    See title.

    I don't think anyone is particularly surprised as Francis has jumped ahead of James in the rotation. Will Adelman regret sending down Brooks?

    Let's see how good we are with Rafer.... Can Francis / James run the offense and get good efficient shots?

    Did Rafer really get injured? As many phantom injuries as we had last year, I'll be asking myself that today. He never gets injured... I didn't see him get hurt in Jersey, so he must have hurt himself in a practice.

    BTW, I don't want Rafer actually injured, but I think the only way to know if his value to this team is real or not is to have him out (benched, suspended or injured) more than one game.

    I hate to have joy in someone's injury, but in Rafer's case -

    HALLELUJAH!!!!!

    Maybe it is an excuse to give Francis a look at the starting unit. Whatever it is, Francis has alot of pressure today and we'll able to see his performance with major minutes.

    Fly High Stevie!

    Go Go Rockets!!!

    This will be interesting, particularly if Rafer misses extended time. It will give us a better picture of just what positives/negatives he brings to the team.
