    Luis Scola is a MF beast!

    27ppg, 14rpg on 57% fg. BEAST i tell ya. BEAST.

    we need players who can be as consistent as scola is night in and night out.

    Yes, Luis will go into beast mode again vs Hornets, but Rockets will lose after a double digit lead. Ariza makes the game winner with the highlight shown on nba.com.

    I think its gonna be Luis Beasting all night with Brooks being Paul's waterboy. Ariza will go 1-15 from the field and 1-10 from three point line and with the game on the line he will try to do a dribble move through 2 defenders and lose his handle :grin:

    Yeah but it's in a loss so it kinda feels useless. Scola is something else though.

    Hey I look at it like this, if we're going to be losers might as well be the best at it mirite??? Perry Jones Harrison Barnes? Is it too early to bring up the draft??

    The problem is that he plays with players who highlight his defensive weaknesses rather than cover up for him.

    he should be playing only with Hill or Jefferies only. Playing him with Yao or Hayes just makes him look really bad on defense.

    Is there any trade value in Hayes? Does any other team besides Rockets wants him to start as center?

    I love Scola but his defense sucks, better than AB/KM.

    David West is going to lite him up.

    Lol but let's find ways to blame other things!!!!!

    Rick's motion offense!!!!! Needs to have some set plays so your best scorers get the ball.

    It also sucks that our PG, don't know how to run a pick and Roll play.

    Glad you mentioned Scola. Amidst the gloom and doom of the three losses we are witnessing an allstar blossom. Go Scola!!

    He gave Al Harrington a couple of wide open 3s, who had 28 points. The offensive output is great but I rather he be a beast with defensive rotations.

    Luis has been great, but we need an athletic big that can guard the guys on the perimeter, neither Luis, Yao, Brad, or Damp can do that, only Jeffries or Hill has a chance against the Harringtons of the world.
