Game Preview #14: San Antonio Spurs @ Houston Rockets

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 01:19:15 -0500

Damn, this team is deep. After the nasty 4-6 start to the season, the Spurs have gone on a 3-game winning streak. In the last game, we beat an exhausted, overworked Warriors team that was on a SEGABABA. Big frickin' deal. The only "good" team we beat during our little win streak was Milwaukee, and that's a very liberal usage of the word "good". Tonight, the task gets a bit tougher - beat an angry Rockets team in their arena. Did...

Preview: Kings at Rockets

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:00:15 -0500

by Rich Pedroncelli - AP View full size photo » THE OPPONENT The Kings, you may remember, saw these Rockets about a week ago, in Sacramento's most recent win, one which took the team to a 5-4 record. The Kings have lost two straight: a disappointing slopfest against Chicago, and a resilient fight in Dallas. Houston has gone 2-2 since last Friday, beating the Lakers and Wolves on the road but losing to Phoenix at home, ...

"Doomed! You're all doomed!" (Photoshop by Exhibit G.) THE OPPONENT Houston is 5-3, with road wins at Golden State and Utah. The road losses were at Portland, and Tuesday in Dallas. The other three wins for Houston, all at home, were against the Blazers, Thunder and Grizzlies. That makes the troubled Jazz the team's best road victory, and the Blazers the only impressive home win. So two impressive wins. Not so frightful, right? Missing Yao Ming and Tracy McG...

FIBA Americas Qualifier: Day 6

By Alfredo R. Berrios ESPNdeportes.com SAN JUAN -- Argentina's Luis Scola knows that the Houston Rockets will go through a transitional phase this upcoming season. Still, the 6-9 forward expects the team to have a good year. "The team is going to face a transition," Scola said. "We'll see how the team reacts with the changes. We might have to play a bit differently than we did last season. We'll have to adapt to the system." Scola, who is playing for Argentina&...

'09 FIBA Americas: Argentina 89, Dom. Republic 87 (OT)

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 04:53:00 -0500

Luis Scola & timely outside shooting lift Argentina over Dominican Republic 89-87 in OT. Forget about Canada-Uruguay, this game easily qualifies as the best game of the 1st round. Less TOs (total of 16) & less fouls than the Can-Urug game plus the added juice of a lively crowd made for a memorable match.This win happened because of a combination of Scola's interior work and 3pt. shooting. Argentina's shooting had been faltering lately but they turned it on from deep, shooting ...

Will Rockets fans miss the most important trade of the decade? It could definitely go under the radar. H-Town shipped both its 2009 draft picks (to bring in Luis Scola and Ron Artest), leaving most Rockets fans without incentive to follow the NBA’s annual rite of passage. It’s no small secret, though, that the team would like to get rid of Tracy McGrady, and June 25 could be as good of time as any to make it happen. Could they dish him to another area code when supporters have their collectiv...

Video: Derek Fisher Checks Luis Scola with Elbow, Should be Suspended

Thu, 07 May 2009 01:15:47 -0500

The way Laker fans were acting following Fisher’s stinker in Game 1, they might actually be happy if Derek Fisher were to be suspended for Game 3 against the Rockets. Luis Scola seemed to be in the middle of every tussle in the second half of Game 2 Wednesday night against the Lakers, getting [...]

Look-Alikes of the Week: Russell Brand and Luis Scola

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 08:09:37 -0500

I noticed this thing a long time ago and I simply never brought it to anyone’s attention, but can you believe the resemblance of these two? And this isn’t to make fun of either but both Russell Brand and Luis Scola have got that “missing link” thing going on don’t they? I’m not 100% sure [...]

Now, a lot of people outside of Boston aren't aware, but Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have been having some trouble lately. Yeah, it appears that Jennifer wasn't too happy to learn that Ben was sleeping with Jimmy Kimmel and left him. That sent Ben into a tailspin and he's been seen slumming around Southie with Sloth from the Goonies. It's true. You can't make this stuff up (and why would you want to?). Well, we plugged Ben's and Sloth's pictures into our Ba...
