    (On tonight’s game) “Definitely it was [a big game]. We struggled with Dallas early in the season. We finally could win the last two games so we finished the year on a great note and we're happy with it.”

    (On playing the Hornets on Saturday) “We're going there, actually, so it is also another big game. We just need to accumulate as many wins as we can and they will be a great rival for a playoff fight. It's going to be a huge game.”


    (On the win) "It wasn't looking very good for us but we came back and we closed the game pretty good. It was a huge win for us. We needed the win. We were able to get over it and play the right way in the 4th quarter."


    I'm sure others have noticed this. Listen to the man’s interviews. Every single game, even against mediocre opposition, even if he can only see out of one eye, is a "big game" to Scola.

    He's that guy in a pick-up game at the Y who pisses everyone else off by actually trying...all the time.

    I love this team. :grin:

    Good luck finding another team in recent NBA history who matched this team's intensity night in and night out. I can't think of one.

    Hard work beat talent, when talent doesn't work hard.

    Clever. I laughed.

    Let's see McGrady's big game graph.

    I bet you Scola thinks a pick up game at the YMCA is also a big game too.

    I'll take the type of player Scola is over a type of player McGrady is. Even if McGrady is the more talented guy. Sorry, hate to bring up McGrady but I am just making a point here

    5 star thread. Love Scola. I love all the hard workers on this team. The role players are great. If we can get the "stars aligned" on this team then sky's the limit!

    Exactly. Even to think of trading Scola is a big mistake. I hope the Rockets don't trade any of the contributing players. Trade TMac, Dorsey, Taylor, or Cook.

    The attitude of this team is awesome - I think just about every player on the Rockets has the same approach to each game.
