Didn't catch the game but can't believe how much #wordapp has generated response in his 4 mins of play. Malick Baiden is back.
Scola is one tough guy and take absolute pride in giving his all, but he's not stupid and knows that if he needs sit tomorrow for his own health he will. With that said, he will probably play 25 minutes and score 15 before sitting tomorrow.
Very Misleading stats. Battier was very non-aggresive on offensive and spent a lot of time watching teammates. Yes has a good f/g% but he was only averaging 7 shots a game and over half of those were corner 3s. He averaged less than 2 free throws a game and rarely took the ball hard to the rack. By comparison Chase is taking almost 12 shots a game and most of those are going hard to the basket. He shoots between 3 and 4 free throws a game and his f/g% is over 50%. Add to the fact that Chase has been playing very solid defense in most games since starting and I think it's obviouse that Chase's play so far is a huge reason for Houston's post trade succuess. Chase is averaging almost 17 pts a game to Shanes 8 pts a game and add that to the fact that when Chase goes out Courtney Lee comes in who also has much better offense than Shane. Removing Shane from the offense is huge IMO.
gotta keep winning. its weird to see on hollingers playoff odds that as of today we are the least likely to make the playoffs of hou, por, noh, phx, but gives us better odds to make the finals and win it all. I really want to see what this team can do in the playoffs.
