    We could solve this by starting Dalembert and Lee and bringing Hill and Bud off the bench to play against other teams bench players. Gives us a better shot at staying in the game.

    How does a 6'0 PG lead the team in rebounding

    Scola is not soft, and neither is Chase...this thread is soft.

    Bud is soft and doesn't like contact. Martin is semi-soft, and Scola is vertical limited and slow of foot.

    I agree with this.


    Also, Hill is not a C, no matter how much McHale want's him to be, he is a PF, end of story.

    Where the hell was TWill in the 2nd half? He played well in the 1st half and the Rockets were right there but then Mcfail just abandons him because Bud made a few threes???

    He needs to play, people complaining about not getting to the line. TWILL CAN PENETRATE AND GET TO THE FT LINE unlike softy Budinger.

    Because he is a flopper who can't play a lick of defense.

    I thought everyone's defense on Kobe was pretty good. Lee, Twill, and Chase...No effect.

    Chase is mentally weak and has no killer instinct.

    Scola while tough as nails, can't really defend the paint consistently.

    Chase is SOFT and so is that fairy Martin.

    Chase is pretty soft. Especially that one play where instead of going strong and getting the foul, he tried to avoid all contact and chuck up a wild shot.

    I think Scola is the weakest link.

    Please trade him for an expiring.

    Scola is being relied upon to do too much because Hill and Dalembert can't bring it.

    Rockets need to add a heavy 7 footer like Fesenko. Maybe a musical chairs rotation at C will help this team.

    His lateral quickness is not that bad. All he needs to do is shuffle his feet and stay in front of his man. If anything, I'm more confused as to why Scola is a bad defender. I'm willing to give Bud and Martin a break because they are offensive savants and clearly too weak willed to excel on both sides of the ball. They don't have the heart/hustle.

    Lowry/Iguodala/Budinger/Scola/Dalembert is a hell of alot better than Lowry/Martin/Budinger/Scola/Hill
