The Luis Scola picture has got to be photoshopped.

Here it is from another angle:

That's right - actual proof that Luis Scola has at some point in his life dunked the ball!

(um...do they use 8 foot rims in International ball?) :lol:

Good first quarter if you disregard that one really sloppy stretch when they went on that run.

Cop out by Andersen. He can D up better than that.

Twice now we've gone to sleep on them. We're lucky that we are still right here.

This Hawks team is freakishly athletic - they'll make anyone pay who steps off the gas pedal, even for a moment.

Interesting stat by Bull there.

Hakeem is #8 on the all-time steals list. The next center on the list is the Admiral, who chimes in at #42.

We were truly blessed to get to see that guy play here, guys.

I don't know, but I like what I'm seeing from Kyle so far.

Ariza's repertoire of moves are executed in slow motion.

Rockets keeping it close. Like to see them cut down on the turnovers.

Down by four at the half. I feel like we should be down by more, but the ninja rockets continue their sneaky scoring habits to keep us in it.

Lowry did well but i think we need a little more AB this game for his scoring.. he came in for 2 minutes and scored a bunch to keep us close.. Adelman should have played him a bit longer in the first half.. I know he is going to play the whole 3rd qtr so lets hope he keeps up his hot shooting.

I agree with that. It was good to see him come in and hit those shots. One thing you've got to give AB is that when he goes out of the game he doesn't sit there and pout. I think that he's on his feet yelling and cheering more than Adelman!

We do need that hot shooting in the second half, tho.
