Could you be any gayer?
What you call a (boring team) puts championship banners on the rafters and parades on the river. What has your "exciting team" done for you? Try taking away and you'll leave with aHope your a Mercury fan.

It's funny to see an unproven player on an opposing team get his own thread on Spurstalk. I think the guy has skills and upside, but why the obsession over Scola? He ain't done nothin yet in this league.
Karl likes Rockets' pursuit of Scola

HOUSTON — Ask Nuggets coach George Karl about Rockets forward Luis Scola and the likely response will be a head shake and slight smile.
There is frustration and admiration there.
Scola long has been a member of the Argentina National Team, a squad that beat Karl's USA squad at the 2002 World Championships in Indianapolis. Karl, however, is a fan of the Rockets' move to get the 6-foot-9 forward. The Rockets acquired Scola in an offseason trade with San Antonio in July.
"He is kind of an old-school guy that knows how to play," Karl said. "He plays with great hustle and great intensity, but also with intelligence. I think he's been impressive already, and I think he'll be more impressive as the season goes on. I think he'll learn the game a little bit better, he'll move on the learning curve faster than most because of his experiences. And I think it's a great pickup by them."
Scola averaged 13.3 points in his past three games coming into Saturday night's contest.

Houston 101, New York 92

NEW YORK (AP) -- Yao Ming scored 36 points, and the Houston Rockets got big final quarters from Rafer Alston and Luis Scola to beat the New York Knicks 101-92 Wednesday night for their season-high fourth straight victory.
Alston added 20 points, eight assists and six rebounds for the Rockets, who seized control immediately after Knicks coach Isiah Thomas was ejected in the opening minute of the final quarter when he came onto the floor to argue with referee Eric Lewis.
It was unclear if Thomas made contact with the official before he was thrown out for the first time this season. Going onto the floor doesn't warrant an automatic ejection.
Yao made the technical free throw to give Houston a 78-74 lead, then Scola made a pair of buckets and Alston had a 3-pointer and another jumper in the decisive spurt, giving the Rockets an 87-76 advantage with 6:43 remaining.
The Rockets improved to 6-2 since All-Star guard Tracy McGrady went out of the lineup with a strained tendon in his left knee. Scola finished with 19 points, nine in the final quarter.
Jamal Crawford scored 21 points, Nate Robinson had 16 and Stephon Marbury 15 for the Knicks, who won Tuesday in Chicago but failed to match their season high of two straight victories.
The rockets won 5 of the last 6 games, Scola playing really well
