIS going to help that?

Let's do a trade involving Odom and Francis, that doesn't result in Francis coming here;

Lakers trade Odom and George- and get Paul Pierce and Dan Dickau

Boston trades Paul P. and Dan D.- and get Lamar Odom and Earl Watson

Dever trades Earl Watson and Kenyon Martin and get Steve Francis and Keyon Dooling

Orlando
trades Steve Francis and Keyon Dooling and get Kenyon Martin and Deveon George.

Everyone's happy and moving in a different direction...upwards in the standing.

Yup, and, ironically Fisher was driving him nutts...

But wait!

How about a round of applause for this line?!!

A local L.A. comedian once said that Hedo Turkolu looks mildly stunted. I think he even went as far as to say the he looked like something someone had ate and dropped.

Turkey glue sucks (and by sucks I mean I just don't want him on the team).

Good Lord, this is revisionist history at its finest.

Game 1 - 18 points/5 assists/9 rebounds

Game 2 - 18/12/10

Game 3 - 27/7/9
Notes: "Francis made a reverse layup as he was fouled with 67 seconds to go. He missed the ensuing free throw but sealed the win when he banked in a layup with his back to the basket as he was fouled by O'Neal with 40 seconds remaining."

Game 4 - 17/9/5
Notes: "The Rockets rallied from a 14-point second-half deficit and tied the game at 81-81 on a jumper by Steve Francis from the top of the key with 39 seconds left in regulation."

Game 5 - 16/5/9

Derek Fisher wasn't locking anybody up out there. He was driving Francis nuts in the same way that he drove Bibby nuts in the 2002 playoffs. :roll:

Excuse me I hate to rain on a haters parade but, Hall-0-Famer Gary Payton started those games and had the biggest minutes. It was Fish who slowed Stevies (bleep) up in every contest so, party over boys and I have the Houston and Spurs series on disc so, nope if not for Fish Francis would have had bigger nights than that. Let me remind you haters of something. Fish was healthy in that series so, go back and, check the stats and get back to me! I love it!
