N.P
Tonight, Luis SCOLA was simply incredible for the Rockets. His performance gave Houston the much needed win they were desperate for as this is a crucial time in the NBA for teams who still have a mathematical chances of making it into the playoffs (Please check out my post on his performance against the Nets).
The Rockets need to realize that they’re more than just about Yao and T-Mac. They have all the talent they need to make the cut. Sure Yao is a big present and T-Mac is fully gifted and explodes when on his best. This is where other can make a name for themselves. And tonight, as it was previous games, SCOLA did just that.
