    Clutch can you upload Chase's dunk at the very beginning of the game?

    Scola's offense will be needed once Martin and Lowry come back down to earth.

    But I agree, send Luis to the East this offseason for some size or picks and let Pattycake get to work on becoming the West's newest dominant 4.

    I hit the rewind probably 5 times after seeing it the first time. It's early but with every minute played, his game improves more and more. I'm very excited about Patrick's future with the Rockets.

    I agree, I think the biggest difference is between the ears. I will say, I actually liked them on the court together in the 4th. I think Patterson can be a tremendous help to Hill's growth, not that I necessarily expect it.

    Hill's stats won't look pretty after this game, but he was very active and played some solid D in the 4th.

    Like aaron brooks, but i prefer scola being traded for picks and a legit center.

    Are some of you guys plain stupid? Nobody wants to trade Scola. What we are saying is that there is a huge void at the center position, unless you think Thabeet is the answer, and if trading one of our most marketable players nets you that coveted center, then you do it.

    Sigh....

    Thanks Clutch, is it possible if IMF have a HD video of Kyle Lowry First Trible-Double Highlights

    If only Scola can dunk like that

    One thing to keep in mind is that Pat Pat is fresh given that he hasn't logged a lot of minutes this season.

    Pat "the Mack Truck" Patterson!!!!!

    When you think about it, the fact that he fell to 14 is just more and more mind-boggingly stupid.

    He has decent size. He has good athleticism. He has very good range. And he is a very hard worker, and with incredible b-ball IQ.

    And everyone passed on him because he spent 3 years in college since he actually wanted an education. Morons.

    Morey was interviewed about Patterson being a 3yr guy. Morey basically said that Patterson would've gone higher as a freshman(like top 5-10). Then as he improved in college over the past two years, his stock actually dropped. While I know the whole "moneyball" thing gets way too overplayed with Morey's moves, this looks like a true example of a moneyball move.

    You're right that it's mind-boggling. Because scouts drool over raw players who may or may not improve in the NBA. But they disregard players who actually did improve, and show that he can improve his game over the course of a college career. That in of itself is counter-intuitive.

    I like that Patterson block and then Lowry hitting a 3 at the other end. That's how I want to envision this team's future to be.

    I think this is the funniest stupidity. They label players who are already very good as "low ceiling" and those who can't play but with a good body as "high ceiling" as if saying "if you are already good, we don't expect you to get any better." That's one of the dumbest notions I've heard.
