That's why I put Luis Scola in the package :grin: Look Aldridge is both Hill and Scola combined, length + skill.
Damn and I thought that home cooking would help the team get their first win of the new year. Seriously the team needs a trade in the worst way but if they don't I guess it is back to the lottery.
Wow... that's really all I can say. This team desperately needs a low-post defender. No Chuck Hayes = definite loss with this team's make-up.
Adelman IS awkward. He gives the worst interviews because he's such a stubborn, hard-nosed prick. The man has a cold personality.
He gave Scola a point blank look with plenty of time left. The game might have ended differently if Scola didn't ef it up. You want to b****.. b**** at Scola, Hill, Miller and Adelman. At least, Lowry made the shot to give us a shot at the end to tie.
Jordan Hill + Luis Scola for Lemarcus Aldridge. Then pick up Greg Oden later on. (For those that haven't read or understand the medical info please don't respond concerning Oden)
Miller always sucks, no surprise here. Lowry sucked because of the competition - he was overmatched. Ditto for Scola. Kmart hit his 3-point jumpers but was torched on defense as usual. Again, no surprise here. And just WHO was Adelman supposed to use to double Aldridge? Patterson? Budinger? Williams? Hakeem? Thorpe? The game was close but in the end the Rockets couldn't close out which again comes as no surprise as this has been a weakness for some time now. What really chapped me off was Worrell and Drexler. They literally made my head hurt with their inane commentary and mindless patter.
Kevin Martin dropped 45 points on EIGHTEEN shots. LOL. Should have been 50 but Adelman did a horrible coaching job. I mean the guy was on verge to have the biggest outing that I've ever seen from a Rockets player. I saw Hakeem drop 51 in a loss to the Nuggets when I was a child.
I blame this on Adelman. Hill is who we thought he is, why was he being asked to single cover LMA? How is it fair to ask that of him? I guess there was no alternative. And we couldn't run an out of bounds play if our lives depended on it. The Lowry to Scola play when we are down by 2, and the final play, no one could get open at all. Losing Deke/Yao and now Chuck, our defense has slowly withered away, now it's nonexistent.
Relax, guys its time to start tracking the draft prospects.. http://www.nbadraft.net/2011mock_draft We are currently in position to rank Jan Vesely: 6'11 SF/PF: His very explosive, his great from 3 point range and has a very high motor.. has a gotten comparison's to Manu Ginobli <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mv94UTAmagE?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mv94UTAmagE?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
What good would tanking do? I don't think we will have our own pick anyway, and there aren't any bigs in this draft. I saw Skinner was just waived... that is how bad I think our bigs are right now, I am thinking about Brian Effin' Skinner.
