    Here is commercial that has been played down here to promote the pre-season game against the Orlando Magic Oct. 5th

    <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xmmzj8Qhl3M&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xd0d0d0&hl=es_ES&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xmmzj8Qhl3M&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xd0d0d0&hl=es_ES&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

    I hope this is a good sign he will be with Rockets when they come down here.

    Just a commerical for Lone Star National Bank, if you have debit Lone Star National Bank card you can switch it to a Vipers Debit Card and goes on to encourage people to attend the game between the Rockets and Magic October 5th.

    Spanish, which if you have not been down this far south in Texas is spoken a lot since most of the tourist down here are from Mexico.

    Argentina speaks spanish with an italian accent kind of. But its spanish. This is a good sign, it means the rockets like Scola so much that they are advertising with his face.

    Or that they wanted a player who can speak Spanish to make the commercial. I wonder what other Rocket players can speak Spanish?

    This is proof that Scola will be back with the Rockets. Les will never let go of Luis Scola. He's the Yao of Argentina! Les will lose millions of dollars in sponsorships to the hispanic community!

    It is not bad down here. I am just glad the Rockets are more involved down here because of the Vipers and I finally to watch the Rockets games on fox sports. This area is mainly Dallas Cowboys, Astros, and Spurs fans, so it is nice to see more Rockets fans down here because of their involvement with the D-League Vipers.

    Yep, Scola's speaking Spanish with that Italian-ish Argentine lilt. An example would be, Me llamo, "may YAH-moh", when spoken by an Argentine, "may ZHA-moh".

    But he's tossing in so many English words (usually the bank's name, the name of the debit card) that you don't get much of the Spanish anyway.
