    shooting around 0.52 FG one horrible game @ Toronto- 0.25 FG

    Scola is fine, I've never been worried about him. He struggled a little early but he's still a good player. His numbers are right in line, rebs are down because of Dalembert but thats it.


    Martin has been a complete disaster.

    If you ever suspect Luis of not giving 100% you need to go straight into Psychiatric Care.


    The man embodies everything associated with the work Hustle.

    What a game by Scola even though it is not his role to score 30, he still did it today.


    Scola haters are pathetic, he is a great all around basketball player but not a superstar.

    Can you believe he only went to the line once? 15-25 FG 0-1 FT

    I'm not sure "all around" is the word I'd use given his inability to play strong defense.

    That is not his forte.... but actually he can hold a post player... he did it against Griffin... he is not fast....

    but compared to Kevin the fairy, Budinger, Flynn and JHill with the knee or bad leg he is ok.

    I wouldn't mind keeping Scola...but I'd much rather see the team just trade away their vets (Scola and Martin) and just move on.

    I hope Scola retires as a Rocket. You will be forced to root for him.

    i respect Scola, he kept the franchise rolling, but i think its time to part ways. I applaud his effort over the past few weeks, he seems to understand how the NBA works. he, unlike K-Mart, knows and understands the definition of trade value.

    The one thing about the Laker trade i hate. It's impossible for me to root against a pro like Scola, but it would be the Lakers.

    He's the polar opposite of an overpaid softie like Kevin Martin, he would play hard regardless of team, opponent, or situation.

    If you implant his will, his toughness, grit and hustle into Gasol's body.... that would a formidable monster

    1) the Cavs have atrocious defensive bigs w sideshow bob out
    2) the guy is less than a year removed from knee surgery

    Scola is the man, but business is business

    They would have to change the rules, it would be impossible to score on him.
