He only take 25 shots in the game!!!

[TIMMYD!]

Just saw that on NBA.com.

Dayum!

[Johnny RIngo]

Hope Scola keeps it up just to remind our front office/owner how retarded they were for giving away to save money.

[EricB]

Wrong forum.

[ducks]

yeah and he got macgrady ran out of town
whined he did not get enough touches with him

[EricB]

Hope Scola keeps it up just to remind our front office/owner how retarded they were for giving away to save money.


Shoulda stepped up at the time and offered to pay the salary.

[TDMVPDPOY]

boo fuckn hoo

so everytime this clown has a good game, you clowns going to bring up his stats in the main spurs section?

since draft night, without him spurs 2 rings....

[ducks]

Hope Scola keeps it up just to remind our front office/owner how retarded they were for giving away to save money.

yes lets root for other teams success not the spurs
because hindsight is always 20-20

[ducks]

he is also to short
he is no taller then blair

[timtonymanu]

yeah but the 3 titles scola gave the rockets are working out, huh?

[ducks]

If you don't think he could have made the difference in 2008 for the Spurs repeat you're crazy. Could have played tough D on Pau and picked up the lack that the 55 year old Horry couldn't.

and scola would not have hipchecked nash

and scola would have drain those long shots
also 2008 scola was not as good as he is now

[Ice009]

Fuck that ;).

[ducks]

nets are not even d level

[Johnny RIngo]

boo fuckn hoo

so everytime this clown has a good game, you clowns going to bring up his stats in the main spurs section?

Spurs haven't won shit since Scola entered the league so your point is meaningless. Everybody knows the biggest mistake the FO made in recent years was standing pat after the '07 championship. Reloading the team with younger talent like Scola doesn't guarantee we would have won a championship but it certainly makes us a better team.

[sook]

yeah but the 3 titles scola gave the rockets are working out, huh?

we have a piece of crap weighing down our cap space stupido :bang

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

You say some odd things, but that is utterly ridiculous. McGrady ran himself out of Houston with his selfish antics, and Scola is anything but selfish.


he is also to short
he is no taller then blair

Actually, he's 6'9", 2 inches taller than Blair who is 6'7". And how is that even relevant when it is quite clear that he's a very good NBA stater? He gets it done regardless of his height. :rolleyes

Why do you hate Argentines so much?

[TDMVPDPOY]

i dont know why some of you clowns continue to posts scola shit thats got nothing to do with the spurs

fkn move on.

[sook]

20-25 from the field and 16 rebounds is a "good" game? That is an amazing game, something you would expect from someone of Duncan's stature, but not from scola. That is why i made this thread.

well he wouldve been a spurs if he hadnt taken the spurs org for a ride since draft night when we tried to bring him over every off season cause he signed a long term deal and a huge ass buyout we couldnt touch. When we had the chance to sign him, spurs think he couldnt play alongside duncan and yes this was wrong....but they have made a blunder and move on.....

believe it or not, the nets were playing really well.

So you will agree that Parker's 55 point game is not that great of game because it was against Minnesota?

scoal did not get along with rc had HUGE buyout

he was also ticked he was not first round

hahahahahahaha i was waiting for this thread. as soon as i saw it on espn i was like "here comes 200 scola threads on that forum that sucks"

[TDMVPDPOY]

scola getting the touches on a team without any star players...thats like posting up big numbers on a one man team...

so where are the rockets now? 10th position on the west ladder....

[spurs1990]

Why didn't we sign Scola again?

[Rogue]

the only irony is the Spurs traded Scola that year for NO strategical or tactical reasons but the pure purpose of financial relief. Les Alexander is well known a cheapass owner and he's enjoyed this repute for the whole time since he purchased the Rockets, but still the Spurs owner makes him flush every time they are compared to each other.

[Sean Cagney]

Hope Scola keeps it up just to remind our front office/owner how retarded they were for giving away to save money.

I don't :lol:lol

[dougp]

Question - how's it feel to have traded Rudy Gay for Shane Battier, an aging defender who doesn't have much left in the tank? Or giving up Carl Landry, someone who could have possibly kept the Rockets in a playoff run?

For every stupid trade the Spurs have made, the Rockets have made more.

[djohn2oo8]

You really wanna talk shit with Dick Jefferson on your squad?

[rapliketp]

Let's applaud Holt for being cheap during Duncan's prime years.

To be fair, he's paying way more tax for having Jefferson on the roster, than he would have for Scola.

[murpjf88]

Shit happens. Get over it. Theirs a laundry list of ex spurs players that have big games and solid years for that matter.

that shane Battier --> Rudy gay swap only looks biased to those who haven't correctly rated Battier TBH. Battier is still only 31 or 2 right now, which ain't too old for a defensive specialist considering how many great years Bowen had enjoyed during his post-32 career. For an invigorated young team Rudy gay of course is more valuable than an older defender but you would be nuts if you think Rudy would help a title chasing team more than Battier could possible do. Volatile attackers are easy to find but often overpaid for their nice-looking stats, take RDJ for example, but you can't even argue against the viewpoint that Battier would probably do a great job if he played for Spurs in place of Jefferson.

[dbestpro]

Yawn, merge and lock.

Rockets are not even going to the playoffs.

[djohn2oo8]

name another play who also has such a defense/team oriented mind Shane Battier has.

Playing on a lottery team with no real scorers and the Rockets are currently playing the easiest portion of their schedule.

Last 5 games against opponents that are a combined .265 this season (87-241), he is averaging 43 minutes a game and taking almost 20 shots a game.

No freakin' wonder he has put up the numbers, averaging 26/15 over that 5 game stretch against the worst teams in the league.

There is absolutely no way he gets those minutes and those touches playing for the Spurs. Or any other team with a legitimate scorer or two.

[jdev82]

BTW Battier participated in every playoff event since his first one of 04... since Grizzlies traded him in 06 summer, they haven't made the playoffs even once so far.

i see nothing wrong with this even though its true they suck,

still better than not making the playoffs, while you come in here talkin shit to spurfans about ur players amazing performances....

the spurs still have a better chance of competing for a championship than the rockets will ever have

[sandman]

Retarded Spurs fan here, nothing to see here

Yeah, because you Rocket fans don't want to talk about how when your team was hitting the skids in January/February and falling out of the playoffs faster than the 19th Duggar kid came shooting out of the uterus, your Jesus Scola was getting only 7 boards a game and saw his scoring average drop to Dick Jefferson levels.

You remember that? Your team was 9-16 over two months, and your Savior Luis grabs double digit rebounds in only 10 of those games. Grabbed less than 5 boards in 10 games. Wasn't scoring. Wasn't rebounding. Wasn't winning.

But he runs the table at 43 minutes a game against the Minnesotas and New Jerseys when his season average is 31 minutes a game, and you want to post on a Spurs message board about what a freakin' stud he is.

You are right. There is nothing here to see.

[Buddy Holly]

You're funny. I live in Houston. I actually watch the games. Scola is a good support/role player who was asked to be the team leader and couldn't handle the job. No fault of his own. Not all Argentinian players can be Manu. So don't try to pretend he is something that he is not. I can think of several role players in the league that given 43 minutes and 20 shots a game against the worst teams in the league can fill up a stat sheet. Hell, Matt Bonner led the Spurs in scoring tonight.

[underdawg]

Dude, just man up and admit the FO screwed the pooch with Scola.

think they're still ahead in the right moves vs. the wrong moves though

My question is - this guys stats are mainly points; where does he get points with the Spurs over the past few years? Gooden was a similar player and he didn't really fit in - my guess would be that Scola would fair the same.

Anthony Tolliver averages 9 and 5 - heck he had 29 in one game this year

[koriwhat]

Actually, he's 6'9", 2 inches taller than Blair who is 6'7". And how is that even relevant when it is quite clear that he's a very good NBA stater? He gets it done regardless of his height. :rolleyes

Why do you hate Argentines so much?

because ducks is a fuckin idiot regardless of who backs him up!

[baseline bum]

Every time Scola scores 20, the Spurs season ticket holders should be allowed to line up and take turns kicking Dennis Lindsey in the fucking nuts.

[sandman]

Anthony Tolliver averages 9 and 5 - heck he had 29 in one game this year

From both an Actual and PER48 perspective, Scola doesn't crack the Top 40 in scoring or the Top 20 in rebounding, even after his recent rampage through the bottom dwellers.

Again, nothing to see here.

you do realize that we lost our backup PG, our starting SG on top of everything that has happened just during that stretch?

We signed 3 D league players at one point.

Get your head out of your ass. And I like how you are trying to give us the playoff bullshit.

This team can make the playoffs, but I'd rather them not.

Put it this way:

Spurs tank to get duncan.

Spurs lose in the first round in 09.

Now which one is really better?

[sook]

FWIW, even though I know you have already rubbed a few out over this stat line... it was 12 rebounds, not 16.

my bad I read noob cake's post and thats what it said. It is 12 for the record.

And your a fucking liar, you don't watch enough rockets games b.c as the poster you replied to said it, scola barely ever played in the 2nd half.

[sook]

For the record, this isn't a troll thread. I'm not doing this as a "Haha you guys suck for giving him to us!" thread. As a lot of posters know, I'm not the type to do so. If anything it shows the spurs ability to draft talent, they just didn't have the room to infiltrate him into the lineup at the time.

I do believe they would hav ebeen awesome though.

We need to let the whole Scola thing go, we only make ourselves sick. It's like the girl you dumped is now Prom Queen. Tough to take, but irrelevant now. Learn from it, but don't live in the past.

he is also to short
he is no taller then blair

he is 2.05 without shoes, it's like 6'10' in NBA listing.

[ChumpDumper]

Scola is a good basketball player, but he isn't a Spur.

[kace]

it happens just the night where Bonner scores 21 and some spurs fans could have thought that maybe it was not so bad to trade scola to keep him :lol

Scola wanted to make it clear that it was a mistake by scoring more than twice the red rocket's points.

[kuato]

Why didn't we sign Scola again?

Money problem, too high buy out. Anyway, congratulations to Scola, he a good bb player (admit that and forget the rest).

Fail. Scola scored 44 today partly because Landry left. That is not a diss on Landry, who is a great player, but two very good PFs were sharing time in Houston, and now that they are apart both are growing their games again.

As for Kevin Martin, he's on a relatively cheap salary for a bona fide wing scorer (10.2mil this year: http://hoopshype.com/salaries/houston.htm), and as he learns to play with that team he'll be a great asset.

Yao
Scola
Ariza
Martin
Brooks

could make some noise next year, especially with guys like Lowry and Battier off the bench, and whatever they add over the off-season.

[easy7]

He would not have scored that many points if he was on Tim's way. :hat

Morey has Bosh on his radar, and Jordan Hill is a solid addition. He'll also draft a big man as well, maybe Greg Monroe, but u are right, hopefully, we should make some noise

[sandman]

How do you average 32 minutes for the season and "barely ever play" in the second half?

Checked his splits for the season:

First half: 15.3 minutes, 7.8 points and 4.4 rebounds
Second half: 15.7 minutes, 7.7 points and 4.4 rebounds

Seems like fairly consistent play, not "barely plays in the second half".

I notice you didn't answer the questions. Either because you don't know the answers, or else you are a self deceiving person.

Since you failed to answer the questions I will do it for you.

The worst team in NBA history, the 72-73 Philadelphia 76'ers, went 9-73 for a 110% winning PCT.

As we speak right now, the New Jersey Nets are on pace to finish with a worse record. Their winning PCT as we speak is 106%.



As we speak, right now, the New Jersey Nets are the worst team in NBA history through 66 games:


http://espn.go.com/nba/features/worstteams



I am not the one in denial, you are. As we speak right now, the New Jersey Nets are the worst team in NBA history.

Period.
Fact.
Inarguably.


I realize Scola being only the second Argentine in history to score 40 points in a game is probably a cause for a National Celebration where you are from...but it really is true that the Nets, at this moment, are the worst team in NBA history, and therefore this 44 point effort by Scola came against the weakest opposition that anyone has ever scored 44 points against.

This is simply fact.


Not just this season, but in all of NBA history.



I will say it again for the one hundredth time...go root for the Rockets, since they so obviously got over on this deal.


Look at who you find yourself in Universal agreement with on Scola, Rocketfans.


Go, and celebrate Scola's greatness with them.


Simply shut the fuck up, and go. You will be happier rooting for winners like Scola and the Rockets, and we will be happier with you doing so.


Yes it will hurt when the Rockets make the playoffs this season while the Spurs try to rebuild through the lottery, but we will survive it, and you will be happier watching the Rockets win another championship with Scola.

[whottt]

Does anyone know what happened to head Rocketfan on this board? TMac and Luther?

That guy knew so much, you could tell by his username.

[DPG21920]

To argue Scola is not a good player is foolish and dishonest at best. Spurs traded him and people need to get over it. That is the only fact. That does not mean he is a bad player and that does not mean the Spurs desperately need him.

[whottt]

:lol at people comparing Tony's 55 point game to this one...the TWolves weren't the worst team in NBA history. They weren't even one of the 50 worst, they weren't even the worst team in the NBA that season.

The Nets are not only by far the worst team in the NBA this season, they are extremely likely to finish with the worst record in NBA history.


Absolutely no comparison.

If that helps you sleep at night

Every night I go to sleep wishing that the Spurs were as good as the Rockets. That they had as good of a record as the Rockets. I have been doing it since the day we traded Scola. Wishing the Spurs were as good as the Rockets...

Wishing the Spurs had kept Scola to solve our defensive big and shotblocking issues...issues Scola is clearly the cure for.



So you see, it is hopeless for me to sleep better at night since the only cures would be for the Spurs to have a better record than the Rockets every single year since the Scola trade, and for Scola to not be the defensive shotblocking presence force he is....

Hopeless really.

I mean the reality is that the Rockets have gone undefeated and won 3 consecutive championships since the Scola trade and Scola himself in reality is a defensive and shotblocking presence equivalent to Bill Russell, Mark Eaton, David Robinson and Dikembe Mutombo combined.

There is simply no cure for my insomnia...but all means keep gloating. We both know the Rockets are clearly the better team and Scola is the reason.

[sandman]

If that helps you sleep at night

3 things:

1. Spursfan is not arguing that Scola is a good player. Spursfan is arguing that Scola would have solved our two big man issues: shotblocking and post defender.

2. Spursfan is tired of Rocketfan posting in the Spurs forum (instead of the NBA forum) about every decent game that he has. What is the point? As stated, the Spurs won two titles after drafting a guy that never played for the team. Good for you that he is putting up decent stats on the team you root for, but the Spurs still have been a better team in all three seasons he has played for the Rockets.

3. Nice sig pics.

[whottt]

I do have to admit one thing...this 44 point nuking of the Nets by Scola is right up there with Jordan dropping 63 points on the Celts in the 86 playoffs. Basically the same thing...

No longer will we speak of Wilt dropping a hundred in a game...now, Scola dropping 44 on the dynasty Nets(who would be working on like 14 championships in a row right now if not for the 3 consecutive undefeated championship seasons by the Scola lead Rockets).

If only we hadn't done that stupid trade.


And to think, we had the Argentine Bill Russell right in our hands. :(



As Scola hoists MVP trophy after MVP trophy, regular season and finals, and racks up all NBA accolades and All Star Games...he certainly has taught the Spurs a lesson. No doubt, the Spurs will rue the day they traded Scola and created a dynastic juggernaut in Houston.

Have mercy on us Luis...we're only human.

[whottt]

Shoulda traded Luis to Cleveland...then we wouldn't have to suffer watching the Rockets win all these championships, right in our own division. And while it's true Cleveland does have LeBron, it was pretty obvious in the 2007 Finals they were a hell of a lot further away from a championship than the mighty Rockets were. Would have been much less painful had we traded Scola to them instead. Trading to a division rival is hopelessly stupid and Scola has done nothing but hammer that point home as he lead the Rockets to 3 consecutive undefeated championship seasons.

Ouch.

[whottt]

So let me crunch some numbers here...

Since the trade Scola is averaging:

44 points per game
21 rebounds per game
100% FG%
100% FT%(I know for a fact he has had at least one game where he was perfect from the field and another game where he was perfect from the line).

The Rockets have won 224 consecutive games(to go with 3 championships)

Not to mention the 3 consecutive division championships and 15-0 record against the Spurs.


Sheesh...

I think we can all agree on one thing, would have been better if we'd just left Scola in Spain, is this was going to be the result of that trade. Much better to get absolutely nothing for him.

In fact, it would have been better if we hadn't drafted Scola at all.

[whottt]

If you watched the fucking games, you'd know Adelman never played Scola late in the 4th quarters when Landry was here, moron!

Oh wait, so you're saying Scola was held out of fourth quarters not because he sucked, but because a guy no longer on the team played them instead.


I guess that proves Scola is indeed a badass defender. I mean the only reason he didn't play fourth quarters is because a guy no longer on the team played them instead. Makes total sense.

Too much depth can be a curse...I spose.

2) Your fellow Spurs fans were the first ones to make threads about it

3) Her name is Rosa Acosta, and it pisses me off that she is with Soulja boy, she must have NO standards

[Harry Callahan]

Maybe the Rockets would have won more than one playoff series in the last 12 years if they had:

1)Not passed on Tony Parker three times in the 2001 draft.
2) Not drafted Eddie Griffin.
3) Not passed on Manu Ginobili in the 1999 draft at least once
4) Not traded away the Rights to Richard Jefferson in 2001 (I know he's been up and down this year, but he's a good player)
5) Not traded away Rudy Gay for an older, less talented player in Battier
6) Not passed on George Hill
7) Not passed on Dujuan Blair
8) Tracy McGrady was an outstanding acquisition a few years ago wasn't it

I know the Spurs are not what there were three and four years ago, but they have outperformed the stinkin Houston Rockets thirteen out of the last fourteen seasons with Four NBA titles.

A little advise for Rocket Fan - go make fun of the Mavericks instead - you'd sound a lot less stupid.

Scola is a fine player. Now you have to pay him and he's already over 30 years old. Good luck with that.

[whottt]

Rockets fans are damn funny. They are directly heading in the lottery and they still talk trash.
They remind me the knight in the "Holly Grail".

Do you fart in their general direction?

[OldSilentHill]

:lol at people comparing Tony's 55 point game to this one...the TWolves weren't the worst team in NBA history. They weren't even one of the 50 worst, they weren't even the worst team in the NBA that season.

The Nets are not only by far the worst team in the NBA this season, they are extremely likely to finish with the worst record in NBA history.


Absolutely no comparison.


But the 55 pts of Tony were...in 2OT? Or I´m confused?

Scola is a very good player, but he has to show that against, for example, the Lakers.

Oh, wait...

To be fair, the Nets didn´t play so bad the last weeks, not at all.

[Indazone]

Luis Scola on his 44 pt game and calling out Yao Ming. LOL

What a night. It's one of the nights that everything I tried worked. I have never had a 44-point night before. Once 40 points in Spain. I'm happy. But we also win, which is more important. We got 2 wins in a row now. That's what we have to focus. I am happy with the ways our team are performing. I'm optimistic about next games to come.

A couple of days ago, when I got 20-20, I remembered a conversation between Yao and me. A year ago, I got 18 rebounds, he came to me and said,'hi, I do have 20-20, you don't." I told him,' that's not the only thing that you have and I don't.' But now I have a 20-20. So he had it and I got it too. Now I've just known that he just have 41 points as the career high. hey, Now I have something he has to face. When I see him, I'm gonna tell him.
Talk to you soon, my friends in China.

[Indazone]

we have a piece of crap weighing down our cap space stupido :bang

Just this..you retard.

Yao Ming:

Career 19 and 10 player, career 83% FT shooter, career 52.5% FG, anchor of a top 5 defense last 4 years, 7-time all-star. Teams MUST game plan SOLELY for his game (there isn't a player in the league who impacts a defensive game plan more than Yao).

Now go play with yourself.

wait wait wait wait wait

With yesterday game, the count is: 5 consecutive games with +20 Points and +10 rebounds, the last game when he don´t score 20 and 10 was vs Sacramento, 19 Points and 18 Rebounds

This year Tim Duncan score 4 consecutives games more than 20 Points and 4 times +10 rebounds and in 3 consecutive games +20 and +10, so the 5 straight games of Scola is a great mark.

His March numbers are: 23,6 Points and 13,6 Rebounds, really great games

And Scola is in the last year contract.

Nice Joke:

A Draft mistake is a one night mistake, or a scouting mistake, but RC Buford and Pop saw Scola 5 years, playing all over the world in 2 World Cups and a Olympics, before traded his rights for nothing

Is not a one night mistake

It's not that big of a deal...someone has to score the points in the paint for the Rockets, and it's not exactly Hayes forte.

Look...on every team, someone has to score the points. Just because they do so doesn't make them great.

If Matt Bonner was a starter and primary big for the Spurs he would put up 20 and 10 games with frequency.

Remember the game Duncan was injured and Matt Bonner started and he put up 23 and 18? It was like his first start for the Spurs.
