I have seen more disciplined teams on schoolyard playgrounds than these Knicks. It is truly amazing that Isaiah Thomas still has a job.
Yao had a monster game! I thought the Knicks would just double him all the time, but the Rockets FINALLY figured out that they need to put Scola in to open up lanes. We finally winning some games. Winning ugly, but they are still wins.
Play Scola the way he was used today and: Yao wont be doubled that much, he will average 25 ppg consistently Scola would get a lot of open looks and will continue scoring around 15 ppg The 3 pt shooters will have more open shoots. If adelman realises that having a 3rd scoring option makes it easier for the 1 and 2 scorers on the team we have a nice run ahead...
The Rockets are so much better now at punishing the double team on Yao. Little flat in the first half, but they're coming off a back to back on the road. Second back to back they've swept, without T-Mac. Go Rox.
scola 17 points in 17 minutes....alston was clutch 20 points....yao was amazing.... luther head made some timely three's, and chuck hayes played hard.......... great win
