How come Ron Artest didn't get a tribute video when he returned to Houston?

    All I want to say is that Otis Thorpe deserves to have his number retired by the Rockets. Artest started as a Rocket for 55 games. That's nice he shaved an R into his head for a few days, but Thorpe started as a Rocket for 514 games and also got snubbed on the all 90s Rockets team too. It was very nice for the Rockets organization to pay tribute to Scola, but they should do something for OT too.

    i don't like luis scola because i hated the way he played. i hate floppers so that's also why i didn't like kyle lowry or kevin martin. i hate it when players play for the foul and not to legitimately put up a shot and expect to make it without being gifted free throws.

    Harden does it too. You can't hate scola man, not possible you probably just think you do. Its kind of like...does a fat kid hate cake?

    also, i said i was glad we got rid of scola and called him a flopper.

    coolweather didn't didn't just say he disliked artest. he called him "world peace of ****." that's uncalled for.

    gustavo, i normally enjoy your posts and agree with you but i must slightly disagree here. harden does it by attacking the basket at least. scola flopped on offense and on defense. i'm an old school basketball fan so i especially hate defensive floppers.

    Artest was one of my favorite rockets, but world piece may very well be what the poster called him. He's pulled a lot of **** while campaigning for miss USA on that slogan.

    fair enough, I guess I do have a double standard considering I hated martin and lowry for it but never really had a problem with Scola.

    One point about this fight...That fan that threw the drink on Artest was a total dbag...Artest suprisingly was super calm just laying down on the scorer's table knowing he was hella mad...but just trying to calm himself down...and then that tool threw something at Artest...which made him flip...fans of the palace were just as much to blame of that chaos...

    This may be the dumbest thing I've read on the BBS all week, and that's in consideration of the LOFs.

    You must be 12 or have an understanding of basketball that's equivalent to Paris Hilton.

    It drives me insane when fans make comments like these because it shows an absolute lack of appreciation for players that were ride or die for the team.

    I'm sure you're all over Pippen's junk, or you believe that Luis Scola was overrated. Go to LakersGround or something, kiddo.

    Yuck

    if only scola was the exact same person without the flops, i would really like him. i guess i don't hate him. you're right, gustavo. see you in the lab later.
