    Since we have one for every other player. I love scola. He was the heart of team and you knew at least he would give it his all.

    He had 24-7-4


    I know asik is a much better rebounder and defender, but its so frustrating that he can't even make a layup. Its Joey Dorsey bad.

    I agree with that. we have no interior offensive threat to balance out our perimeter threats and stretch the floor out.

    I love Scola, but just about everything he scores, he gives it right back on defense. Dude has cement feet. Too bad we couldn't have added Harden to the team we already had last year. That would have been fun to watch.

    Asik is going to be fine. He's shown way more improvement than Dorsey, he just needs time. He'll have Hayes-like development at 7ft, and you'll love him!

    I was going to say Hakeem, but that combo still wouldn't be on that level. David Robinson maybe?

    Scola and Asik would've complimented each other well

    If the Rockets were ready to compete for a title this year Scola would be a great piece to have next to Asik. However, we are not going to contend right now (not yet) and Scola, besides being very expensive, would just be blocking the young players like Patterson and Morris from getting playing time. I think it was the right move to let him go.

    Meanwhile I'm glod that he is doing well with Phoenix. Same goes with Dragic.

    Suns getting torched by the heat! Luis is leading scorer atm.. I miss his post moves and finishing touch around the rim but not his defense.

    Luis did get 3 blocks and took a charge when he got 15 points in the other game.
    Defense is not his strength, but he is far from being finished.
    Go Luis!
