I stayed up and watched the Rockets / Sonics game the other night and I was so impressed with those 2 guys I felt like starting this thread.

These guys play with HEART! When Landry fouled out on that horrible call (when he was held) he almost cried. Then when Tmac hit that 3 to take the lead he was the first one off the bench to congratulate him.

Meanwhile you have Mike James and Steve Francis who could care less. Is Steve still even on the team?

I don't know why Chuck Hayes starts. I really think Scola should be starting with Landry coming in with the 2nd unit off the bench. I could see Hayes coming in for defensive purposes in special circumstances but that's about it.

But I really like these 2 guys, they bring some fire that this team needs!

you should add AB and MIKE HARRIS in your list.
in the summer ,MOREY should keep HARRIS and HOWARD giving up SNYDER and JAMES.as for SF3 , though i love him , he will be rockets' 'laoda' forever ,i am too despair at today's SF3 ,it isnt ADELMAN and MOREY's fault .it is a fault of sf3 himself.

We have a great PF trio. Our only weak position is PG at this point.

Hayes is starting because Adelman want to set the defensive tone from the start of game. You dont want your opponents get into a good rhtym early, otherwise it is hard to stop.

But if Landry/Scola become better defenders, then Hayes minutes probably will reduce to 5-10 minutes coming off bench. Both Bill & Clyde were pissed on Hayes consistently missing wide open layups. Clyde went as far to say, "I dont want to be harsh. But if you cant make those layups, you cant play in NBA.".

If there is no Landry gave the Rockets some tangible points 12 & 8, I doubt the Rockets could beat the Sonics 2 in a row. Too much intangibles in the Rockets.

I don't know man, I think Scola is a better d3fensive player and rebounder than Hayes already. And he brings the more intensity and the same if not more hustle. Offensively isn't even a comparision. Don't get me wrong, I like Chuck, but he's been more of an overachiever while Scola has the TALENT. Big difference there.

I wish we could trade Hayes & package him with James, Francis, Rafer, or Bonzi and get a REAL PG. But doubt that will happen.
