Games not over yet, Lakers trail by 6 with about 2 minutes to play at the moment...
I\'ve noticed how each year in the playoffs as the Lakers come across teams there is a player I will hate due to many factors. Its not because they are primarily the biggest threat to the Lakers, it is mainly because in general they are a punk.
Houston = Steve Francis.
Cried about getting drafted by the Grizz, has been fined for not being able to control his tongue in half-time interviews, and I believe he ranked amongst the top in technical fouls this year.
Now he blatantly grabs on to Fisher\'s hand, and Fisher tries to break it free, and hits Yao Ming in the face, and then Francis wants to start something.
Finally, the guy is constantly \'arm-barring\' everytime he drives to the hoop, drives me crazy.
Ok back to the game.
Thanks for listening.
And the Lakers drop game 3. Karma really sucks, seconds after I trash Francis he turns into Superman and starts throwin balls from under his legs and they\'re falling. Rockets were just hot and coming off a \'home-game-high\'. Shaq needs to start making free throws.
Lakers to take the next 2.
And finally, I don\'t know why Phil Jackson sat Gary Payton the entire fourth quarter. That is pure bullcrap, and Payton has every right to complain about it. He is a playmaker, a great defender, and he has to be out there in the closing minutes at least.
