This is a game where Yao would have made a big difference. Bogut was destroying the Rockets' frontcourt. His shooting and passing out from the paint opened up the offense for the rest of the Bucks. Sikma and Adelman must have been drooling.
Scola is also an aggressive hustle guy who also knows how to rebound for his size. He's hardly a completely 1-dimensional player. He's not a great defender, and he's not a great passer, but not being good at 2 things doesnt mean hes only good at 1.
Yao said he can play. Now I understand not messing chemistry and all, but ... Yao could have suited up and helped. That bugs me.
wow, you think the Bucks would be a better team than us even when healthy? I doubt that. We had a bad start to the season, but I seriously doubt that.
Having him on both ends play Bogut killed him tonight. Scola sometimes needs to be wise. I appreciate the competitiveness, but a little head would make him even better.
This team stinks, we are paying millions to a cripple and the Knicks may win fifty . Glad to see everything is working out. Well at least living in OKC, I do get to see some quality hoops!
All the pre season talk about the Rockets having the deepest team. Yes they are so deep that they are drowning.
One-armed Bogut beat the living crap out of us on the boards. We had no answer for him. Still, if Luis scores his usual 20+, we might've won. No way we could survive an off night for Luis. I can't believe we lost to the frickin' Bucks. For the love of basketball, man, the Bucks done us like that!
He's one the worst defenders at his position in the whole league. Plus he's doing his worst season defensively. For his size? Who cares about our size? We will not be rewarded for being midgets. His hustle? I don't see it, sorry, what I see is a severe lack of attitude/concentration. He can score, and that's it. Will get easy rebounds, not rebounds in traffic.
My favorite part was when Bill Worrell said something along the lines of "The last field goal by the Rockets was taken by Jordan Hill seven minutes ago... and he's been on the bench for seven minutes..." I liked what I saw with JT though. Spoiler
When you make the worst offensive team in the league look like the Showtime Lakers, well, you have defensive issues. The thing that concerned the most was the lack of intensity early on. Do the Rockets know what their record is? Have they checked the schedule? If the Rockets are going to stumble through the cup cake part of the schedule, it is going to be down the drain in January.
