My seats were awesome. At 10 seconds left in the game you can hear me yell HOW SWEET IT IS! Atleast on the Wizards broadcast, I need to get a copy of Houstons.
Another thing about Lowry. He, along with Scola, are the only 2 players on this team that he has explicitly said that he would retain at all costs. "The most impactful player on the team." Everyone else on the team is potentially on the cutting board. That includes Brooks if the right deal comes along.
Also the only two who are RFA, which is what they are talking about. After the Landry trade, its foolish to think anyone on this team is untouchable.
Scola is so consistent, night in and night out he scores, rebounds, defends, hustles, gives his all. How can you not love him? It seems like he is the Rockets "go to" guy when they really need points. To me, he is the real "glue guy."
Finally, Lowry comes back. We will start another run. I really like that kid! Please don't let him go, Morey!

A couple of things I noticed while watching the game... 1. It is clear that we need Scola... he is the man in the low post... he has a solid all around game and does it consistently... 2. Martin didn't have a good shooting night although i think he played pretty smart. Hopefully his shooting touch comes around. 3. I like brooks alot... and I love watching him play. Many of you have pointed out that Brooks is not clutch in the 4th quarter... The problem I have with this is everyone else out there who was shooting wasn't making them... He passed the ball but everyone else missed open shots.... so dont blame just him. I do agree that lowry's defense is better.... but until he can force people to guard him closer on the perimeter I think brooks is ok starting. Anyways, they are on the same team and I will root for them both nonetheless. 4. I miss landry... he had heart... hopefully we can get him back (dreaming)....
good win. the 3 point shooting was pretty weak though. Anyone notice since Landry was traded that Luis has had a big increase in minutes and is putting up monster stats? gotta love Scola.
Bull mentioned that with Ariza & Lowery back, Adelman had a 10 man rotation available. I like having Hill & JJ in together.
Scola is the most underrated player in NBA history. He got no headlines anywhere after multiple huge games.
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but there's a big difference between Lowry's 3 rebounds (2 offensive & 1 defensive) and Brooks' 3 rebounds (all defensive).
i love how our bench makes us multi dimensional. without lowry and ariza our bench played like a weaker starting lineup. now it looks like we have 2 different teams that we can adjust to our opponents. Lowry BUD Ariza Hill Great bench
