    Nuno next time please ask Scola whether the past game was "a big game for us" or not

    True say no to Bosh. If a trade goes down to break up the core and heart of the team it will be another Barkley deal which the team will pay for in the end. I rather keep the team the way it is with only trading TMac, Cook, Dorsey, and Taylor. What can those players get the team and go from there.

    Isn't funny how we became a great home team when Tmac and Yao aren't here? I remember in seasons past we would have a better record away than at home :p

    Sigging your posts with your initials isn't exactly original genius. It has been done in other message boards, and even in here DD isn't the first to do that. Calling it his "style" when he didn't invent it is just ignorance on your end, and the "TM" is just B.S. unless DD actually filed a copyright like what MJ did with some of his dance steps.

    Those other douchebags make it hard to tell which of the posts came from the original one.

    Good work guys, hope to see more of Scola. Could you ask him where he taught himself those low post moves, are the moves rehearsed or something he pulls intuitively as the situation arises? Is there a specific NBA player he has watched to learn these moves, Hakeem maybe?

    You've only been here since 2008 so how would you know if DD was the first on this site to do it? I don't think it's cool or anything, I actually think it's kind of annoying. DD was the first, I personally saw, doing it, and the only person that doesn't truly agitate me when they use it.

    Oh....and NO ****, he didn't really actually trade mark his initials, it was a joke, one that it seems you were to ignorant to grasp. ;)

    Nice quote from a New York rag:


    "We just didn't quite have the intensity to beat these guys who needed this win bad," D'Antoni said. "We scored enough, [but] our defense wasn't quite as good as it should've been. They turned up the intensity on defense and got physical with us."

    David Lee uncharacteristically bolted the locker room without speaking to reporters. He finished with 26 points, but 20 of them came in the Knicks' dominant first half. Plus, Lee had trouble containing Rockets forward Luis Scola (23 points).

    You are welcome! Luis really gets under the skin of the guys he guards. He's a master of the elbow in the ribs the refs don't see, the little push the refs miss. Drives the fellow he's guarding crazy. You might remember Ariza saying what a jerk he thought Scola was when he was with the Lakers, that he drove people nuts and got away with murder (paraphrasing), but that he loved him now that they were on the same team. Along with Chuck, those two really got to Lee in the second half.


    VIVA SCOLA!!

    Actually, I don't remember that....can't believe I missed it either!

    Kind of hard to reconcile the on court persona of Scola to the public side; he's so very soft spoken and seems easy going to see him or hear him speak, a kind of Spanish Buddha almost (kidding, he's not that laid back).

    Perhaps it's because he gets all of his anger and frustration out during games, leaving just the cool Luis for the rest of the time?

    I think Luis is an example of someone who will not back down, who competes to win and never gives up. Yes, he strikes me as a really nice guy off the court, but when he laces them up and goes out to play, he's doing anything he can to get the victory, short of seriously hurting someone and getting kicked out of the game. At the level he's playing, that's what you want in a player.
