It is called "Defense," Amare. Look into it.

Even after the Rockets kept Suns leading scorer Amare Stoudemire in check on Wednesday, holding him to 5-of-13 shooting and 11 points, Stoudemire was unimpressed.

"You got Luis Scola, Chuck Hayes, Carl Landry," Stoudemire said. "Scola, it's his second year in the league. Chuck Hayes and Carl Landry, they're OK players but I definitely need to dominate those guys early — anytime. Nothing against them, they played well. But just from a fact of wanting to dominate and wanting to take over the ball game, that's what I wanted to do. Wasn't quite able to do it.".

Hey, Sun Tzu or whatever you want to call yourself these days -- it's called defense. Yes, I know that's a completely foreign concept to you, but that is why Scola, Landry and Hayes kept you in check. It's a time tested method of winning at basketball. Don't ask the Fat Ass though, he wouldn't know anything about defense either.

Oh, and Scola and Landry are more than mere "OK players" - they are badasses. Your lack of respect only contributed to your unfortunate results.

Stoudemire is a little full of himself, isn’t he?

Only if tattooing "Black Jesus" on your neck is being full of yourself.

The real question...

Which one of them is the BIGGER badass? Or is that like asking what came before the Big Bang?

Yay, sports.

that's easy

Scola is the starter AND has a gold freakin’ medal.

Scola

hands down. Better post moves, more solid on the offense. Landry is better defensively but it isn’t by much. Mostly because he is more athletic. As an overall asset to the team Scola is much much much more valuable.

Meat? They're made out of Meat? Meat.

Scola = Statesman, Landry = Badass

Hands down? I guess it depends on your definition of badass… From my perspective, the guy that says "f*** you" with authoritative dunks takes the title. Scola gets blocked way to often… Landry says, "in ya eye! I break wrists!" Again, Scola may have a case, but it isn’t as obvious to me… Chuck just isn’t a badass. If he started making more of those crazy layups maybe…
