What's the story? Here's a Top 10 for the coming season

I know Chuck Hayes is undersized and has little offensive game but I think the guy deserves a lot more respect than he gets in the mainstream (meaning they don't actually watch Rocket games) media and even on this message board.

We didn't lose games last year, regular season or playoffs, because of Chuck. We lost them because our bench consisted of spot up shooters and geezers.

Scola is a nice pick up, no doubt but it isn't like we were getting killed by players Chuck was guarding last season. Hayes is a good player and even more valuable now that we have added scorers so that he isn't obligated to put up offensive numbers.

 

*APPLAUDS*

From what I've seen, I think Scola would fit great in that starting unit. In terms of coming up with a balanced rotation, though, it might make more sense to bring him in as Yao's backup C, and rotate him to PF when Chuck sits and Yao reenters the game. At least it will keep him from getting into early foul trouble against the opposing team's starters. And besides, if Manu can come off the bench for the Spurs, I don't see why it should be set in stone that Scola must start.

Whatever decision the coach makes on that, I'll be content with. I have a feeling it will be Scola.

 

Agreed.

 

Manu is Manu, and Scola is Scola. I cannot see why Scola should come off bench on the basis of that Manu can come off bench.

Coach A is a great coach and he has his own style. I cannot see why he needs to copy Pop's work.

 

Hispan...

 

He doesn't need to, and I never said Scola should come off the bench.

 

Rockets need not to copy Spurs either!

 

You just quoted and repeated yourself. Get some rest.

 

Why did you reply? I never said you said it.

 

I cannot see why I cannot quote myself!

 

I am   SO       S I CK       O F     H E A R I N G       T H I S !!!!!!

Oh my God....I want us to get past the first round just so the media will STFU about this.

(along with "Tracy McGrady's never led a team past the first round" and "With McGrady's bad back blah blah blah...")

 

Now Yao's turn...
"Yao is too soft"
"Yao isn't vocal enough"
AND my personal favorite...
..."Yao will never be as dominant as Shaq"

 

Don't forget about..

"Tmac isn't a leader"
"Rafer can't lead a team"








actually i just made that last one up

 

I know that Chuck is undersized but he isn't underskilled,this proves they actually don't watch more Rockets games which I hope they will in next season.

 

there are some media that even calls adelmen a bad coach, since he just went to the finals but never one.

 

Oh wow, I haven't seen this before, but not surprised. Are you sure it wasn't just Kenny Smith?

Why is the media always so content on being the "bad guy" all the time??

 

If Scola comes off the bench, it will be because 1.last years starters have played together for a year & are doing well with the new system 2.Scola needs more time to adjust to the NBA and 3.Adelman thinks it's best for the team. I personally think he will come off the bench to start the season. Come playoff time, the starters will be determined by matchups.

 

What makes Chuck so great is that he said himself that he could care less if he starts or not. He is the type of player who will play 5 minutes, or 40 minutes if needed. And he is going to hustle on every second of those given minutes.

I really dont care which one starts. I care who finishes. I fully expect Hayes to start until Scola adjusts more and gets more accustomed to the NBA rules.

 

Exactly. Most of them are ignorant and only assume its all one player's fault when they know nothing about him or the team
