Don't get me wrong I like Patterson. Just like your screen name, you are dreaming. If you swapped Scolas and Pattersons minutes around today I don't think we win the game. Patterson needs to get a lot better on his post game.
well yeah, that's why we were ranked no. 3 in overall defense with a lineup of yao and scola. Having a legit center that clogs up the middle and can clean up the glass makes everybody's life easier.
PPat does not have much of post up game. PPat does well when he is shooting jumpers, when he is asked to post up he struggles. Right now you cannot compare PPat's post up game to Scola's cause Scola is way too crafty. McHale needs to work with PPat with his post up moves cause the Rockets badly need another player that can score in the block.
He probably won't admit it but I think Scola was affected with the trade rumors. If you remember he played awesome the first part of the season then started playing like trash once the trade rumor season began. Now that the trade deadline has passed he's started playing amazing again.
Love the example he sets for the rest of the team and can only imagine what his pregame speeches must sounds like
During the clutch time, scola's post presence is priceless for rox win tonite. He torn Murphy first with easy turn-around hook and freethrows, which forced laker put Ron Artest on him after a timeout. But u know what, the Argentinian tango continued in the very next possession! Luis used his crafty footwork to cheese the whole laker defensive bigs, and laid in an easy 2 to nail the lead for the rox. One thing though, he takes advantage in the ejection of bye-num, whose size posted problem for rox's inside game. Anyway, from the recent plays, luis scola >>>>>>>>>>Galsoft in heart, efficiency and watchability! Statement win for Rox tonite, keep girding, our season journey can be deep and exciting!
Agreed, that hook he iced from the middle of the paint with Artest draped all over him was a thing of beauty.
Scola is an absolute beast. It will be a sad day f he is ever not a Rocket anymore. PPat needs some serious work. His jump shots and hook shota are RARELY falling and I felt like I was screaming at the TV every time he was in the game. Screaming for Scola to be put back in. Sorry PPat fans, but Scola is the superior player for sure.
He complains about Scola throughout every game thread. Even when Scola is playing well and people are complimenting him, he’ll find some way to troll and take credit away from him. He bumps the “Amnesty Scola” thread after every game that’s not of Scola’s best and finds ways to dump on him on in every thread that’s praising him. It’s seriously gotten to ridiculous levels of trolling, and I’m glad he’s quiet this time instead of coming in and trying to find ways to put down Scola’s great performance.
