    Are you saying that Adelman is gonna turn this team into one of those really good teams that do well without any superstars?

    Tmac/Yao: NooOoOOoO!!!!11


    But seriously, what I'm most happy about this winning streak is Rafer actually shooting more decently than in previous years. He's play like a superstar if you ask me... by his standards.

    im happy about rafer, landry, and scola's tremendous play

    t-mac on the other hand chooses and picks when he'll try and that pisses me off.

    I am so glad that Rick Adelman finally figured out that Scola should start, I mean most of us here on Clutchfans knew it about a month before he did.....

    You just wonder how many more wins would have happened if he was starting earlier.

    Adelman was waiting for Scola to be ready. U guys really have a problem of premature ejaculation.

    Actually I was in that camp that believed Scola would be great off the bench as an offensive spark.. along with James and Bonzi. It was pretty reasonable then.

    But whatever I'm happy to be wrong as long as we're raking up those Dubya's.

    I can see Scola having 30+ point nights sometime this season.

    I think that t-mac's physical condition still bothers him. I am content with him contributing at this level without disrupting the flow of affense. I hope that he will get better in the playoff.

    Rafer has been playing out of his mind during the winning streak but can he keep it up? That's a huge ?

    Scola though has just been huge since joining the starting line up, he's opened up things with his solid shooting and great inside post presence when Yao is out.

    Last nites game is the kind of win I really really like. The fact that both yao and tracy can have off nites like that and the team still blow out someone, just makes me very happy.

    What's great about this streak? We are officially in the PLAYOFFS and now ranked 7th. BUT we need to keep this up to maintain our position because
    GSW and Denver is just behind. If we could continue to win and beat NOH,
    our playoffs prospect are very bright.

    well put and i agree... rafer continuing his solid play is the key in all this. if we're gonna have a shot at the title he CANNOT revert back to his 2-11, teardropping ways. i'm still not convinced he can play at this level come playoff time.

    Have you noticed that when Landry and Scola are in together, good things seem to happen?

    I feel sorry for some of you, because Rafer is going to break your heart. Still need another PG, bad. His career shooting average does not lie, and his playoff performance is subpar. When the pressure is on, Rafer is gone. Nice personality, poor shooter and finisher. Has spurts, but they won't last.

    Considering that pretty much every one of the losses over the last few months occurred without Yao or Tracy in the lineup, I'm actually not sure it makes much of a difference. I also think Scola has been improving steadily over the course of the season. Nevertheless, I thought it was the right move back in December, and certainly now it looks like the right move.

    Not really. Scola was looking very inconsistent offensively, and struggling a LOT on defense. He wasn't ready until recently.

    I'm just glad it's not so shocking to have 3+ guys in double figures...unlike last year.
