Cbud is back tomorrow, maybe give him a shot at it....with Luis..... CBud runs it very well with Hill.......he could do it with Scola and Miller too. DD
I don't know what games you've been watching but the best memory I have of the last few outings has been when scola got triple teamed by the Knicks... And still scored. Also, what other rocket ever gets double teamed? Yao? Not this season.
Scola is good in international play with a different set of rules, but unless he or anybody else on this team learns to pass, cut to the rim, or shoot better from the outside, no 1 can be the # 1 option. The problem is Scola used his hips and sometimes elbows to create space and seal defenders for a quick move, he's being called for those in NBA play. Deep down inside, I have come to accept and realize this team is not even a decent NBA squad much less on the same page of what Adelman or any type of team basketball. It's a big old mess.
OK, here's a modest proposal. Why don't we just have Scola bring the ball up the court every time instead of Brooks, Lowry, or Ish. This way we won't have to take a risk passing the ball to Scola. Scola can just bring the ball up court, start backing down his defender toward the basket and then use one of his many patented offensive moves to score a basket. All the other Rocket players can focus on rebounding and getting back on defense.
He should be that NOW! and continue to be untill teams either double him or figure out how to stop him, he is shooting at and amazing clip. To not take advantage of that would be idiot. It doesn´t matter if he is so great or not, it´s a matter of him being able to make shots, if your primary shot taker has a good FG% then it will help your overall team FG%. We should do it to force teams adjust to that. But it won´t win games unless 2 or 3 players can consistently shoot at the high %40´s.
