Since Thorpe, we did have Kevin Willis. But I get the point; with Yao you ideally want an athletic specimen at PF rather his 6'9 twin skill-wise in Scola. That's why I've been hoping for Patterson to do well, because that's exactly what he is. Either that or Jordan Hill to slide over to the spot. But honestly Scola's been doing so well at PF, why not just reverse that theory and start Scola and Hill while Yao comes off the bench until he's clearly recovered some of his confidence and defense?
You got it kind of right, with the games Scola's been having many teams are on the lookout for him. But as statistics go, with the rebounds and points he has been racking up, I'm don't think we will be trading him anytime soon.
Fans who wouldn't flip-flop between wins-loses and understand the season isn't even Half way. The year we won our 1st championship, Rockets where no where as good as they were in the beginning of the season compared to how they played in the playoffs..
