The Official Scola Thread

[ScolaDynasty]

So you have no piont whatsoever. Understood.

Scola has been improving without a doubt. Again, this is the "Scola thread"; not the "Rockets thread". Why bring up records?


Scola's increased scoring hasn't resulted in any victories.

Let me know if you need help on anything else you are too stupid to figure out.
But he is increasing in scoring. Again we're not looking at the victories. We all know the Rockets are going to be in the playoffs, so why bother arguing regular season records?

[ChumpDumper]

Scola has been improving without a doubt. Again, this is the "Scola thread"; not the "Rockets thread". Why bring up records?Why bring up Mahinmi and Bonner and Udoka? This is the Scola thread and they have nothing to do with Scola just like you say the Rockets have nothing to do with Scola.
But he is increasing in scoring. Again we're not looking at the victories. We all know the Rockets are going to be in the playoffs, so why bother arguing regular season records?So why are we discussing anything ever?

Looks like you've run out of things to say, so goodbye.

[kuato]

Put the Scola thread on the freezer and defrost it later when something that worth our attention happens with this player.

[ScolaDynasty]

Why bring up Mahinmi and Bonner and Udoka? This is the Scola thread and they have nothing to do with Scola just like you say the Rockets have nothing to do with Scola.

Because the person I was quoting was talking about the offseason so I decided to talk about the offseason as well. You did get those guys this offseason, right?


So why are we discussing anything ever?

To build up drama and provide people with good entertainment. Thank you for contributing.

Just let Spur fan of Amerika know. To help feel better over stupid Scola trade and gives money instead to crap like Bonner. I have talk to Billy again and ask him things. He say this, "I think I not come to NBA again after see how coach act and can not live in Amerika under same situation."

I ask him think mean maybe or no and he say "I have been watch every game of Rockets and see how Scola now play after given chance to adjust by coach, chance I never give by Van Gundy and in Euroleague I am consider better talent prospect than Scola because my agent get non stop the offers from teams like Real, Barcelona, Olympiakos, CSKA, TAU and coaches say I am most wanted point guard but these team know they can never get me because they not of quality of Panathinaikos. Real have made offer of highest paid player in Europe but they can not get me because my standard is set to only Spurs or Greens."

I ask him if he join Spurs. He say, "like I say I think I not return to NBA but I will not say for sure, I tell you for sure I watch all Rockets games to start to see how Scola perform given chance to know for sure to compare if he can play for same team I was on if just give chance then I know I can also be good NBA player if not treated wrong by coach so now I know this I need watch Rocket game no more. But I watch all Spur games and will for all year."

I ask he watch any other NBA team and he tell me "why I need to watch any team other than Spurs? I ask him so this mean you keep watch on them to joins them?

He tell me, "every person of Greece who know what type of player such as myself belong on only two teams. In whole world only two teams that have chance to have me, Panathinaikos and Spurs." So I ask him you play for Spurs or not?

He say "I can only say that this up to me not them. They want me and of course Greens wants me but decision up to me right now I have best or second best team in world to be with."

I don't know if it's the translation, but his personality doesn't seem to fit the spurs mentality quite well. I doubt he can pass thru the 1 year adjust period every new spur must face.

So Vagisilis Spanakopitas is a talented European point guard who feels he is entitled to minutes on an NBA team and pouts when he does not get them.

Didn't the Spurs just trade away the Slovene version of him?

[Indazone]

Spanoulis maybe a very talented guard but a bit more patience would go a long way. If a former All-Star like Steve Francis can be glued to the bench, that means almost anyone can. Agent Zero Arenas comes to mind in that it took longer for him to develop. Hermann and Nachbar didn't get thier chance for awhile but eventually made a big splash.

He also had 3 TO's and 2 fouls in his first 6 minutes of play...

Becuase he talked shit the night the Spurs drafted him...he talked it some more in the Olympics...and he talked it just about every summer he was a Spurs prospect.

Because he blamed the Spurs for his own stupid byout clause with Tau.

And he's a choker.

Hmmm. Where is Scolarules? I can't hear you. Anybody there. (Probably on his fall break from gradeschool).

I'm going to take the Argie point of view this morning:

"It's obvious the Rockets have no idea what they are doing. They must trade Luis to a team that will utilize him properly. It's obvious McGrady's presence (Tmac is such an awful player, you know) will never allow Luis to fulfull his full, immense potential. LS must be traded to the Kings or Warriors where he can have all the shots he so richly deserves."

I'm telling you. Scola is a less athletic Malik Rose. His stats will not look that great when you add up the 82 games - if McGrady and Ming play the bulk of the season. The good news for all those Scola (not necessarily Rocket) fans is that McGrady and / or Ming will get hurt for a significant number of games at some point.

Argie fan POV again:
"I can't wait for McGrady or Ming to get hurt. Then Luis can build up his PPG average and get all of the minutes he deserves. I don't really care what the Rocket's record is."

[meta2007]

I like Scola, but I think that is totally disgraceful! Is the same reason that Scola didn't come to SAS? :rolleyes

I watched the whole Rockets game yesterday because my league pass didn't show Spurs game on time. I think Tmac' presence certainly reduced Scola's shooting chance, but Scola himself deferred several chance as well. I think Scola himself should more brave when Tmac is on the court! That is funny! In addition, coach Adleman should find a way to use Scola more efficently.

People are starting to call for Adleman's head. Unbelievable. Scola should be getting a lot more minutes. James has been atrocious. He actually gives up more points than he scores. The subtitutions and rotations are a joke. With a 5 game Rocket slide, if Adleman doens't do some lineup changes or rotation changes, look for the Rockets to make some wholesale moves at the front office. Morey is still in charge of Rockets Personnel.

90 percent of the Rockets fans still cannot understand why Steve Francis is sitting on the bench.

That's something I don't really get.The rockets backcourt sucks.They are too predectible at the perimeter since T-mac is the one and only option there.
Francis might not be in his best shape,but He can play better BB tham the scrubs who are getting the minutes right now(James and Co)
I really don't like the Rockets at all this year,they seemed to be better last year tham this year.
if they keep being too predictible as they are right now,meaning:T-mac and Yao getting the 80% of the shots, They might not even make it to the playoffs.

Why are people so offensive, scola is a good player, and some people are his fans. Jesus..

[Demo Dick Marcinko]

Why are people so offensive, scola is a good player, and some people are his fans. Jesus..

When all is said and done, it's very conceivable that Scola may end up being a very very good player. I'm guessing what gets under peoples skin is the multiple of scola threads, topics, innuendos, failed attempts at wit and derision and such. We had him, the stars didn't align and we didn't sign him irregardless of who's fault it was. Scola is no longer Spurs property or a player. Move on, because we're still Spur's fans.

I'm not a fan, though I love his game. I hate him, not personally but because he is sleeping with the enemy. Make no mistake though I would have loved to have had him on the Spurs. I am absolutely certain, about as certain as I've ever been about anything that he would have helped the Spurs. But the powers that be, rightly or wrongly didn't see it that way. The deal is done, the ink is dry and we all need to move on.

[Bruno]

I watched the game yesterday and Scola was quite good :
- His offense in the first half was really nice. Scola plays very smart and took what the defense give to him. He was always making the right choice. His passing game was very good with two nice assists.
- In the second half, Miami let him less freedom and Scola was less effective. He started to score again at the end of the game with a couple of good moves.
- Scola didn't look lost at all and his teammates were looking at him during the whole game.
- His defense was atrocious. He did mistakes after mistakes and played no team defense. A defensive minded coach wouldn't have supported this.
- His rebounding was fine even if most of his rebounds were uncontested ones. Scola isn't a rebounding beast but he isn't a liability either.
- Scola is an average shooter. He isn't a good one and it was obvious in this game because he was playing against a good one (Haslem). The difference between both on midrange jumpshoot was flagrant.
-Scola is definitely not a good athlete by nba standard. He isn't strong, big, athletic or quick. It doesn't mean that he won't be a good nba player but he struggled a little around the rim because of that.

All in all, it was a nice game by Scola. However a lot of questions remains about his defensive abilities and about the fact that he isn't more than an opportunistic scorer.

[hsxvvd]

Why are people so offensive, scola is a good player, and some people are his fans. Jesus..

He's not a Spur.

[Obstructed_View]

Insults to idiot Rocket fans aside, with so little NBA experience, Scola looks pretty good to me. He has a knack for getting into the right spots, he has a good basketball IQ and he hustles. He's kind of a Malik/Oberto type guy without Oberto's size or Malik's defense. I hope he has a good pro career, and I wish the Spurs could have kept him, but the simple fact is the Spurs needed to decide between Scola and Splitter. With his size, defense and shooting, Scola wasn't going to be a great fit here.

I agree. Scola's a good scorer with crap D, the defense is the religion in San Antonio and we have better players to fill the scorer role (the Big Three)
Oberto proved in recent games against Yao (only 2p Yao scored on him in 18'), Gasol (only 8p last night on him in 24') and Howard (well, Howard is the beast but Fab did a solid job) he can be a great defender when manages out foul troubles.
I think with Duncan,Oberto, Horry/Elson/Bonner and Splitter next season, the Spurs shouldn't worry for their bigmen options.

His team has a losing record...



So now is Scola's fault that the Rockets suck at the PG and SG possitions too????(I didn't know He was the Rocket's coach too)
LMO @ Wottt almost out of arguments to bush Scola.
The Guy is getting decent stats with T-Mac and Yao in the same team,even though Adelman's game plan and D system sucks mayor ass,Scola is making the best out of it in his roockie season.

Thank god Houston has a player the quality of Scola, otherwise they might have gone on a big losing streak in McGrady's absence :lol

[JPB]

Scola is playing so well the Rockets may never win again!


Thank god Houston has a player the quality of Scola, otherwise they might have gone on a big losing streak in McGrady's absence :lol

I don't get that argument. I didn't see the game but obviously, he sucks on D.

Still, it would have been worth for the rocks without Scola's decent games, right ? Or is he the reason of the losing streak ?

Should he go for 40 and 20, or have bad games so the rocks could win ?

[kuato]

The reason for the Rocket´s losing streak is they suck as a team, Scola is a good team player, if there is no team he cant do anything.

[jay014]

I was bitch!
Your the bitch everytime he has a good game you seem to have an erection. Are you sure your a Spurs fan and for how long? Let me guess when Manu first played his first game and you also root for the Rockets,Bulls, and the Bobcats.

[whottt]

Scola only plays 3 minutes in the first half, Rockets are up by 18.

The idea that somehow the Rockets are holding Scola down is a freaking joke...

The Rockets are a playoff team with at least two players who jocks Scola will never be fit to carry...


You Scola homers are sickening. Don't lecture us about team...you guys don't understand the first thing about team...if you did, you wouldn't be rooting for the player over it...and that's what you are doing...all you care about is Scola's scoring...and couldn't care less about if thr Rockets are actuallly winning or losing...and yet you have the audacity to put down, "the team" to jock the individual, you throw the entire team under the buss, in protecting your beloved individual...I'd call it hypochrisy...only you guys don't seem smart enough to deserve that label.

[E20]

While I agree that when Scola plays less the Rockets win for some reason is an interesting/compelling stat, this thread however, is not about the Rockets winning or their record and it's not even about the Rockets as a team at all, it's about Scola's indvidual game, hence the title of the thread: The Official SCOLA thread. So it's no use bringing in winning in a thread about individual performances.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

^ Agreed. :tu
Why oh why couldn't he be from Cambodia???

[dirk4mvp]

Has it ever occurred to some Scola lovers that he is just not as godly of a player as you would like him to be? He sucks actually.

Says someone who's a dirk fan, I am sure you are an expert on how your favourite player sucked...weeeee! :downspin:

[E20]

Scola at his best will probably average 10 and 5 in the NBA, with some offensive bursts from time to time. It's a select few that think he will be putting up 20 and 10 consistently.

[waly.mg]

The problem of the Rockets isn´t T-Mac, Yao or Scola

The Problem is the other guards

Rafer Alston is 7.4 PPG in 8.2FGA (-1 PPS) with 34.8% FG and 22,4% 3FG (and 4 3FGA)
Mike James is 10 PPG in 10 FGA (1 pps) with 35,7% FG and 37.3% 3FG
Franchise is 35% FG and 0% 3FG, 0.9 PPS

And Bonzi Wells is bad like them, 32.7% and 10%, 0.85 PPS

With that Guards is impossible

[whottt]

With that Guards is impossible


Except when Scola only plays 3 minutes....then an 18 point lead is possible, in one half. Not to mention all of their wins come in a similar situation.

[waly.mg]

One game body

[whottt]

Actually...it's 7 games, or however many wins they have. And when he gets minutes...it's however many losses they have.

[ArgSpursFan.]

Actually...it's 7 games, or however many wins they have. And when he gets minutes...it's however many losses they have.

For the record:He got 8 boards(5 off) in 16 mins vs the Nuggets. that's about 1 board every 2 minutes(pretty impresive)
I wanted to bring this up for those who said He wasn't gonna be a better rebounder in the NBA(Wottt,ChumpD Etc)And He was just a SCORER only.

[ATRAIN]

Its pretty funny that this thread has lasted 15 pages. Yes I am making a contribution to this thread, but only for humor purposes. Yeah we dumped Scola for nothing and from what I have seen its no big loss. Yeah he might be a pretty good player in a few years but only time will tell. For now he is a decent roll player, but nothing really special about him just yet.

Scola will have a respectable NBA career. Can't we just leave it a that? Call me crazy, I'm just throwing things out, you know kinda like brain-storming. Or do we need to go through the 7 step problem solving process?

I'm on the Scola train, first class at that. But eventually I will need to get off. Where's the insanity end? After 7 yrs in the league will the legendary Scola thread be 9k pages long?

Why don't you just say you were wrong about Scola????
Or you want me to start bringing all your quotes about Scola not being fast enough,tall enough,strong enough,a choker etc ect ect??????

I tell you what,I´ll wait until the ASB to start bringing all your Scola's quotes, and them I'll bring all mine back too, and we'll see who was right and who WASN'T.

You'll fail on that tooNo, I'm quite sure you'll always be a bitch.

Why don't you just say you were wrong about Scola????Because you're so busy being a bitch you don't realize that I allowed for the possibility of Scola's having a pretty good NBA career; of course that remains to be seen. You are completely blinded by your stupidity.
I tell you what,I´ll wait until the ASB to start bringing all your Scola's quotes, and them I'll bring all mine back too, and we'll see who was right and who WASN'T.I'll tell You what, Boddy -- bring the quote where I said Scola will be a bust right now. I'm sure you have it bookmarked.

We're all waiting.

Nah,I'll wait till half of the season,so you can't get away with it by saying it's too early yet,or that He just got lucky once or twice because T-mac was enjuried etc ect ect

Why would you think jerk? Is it because all those times you jerk Scola off after a good game.

Well, Scola had a bad game last year, so he's already been proven a bust.

What do you think if i say:
Spain and Argentina are both the teams to beat in the olympics, because the American players don't proven anithing in FIBA?
I'm talking bull shit, isn't it?
Welll the same thing i think when somebody say: Bonner > Scola
Basket is playing all over the worldl
When argentina beats USA in Indy 2002, no one of them were NBA players
So, in that moment if i could sayed FIBA > NBA, but that's not true
Not all the best player are in the NBA
Probably 48 or 49 of the best 50, 95-98 of 100 or 190 of 200, but not every NBA is better than the FIBA'S
Or is the Kiwi better than Scola because he "won" a ring in the NBA

[ChumpDumper]

Spain and Argentina are both the teams to beat in the olympics, because the American players don't proven anithing in FIBA?Could be. Especially with our coach brought to you by American Express.
Welll the same thing i think when somebody say: Bonner > ScolaDo they have sarcasm in Argentina? Pretty much the only reason anyone posts that is because it guarantees an online tantrum from one of you guys. Watching your Pavlovian response is sad and entertaining all at once.

You guys really need to stop living vicariously through your country's basketball players. Or start your own message board where only nice, non-sarcastic things can be said about them.

You guys just love my boy Scola, days... what days... weeks talking about him.

[Mister Sinister]

We once had a bachelor party for Scola. He ate the entire cake, before we could tell him there was a stripper in it.

[Typhoon]

He could easily get 10+ points a game, he’s not getting enough field goal attempts, watched the game against the clippers he played pretty good.

[rayweb_on]

you chumpd jajajaja u are fun
before the season starts you and mardigan were saying that bonner> scola just becouse bonner has nba games and scola not...smart
and now you are saying that the trade was good to the spurs cus the 7-7 record of the rockets ..once again you seem pretty smart
allways putting the things in the rigth perspective ...keep it up dude!!! jajaja

[ArgSpursFan.]

He could easily get 10+ points a game, he’s not getting enough field goal attempts, watched the game against the clippers he played pretty good.

that's the diference between playing for a good team tham a crappy team.
Since Durand is the 1st scoring option for the Sonics,Scola is the last one in Houston.But that's ok , It'll benefit him in the long run though.
LMAO at the posters saying that He wasn't gonna be willing to give up minutes and shots p/game,and that those were the reasons why Spurs didn't signed him.
I guess they were just WRONG...................again.

I think ASF prints out the box scores of all of Scola's decent games and makes two copies. One to frame, and one to soil.

[ChumpDumper]

He doesn't watch the games, so boxscore sniffing is all he can do.

Still waiting for that link, Boddy.

[ArgSpursFan.]

I do watch most of the games we get to see down here, of NBA and Euroleague. But I'm planinig to get me the NBA league pass from Directv.
Of course most of the game I don't see, I look at the boxscores and Game's recap.
Actually ChumpD is the one analizing Euro-players by Boxscores and Scouting reports(most of them bullshit),coze He was the one who compared Scola with Fizer not long ago.
But that's ok, in his imaginary perfect world Bonner is a stud. So I really feel sorry for him.

[ChumpDumper]

Still waiting for the link, Boddy.

And if you could see past Scola's testicles, you'd know which NBA player I compared him to the most when discussing his upside -- but I understand your obsession with Argentinian basketball players you want to fellate is slightly stronger (only slightly stronger) than your obsession with me.

I know,and one of the reazons RC hasn't got fired already.
Don't you think??

[ChumpDumper]

Why would RC get fired?

Too many championships?

[ArgSpursFan.]

Why would RC get fired?

Too many championships?

you didn't get it(as usuall)
let me break it down for you:
If it wasn't for Timmy,Tony and Manu RC would've lost his worthless job already.
They've been saving his ass for the last 3/4 years at least.
Just look at this off season 1st draft pick,or the Scola trade, or Letting go Devin Brown ,Speedy Claxon, S. Jackson etc etc etc.
And also, right now we've got the ugliest backup Front line in the NBA(Bonner and Elson).

[ChumpDumper]

So, too many championships it is. It's obvious you don't realize how things work in the NBA. The Spurs have won championships without all of these players you are whining about.

And this offseason's 1st round pick? Quite good.

[ArgSpursFan.]

So, too many championships it is. .

that's right.Too many championships with the big 3 saved his ass.Otherwise He would've lost his Job.
He was just too lucky to have the big 3, to cover all the FO mistakes.

[ArgSpursFan.]

.

And this offseason's 1st round pick? Quite good.

OK,33th. overall wasted Pick.

[ChumpDumper]

that's right.Too many championships with the big 3 saved his ass.Otherwise He would've lost his Job.
He was just too lucky to have the big 3, to cover all the FO mistakes.Sorry Boddy, he kept the big three intact and surrounded them with players that won multiple championships while working under the constraints of the luxury tax. Whiffing on a number 33 pick doesn't get you fired when you are largely responsible for four championships. Only a dumbass would think it would.

[ArgSpursFan.]

Sorry Boddy, he kept the big three intact and surrounded them with players that won multiple championships while working under the constraints of the luxury tax. Whiffing on a number 33 pick doesn't get you fired when you are largely responsible for four championships. Only a dumbass would think it would.

We'll see who good or bad He is and was once Timmy and Manu retire.
Those kind of mistakes will cost them.Not like now when you can actually play any Scrub in the 2nd unit team,and the big 3 will still win the games.

[ChumpDumper]

We'll see who good or bad He is and was once Timmy and Manu retire.:lol
when he has five or six rings? Yeah, we'll really see then won't we?
Those kind of mistakes will cost them.Not like now when you can actually play any Scrub in the 2nd unit team,and the big 3 will still win the games.Then why bitch about any of those moves while the big three is here? You just took away your own reason to exist. Congratulations, Boddy. You finally finished yourself off.

[ArgSpursFan.]

Then why bitch about any of those moves while the big three is here?

Coze there was room to get better and they didn't take full advantage of it.
We could've got a 10 times better roster right now if it wasn't for the FO fuckups.

[ChumpDumper]

Coze there was room to get better and they did take full advantage of it.
We could've got a 10 times better roster right now if it wasn't for the FO fuckups.:lmao TEN TIMES!

That's quantifiable, isn't it? We could have had 40 championships in 9 years!

Most of the decisions you are whining about were due to payroll and tax issues. You need to stop pretending that they don't exist, Boddy.

[ChumpDumper]

And quit listing non-Argentinian players as if you give a shit about any of them. It's insulting.

[Indazone]

Mainly it's cause T-Mac and Rafer Alston aren't getting the ball to Scola. But when Scola has gotten touches he's torched the nets. He doesn't back down and he's a bulldozer down low. I think he's getting the deer caught in the headlights out of his system right about now. His teammates need to trust him more. He looks really good and improving every game.

Steady Progress
Scola is beginning to show progress nearly a month into rookie season







Damien Pierce
Rockets.com Staff Writer


MIAMI -- Nearly a month into his NBA career, Luis Scola knew exactly what he needed to do to get over his rough introduction to the league.

He had to stop thinking about it.

"I had a bad start," Scola said. "But it doesn't do any good to keep thinking about it. So I tried not to think about it too much. I just needed to keep working hard. When you do that, at the end of the day, something good will happen."

The rookie with the shaggy hair is beginning to make progress.

Since forgetting about his rough start, Scola has shown steady improvement heading into Saturday's home game against the Denver Nuggets.

The Rockets power forward netted at least 20 points in back-to-back games last week, sinking an impressive 66.7 percent of his shots from the floor. He also recorded the first double-double of his career with a 20-point, 11-rebound performance against the Phoenix Suns on Nov. 17.

Scola's recent production provided the Rockets with reliable shooting option when Tracy McGrady was out of the lineup.

Now, Scola is trying to maintain those numbers upon McGrady's return.

"He's coming on," Rockets coach Rick Adelman said. "When teams are fronting Yao like they have been, he's going to get shots. He can make those shots. Luis is a huge factor when he's making shots because it loosens things up."

Scola wasn't hitting much through the first three weeks of the season.

Before going on his recent scoring binge, the forward was averaging a modest 3.9 points on 41.7 percent shooting.

On top of that, Scola had trouble staying on the floor because he struggled with fouls and finding his role within the offense next to Yao and McGrady.

Adelman said the forward looked like he was pressing too much early in the season.

"Luis' biggest problem is that he's got so much energy and he works so hard that sometimes he's going too hard," Adelman said. "He's just relaxed the past few games and we're hoping that's going to carry on over."

Since Scola has spent his entire basketball career overseas, Adelman and his staff anticipated that the 27-year old rookie would need some time to adjust to the NBA.

Through the first month of the season, Scola has been guilty of setting moving screens, something that isn't called in international play.

Scola isn't interested in discussing the challenge of making the transition from international basketball to the NBA.

"I don't really like talking about it because I don't want to make excuses," Scola said. "I want to play the best I can and help the team as best I can. Sometimes I play good and sometimes I play bad. But I try not to think too much about what the differences are or how hard or easy it's been. I just try to play."

Scola, though, did say that he routinely checks with referees and coaches to make sure he's doing things properly.

"I usually do that," he said. "I think it's a good thing to have conversations with the referees and coaches because it's a good way to learn and to have a nice relationship with everybody. Once a foul is called, there is nothing that's going to change it. So I just talk with them to understand what I'm doing."

Scola seems to be catching on.

Over the past four games, the power forward has stayed out of foul trouble and has minimized his turnovers. That has allowed the Rockets to keep him on the floor for extended minutes, where Scola has pulled out of his early-season shooting slump to become a reliable scoring option from the bench.

The Rockets expect Scola's offensive numbers to improve as the Rockets become more adept at running Adelman's high-motion offense.

"He's a guy that thrives on motion and movement," Battier said. "Whenever we have good movement, he's going to play a very good game. He's a really good player. He's going to be in the right spot and he's going to continue to improve."

Scola understands the only way to do that as he adjusts to a new league is to keep an even keel.

"Sometimes I'm going to play good and sometimes I'm going to play bad," Scola said. "Lately, I've been playing good. But I just have to keep playing hard and keep working hard. That's what matters most."

I would rather pay 300m to the spanish club and sign Scola for 300m/year.
I think this choice is better than resign Bonner and Oberto.

I'm still here Bitch. Don't miss me that much.

And quit listing non-Argentinian players as if you give a shit about any of them. It's insulting.

You've been "sposed" again, Boddy.

Well, Scola had a bad game last year, so he's already been proven a bust.

[rayweb_on]

nice way to own this loser but he does not care ...actually he likes to be owned ...he is sucking rc just becouse the rockets are 7 -7 so he thinks the scola trade its the resoult of that record..smart boy!!! keep it up

You are the one who shit his pants at the very thought questioning an Argentinian player's ability. You never cleaned your pants and turds fall out wherever you go. It was fun to keep asking those questions just to see how much you could shit yourself -- going on racist tirades and getting completely personal with me over what?

Nothing.

I didn't even do what you accused me of and you couldn't find it when I called you on it. You have been owned over and over and over again because you continue to be a fucking idiot who doesn't even know what he is arguing.

You are a ridiculous fool.

yup Scola really can't play any D and rebound in the NBA just like the Scola haters said :rolleyes

Scola Dynasty 21 is an unabashed Duncan and Scola homer who was too chickenshit to defend Scola when he wasn't playing well, but was the first to scream "I told you so" at imaginary haters when he did.

[whottt]

Great...he's found a role as a second rate Oberto.. Whoo. Worst trade ever. You really know your shit.

[ArgSpursFan.]

Great...he's found a role as a second rate Oberto.. Whoo. Worst trade ever. You really know your shit.
let's compare Scola's stats with Fabricio's in their Roockie Year.Coze it wouldn't be fair to compare stats from a 3rd yr. player and a roockie.
BTW last night 4/5 FG 0.800%(8 pts)/ 7 rbs/ 1 PF / 0 TO / in 21 mins.

[ArgSpursFan.]

These were Fabricio's roockie season numbers.

1.7 ppg/ 2.1 rpg / .473 fg% / .556 FTs % / 8 mpg

The guy who actually last playoffs and this year have played better tham anybody else alongside Timmy since Drob retired.



Now Scola's stats so far:

7.1 ppg /5.1 rpg/ 1apg/ .547 FG% /588 FT%/ 20 mpg

[whottt]

This just in...Scola is getting more minutes than Oberto did as a rookie.


This is also just in...the Spurs were the defending champions Oberto's rookie season...


The Rockets OTOH, just lost 7 games in a row, haven't made it out of the first round with this current cast, and have a brand new head coach...


One team, has a PF that is considered the greatest PF of all time and will one day be in the HOF...


The other team, has Chuck Hayes as it's PF.


One situation, is quite different than the other. Sharpen your wits a bit, and you'll figure it out...and wake me, when Scola goes 11-11 from the field.

[ArgSpursFan.]

hahaha,almost got it vs us.
I guess He just felt sorry for you Chump Bruno and the rest of the Homers. :lol
BTW,wake me up when Bonner is half the player Scola is.

[BeerIsGood!]

WAKE UP!!

[urunobili]

Bonner> Scola in Spurs system maybe... but Whott... wtf is he doing having several 8+ rebounds when you earlier said he wouldn't be a rebounding force? how many 8+ boards games have bonner had?

[ArgSpursFan.]

WAKE UP!!

Actually,YOU wake up homer.

[whottt]

Bonner> Scola in Spurs system maybe... but Whott... wtf is he doing having several 8+ rebounds when you earlier said he wouldn't be a rebounding force? how many 8+ boards games have bonner had?


Dunno...I'll give you Scola's rebounding has been nice. But as others have pointed...it's not so much he's in there fighting for rebounds, as he's just getting free ones. So while his rebounding has been better than expected...I wouldn't call him a rebounding force. Bonner OTOH, I don't ever seen him getting easy rebounds...he fights for the ones he gets.


Thing is...Duncan is a vacum...he gets every easy rebound there is to get plus he gets tough ones. This is why just about every bigman that lines up alongside him, has a decrease in rebounding totals. Yao OTOH...he's improved his rebounding, but he's not the rebounding force Duncan is. There are more easy rebounds to get on the Rockets than there are on the Spurs.


But I concede Scola's putting up some nice rebounding numbers...he's not showing to be any better of a rebounder than Oberto is though...nor does he get all those taps.

[Scola Trade]

Scola >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bonner anywhere PERIOD.
The only way that Bonner can help the Spurs is behind the bench on street clothes.

OMG!!! He is averaging an assist per game!!! :wow :wow

You do see the significant difference in minutes per game, right? Just checking.

of course I see the mins diference,I guess He deserved those minutes,don't you think? Otherwise He would've been getting limited mins.
Not bad for a Slow,not too good rebounder,as He was expected to be by some people here.

[whottt]

Scola >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bonner anywhere PERIOD.

Oh yeah? What's Scola's 3pt PCT?


Bad insight like that is why you Scolasuckers keep getting owned in these arguments.

So now a couple of 3s in garbage time make Bonner's slow ass better tham Scola???????? :lol

[jay014]

Bonner a career .409 3pt pct can draw his defender to the 3pt line to unclog the lane for a penetrating Parker or Ginobili then have the ability to knock it down can Scola?

[BeerIsGood!]

Actually,YOU wake up homer.


I can undoubtedly say that Bonner is more than half as good as Scola. It is you, Scola homer boy, who is talking supremely out of your loose ass.

[Harry Callahan]

Argspursfan is extremely tiresome now. He is not even a spurs fan really. He is obviously a fan of Argentina guys above all else. ArgieSpur, the basketball guru, please go to a Rockets board where you can complain about how Adelman is a moron and McGrady and Yao are raining on your boy's parade. He probably hopes the Rockets will cut McGrady and Yao so the stats will improve for you know who.

I've heard enough from this poster on ST. Go away.

Yesterday vs. the Warriors: 9 pts 9 rbs 1 blk. in 18 mins.

[whottt]

Yesterday vs. the Warriors: A loss.


Fixed.

[ArgSpursFan.]

Fixed.

I didn't know they should blame Scola for a loss. when did they hire him to coach the Rockets? :reading

[whottt]

I don't know why you keep bringing up his points and rebounds when they aren't contributing to wins....they are meaningless.


I think it's pretty funny how the more minutes Scola gets, the worst the Rockets seem to perform...

You want to blame the Rockets...guess what? The Rockets are a better team than Scola is a player. Rick Adelman has won every where he has gone. He's taken two teams to the finals, and is 10 times the coach that Scola is a player.

Scola is an extremely polished offensive player...but as I said, he's a liability everywhere else, and it's just kind of funny how the Rockets performance suffers the more he is on the floor.

And make no mistake about it...the NBA will figure out his pat move set and learn to stop it...right now they are still testing it and learning it. And he's not going to get more polished....

[ArgSpursFan.]

Yeah,just like they learned to stop Manu when He goes to his left going to the basket,right??
STFU Wottt,the more you talk the more stupid you make your self look like
BTW,Scola has always been +(positive)on most of the games He's played so far. Just go and check the Boxscores of each game.

[whottt]

The fact that you equate Manu to Scola proves me to you are a fucking idiot who wouldn't know a basketball if you had one stuck up your ass.


Shut up, learn the game, then you won't be the board joke anymore.

In summary: Manu>Scola

Idiot.

[ArgSpursFan.]

Shut up, learn the game, then you won't be the board joke anymore.


Actually Wottt,you are the Joke here.
And the funny thing is that I aint doing nothing to make you look like a joke ........................Scola himself is. :lol
But still,keep the Homerism at its best,you're great at it.
FUCKFACE.

[whottt]

Yeah you're such a credible poster your ass got one of the harshest bannings ever given out at this site...nothing says respect like that.


I could burn the Argentine Flag and still not insult Manu as much as you just did by putting he and Scola in the same sentence as equivalent talents.


Douche...

Let me try and make myself as stupid as you are...


Michael Jordan = American
Casey Jacobsen = American

Therefore...Michael Jordan = Casey Jacobsen as a basketball talent.

If you would have bothered to look at my other postings (not many, I'll admit), you would realize I (unlike you) have been a lifelong Spurs fan (since the late 70s). I have forgotten more about the NBA than you know. Trust me.

I've got to admit, this post really demonstrates your impressive command of the English language, what with the multiple grammatical errors and even throwing a very imaginative profanity my way. Good for you. :clap

There is no doubting your amazing ability to regurgitate a box score time after time after time. If you didn't know, most of us here are able to read a boxscore.

Hey, I wish Scola was in SA, but he's not. If it had been up to me, Luis would either be in SA with the Spurs or rotting over in Europe with Tau. Unfortunately, that is not the case because Buford and Popovich had a heart and allowed a deal to happen over the summer. I also believe the Spurs management team has made dozens of correct roster decisions over the years - mistakes have been few and far between. More often than not, the Spurs have had to let talented players go to stay within a budget established by management. The Spurs fiscal blueprint has not allowed them to keep everyone.

Luis is a less athletic Malik Rose who is a little better offensively and a lot worse defensively. Houston is struggling now because they have regressed defensively and are still trying to figure out the new offense. Too many guys are trying to be the star instead of letting Yao and McGrady do their thing.

Scola is a good player. It just gets old seeing the same old post over and over again. :sleep

The bottom line is that Argentina has produced enough good basketball players to where ArgDoucheBag shouldn't be insecure about his country as a basketball power...not all Argie basketball players shit gold, the more good ones you produce, the more less good ones you will produce...is the natural order of success.

Elson could average quint double for a season and it'll still be a flubbed rebound he hammers on.

Elson Sucks ass.And there's no remedy for that.



Wins?
A good roster with good backups bigs will give you wins.

Not like Elson.

Wow.... still going with this rubbish.

Scola defended Duncan 'better' as timvp said, than who? Chuck Hayes (a rugged defender but not a prayer in the world of remotely slowing Duncan at 6'6'), a 73 year old Mutombo?

Since when did a comment from timvp saying Scola defended a guy better Chuck freakin Hayes and Mutombo put someone in the running for an All Defensive First team selection.
