That was a stupid move by Francis, but I saw it as more of a pride move for his boy (Yao) gettin dunked on. Altho that was the wrong way to show it, it was just a move of frustration and disappointment.
I'm really surprised at Francis' actions, since he's usually very professional on the court. He is quite lucky that Stoudemire didn't go back at him: Steve might be tough, but Stoudemire is a beast. I see a hefty fine coming Steve's way.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Trip:</div><div class="quote_post">And the Suns would be without their power forward for one week. Mark Jackson could make up for the loss of Francis in the starting lineup.</div> I doubt Phoenix would take as big of a hit as Houston would have, it's not as if PHX is in playoff contention or something. Anyhow Steve Francis is lucky Amare Stoudemire didn't just crush him, thankfully Amare was the bigger of the two men and he blew it off although being visibly heated. Fact is Amare did nothing wrong, if screaming and showing emotion after making a SICK dunk is a crime, than I guess every player in the entire league would be suspended. Of course with the exception of Tim Duncan . There was simply no need for what Francis did, clearly he was just fustrated that Phoenix was coming back and he didn't think with his head. If anyone should be throwing forearms in Houston, it should be Yao Ming nailing Francis in the head and telling him he wants the ball more often
^ Francis is lucky for the 24th time posted on this thread. Cause Amare from the streets. He's hard and he don't take no ish. I was kinda surprised that he didn't do anything cause I was like oh,oh, oh oh like Lumidee. Amare is straight up from the hood and had a hard life so you know. Anyways Steve still dribbles to much. Get the ball in the post Steve. D@!$!!
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting I3:</div><div class="quote_post">Although, that move by Francis was pretty dumb. It was pretty gangsta IMO . </div> Glad to see gangsta's resort to cheap shots. Very nice..... You're saying stuff so I'm going to sucker punch you. Makes sense. :thumbsdow
