Showing up ? , do you want me to post every single day ?You can post whenever you please -- which here means only after Scola does well.
Scola is a good player (fact :P), and the most important, he is getting better at defense.Most important to whom?

To himself and to the people who likes good team basketball.It's not that important to all the people in the world who like good team basketball -- but he is enormously important to those who overrate him for no good reason and their fragile egos.

What else do you want ?

Scola sucks...

Oberto is out performing him every major statistical category except one, scoring, and he plays only 2 more minutes per game.

And you know wha? Scola would score even less on the Spurs...who have 3 primary scorers, as opposed to the Rockets 2.

Never before has one player been overhyped because of National origin, to the degree Scola has...

He's a fucking scrub...

Scola was the MVP of the qualifying tournament to the olympics, won by the Dream Team. He is obviously no scrub. The voters were not argentineans, so your argument lacks consistency.

However, argentineans do overate Scola.

How about you list some of the other players to win that award, former MVP's of the Olympic Qualifying Tournament...then let's see who's argument lacks consistency...

I'd be willing to bet that with maybe one or two exceptions...the evidence based on past winners, will point to Scola being a scrub.

01-02-2008, 12:55 PM

Anyway...I'm looking forward to Scola's FG% dropping under 50%...that was the only one of my predictions about his numbers that is off really...but I also knew it would take time for the league to catch up to him due to his polished game.

I don't care who else won the award. All I know is that Lebron, Melo, AI, etc. played and didn't win it.

Before anyone goes ballistic, I'm not saying Scola is better than these players. I'm not even saying he is a good NBA Player. I'm just saying he is not a Scrub.

It's kinda amazing to see all the reaction about a player who has been average so far. Maybe it's related to his nationality. :stirpot:
When/if Scola turns the corner, it could be understandable to see tons of post about that but for the moment I see no reason to speak that much about Scola.

And saying that "people who likes good team basketball should like Scola" is kinda wrong. There are tons of players who are more team players than Scola. Saying something like "people who likes smart offensive basketball should like Scola" makes way more sense. ---------> The people who saw him playing before the NBA knows he is a good player, more than an average one, but the people that just see him playing on NBA doesn't knows that and base its comments on what Scola did till now on NBA (both ways of seeing it are valid ones), nothing to do with nationality (we never talk about Delfino or Nocioni here). I think this thread must be closed, lets see what happens with Scola in the future. :toast

I haven't said that Scola was an average player, I've said that he was average this year. Scola has been a very good player in Europe, it doesn't mean that he will automatically become a very good nba player.

Would you still feel the same if he was from Greece. Yes off course, i like the way Scola plays, just that. I like players that use the knowledge of the game and the brain to play, not just jumping and dunking or shooting from the same place over and over again. Remember Arvydas Sabonis, Hakim Olajuwon, Karim Abul Jabbar and many many others, im not saying that Scola is at the same level, but i like the way this players play the game (nice to watch and good for a team).

ArgieSpurFAN,
Couldn't you at least go visit a Bonner thread and type something nice about a player that actually plays for the Spurs. Heck you could even do it in this dying thread.

I get the impression that you are a lot happier when a player that doesn't even play in SA has a good game or series of games than one who does. Am I wrong about this? Are you REALLY a Spurs fan?

How 'bout a little love for Bonner? C'mon argSPURSFAN.

Same reason TMac and Battier get more votes than you would think they'd get. I'll give you a hint, it has to do with a certain country with the biggest chinese community in the universe.

Scola seems to play quite well for three weeks. Congrats to him, let's hope it will continue.

He's already had good but also bad stretches.
But he's starting to get confidence from his team and teamates.

9 and 5 in 20 mn and 52% is decent, considering he's not getting many touches or plays.

All in all, I don't think the rockets dealt very well Scola from his arrival. They didn't put him in the best conditions to get the best of him in treating him like the typical rookie.

Sure he had to prove he could play in NBA but giving his past and experience in Europe and international games, they should have give him a bit more consideration and opportunities to prove his value.

Obviously, his defense is still too soft and he's more confortable on attack. That's why they should try to get the best of him on offense when he's on court and not let him be the fourth option.

But it seems to be changing the past weeks.

I really disagree with that. Scola has been put in great condition in Houston : a lot of playtime available and a coach who sticked with him when Scola played bad.
The only rookie treatment he got has been that his teammates didn't give him the ball in the first couple of weeks of the season. After this two weeks, I don't think he wasn't forgot on the offensive end. Scola has almost been in a perfect scenario in Houston.

Obviously, his defense is still too soft and he's more confortable on attack. That's why they should try to get the best of him on offense when he's on court and not let him be the fourth option.

From what I've seen, Scola is mainly a finisher with Houston. If Scola wants to have a bigger role, he must been able to create scoring opportunities for him or his teammate. You had to wonder why that didn't happen for the moment : is it because Scola isn't able to create opportunities or is it because Rockets don't do let him that ?
Future will tell but being a creator is way harder than being a finisher.

It's my turn to disagree.

First, he didn't have a lot of playing time like you're saying. And a important part of it at the beginning of the season was in garbage time (you mentioned it several times if I remember well).

The coach who sticked with him, to quote you, is the one who didn't put him on the court in important moments and who didn't involve him in the offense as a factor. And that coach isn't here anymore by the way.
fans and journalists were complaining about that in houston and some were asking for Luis to start.

From what you've seen, Scola would mostly be a finisher. I'm surprised to read that from you Bruno who knew Scola way before he came in the US.

I've seen his game yesterday vs the bobcats and you could see he has a reliable midrange shoot, that shoot he already had in Europe.
His high post jumper could become money. It's very interesting in a game where pic'nroll has became very used and is allowing to create opportunities as you said.
besides, talking about creation, with his teamates starting to be confident in him, when he has the ball in his hand, he can distribute some intersting passes, not necesseraly assists but "creating" passes.

Adelman is the the coach who stick with him and AFAIK he is still Rockets coach.
You also have to put things in perspective. Scola is a rookie for a team that tried to be in the payoffs. It's quite logical that he doesn't get 35 mpg or plays in the crunch.

If you aren't sold by what I've said, just look at the numbers :
http://www.nba.com/statistics/player/Minutes.jsp?league=00&season=22007&conf=OVERALL&position=0&splitType=9&qualified=N&yearsExp=0&sortOrder=2&splitDD=All%20Teams
Only 7 rookies have played ore than Scola. 5 of them were the top 5 picks of the draft (ouside Oden). 5 of them play for crappy teams.

I stick with what I've said. Scola is in a great situation in Houston.

From what you've seen, Scola would mostly be a finisher. I'm surprised to read that from you Bruno who knew Scola way before he came in the US.

What was Scola outside the NBA doesn't matter. It is what he does in the NBA that matters.
Right now and during games I've watched, Scola was mainly a finisher. His teammates were creating opportunities for him and he was finishing with a drive, a midrange jumper or with a layup.
To me, it's not sure that he can become the one who can create scoring opportunities for himself or for others. If he can't, Scola won't be an offensive force in the nba.

Scola was a loss for the spurs. He's pretty legit within 15 to 17 feet from the basket. But look at it this way. It's too bad to have too many argentinian in the team. If ever, they compete in the olympics and in other international tournaments three of their members would be starting the season exhausted from the games.

Splitter ins't that bad. He maybe a diamond in the rough, but I see a lot of potentials in him. Unlike Scola , he is more fundamentally sound. He can be pretty consistent regardless of who is guarding him. Scola may have a good night every once in a while, but definitely not the type that you can bet your franchise on. Splitter is a small window to the future, However uncertain that maybe.

Over all, I support the spurs' decision. It's a judgment call, and I trust them. Why doesn't anybody question the spurs about choosing ginobili (52nd draftee in the second round) literally unknown during that time. The decision to draft the unknown and young Tony parker? The contract to sign stephen jackson when he was booted out of new jersey (and nearly out of the NBA), to sign in the aging robert horry.

Honestly...the spurs is one of the winnest team in the NBA, they appear in the playoffs almost every year. Always one of the top four teams after the regular season. The people over there is pretty sure of what they are doing. God bless to you all!

Gotta admit after watching Scola for awhile now. He's not the most athletic guy out there. He's sorta slow but somehow he still gets to the basket and his shot falls. He's slow but precise. He does remind me of another slow basketball player that somehow got his shot to fall. Oh Scola isn't as good as that other player but somehow the way Scola moves reminds me of Larry Bird.

Scola is not as good as the left nutsack of Larry Bird. Please do not put these two guys in the same category. Utter nonsense.

Yeah yeah Bird or Collison. They were both big white guys who were slow as all get out. But Bird had some moves and was deadly with his shot. Collison sucks but gets some rebounds. I'd say Scola was somewhere between the two. Doesn't seem to get much lift on his shots and doesn't jump that high.

Rockets' Scola embraces American sights in rookie year

Yao Central with fan Ren Hsieh

The hotel rooms and arenas are basically the same, always the best. But no one can see the world from behind a locked door.

There is a whole world outside that calls to Luis Scola — people and places that this International Man of Curiosity seeks and embraces.

There are streets to walk and people to meet. There are sights to see and touch. There's a new world out there to be discovered.

This, Scola said, is how to adjust to a new country, a new team and life in the NBA. Others fight change. Scola looks for it and welcomes it.

"When you go to school, they teach you about countries, language, history," Scola said. "When you go to places, you learn in a better way. You see it. You touch it. I think it's great to get to know new places, to be around, get in touch with other cultures, learn from them, teach to them. It's just great. I love it."

There was a time when Scola holed up in hotel rooms, maybe escaped to the unreal world of a nightclub or restaurant for a few hours.

But the enthusiasm with which he plays needed to be part of the way he lives. He would not be the American tourist eating Big Macs on the Champs-Elysées or sitting in Starbucks in the Forbidden City. Long before he became an NBA rookie with the Rockets this season, he decided that rather than search for small bits of Argentina, he would grab Seattle or Chicago by the armful.

Scola spent a decade playing in Spain and taking vacations on the island of Minorca. He lives in Houston but calls Buenos Aires home. His place with the powerhouse Argentina national team has taken him to such diverse locales as Greece, Japan and Las Vegas. And as he makes his way to the 28 other NBA cities, he intends to see as much as possible of them.

"I left my country at 17 and have traveled around the world since then," Scola, 27, said. "I grew that way. It came with the profession. When I was younger, I would get to a place and just stay in the hotel or go to a nightclub. Now I got older, and I'm crazy about seeing places. I like the history of the places, but I also like to see the routine of the people of places, in restaurants or walking the streets or in a coffee place."

Landmarks not on agenda

Much like the Rockets' season, that has not always gone as planned. Both trips to New York (one to play the Nets in New Jersey) were all business. In Washington, there was no time to see the sights, and Scola missed the ones he could have seen.

"In New Jersey, he was really disappointed," said Shane Battier, who often accompanies Scola on his excursions. "He wanted to go to the Statue of Liberty. He wanted to walk around the streets of New York. He wanted to see the Empire State Building. In Washington, he was talking to our security guard, Harvey (Berrian), as we drove past the White House. And it's beautiful at night. I tapped him and said, 'Did you see the White House?' He said, 'Ohhhhhh no, I missed the White House.'

"Sometimes we'll take him out and let him see what a town has to offer. We took him to the Pike's Place Market in Seattle. He saw the salmon toss. In Chicago, we were in the heart of Michigan Avenue at Christmas time.

"I think players that play internationally from a very young age know that the best way to make the transition is to immerse themselves in the culture — to unpack your bags, so to speak, and live as the Romans live. Luis definitely has a zest for life."

Family eases transition

Eventually, Scola said, that will probably take him and his family — wife Pamela and sons Tiago and Thomas — home to Buenos Aires. As much as he has taken to differences, the adjustment has been easier because he has his family with him.

"There's an old saying that your country is your family, your friends, your house, your neighborhood," he said. "It's all you touch. It's true, but there is a bunch more that makes something a home.

"My family, my friends, that's what I miss most. But I lived 10 years in Spain. I miss people there, too. I'm sure when I leave Houston I'm going to miss Houston, too."

Until then, there is a great deal of journey left, particularly for someone who spent five years waiting for the NBA part to begin. Selected in the 2002 draft by the San Antonio Spurs, whom the Rockets will host Saturday night, Scola could not reach an agreement to leave Spanish power Tau Ceramica for a Spurs team with Tim Duncan entrenched at his position.

As the other stars of Argentina's national team made their way to the NBA, including Manu Ginobili and Fabricio Oberto with the Spurs, Scola waited until the July trade to the Rockets, becoming the sixth member of Argentina's team in the NBA.

"It is amazing how we got here, because Argentina is not really a basketball country," Scola said. "Being a basketball family in Argentina is very weird. We speak about basketball, but no one knows what we're talking about. I remember talking about Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. People look at you like, what are you talking about?

"When you are a kid, you play and dream about being champion of the world. I was always saying I would play for the national team and win the world championship for Argentina. We never even qualified for the Olympics back then. Then, 10 years later, we won the gold medal (in 2004). It's unbelievable."

Enjoys heavy schedule

Once Scola was in the NBA, the 82-game schedule just gave him more to embrace. The NBA is as his friends had told him. And if it is different from his previous experiences, that's all right, too.

"I really like it," Scola said. "People ask me about 82 games. I say I like it. It's always better to play than practice. You compete every day. That's what we are: competitors."

But it is more than that. It is an exuberance for each experience, especially if it is new and different on the other side of those doors.

Also Greek league he easy be #1 for MVP right now and Greece league now 2nd best of Europe every fan know this now and also the Euroleague you need watch some games with crap he suck. Almost every big play for year is made by him also many game win plays and shots and he always have ball at end of game. 24-1 team and he "suck" :rolleyes goods things for Spur fans the team understand thing more than the fan does.

First, Panathinaikos is 11-1 in Euroleague but they aren't as dominant as their record show. A lot of their wins were very close.
Second, Spanoulis sucks in Euroleague. It's not only because he scores less than 10ppg, it's because he does it in a very inefficient way (low FG% and tons of turnovers).

Also Greek league he easy be #1 for MVP right now

Euroleague >>>>>>>>>>> Greek league.
There are 3 very good team in Greece (Panthinaikos, Olympiacos and Aris). Other Greek teams are average at best.
What Spanoulis does in Greek league is quite meaningless because 80% of his games aren't against a good team.

You confuse if you think stat apply to PAO players. Wonder how PAO have miracle of best record without any player on team in stat leaders. Since everything stat to you Jason Kidd garbage player no scoring and only 4.5 assist on team US = SUCK he must pay to be votes best player.

Great photo.

One question about Scola. It's been long stated that one of the reasons Scola didn't land in S.A. was the FO and coaches were concerned that he couldn't handle limited playing time behind Duncan.

It seems that he's currently getting limited minutes behind Chuck Hayes - who aint exactly Tim Duncan. So how is he handling that?

from the interviews and articles I've seen/read, Scola has such a good team-first attitude and plays so hard when he is out there........never, ever giving up on a rebound/steal opportunity. His 15 ft. J has suffered a bit lately, but it should come back in to form with more time......
I think Scola and Carl Mr. Hops Landry need more playing time than chuck hayes.

Scola has been playing a lot of minutes in the last 10 games or so, inclusive over Hayes. I thinks he's improved his overall defense and that made him stay on the court. It's not surprising to see him score 10+ pts with that amount of playing time, he has the skills it's just a matter of him getting the confidence.

I have watched Scola enough and I think Landry is better and more athletic with longer range and accuracy on his shots. But Scola has some very good low post moves but never dunks the ball? Is this a tendency of Eurobasket to forget dunking the ball? He is every bit as good a flopper as Ginobili though so kudos to him for learning to flop the Argentine way.

Scola's shooting % is about 0.500,he might not have a very long range,but he can make a paycheck out of his midrange jumper.
As far as flooping: He just takes full advantage of the rules and apply them by setting possition on D,that's all.
no flooping,just BBIQ,and knowledge of the game.

wildbill2u

01-29-2008, 12:27 PM

Besides a good mid-range jumper (something that US fans and players tend to scorn)Scola has some crafty moves around the basket that will get him some easy shots. If he makes them, he'll be a net asset on offense.

So far, I've been impressed by his hustle on defense, rebounding and running the court.

His teammates ignore him when he's open at times. I don't know if that's lack of confidence or bias against a rookie with a big Euro rep.

Yao in an interview to Titan in China says he thinks Scola will be the starter from now on supplanting Chuck Hayes.

Titan Sports: What do you mean by the right strategy?

Yao Ming: Well, the biggest change we made was starting Luis Scola, and that sort of caught the Golden States Warriors off guard. As soon as the game started, they were sticking to their former tactics of fronting and double-teaming me with their interior players. And you witnessed how fierce and ominous Luis Scola played in offense. The more fierce and ominous Luis Scola played and scored, the lesser the pressure (and attention) was placed on me. As Luis Scola was left open to score, I was able to score too. That was the reason why we played a superb first quarter, and we were leading unexpectedly 29 to 9, a 20-point margin, something that I never dreamed before.

Titan Sports: What is your take of Luis Scola’s future?

Yao Ming: Now that Luis Scola got his starting position, (I tend to think) he will stay as a starter. Chuck Hayes had provided this team with distinguished services in the past, but Luis Scola's skills and ability in offense will make our team much better.

Forget Scola! The hottest Rocket forward right now is the second round pick, rookie Carl Landry. Even tho Scola is starting now, last night Adelman put the rookie in his place for the 4th quarter.

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5507153.html

"Luis Scola had started and made six of eight shots, but had blown several defensive assignments. So for the final 10 minutes, Adelman went with Landry.

"I thought Steve might be able to spread them out a little bit," Adelman said. "I wanted to give that a try, but I was always going to go to Carl in the fourth quarter. I thought he was really active and really good in the second quarter, so I was going to go to him down the stretch."

"McGrady said. "But he found some open seams, we found him, and he finished for us. He showed everything. He showed the dunks, the little 12-footers, floaters. He was doing it all, rebounding, hustling, going from one end to the other, blocking shots."

This kid is tearing it up every time he steps on the court. They might trade Scola next year for a good guard. :dizzy

Ely's only two years older than Scola is right now, and he didn't have any pro experience his rookie year. The real reason it doesn't matter is because Ely wasn't a Spur his rookie year. Either or both could have been a Spur this year. This year is all that matters, unless you aren't really a Spurs fan. I can't think of a single reason why I'd take Scola over Ely on this year's team.

Yes, besides the best interior scorer in the league, they don't have much else. Except for two of the top penetrating guards in the NBA. If Scola can't play better defense than Oberto or Elson then he doesn't help the squad, because you can't teach size, which he's lacking. Doesn't mean he isn't a good player, but I'd rather see Scola in a situation that suits him better than the Spurs, for his sake as well as the team's.

Don't get me wrong,he won't be no superstar, but, He'll be a 12/7 guy on the regular basics in the future.
His defense and outside shooting are weaker than his rebounding by a long shot. His defense is better than many experts predicted, since many experts predicted he'd have zero defense. The only chance he has of being a 12/7 guy is if he has a chance to start and play significant minutes, something he'd never have been able to do with the Spurs.

I don't think we are THAT far apart in what we are saying. If you are a Spurs fan and a Scola fan you should be glad he's in a good situation, because he wasn't a great fit here.

obstructed view is making a pretty good case... but right now, i'd rather have scola than elson, horry, or bonner. they are all playing like crap right now. of course they have attributes that fit the spurs better than scola's do. but if they're not performing the attributes dont count for squat.

some spurs fans totally discount the argie effect. if scola was coming off the bench with manu and oberto, they'd have a chemistry that would help them overcome their athletic weaknesses. bottomline, they know what they have to do to play together. would they still have bad games? of course, they are human.

but so far out of the three guys i mentioned before, only bonner has a decent ratio of good to bad. we need at least one of them to pick it up because i dont see us going too far with a frontcourt of duncan, oberto finley and udoka.

If Scola was playing next to Duncan, the Spurs would nearly unstoppable. But oops not gonna happen. LOL

You can put anybody next to Duncan and the Spurs are unstoppable! Rose, Nesterovic, Muhommad, Elson, etc. As good as Scola is playing right now he would be even better next to Duncan! But oops , not gonna happen!

Never has so much been made over a guy scoring 10points :yawn

Oberto did it last night...not to mention 11 rebounds...where's his mother fucking thread you Scola sucking bitches?

Too bad Scola won't even sniff ROY...at the age of 27....or is it 28? I know, he needs more time adjust to the NBA...than the 19 year old does....because he's such a great player.

Turn off the mic and the camera's and let see if you get the same answer.you'll probably get "We won it in '99 and we drafted Scola in 2002 and we won titles in 2003,2005,and 2007 and I don't remember him being apart any one of those championship teams so who gives a shit it's been 5 fuckin months we didn't need him then and we certainly don't need him now. We didn't want to trade him to Houston,but we couldn't get what we wanted so we opted to trade him for ($) a player that didn't want to play in the NBA anymore and get rid of that fat ass (jackie)."

Cola doesn't match up against Shaq. Yao will take care of that.

Good game from Luis (against Atlant, right?) not sure his finger, and not sure what impact he could have in our roster.

anyhow he became starter in Houston.
