    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><u>Steve Francis</u> did not expect much, but sounded shocked that he might begin the season receiving little or no playing time at all.

    With the Rockets&rsquo; rotation taking shape and apparently excluding him, Francis said he did not know what he would do, but that he might have to do &ldquo;something.&rdquo;

    &ldquo;That is going to be tough, that will be real tough for me,&rdquo; Francis said. &ldquo;If that&rsquo;s the case, then I don&rsquo;t know. I definitely didn&rsquo;t come here not to play at all. Hopefully we can work something out.&rdquo;

    Asked what sorts of options he might have, Francis said, &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know. I can&rsquo;t say.&rdquo;</div></p>

    Yep, it's been looking like this would happen for a few weeks now. Not sure why Francis should be so shocked. He hasn't played well in training camp, and Adelman isn't going to play 4 small guards in his rotation. He just needs to be professional, play hard in practice, and earn his way back into the rotation.</p>

    Here's video of Francis and Adelman discussing the situation in practice:</p>

    I'd kill myself if Steve Francis ever wore a Celtics uniform. He's the last thing we need.</p>

    He never adjusted.</p>

    His whole game was based on athlecism. Its pretty sad but if you think about it he is still the same player he was when he came into the league.</p>
