he's been doing that since the beginning. why do you think everyone is always pissed off at him? Rasheed wallace, garnett, the list goes on.
This has nothing to do with win or lose. I would have been just as pissed off even if we won. Win or lose with dignity. There is a reason why Derek Fisher is on my list of the most hated players to ever play in the NBA.
Who cares. Everytime he flops on the floor when someone backs into him and then someone ends up with a wide open layup, it infuriates me to no end. Look at Parsons, look at Lowry (albeit he flops sometimes too) and watch them move their feet and play defense effectively. I HATE FLOPPERS.
So what if we see it! This is a Rocket board. We root for the Rockets to win. Teams do it to us all the time. We have one player who is a good flopper. Nothing wrong with that. Scola was just trying to give us a chance to win a game. Besides I have never seen him do it quite like tonight ever before. If he played like that all the time you might have a bit of an argument. But it's stupid on a Rocket board to not see he was just doing everything he could to give us a chance to win. It didn't work but we didn't lose because Scola didn't try we lost because we are not a playoff team. We are a hard working team that can beat a lot of teams when they don't bring their A game. Our best offensive player is a free agent this summer who may leave us. Our once valauble NY draft pick is losing value and the reality is we are mediocre. Yeah we can beat the best teams when we catch them off guard but does anybody think this Rocket squad can win a series.
Why are you only pointing out scola's flaws? Atleast give him credit for trying to get us back in the game. Dalembert, patterson, lee, and parsons were all playing like garbage the past 2 games. Not to mention our atrocious defense
I realize that. You act like I'm excusing him or something. He's been this way for a long, long time so I don't even like wasting energy on it anymore.
you all are just coming off as ignorant americans at this point.. its depressing to see how the fan base of the team that i like is... where are the non homer knowledgable fans or you all hicks?
Repped. I hate flopping no matter who does it, but comparing any Rocket to any Jazz is hitting below the belt, which is even considered cheap in Utah. Now who's the hypocrite?
Scola is the worst? No he just gets under players skins the worst. He is not effective on defense. Thats how has always been. Its only highlighted by the fact that the Rockets are going through a lull.
If this is true you should quit rooting for the Rockets and start rooting for a team in the Houston Christian boys league. This is the NBA. It's the refs job to officiate the games. McHale and the Celtics were one of the sneakiest despicable teams in the league back then. Scola is mild in comparison. Get over it or cover up your gina.
Threads like this bring down the quality of the GARM. OP should be disgusted at himself. This is basketball. Every player baits their opposition. It's another part of the game, the mental toughness andd fight.
