If Francis had been healthy for the playoffs, that would have helped a lot. With Rafer out for 2.5 games, all we had was brick-fest Jackson and rookie Aaron Brooks...
Now all we need is Mutombo to come back. I love me some finger wag.
I love me some Mutombo. The Rockets should only sign him if they get a good deal. And, Aaron Brooks really should have retired after he got cut by the Saints.
