    Pau is a loser, it wouldn’t have been the bleak rebuilding situation he’s describing in that video. I hope Scola and Martin make it very clear tonight that we didn’t need his whiny ass.

    um ...Martin defending Kobe, Scola defending Gasol, and Hill defending Bynum has me trembling.

    I hate to be the turd in the punch-bowl, but i don't like this matchup for Houston.

    Kobe's been playing like crap because of his injury and he's been inefficient as hell lately. If K-Mart gets his near usual points off minimal shots, the match up should be a wash since he played well against Tony Allen's and Ginobili's D. Scola and Gasol will be a wash offensively but the concern is our sub par post D and Bynum is playing at a high level lately..he may go off on us.

    I want us to smash them, but Bynum & Gasol are too much to overcome..

    If underdogs never won then there wouldn't be much point of even watching. I'm not saying it can't get ugly for us, I agree about the match-ups, but we have a chance and for tonight I prefer to cling to it, can't do nothing better than that.

    I mean even if not the reffing will be terrible. I'm calling it, officiating will be turrible tonight.

    The reason why Kobe is missing that many shots.

    ^Maybe he should stop jacking up 20+ shots a game then.

    Let's destroy those losers. "They gained a center more or less" I hope Dally gets 17 blocks 4 points and 28 rebounds this game after hill gets into foul trouble.:mad::mad::mad:

    I like how your hypothetical stat line is actually somewhat realistic. "Yeah! He's going to get 17 blocks and 28 rebounds. Of course, lets not get crazy... only 4 points."

    I like it!

    Haha he said, “They changed centers more or less,” -- it wasn’t a slight at Hayes.

    The thing that surprised me is how he thinks we’d be a lowly rebuilding team with him as the #1 option. It speaks a lot about his faith in his basketball abilities, and his willingness to be a leader.

    Scola’s attitude >>>>>>> MenoPAUsal

    I'm having trouble logging onto the League Pass as well. It's not recognizing my e-mail and password. Seems other people are having trouble as well based on this tweet from Hollinger 5 hours ago:

    johnhollinger
    based on my feed I'm one of the lucky ones-lot of folks having trouble just activating.

    I have NBAtv but I want to test out the On Demand feature since I don't have a DVR and I'm on the east coast.

    This is the type of game that we need TWill to play and play with defensive tenacity. Don't know if he is so far in the doghouse that he won't see the floor but we need his defensive skill combined with intensity on Kobe and Ebanks tonight.

    Same thing. :grin::grin:
    I didn't think of it as a shot at chuck. He couldn't score over chuck even if he wanted to. It was more of a shot at sammy D. He should be fired up and get that stat line I mentioned. (OK realistically he will get 4 pts 6 blocks [on gasol] and 14 rebounds)

    these next few games are going to really test what this team is made of, not feeling good about it, even a 0-4 week will not surprise me...
