Why was Scola benched untill the end of the game??

The writing was on the wall. Joey Crawford was not going to let the Fakers lose. Scola had just taken a hell of a cheap shot, if I was Adelman I would've been concerned about him retaliating.

 

Same reason why Wafer was sent to the locker room... Rockets need to stay focused and not do something stupid to warrant a suspension like Fisher did

 

Hmmm good question. After all the ruckus, we still had a shot to win that game with a few timely 3 pointers and super solid defense. I kinda feel like we conceded that game after Artest got ejected.

Where is all the chatter about Von Wafer sent to the showers early?

 

Because Rick is always a quarter too late on his substitutions. The bench thoroughly outplayed LA and was rewarded for erasing a double digit deficit by being bench until the Lakers gained control of the game for good in the second half.

 

Luis Scola: 12 points on 5/14 (35.7%) shooting, 4 rebounds (2 offensive), -20 while in.

Carl Landry: 21 points on 7/9 (77.8%) shooting, 10 rebounds (5 offensive), +11 while in.

Both had about equal minutes. Landry was playing a ton better than Scola who was just having an off night across the board. I don't mind the choice of sticking with Landry last night.

 

because he bit fisher's head and tried to eat it. rick was really mad about that.

 

haha! i was wondering where the blood was coming from.

 

It's pretty obvious Adelman was just trying to take control of the situation.

If Fisher felt the need to "send a message" to Luis Scola, who's to say the rest of the Lakers didn't want to do the same thing?

Throw in the fact that Landry was playing really well, and it was a smart move by Scola.

 

He was doing great when posting on odom, but we went away from that.

 

Seriously, where did the cut on Fisher's big head come from? Scola's fingernails?

 

Landry and Scola were both benched until Artest got ejected, Adelman was going with a smaller lineup.

 

You should rewatched the 3rd quarter of game 2 to understand why Scola need to be bench.

Scola also was damn hesitant in game 1 that almost cost us the game with his passing the ball to someone who being guarded instead of taking a wide open shots while the clock ran down.

 

Scola lost his concerntration because of the incidents. It showed on his play. Less hustle, more 1 on 3 in the post etc.

 

Scola's teeth.
