    Scola really struggles for the moment.
    Adelman is patient with him and continues to give him some playtime early in the games before benching him during second halves.
    It will be interesting to see what will happen if Scola continue to suck. It's kinda unlikely to see Landry or Novak being able to play quality minutes. Rockets will have to stick with bad players, do a trade or play a lot of small ball with Battier or Wells at PF.
    Novak has already been sent down to McAllen. It's Adelman so you're probably right about the small ball. Maybe they'll try to move Francis once he's eligible to be traded.

    That dunk was sick (better than Manu's dunk)

    Gay is on the verge of becoming a big time star in the league.

    Damn, Gay went nasty on Scola.

    However, I do wonder what defensively strategy would have Scola out on the perimeter guarding Rudy Gay

    I see Rick Adelman is starting to have his influence on the Rocket's defense. It's only going to get worse Rockets fan.

    From www.ole.com.ar
    Playing with Yao paying off for Scola, he got a contract to use chinese made shoes for 3 years.

    De acá a la China

    Luis fue contratado para usar zapatillas de ese país por tres años. Y la contra lo viste en la Selección.

    En el vestuario de los Rockets hay una interna tremenda. Luis Scola, con nueve partidos NBA, es uno de los protagonistas. Steve Francis, base con experiencia, defiende al argentino. Shane Battier y Chuck Hayes, los dos ulares, tiran cada uno para su lado. Yao Ming, en el medio de la guerra, no se juega por ninguno. Al plantel de Houston lo dividen... ¡las zapatillas chinas!

    La presencia de Yao, héroe para los chinos y reconocido en el mundo, fue un imán para las marcas de su país. Pero el gigante de 2.27 metros tiene contrato con Reebok, que lo convenció con 100 millones de dólares y en el 2003 se lo aseguró por una década, entonces salieron a buscar a sus compañeros para aprovechar un mercado en ebullición. Cada partido de los Rockets se transmite por 19 canales y tiene en China un piso de 150 millones de espectadores.

    Estar cerca de Yao le dio beneficios a Scola mucho antes de que lo invitara a comer arroz con palitos. Anta, el calzado que más compran los chinos, lo contrató por tres años y embocó dos pelotas de un tiro: calculan que los Juegos Olímpicos de Pekín van a hacer que las ventas suban un 22% el año próximo. Seguro también aumentan las acciones de Luifa, tras una liga en Houston y como figura de la Selección.

    La mitad le había ofrecido Li Ning, marca que compite con Anta por el liderazgo del mercado local y viste a la Selección desde este año (paga 1.500.000 dólares hasta el 2013). ¿Problemas de incompatibilidad? Cero. Para evitar malentendidos y plir con el reglamento, sus agentes le notificaron el cambio de marca a la dirigencia de la Confederación, pero los jugadores tienen libertad para elegir calzado.

    Cuando en agosto lleguen los Juegos de Pekín, la cara de Scola va a aparecer por duplicado en China, mostrando las zapatillas Anta y luciendo para Li Ning la camiseta argentina. No suena raro únicamente para nosotros: los chinos hace sólo un par de meses empezaron a ver a los NBA promocionando marcas locales. El primer paso lo dio Li Ning con Shaq O''Neal, un peso pesado, acompañado por Damon Jones (escolta de Cleveland).

    Cuatro de los Rockets tienen a China en sus pies. El alero Battier usa Peak y el ala pivote Hayes se calza las Li Ning, pero Anta domina. Primero se habían asegurado a Francis, que viene de dos temporadas flojas y ahora no juega por lesión... La relación con Anta tiene más puntos de contacto en Houston: el dueño del equipo, Leslie Alexander, acaba de poner 234.5 millones para convertirse en accionista principal de la empresa (los Rockets le costaron 85 en el 93). ¿Cuántas cenas le van a pagar a Yao?

    yeah but anyone who signs with Rockets automatically gets clothing and shoe endorsements sometimes worth way more than what they make for the Rockets. Call it the "Yao" effect. The Milwaukee Bucks players may be getting some of the "Yi" effect although to a lesser extent.
