The Official Scola Thread

[mystargtr34]

and congrats on post #1000 wireonfire

[ArgSpursFan.]

HI everyone,It's been a while since my last post.
Looks like my boy is been balling later,and also and more important:Its good to see ChumpDumper finally has got down to earth with his comments and questions about Scola
Here's why:six months ago He was comparing Scola with Scrubs that never made it in the NBA,and now He's asking how He would do against SHAQ. :lmao the most dominant post player of the last decade in the NBA.
Good for you Chump :tu
BTW, 14 pts(7/9) 9 rbs(1/8)in 25 mins vs. the Hawks.Not bad huh?

[ChumpDumper]

I always compared Scola to quite a good NBA player. You never realized that when he was doing bad and you were hiding out like a little bitch. You still don't. He's doing about what I thought he could.

:tu indeed.

[coldsweat]

The man took 50 games to beat out Chuck freakin Hayes

he didn't deserve to start because although his offense was polished from the start, he was fouling on defense and couldn't stay in the game for a long period of time. now that he's learned not to pick up the ticky-tack fouls, and is showing potential on defense (particularly the pick-and-roll), he deserves the starting position. since rookies require an adjustment period (for him it was adjusting to the officiating), you can't really incriminate scola for not starting from the start.

[Rainman]

The man took 50 games to beat out Chuck freakin Hayes

In the beginning Scola was averaging a foul a minute and even though he was doing many things well, he couldn't stay on the floor. His defense needed a lot of work, so Chuck got the minutes.

Now Scola's defense has improved and why he's still not as good as Chuck, he stays out of foul trouble and the defense does not drop off to drastically with him in the game. While it has been known that Scola is a good offensive player his rebounding has better than expected.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Some NBA fan not realize Euroleague player need time adjust NBA foul call as ref calls game much different. Spanoulis not give chance to adjust by coach but Adelman good coach let Scola adjust.

Spur fan just mad because they not get Scola. He will be the best big player on Spurs after Tim Duncan if they have him. Also I check Rocket team have the 17-5 record last 22 game.

[WalterBenitez]

Do you think the Grizzlies have an "official Pau Gasol thread" :downspin:

Not the same case, but they should :P

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

Scola would have help the Spurs get a win tonight

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Scola would have help the Spurs get a win tonight
Dwight Howard would've helped us too...

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

Dwight Howard would've helped us too...



true, but the Spurs didn't own the right of Howard and didn't trade him away for nothing




a little bit of difference there

Really??????? :lmao
I'm gonna have to bring back some post of yours in the offseason.
Damn Chump,You make me work kid.

:tu indeed.

I never hided,It just happens that I have a life offline,not like you.
As far as Scola's performance in the last 10 to 15 games, you never predicted He was gonna be this good,and guess what?? He'll keep getting better as the time goes by.
Damn,It feels so good to be wright.

[whottt]

I remain unimpressed with Scola...Adelman's system boosts numbers, everyone knows that.

[ChumpDumper]

Really??????? :lmao

Damn Chump,You make me work kid.Sure go back and find the NBA player I thought he would be most like.

Go ahead.

Damn,It feels so good to be wright.It feels good to spell "right" right.

But you weren't right, you hid like a bitch whenever he did badly and left it to me to keep the faith on my own. You are pathetic. I'm the real Scola fan here.

I only asked about how he plays against Shaq because that's what we need now. Just like before we needed a long small forward to guard the perimeter and knock down outside shots. Trading a player away for money is never a great thing, but it happens all the time. Had we really needed Scola this season, I would be more upset about it -- but we really didn't.

When your bigs are Oberto, Elson and Bonner, you need every minute of Scola.
Scola was a sure bet.
The Spurs FO, for all their good moves, blew this one.
Some here -perhaps with a more direct knowledge of the guy- wrote it.

It was a mistake.

Period.

You kept mentioning that he wouldn't find his minutes behind Duncan.
I distinctly remember this, as you are one of the few I read in this forum.

I still think you were asa wrong as the Spurs FO.

For all your good posts.

[ChumpDumper]

When your bigs are Oberto, Elson and Bonner, you need every minute of Scola.We still would have played Finley and Udoka at PF today.

[temujin]

We still would have played Finley and Udoka at PF today.

Not sure.

I saw a lot of Oberto in the 4th.
I haven't seen a lot of the Bonner guy that really took his place, lately.
I could see Scola knocking down shots in the fourth quarter, shots that Oberto didn't even consider taking.
Scola is mentally a goto guy in the clutch.

It's like the comments I read about Manu not making the ASG.
"You take Iverson and I take Ginobili and let's see who wins."
I take Scola, you take any of the three.

[ChumpDumper]

Scola is mentally a goto guy in the clutch.I never really saw that in the big Euroleague games.

Quite the opposite actually.

Scola has a purpose, but don't try to pimp that angle.

[manufor3]

Scola is mentally a goto guy in the clutch.

He's more of a role player... :fro

who would have been damn perfect fit next to TD (who would be the C like he plays so often)



Spurs could really play an up tempo or half court game with Scola/Duncan/Manu/Bowen/Parker

[DaDakota]

As a Rockets fan, who respects the Spurs, I really can not believe that the Spurs gave him up for so little.

I do respect Popovich for basically realizing that they could not get Scola over, and that he deserved a chance to play in the NBA....

That was a class move that we Rocket fans appreciate....a lot.

Luis plays with passion, emotion and has a huge B-Ball IQ.....since he moved into the starting lineup at the PF spot, Houston is 6-0 and is averaging 100ppg and giving up only 90.83ppg....

Scola has made all the difference in the world.

Thanks,

It wasn't much of a basketball decision.

[DaDakota]

Yes, they wanted little in return, but to avoid the lux tax and the Jackie Butler contract that the Rockets got as a poisen pill in the trade is putting the Rockets into Lux tax land.

Spurs wanted to keep Bonner. Lets see how much does Bonner make again? How much is he playing these days? :ROFL

What makes you think Scola would have even gotten off the bench for the Spurs?

Hell he might have wound up playing in the d-league.


He wouldn't have put up the numbers on this team that he is putting up on the Rockets...

He would have spent substantially more time on the bench for the Spurs than he is for the Rockets.

Spurs>Rockets



I hate to break it to you..

Hate to break it to you whottt but Scola is better than more than one player on the Spurs current Roster - D leauge would be doubtful for him. Haven't you heard he is know as the Big Manu! :lol

[Indazone]

Here is what Thorpe says about Scola on ESPN:

As I watch hundreds of video clips and game tape of rookies each week, no player makes me appreciate the NBA game more than Luis Scola. Offensively, he plays the game the right way: moving in space, feeling gaps, making tough catches and tougher plays, and showing creativity with the ball around the rim. In short, he looks like a perfect player for the Spurs, the team that traded him. I still wonder what happened for that deal to go down.

:p:

[temujin]

That's right.

Spurs>Rockets.

This not because but DESPITE their bigs, except Duncan.

Scola is playing along an horrible point guard, a marble center and a you-guys-are-going-to-need-another-ball-cause-I-am-swallowing-this-one.
Not exactly Duncan and Parker and Ginobili.

In addition he is a winner.

He is the main reason why Argentina won the Olympic final game. He was absolutely unstoppable in that game.

A game that only happens once in a lifetime, NOT every other year (even or UNEVEN).

Finally, there is a nemesis.

May the Spurs NOT meet the Rockets in playoffs.

True, but Scola sucks...

[Hemotivo]

not true

[DaDakota]

Anyone who thinks that Scola would not be playing is nutz, he would be playing on ANY NBA team, his B-ball IQ is off the charts.

He has Kevin McHales types of offensive moves around the basket, he would most assuradly be playing for the Spurs.....

And he is the key reason the Rockets have won 10 out of 11 and 7 in a row.

DD

[anakha]

Easy on the comparisons there, buddy.

McHale may suck at being a GM, but he was light years ahead of Scola as an inside player.

Oh, I am not saying he is as good as McHale...LOL.....just saying he has some of the same crafty type of moves around the basket.

He is not a super athlete, but his intellect is off the charts....he is a lot like Manu in that he plays to a different rythmn and it allows him to get an advantage doing it.

What is outrageous is how good the Argentinian national team is going to be at the Olympics this year.

Manu
Scola
Oberto
Nocionne
Hermann
Delfino

They are going to give the USA a run for the Gold medal.

Hermann and Delfino need more minutes.

They make trade belief that Spanoulis will play for them. Do not believe any other lie said about the trade.

[Indazone]

Walter Hermmann is getting screwed on the Pistons squad. He was very good and was on my fantasy squad last year. Someone should rescue him from the bench of the Detroit Pistons.

well let's see


the Spurs fucked up on Scola


they fucked up on drafting Noc



doesn't seem to likely then..........

[Indazone]

Just go out and get Walter Hermann. Surely a trade with the Pistons makes sense. It's out of the divison and they are both overloaded with talent. Both teams can address weaknesses.

well Bruno,tell me what Elson,Bonner or Even Ian Were able to do to help the Spurs front line,and them go look at Scola's numbers,and most important,his numbers in the last 20 games or so,and them comeback and tell me that the trade still doesn't look bad.
Right now,I would trade back Scola for Elson,Bonner,Ian and a draft pick.

[Bruno]

Right now,I would trade back Scola for Elson,Bonner,Ian and a draft pick.

I wouldn't.

Look at the whole picture about the Scola trade :
- Spurs were right about Butler, he was worthless. Teams sell first round pick for $3M, Scola has helped Spurs to save $4.7M. $4.7M and a second round wasn't a that abd return for Scola.
- Rockets are far from being the most dangerous team in the west. Trading with them wasn't a big deal.
- Rockets could have spend their MLE on a player like Joe Smith. Scola doesn't help them more than him.
- Scola hasn't been good enough to make the trade bad. It could change but Scola's performances aren't good enough to turn the trade into a really bad one.

The only thing you could wonder is if Spurs were right to sign Bonner instead of Scola.
First, it's not really related to the Scola trade.
Second, Spurs will need Bonner's shooting when Horry will retire.
Third, while Scola has been better this year than Bonner you had to consider that Scola is in a perfect situation with Rockets while Bonner is behind Horry, a 7 times NBA champion.

[ArgSpursFan.]

I wouldn't.

I know that,that's why I always said,It sould've been Butler+Elson or Bonner or Ian's rights, instead of Butler+Scola's rights.
Bottom line:Bad move.



- Rockets are far from being the most dangerous team in the west. Trading with them wasn't a big deal.
They're like 6 games behind us right now,not that far.


- Rockets could have spend their MLE on a player like Joe Smith. Scola doesn't help them more than him.
Joe Smith is about 10 yrs older tham Scola,So while Scola is helping them right now,He'll keep helping the Rockets in years to come,Joe Smith was not gonna be able to do that.
Good move for the Rockets.

- Scola hasn't been good enough to make the trade bad. It could change but Scola's performances aren't good enough to turn the trade into a really bad one.
Let's take a look again at Bonner's , Elson's and even Fabricio's numbers and compare them with Scola's.

The only thing you could wonder is if Spurs were right to sign Bonner instead of Scola.
They were wrong,real wrong,no doubt about it.


Spurs will need Bonner's shooting
Ok,in Bonner's next life,right?


Third, while Scola has been better this year than Bonner you had to consider that Scola is in a perfect situation with Rockets while Bonner is behind Horry, a 7 times NBA champion.
In any situation,I would take a natural winner to replace another natural winner,regardless of the 3 pt shooting %.
Of course Scola wasn't gonna provide the Spurs with a long range,but He would've been able to do all the things the actual Spurs big outside Duncan can't do.
No matter how you see it,it's still a bad trade,real bad.

[nkdlunch]

Any of the team from Argentina, Greece, Lithuania, Spain have good enough team beat US.

Isn't Russia pretty good too? USA will not have a cakewalk. these olympic basketball will be must see tv

[nkdlunch]

sorry mate.. aging Horry in the playoffs > Scola

good call given that Scola has played 0 playoff games :rolleyes

[ArgSpursFan.]

good call given that Scola has played 0 playoff games :rolleyes

that's true,but He's played a bunch of playoffs games in Euroleague,ACB league,and finals games with the Arg.Nat.Team.
The guy is use to deal with pressure.Not a big deal for him at all.
Now,when Horry retires,you would give the last shot to Bonner??????

[Bruno]

I know that,that's why I always said,It sould've been Butler+Elson or Bonner or Ian's rights, instead of Butler+Scola's rights.
Bottom line:Bad move.

The only trade spur could have made was Butler + first round pick for nothing, then signing Scola instead of Bonner.
I rather have Bonner + a first round pick than Scola.



Let's take a look again at Bonner's , Elson's and even Fabricio's numbers and compare them with Scola's.

Fantasy basketball, nice way to judge a player. :lol
Just give Bonner regular playtime like Scola and he will put similar numbers.
FYI, Scola's PER is 15.0. Bonner PER in his rookie season was 14.7.
Scola's number are far from being impressive.



In any situation,I would take a natural winner to replace another natural winner,regardless of the 3 pt shooting %.


:rolleyes
Scola isn't a natural winner or a big game guy. You shouldn't have followed him in Europe.


I've said since day one that Scola was easily a better all around player than Bonner but as a Spurs fan you should know the value of a role player.
Bonner will have a role on this team when Horry will be gone. It's far from sure that Scola could have found his niche with Spurs.
The value of a basketball team isn't the sum of its talents. Spurs have won some titles without begin the most talented team in the league.

[Indazone]

They're like 6 games behind us right now,not that far.


Actually 3 games but we will keep rocking with Scola baby!!

[waly.mg]

The fact is:

Between seasons a lot of people sayed, Scola don´t proved anything in the NBA

Now with 40 games in the season, Scola is ahead of Bonner in Points, rebounds, Assists, and Steals

Last Ten: 11.1 Points and 6.2 Boards
Last 5: 10.8 and 7.0
As starter: 11.8 and 5.3

He is shooting over 50%
He have the Oberto´s numbers in Rebounds
With the season averages, not the last games, we only have 4 players of the spurs with more points and only Duncan with more rebounds
He´s in the first year in the league
He have better numbers than Manu´s 1st year
He´s in the All-Star Rookie team

And he is playing with T-Mac, who never pass the ball, and Yao
If he can sustitute Yao, he can Sustitute Duncan
With Duncan playing 35 minutes very game, Scola can replace him the other 13 minutes
And if he can play with Yao, he can play with Duncan, 8-10 Minutes
That sounds very good for me, if with that minutes can Score 8 and 5 is a nice sign

Bonner is taking the same money and he´s in Pop doghouse: Bad Move
I sayed, before season, he´s at least a lottery Pick value, probably not 1-5, but 6-10 yes
And we trade him, for a second round Pick ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

You can say, with that move we are under the Luxury Tax and Bla bla bla

We are talking about Basketball, not Business

The Spurs for only a pair of millions, can sign a breat player

If i can sign Lebron James for 20 millions, is a very good sign, but i must to pay Luxury

Probably we can make the same trade, with Booner and Buttler for Spanoulis and a second Draft Pick

This is exactly what the Houston Rockets were hoping for when they dealt Vasillis Spanoulis to the San Antonio Spurs for the rights to Luis Scola.

The one thing that's been missing from the Rockets' attack during the Yao Ming Era is a true power forward. They've made do with guys like Chuck Hayes, who is a hack of a defender and rebounder, but isn't much of a scorer. They experimented with Shane Battier at the four, but that's been little more than a stop-gap approach. They tried using Steve Novak at the four some, but he's much more of a perimeter player and lacks the bulk to compete with other fours. So when Daryl Morey took over the team last summer he made it his top priority to address the power forward position, and his moves are starting to pay big dividends for the Rockets.

Scola is the league's oldest rookie, having already earned some nice accolades for his accomplishments on the international scene. He's been named the top player in Europe, earned the MVP award for his play during last summer's FIBA competition, and now he's earned himself a starting spot with the Houston Rockets. It took him a while to adjust to the NBA game - especially the rules regarding what's a foul and what isn't - but he has put in the work, studied tape, and figured out how to stay on the court without picking up as many fouls. As a result, he's been a force at the four.

Head coach Rick Adelman gave him the chance to start during Tracy McGrady's most recent stretch of missed games, and Scola responded. The Rockets are 7-0 since adding him to the starting lineup and he's shooting 60% from the field in that role. Over the last four he's averaging 11.5 points and 7.8 rebounds per game with only 2.25 fouls. He's quickly becoming a player the defense has to respect, which makes the rest of the offense flow much more smoothly. Adelman was highly complimentary of his team's newly-improved passing game before they beat the Blazers on Monday night, and having that scoring threat at the four has been the difference.

As a direct result of Scola's contributions the Houston Rockets have become one of the hottest teams in the NBA. Their seven-game winning streak is second only to Detroit's (8), and they have actually moved into the playoff picture for the first time since early November. They are now 11 games over .500 - by far their best record this season - and have one of the best second-half schedules of any team in the league.

The Houston Rockets finally have a legitimate power forward who can score, rebound, and defend with the best of them. Scola's only going to get better as he becomes more and more comfortable with the NBA game, and that bodes well for the Rockets.

Great a 5, 8 or 10 games sample size and no mention of playing time. Nice ways to twist stats.
Scola's stats per minute aren't that impressive for an offensive minded player.
His defense isn't good. He has even been benched by Rick Adelman because of that. :lol
Scola getting playing time in Houston isn't a sign of him being great. Rockets frontcourt really lack of depth/quality.
Scola has an average to quite good rookie year. Nothing more, nothing less.
Scola isn't just good enough for the moment to make the Scola's trade look significantly bad.



You can say, with that move we are under the Luxury Tax and Bla bla bla

We are talking about Basketball, not Business

NBA is a business too. Most of the trades are business related before being basketball related. If you don't get that, you will never be able to do a proper analysis of trades.



Probably we can make the same trade, with Booner and Buttler for Spanoulis and a second Draft Pick

No, it is impossible because of league rules.




mannnnnnnnnnn u have to be kidding right?
please tell me that you are kidding becouse say that scola its not a winner ..man?

Scola has spend 7 years at a high level in Europe.
Result : 0 Euroleague title and 1 Spanish league title.

Scola wasn't a winner in Europe. He hasn't been able to put his team over the top and struggled in a lot of big games.

He's got a gold medal hanging on his chest.
And He was and Is an important member of that team
Even more,without Manu,Nocioni,Oberto ect,He caried the Arg National team to the Olimpics in Vegas,and He was the MVP of that tournament.
So,He's a winner.
You go cry somewhere else.

[waly.mg]

Olympics qualifyng MVP
Gold Medal in Olympics, 2nd Team
Silver Medal in World Championship

All Euroleague team

Probably not more than 10 players in NBA win more

[Bruno]

MVP titles or first team titles means that you are a "natural winner". :rolleyes

I guess that Dirk or Nash are winners.

The biggest part of Scola's career is what he has done with Tau. He win nothing significant with Tau except a Spanish title in 2002 while Scola wasn't the main player of this team.

Calling Scola a winner because of MVP awards or because of a couple of successful summer is just plain wrong.

Scola was a great player in Europe, not a winner. It's a FACT, his lack of titles are here to back up that.

Calling Scola a winner because of MVP awards or because of a couple of successful summer is just plain wrong.

Scola was a great player in Europe, not a winner. It's a FACT, his lack of titles are here to back up that.

all I have to say to that is.....................
ATHENS 2004.

[Bruno]

all I have to say to that is.....................

I guess we can say that Vince Carter is a winner because of Sidney 2000.

The bulk of a career is what you do with your team the whole year, not what you do during two weeks with your NT during the summer.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

Wow...I'm glad I didn't visit the forum for a while...I'll start talking to myself.

- Is Scola a good player? Yes.

- Will he be an All-Star? No.

- Are the Rockets championship material just because Scola is there? No.

- Is he a good addition to the Rockets? Yes, he's a smart basketball player who moves into spaces and gives their team another scoring threat.

- Could he be useful for the Spurs? Yes, specially since he is rebounding slightly better of what was expected from him.

- Would he have played the same minutes for the Spurs that he is putting in the Rockets? No, he'd probably would have to wait until late in his second year in San Antonio. But the chemistry between him and Manu could have been a nice addition.

- Did the Spurs made a bad deal? Yes, but there have been worse, just take a look at the past couple of weeks in the NBA.

- Is Scola sour or angry at the Spurs? Not at all, he understood that moving to Houston was a step foward in his career. If anything, he has stated that he is thankful to the Spurs for drafting him and then allowing him to move to a team where he could get playing time.

- Has this thead been going for way too long? Yes!

- Should this thead go on for the rest of Luis career in the NBA? No, THIS IS MADNESS!

Isn't Russia pretty good too? USA will not have a cakewalk. these olympic basketball will be must see tv

Russia win European Championship and upset Spain in Madrid but Spain team is team of chokers and also I think Russia team not as talent when other team have full team. Team like Argentina and Greece not send full team when they compete at America Championship and European Championship but also yes the Russia team very good.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

well let's see


the Spurs fucked up on Scola


they fucked up on drafting Noc



doesn't seem to likely then..........
Only TWO Argentines?
I'm pretty sure you have the knowledge of just about all the Argentines available in the US, Europe, and South America, since you love them so much.

[Obstructed_View]

he's Argentinian, they know how to play in Pop's system, not like wouldn't have 2 friends to help him out
That's why the Spurs won the title in 2006, because Oberto knew the system so well he was able to shine when Pop wasn't playing Nazr or Rasho.

Wait a sec... :rolleyes

Depends...if we win the title again this season it'll be 100% certain that Scola wasn't needed...and I'm still of the mind that the Spurs got the best deal they could...

I mean I don't really want to see Scola in Cleveland...do you? That's worse than him being on the Rockets.

Cleveland doesn't need much to be a champion...a scoring PF just might do it.

The Rockets OTOH needs a whole lot of stuff still...like for TMac to be a winner.



And if we don't win a title? Call it a hunch...but I have a feeling it won't be because we couldn't score inside....Mr. Duncan will take care of that...better than anyone in the NBA and most guys in NBA history.





As for what this did for Scola's career...Spurs are the NBA champions...if we win the title again this season...ole Luis is going to be hurting over that. It's not that easy to win an NBA title...some guys, many guys, never do.

Scola only had 6 pts and 2 rebounds last night in 11 minutes. Seems Adleman wanted to play defense against the Kings. Instead of Scola/Landry, he played Bonzi, Hayes, and Battier heavy minutes. Had an 18 pt lead going into the 4th and blew it against the Kings. Almost lost this game..I blame that on coaching! argh. Novak saved the game with 2.4 seconds to go with a game winning 3 ptr.

The most ironic thing about Scola is how perfect he would be for the Spurs right now. What's worse is if Spurs go up against Rockets in the first round and Scola goes off.

For the Spurs, Scola going to the Rockets might even be a worse deal than Pau to the Lakers.

I figured this was the place to post non-Spurs related articles.


PHILADELPHIA (AP) -The Flyers lingered on the ice after another stinging loss to hand lucky ticket holders their jerseys as part of a fan appreciation promotion.

Some of those smiling kids were about the only ones feeling good. The Flyers would gladly trade their jerseys, sticks, helmets, whatever they've got, to get back into the win column.

Alex Kovalev had a goal and two assists to lead the Montreal Canadiens to a 5-3 win over Philadelphia on Sunday night, the reeling Flyers' seventh straight loss.

''Desperation is the word right now,'' Flyers center R.J. Umberger.

The Flyers, who lost to Montreal for the second straight night, have taken a stunning freefall from division leaders to seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings. Their season-high skid has left Philadelphia only one point ahead of Boston and Buffalo (64).

Coach John Stevens held a closed-door meeting with a team losing confidence as quickly as games.

''We've got to start doing everything in our power that's going to be in the best interest of our team winning hockey games,'' he said.

Francis Bouillon scored his first goal in 75 games, and Michael Ryder and Saku Koivu also scored for Montreal. Maxim Lapierre added an empty-net goal with 1:24 remaining.

The Canadiens beat the Flyers 1-0 on Saturday night in Montreal behind Carey Price 's first NHL shutout and an Andrei Kostitsyn goal. Price followed with 34 saves on Sunday.

The Canadiens are tied with Ottawa for the most points in the Eastern Conference (73), but Ottawa has two more wins.

''Our goal was to make the playoffs and it's still our goal. Sometimes you're ahead a little bit of the curve and I think we are,'' Montreal coach Guy Carbonneau said.

Mike Richards , Braydon Coburn and Riley Cote scored goals for the Flyers. Cote scored his first NHL goal with 18.1 seconds left.

The Canadiens took advantage of a momentary mental lapse in the final seconds of the first period that left Bouillon open to skate nearly the length of the ice and finish the 2-on-1 break with his first goal since last season.

Forward Scottie Upshall drilled Kostitsyn in the corner near Montreal's net. Montreal defenseman Josh Gorges came to Kostitsyn's defense and goaded Flyers defenseman James Vandermeer into a faceoff, leaving Bouillon free to skate uncontested through center ice and score with 2 seconds left for a 2-1 lead.

Gorges smirked at Vandermeer as he skated away.

''I think if each guy is better and more aware every shift on the ice, that's the only way we're going to stop this thing,'' Vandermeer said. ''If I'm a little more aware where the puck is, if I'm back, maybe it slows the play up a little bit.''

A play like that seemed to sum up all that's gone wrong for the Flyers.

''Everyone stopped. They thought it was going to be a fight,'' Stevens said. ''That's just a killer. You can't stop playing.''

Carbonneau was surprised the Flyers would try and fight instead of defend.

''They completely forgot the play to try to engage in short fighting,'' he said ''They play us enough to know that we're not trying to engage in anything. We're just trying to play the game.''

Coburn, who returned after missing four games with a ruptured artery in his buttocks, scored his fifth goal only 34 seconds into the second that tied the score. It was the first even-strength goal the Flyers scored against Montreal this season.

The celebration was short lived.

Ryder punched in the puck off a rebound for his ninth goal only 1:41 later for a 3-2 lead. Then Montreal capitalized on a two-man advantage when Koivu hooked the puck around a sprawled Antero Niittymaki for his 11th goal.

Those were enough goals to send Montreal to its third straight win overall and a season sweep (4-0) off the Flyers.

There were plenty of Montreal fans in the crowd, so when Kovalev scored his 27th goal off a pass from Tomas Plekanec from behind the net, pockets of the upper deck broke into cheers and chants of ''Go Habs Go!''

The Flyers tied the score at 1 midway though the first on Richards' 23rd goal. With the Flyers short-handed, Richards faked a pass from the circle, then put his stick down and slapped one past Price.

Notes: The Flyers played without RW Steve Downie (concussion), D Derian Hatcher (knee) and RW Joffrey Lupul (sprained ankle). ... The Flyers have lost six straight overall to Montreal. Their last win against the Canadiens came on Nov. 25, 2006.

I'd much rather have Scola than Matt Bonner at the same price. Dumb, dumb, dumb. But alright - we don't need him.

[whottt]

Bonner is here because he can replace Robert Horry(in theory) as a perimeter shooting big. That's why...

When Bonner was starting he put up nice numbers remember? 25 and 17...

It's just that simple. And Scola wouldn't be getting the minutes here he is in Houston...

Houston had Chuck Hayes as their starting PF...
The Spurs have a guy named Tim Duncan.

Duncan plays more minutes at the Center spot tham PF at his age.
Scola Plays along Yao Ming,and could've done the same with TD.
Sorry to brake it down to you like that,but He could've been the perfect feet for the spurs frontline.
If you need a big shooting 3s,you get a long 3, not a guy like Matt Fucking Bonner,in my book Robert Horry is more a long 3 tham a PF.

Well, if Spurs management could do it again. I guarantee that Bonner would be out riding the pine for some other NBA team and Scola would be backing up Duncan or sharing some time at SF. Actually Scola and Duncan would be better than Oberto/Duncan or Elson/Duncan. Cause both Oberto and Elson suck.

So tell me Scolafans...do you get excited everytime the Rockets win? You do don't you? Probably even giggle a little bit as you savor the win...Scum. Complete Scum.
to be honest... i don;t get exited when the rockets win because i hate almost all the roster BUT Luifa... so... i just like him doing good... they may not make the playoffs this year but if they do... he can contribute to knock out the #1 seed not named the Spurs

He rate the 7 number rookie. Let say if he 7 number draft pick in NBA draft, then this 7 number draft pick worth more than Matt Bonner yes?

[objective]

even having to deal with adjusting to the NBA as a rookie, Scola at this point has more double doubles than Oberto.

[robbie380]

Congrats on beating the worst team in the NBA...


Second time's the charm I guess :tu


you guys did great defeating the t-wolves in closing seconds!! GJ! :clap :clap

[ChumpDumper]

you guys did great defeating the t-wolves in closing seconds!! GJ! :clap :clapWe aren't celebrating that.

[2centsworth]

ok, haven't participated in this thread in months, but has anything changed? Scola for nothing still the worse trade ever?

[whottt]

even having to deal with adjusting to the NBA as a rookie, Scola at this point has more double doubles than Oberto.


He doesn't play with Tim, for the Spurs, and isn't coached by Pop....he wouldn't be getting the minutes, rebounds, or points if he was on this team...just like Oberto.


Just like David Robinson
Just like Nazr
Just like Horry
Just like Rasho

Just like every other bigman...all their numbers went down, as did their minutes.

[ArgSpursFan.]

He doesn't play with Tim, for the Spurs, and isn't coached by Pop....he wouldn't be getting the minutes, rebounds, or points if he was on this team...just like Oberto.

.

He actually gets about the same minutes as Fabricio does with the Spurs,+Yao takes about the same shots or more p/game tham Duncan,and on top of that T-mac is on the same fucking team.
WTF Wottt????????
now,you're are officially out of arguments dude.

False...Scola's been getting more minutes since starting. And he's not playing with any rebounder as good as Duncan. He's also not on a team with 3 dominant scorers. He is a better scorer than Oberto...that was obvious in Europe. That's the only thing he does better than Oberto..and that's why he wouldn't be getting Oberto's minutes here.

[remingtonbo2001]

So...ummm...yeah...

Why is this thread still here? Can I get a statement from management?

[whottt]

No...this thread is going to continue until the Scolasuckers stfu and realize what fools they have made of themselves by acting like a fucking scrub is Wilt Chamberlain.

[remingtonbo2001]

No...this thread is going to continue until the Scolasuckers stfu and realize what fools they have made of themselves by acting like a fucking scrub is Wilt Chamberlain.

:lol

Okay, I can reason with that.

Can we at least come to a compromise and go ahead and stick it up top in the NBA forum. Or maybe move it to SR.

8 point and 9 rebounds?


Those are incredible numbers....do you realize that? Do you realize how incredible it is that Luis Scola tallied 8 fucking points and 9 fucking rebounds?


Has anyone ever pulled that off before?

In this history of the NBA?


8 points and 9 rebounds?



IF Scola isn't in the HOF it's a sin.



8 points
9 rebounds


Incredible.


We may never see that in the NBA again...


8 points
9 rebounds


I am fucking speechless...


I tell you...you Scola fans...you know talent when you see it.

[whottt]

I'll bet even Jackie Butler never put up 8 points and 9 rebounds in a game...


8 points...9 rebounds...holy shit that's brilliant.

[Indazone]

dumbass..Scola did well cause T-Mac went off for 32 pts and Yao had 28. That's 60 pts right there. Scola getting 8 pts and 9 boards is good.

[whottt]

Hey man...all you had to do was say Scola had 8 points...9 rebounds. Those incomparable numbers speak for themselves.

How can you argue with 8 points and 9 rebounds?


Fire Pop.



I'll be even Mengke Bateer never had 8 points and 9 rebounds in a game.



8 points
9 rebounds


Thanks for taking the time post those incredible numbers...:tu

Francisco Elson couldn't have done that...

And his 8 and 9 was against an all star PF.

Do you live with your head stuck in the sand?

No...but you live with your head up Scola's ass.

He's 27 years old....about 28.

Big fucking deal...so is Jacque Vaughn...you want me coming over to your forum and posting his nightly stats? Dick...

:lmao

wottt,along many others,aint no legend, in this thread he's been owned since day one,and He's getting owned again and again as the time goes by and Scola keeps balling and getting better.


False....I thought Scola would start off decent, due to the fact that he's nearly 30 years old...I didn't expect him to suck worse and longer than the 19 year old rookies.

I figured he'd start out strong because he well into his twenties and about as polished he's going to get...


Then I figured he'd start sucking around February....I had no clue he was going to suck as long, as hard, and as badly as he did for the first 2 months of the season.



So basically my whole time table for him has been pushed back 2 months due to the fact that he sucked much worse than I thought he was going to for the first 2 months of the season....instead of February...he's going to start sucking hard in April.


Go read my first post in this thread...then again, read what I prdeicted Scola would do this season statistically...and you'll see I am not surprised by his positives whatsoever at this point...it's how bad he sucked for the first 2 months that was the surprise.


But anyway...he turns 28 years old next month....he's as good as he's going to get...and soon the league will start catching up to him.

This is probably the peak of Scola's career right now...hell I am not even taking into account the extended NBA schedule that's going to catch up to him soon.



Bottom line...you're excited about a guy who put up 8 points and 9 rebounds...and is averaging 8 and 5.....in his prime.



And he's not even as good as the 19 year old rookies.


Plus he choked like a bitch in Eurpope...and he's on a team whose best player is a notorious choker...as is their head coach.


You think adjusting is something only Scola can do? You're wrong...the NBA adjusts too...and the first thing they adjust to is physical limitations.

[ArgSpursFan.]

He didn't suck in the first two moths,I mean Francisco Elson Sucks,Scola couldn't stay out of foul troubles in his first 15/20 games,that's why He wasn't getting the minutes.
Now that He figured it out He can stay on the floor and contribute.
Let face it,every true spurs fan,would love to see a guy like Scola help up TD in the paint,something that Elson,Bonner or even Horry at this stage on his career are not doing right now.
Hopefully,Thomas can be a answer for our frontline,but Scola,He could've been the perfect feet for this team's scoreless frontline(outside Duncan)

[whottt]

ArgScolaSuck...

You do realize that the Spurs had this guy in their system for 5 years....do you really think they don't know his game inside and out? Do you really think they just stupidly gave him away?


Do you think you've seen him play more game than they have?



The Spurs don't do that with players that were in their system for 5 freaking years dude...


They were winning titles before you even knew what a fucking basketball was...


You aren't smarter than they are...


And go read my first post in this thread...I said he was going to start out good and start sucking around February...he started out sucking....the reasons I said he was going to start sucking in February have not been brought to bear yet...stay tuned...and be sure to show up this time around when it happens.

Enjoy the golden age of Scola while it lasts.

[ArgSpursFan.]

If you ask me,I really think the understimated Scola,honestly.
I really think that The spurs FO never though Scola was gonna be this good since day one in the NBA.They knew He had talent,But they though He wasn't talented enough to take the spurs to the next level,that's why they resigned Bonner instead and kept Elson.
BTW,this aint the golden age of Scola,This is just the begining dude.
And I called it baby, long ago.

[DaDakota]

Woah, the Spurs never had this guy "in their system" They held his draft rights.

And whenver Scola's ability to buy out his Euro contract became available the Spurs had no money or no room to sign him.

They did Scola a favor by letting him come to the NBA.....and it allowed the Spurs to get under the lux tax.

If you think Scola can't play, then you are sadly mistaken, the Rockets do not need him to be dominant, just to play a role, and he plays it SOOOO much better.

They are undefeated with him in the starting lineup at the PF spot....

11 and 0......and have beaten the Spurs, The Hornets, The Warriors, and the Cavs twice during that time.

The Rockets are playing GREAT because of Scola, he makes teams have to play honest and opens it up for Yao and Tmac....

I believe this is a case that was good for both Houston and San Antonio.....and Luis....

I have to says can be bad thing for Spurs but good for Rocket. Billy has notice Rocket team under Adelman and how he handle rookie players and also player from Euroleague Scola who same player that Billy outplay in Euroleague playoff when Billy just Euroleague rookie. He very much watch close how Adelman handle everything just like Peja advise him. Rocket team tell him before he demand leave that he still consider the player they want play 24 minute as 6 man back up Alston and T-Mac. He will follow how Spur and Rocket does in playoff.

I still think he should go Spurs I like see me two favorite player him and Manu together.

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

11 straight wins for the team we gave Scola to, including blowing out the Hornets at NO

so when pop said the trade made him wanted to spit did it mean he thought scola sucked? obviously the coach thought he had talent...i guess you know more than pop.

[whottt]

Woah, the Spurs never had this guy "in their system" They held his draft rights.

Having his rights means he was in their system...their property. And if you don't the Spurs scouted him extrensively during the 5 years he was their property before deciding what do to with him...you are a moron.





And whenver Scola's ability to buy out his Euro contract became available the Spurs had no money or no room to sign him.


They had the money to sign him...they just didn't.




They did Scola a favor by letting him come to the NBA.....and it allowed the Spurs to get under the lux tax.

The Spurs could have signed Scola instead of others...and then the tax would not have been a problem, but they figured getting rid of Jackie Butler was worth it...



If you think Scola can't play, then you are sadly mistaken, the Rockets do not need him to be dominant, just to play a role, and he plays it SOOOO much better.

Fine...he's a role player...so stop posting his nightly stats that fucking are equalled by 50 to 60 players nightly as if they are signifigant...because it makes you fucking stupid when you make a big deal about it.









They are undefeated with him in the starting lineup at the PF spot....

No they aren't...

No they haven't damn dude...you don't have a fucking clue what you are talking about.





The Rockets are playing GREAT because of Scola, he makes teams have to play honest and opens it up for Yao and Tmac....


Rockets were a playoff team last year and when he was getting minutes earlier they couldn't buy a fucking win...


I know...you weren't around when he was sucking...like every other POS Scola/RocketFan in this thread.


Frontrunning..gutless...trash.






I believe this is a case that was good for both Houston and San Antonio.....and Luis....

And I think the Spurs fucked Scola's career by ensuring he won't be winning a title anytime soon...


TMAC :lmao


...bad for Scola.

Ooohhhh! now I understand .

So you're a Houston Fan? :lmao

[whottt]

Oberto had 8 rebounds against that same AS PF...by halftime.


He's outscoring(1-7 from the field) and outrebounding(4) that same AS PF as well...


What do you have to say now you Scola sucking fucks?

Where's his motherfucking parade?

I want to see 50 posts about it. I want to hear you guys saying what a genius Pop is...how smart the Spurs are...

C'mon frontrunning trash...where is your shit now?




Stupid fucks.

[whottt]

:lmao He had the exact same numbers, 8 points 9 rebounds, only he did it in an actual game and not garbage time stat padding like Scola. And he actually kicked West's ass defensively. Plus he shot better from the field...no misses, while Scola missed an assload of shots.


C'mon...make a big deal about Oberto motherfuckers...do it. Follow his stats nightly, jack off to his boxscores like you do Scola's...and Oberto does it for the NBA Champions.



Make a big deal about him...let's hear his case for being one of the fifty greatest players in history like we have to hear about fucking Scola(when he has a mediocre game).

[robbie380]

wow whottttttttttt you've convinced me. it wasn't how well you stated your argument that convinced me but how dramatically you said it. excellent job!! :elephant :downspin: :clap :elephant :madrun

[whottt]

Seriously though...


Isn't it cool how Luis Scola and Fabricio Oberto are the only two players in NBA history to ever put up 8 points and 9 rebounds against an AS PF?

Even more ironic it was the same AS PF.

Not only that but they are both Argentines.

We should have a dual Jersey Retirement or something.




8 points
9 rebounds
AS PF

Just incredible...we've never seen anything like this before, we may never see something like this again...but we saw it two nights in a row.



8points

Just. Fucking. Incredible.

Just a couple of questions. 1. Why is there a 47-page thread about Luis Scola of all players? 2. Why does whottt hate Luis Scola so much?



You answered the question before you even asked it.

[O.J. Mayonnaise]

That answers my second question....

[whottt]

Other reasons:

Scola was an asshole the night he was drafted.
He was an asshole during the Olympics.
He was an asshole during negotiation.
He was an asshole about his self inflicted buyout.

And his fans don't show up when he plays badly...and when he plays good they don't care if the Rockets lose.


He's an asshole.
He attracts a low character(and frankly stupid) type of fan that aren't really loyal to the Spurs.
He's over-rated.

Oh...he's a choker too.

[O.J. Mayonnaise]

What did he do, and why is there a huge thread about him? I mean, he's a fairly good NBA player along the lines of, say, Drew Gooden. The Rockets did start winning when they put him in the starting lineup, but he replaced Chuck Hayes, who might be the worst offensive player in the NBA. Why all the fuss? Why isn't there a 47 page thread for every player who was once drafted by the Spurs but now plays for another team.

Because this trade really hurts, giving up a player who could contribute now to a division rival, i am pissed, especially when the rockets won 11 games in a row since he started ouch.

lol do you just make stuff up in your head and run with it? i guess whatever makes you happy.

[whottt]

So like I was saying...Scola attracts a low character and stupid breed of fan...case in point all these stupid Rockets Trolls that swing from Scola's nuts.


They are soooooo fucking stupid to make such a big deal about Scola...


And you know what's really funny?


The Rockets had the guy that scared the living shit out of Spurfan..and it's not Scola, it's not TMac, it's not Yao...


It was Bonzi fucking Wells...and they just traded him.


So while these idiots act like they are going to get an O'brien trophy for their pissant little winning streak and act like Scola is a HOF'er...they just stupidly traded away the key to beating us.


Now?

The only curious thing going on with the Rockets and the post season is how many games will it take Adelman to turn their entire fanbase into ref whiners like he did the Kings...

I'm saying one playoff series...max.

No...I don't mean the Rockets usual 1 playoff series and out...I mean even if they win he'll do it.


Anyway...


The sooner the Rockets get to choking, which is what the city of Houston does best...the sooner all these stupid turds will be flushed...and hopefully all the Scolafans masquerading as Spurfans will get flushed with them...because really....that's the best thing that can happen to a turd...is for it to get flushed.

[robbie380]

if you think we make a big deal out of scola you should see what we think about carl landry.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HIbzmJeB9U

he is putting up scola's numbers in only 15 mpg.

[whottt]

Carl Landry is a legitimate rookie, who is putting up impressive numbers in limited minutes...not a 28 year old who is not as good of a player as half the 19 year olds in the league this year.

i have never seen a greater performance in the history of life. scola was amazing. whottttttttttttttttttttttttt....don't you agree? it was like watching jesus christ play basketball. ....and JC can ball. :elephant :elephant :downspin: :ihit :clap

[ducks]

man what will scola fans say when kurt pulls these kind of numbers against dallas on thursday

[rayweb_on]

hey ...you scola haters u are rigth that numbers are so poor ..i mean ridiculous an look more poor and ridiculous when you look the numbers of booner...

[whottt]

As a starter:

Matt Bonner: 13ppg
Luis Scola: 11ppg

Matt Bonner: 8rbg
Luis Scola: 6rbg


So like I was saying...pretty stupid...

[rayweb_on]

so why booner isnt staring ...dumb ass ..you may say he has a big role coming from the bench right? ...becouse that numbers are too damm good ...pretty stupid

[anakha]

so why booner isnt staring ...dumb ass ..you may say he has a big role coming from the bench right? ...becouse that numbers are too damm good ...pretty stupid

:lmao :lmao :lmao

So first, you argue that numbers show how much Scola is better than Bonner, than after getting numbers thrown at your face, you say numbers don't matter?

Good Lord, your take is even worse than the average Scola fan's.

[whottt]

so why booner isnt staring ...dumb ass

1. Because the Spurs are a better and deeper team than the Rockets.
2. Because he doesn't play defense very good(and neither does Scola).




..you may say he has a big role coming from the bench right? ...becouse that numbers are too damm good ...pretty stupid


I don't know what makes you think Scola would be pulling major minutes here...was Beno?


That's like saying Beno is better than Damon Stoudamire because he starts in Sacremento...he wouldn't have been starting here. In fact he wouldn't have even been in the rotation in here....in fact he wasn't.


The less stupid you get as you learn about basketball the more what I say will make sense, and the stupider you'll realize you were right now...

Congrats, you have getting smarter to look forward to in your future :tu

[2centsworth]

It's obvious Scola is a pretty good rookie, and is having a decent rookie season. I think Manu only average 10 or so points his rookie season. He may not be the greatest, but he's certainly worth more than a protected second round pick and $3 million dollars.

He attracts a low character(and frankly stupid) type of fan that aren't really loyal to the Spurs.
He's over-rated.

Oh...he's a choker too.

He is an asshole and you spend time posting about him? :rolleyes
Freud would help you a little :reading

Scola played a solid game last night,7/11 from the field and 3 asists. Not a good reboundind game,only 4 boards.
Now,Is Scola Helping the Rockets this season???
Of course
Are the Rockets a better team tham last year with Scola Starting as their PF???
Hell,yeah.

[whottt]

:lol @RocketFans hanging out on a Spurs forum pretending to be Spurs fans and telling others they need a shrink...


And don't say you aren't RocketFans...after all, they have an Argie. And that's the it works with you guys.


I know but ya'll like the Spurs, because they have the Argie with championships...ahh integrity, but we all know how quickly that rooting interest will change.



Ya'll aren't NBA Fans who enjoy teams winning championships...ya'll are Argentines who enjoy Argentines winning championships in the NBA, with whoever...the team is just incidental.


Anyway...in closing..

Luis Scola has started 13 games.

Matt Bonner has started 3...he put up 25 and 17?

Has Scola?

Oh I know...Scola's a rookie, even though he's....older than Matt Bonner.




And it's funny how we can just look back earlier in this thread and see how you guys were complaining when Scola wasn't getting played...

:lmao and ya'll think that wouldn't have happened here. With Pop.. :lmao


And when that same thing you guys railed against earlier when Scola wasn't getting minutes, happens to Matt Bonner, it's because he sucks.... :lol

It really is hilarious.


I know...but we need him to win a championship...even though, as you guys are so fond of saying, he's a rookie who doesn't know how to play that well in the NBA.


You guys are funny...but Argie Nationalism is just a tad scary if you want to know the truth about it.

[ArgSpursFan.]

First of all,I aint a Rockets fan,I'm just not a blind homer like you son.
Secondly: Matt Bonner's numbers in 3 games don't reflect if the guy is better of worse tham Scola.Now if you watch them play,you can easily tell that Scola is wayyyy better tham Bonner.
Scola numbers this season don't really reflect what the guy is capable to do in the NBA,coze He's adjusting to NEW RULES!!!!!something that Bonner already did in his roockie season.

Says the 'Spurs fan' who talks about Scola and the Rockets 99 times out of a hundred.

I already looked back on your post history - hard to take you seriously as a 'Spurs fan' when all you've pratically posted about in the past months is about Scola and the Rockets.

Just change your team to the Rockets and start slobbering over Scola in the NBA forum already.

Nope, just talk about the Spurs, not some player who is not a Spur.

Or is that too difficult for you, with Scola's knob in your mouth?

I do talk about the Spurs,and I also talk about players who play for the spurs in the present,or used to be spurs players,like Malik,Hedo,SJax,Scola,Berry Etc.
Now,if you don't like me talking about Scola,and posting on the official Scola thread,which is on the spurs forum,them look somewhere else body.

One single post talking about wanting Hedo Turkoglu, Stephen Jackson and Devin Brown back on the team does not count.

And from what I see, 4 out of every 5 of your posts are Scola-related. Yup, you've really convinced me. :rolleyes

[spurms]

Anyone who thinks scola is good is not a spursfan period. :rolleyes

[whottt]

Scola wouldn't even't be pulling minutes in this rotation if he were on the team now...he'd definitely be behind Thomas, Horry and Oberto....as he is by far the worst defender of the 3...

Time to..shut up about it...and hope Landy doesn't beat him out by seasons end...the only reason he hasn't yet is that he lacks Scola's experience.

[spurms]

yes and scola did not make houston the second best defensive team and the best rebounding team in the NBA.

Why Folks Picked the Houston Rockets


I think this is why people picked the Houston Rockets as a title contender last fall.

By this, I mean: Twelve straight victories, including a 20-point win over New Orleans a few days ago. The Rockets beat Chicago on Sunday, with Tracy McGrady scoring 24 points on 13 FGAs and adding 8 assists, several of those to... improbable Rookie of the Year contender Luis Scola, who scored 17 and has seven double-digit scoring nights in his last nine games.

It took a while, but Houston's stew is really coming together. The defense is statistically #2 in the league -- a Rick Adelman team, with the #2 defense! The offense, again, is coming along. After three months with nothing but awful emitting from the point guard position, Rafer Alston's providing stability. The key: He's not having to shoot much, as Scola soaks up a lot more offense than old power forwards Chuck Hayes and Juwan Howard did. This is precisely why so many of us thought Scola acquisition was huge -- he instantly became the needed third option between Yao Ming and McGrady necessary to keep the shots falling when Options #1 and #1a were unavailable.

Houston should cool off at some point, and we're seemingly always one bounce away from a protracted McGrady injury. But this offense should only get smoother with time. If Adelman (and Shane Battier) can keep the defensive standards high, we once again have a very dangerous team come April and May.

[whottt]

yes and scola did not make houston the second best defensive team .


You're absolutely right, he didn't.

[whottt]

so when pop said the trade made him wanted to spit did it mean he thought scola sucked? obviously the coach thought he had talent...i guess you know more than pop.


I don't know...why don't you go ask Pop why he okayed the trade...you do know he's a lot more than just a coach don't you?

He has final say on all trades...


Could be psychology...

[Indazone]

psychology? :baby :lmao

[whottt]

psychology? :baby :lmao


Yeah psychology...I mean what is to be gained by saying Scola is a turd with stupid fans and I'm glad I traded him...

Even if it is true.


Pop was complimentary of Ron Mercer too...

Why give the player extra motivation for when he plays against you?

[Trainwreck2100]

Now that Yao's done for the season Scola's gonna tear up the opp... :lol :lol
