The Official Scola Thread

[whottt]

Now is when Scola starts getting his asskicked...I give the NBA a month to have his asss figured out and wishing he'd stayed in Spain.

He won´t be the only one. Hayes, Landry, Deke, Scola....all of them will get their asses kicked.

[whottt]

Those other guys don't have 50 page threads in this forum...

The Scola suckers are about to get a nice big glass of STFU!

[Trainwreck2100]

it's not 50 pages

[MB20]

[Indazone]

Scola is now gonna get about 30 min/game and so will Landry. Deke about 10 min.

This thread is getting shut down?


:clap

[Indazone]

Shut down? This is where according to Whott, us Scola Nuthuggers are about to see what he can really do. Build the thread! A monument to the Spurs front office! lol.

What did he do? Did I miss it already?

Oh, you mean Scola built a thread.

Wow, 3 million per year is pricey for a thread builder. I'd would've done it for much less.

And I thought the government wasted money....

[ChumpDumper]

Can you imagine Jackie Butler still on this team?

[spurms]

*Chills* What if Scola start putting up allstar numbers. The horror... :ihit

[ChumpDumper]

He hasn't already?

[whottt]

He hasn't already?



You must have missed him becoming the first player in history to total 8 points and 9 rebounds in a game.

[rayweb_on]

You must have missed him becoming the first player in history to total 8 points and 9 rebounds in a game.
why you allways point his 8 points and 9 rebounds ..is your best argument vs him ..and you allways point the 25 points 17 rebounds of boner ..what kind of troll you are?
overall scola is rigth now better as rookie than boner even with his amazing game jajaja and his 2 years and a half of expirience
and guess what the spurs pay him 3 millions too....and they alos need to get ride of barry to get thomas ..yeah boner contract seems to be perfect and that scola trade its also perfect too..im a spurs fan but im not blind to see the reality...
i like how scola plays and i will root for him allways except wehn he plays vs the spurs

[whottt]

why you allways point his 8 points and 9 rebounds ..is your best argument vs him ..and you allways point the 25 points 17 rebounds of boner ..what kind of troll you are?

Because 25 and 17 > 8 and 9

I know...it's not to Scola fans...but still...I have mathematics on my side.

...
so if you havs mathematics ...scola has 5 games with 20+ points and by the way how many times boner has done that in this year dude?


Minutes matter


you know you have to eran minutes and he is doing it
...



And I never doubted that for a second...

and what i dont get ..if all the scola fans are so stupid why you still here posting with theM?

Maybe so...but if I have no life, then what does that say about asshats that post about Scola on a Spursforum...


Shouldn't you be on a Rockets forum where you belong? With other Scola lovers?


And I am going to win this thread because if I don't the stupid will have won.



PS: Scola would haven't earned as many minutes here...


His minutes are about to go up...you think it's going to be because he earned them? Did Matt Bonner earn the start when he put up that 25 and 17?

You have the basketball mind of a first grader.

i can say that he is good and still be a spurs fan...its like try to said that kobe is not that good ..he is
and no one can refuse that ..you idiot

[whottt]

No...you aren't a real Spurfan...Real Spurfans would not become Rocketsfans because of one player...you're an Argie fan is what you are.

[whottt]

Bonner was an integrated part of our championship team...Scola was a guy that would have spent at least a year learning the NBA(as you guys are so fond of bringing up every time he sucks). On top of that...Bonner can stretch the defense(in theory) with his 3 shot...Scola can't.


So that meant dumping Horry and his 7 rings.
or Oberto, the starter on our championship team.
Or Elson, the back up on our championship team.



Don't say you're a real a Spurfan...you are butthurt over this because fucking Scola is an Argentine and you are lying if you say otherwise...

So jejejeje about that.

[tp2021]

all i know is, its time for scola to step up. the rockets need him.
lets see what he's really all about.

You're right. Bonner spreads the floor from his perch on the bench. The more the other players play, the more the floor spreads. You know, I bet you can spread Bonner's buttcheeks and pull the splinters out of it.

[vander]

rockets would be up 30 if they had Bonner instead of Scola.
once we lose all our aged vets next year and Bonner gets his minutes back he'll show us all

I am reading and reading ...

1. Nothing is convincing me that adopting your point of view and aggressiveness will make me a better Spurfans ...

2. Mostly of us (sorry if including me affects your sensibility) have good sense of humor.

3. Some of us (not me) have a good BB IQ and some are very good analysts and also great in Stats.

4. Some of us have favorite players.

5. Some of us don't like Spurs' decissions, anyhow we are still here.

Finally, your hating about this thread are becoming clasic and I started to like :p:

This is a classic thread, even the Scola haters will miss it if the mods erase it :p:

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

another solid game by Scola, but as usual Boner is out shining him every game

[ChumpDumper]

Is this thread going to make him a Spur?

[anakha]

Scola was feeling jealous with all the attention I've been giving Kurt Thomas lately, so I'm back to show him some love.

Slurp, slurp, slurp.

[ArgSpursFan.]

Is this thread going to make him a Spur?

Nope,But it will make you learn not to talk shit about what you don't know.
I hope you and the others have learned yor lesson.

[ChumpDumper]

Learn what? He's playing well within the predictions both whottt and I provided.

Seems like we know quite a bit.

[ArgSpursFan.]

Seems like we know quite a bit of shit

fixed.

BTW,all I remember you and wottt saying about Scola was:too slow for the NBA, no Defense, Poor rebounding,and that he would bitch about playing time.
All of them,WRONG.
I could name them all,but I aint have time right now.
I'll do it later though.

[ChumpDumper]

Actually, in your jingoistic rage you overlooked quite a few important things we said about Scola.

It's not a problem -- it's simply impossible for you to be unbiased about any of this.

OH,you mean what you said when you compared him with mediocres eurolegue players or Scrubs in the NBA?????
OK,I get it now ignorant.
thanks for reminding me.

[ChumpDumper]

OH,you mean what you said when you compared him with mediocres eurolegue players or Scrubs in the NBA?????No, when I predicted he would have the same kind of impact as a respected and effective role player who was a 12-year vet.

You are too stupid to remember that because you are a complete dumbass.

[remingtonbo2001]

We should have an Official Brent Barry thread.

I second the motion, to be honest I'd love to had the Malik Rose in that time, I really appreciate that guy.

Whottt, I have a question. Why are you still continuing this argument? I agree with you on this issue, but, is it really worth continuing this long?

[remingtonbo2001]

Maybe if Rocket get playoff without Yao Scola will be rookie of year?

[remingtonbo2001]

Oh Kill Bill Pana has joined the discussion. You should start posting your V-SPAN material here, in the Scola thread. I think many here would find it interesting.

[remingtonbo2001]

We should have a poll.

Which is more useful to this forum?

The Official Scola thread

OR

Kill Bill Pana's V-Span updates.

I'd vote for the latter.

[Indazone]

I second the motion, to be honest I'd love to had the Malik Rose in that time, I really appreciate that guy.

Without Yao and with Scola's minutes approaching 30-35 min/game and Landry the same, both players are capable of double double's night in and night out. It may even be possible to see Scola or Landry develop into a 20-10 type player. Landry has more upside I think. It'll be hard to keep the guy over the summer. He has the highest PER of all rookies this year.

Scola fans are slacking.

Tonights game log nearly beat out the # of posts in this thread in only a couple of hours.

I expected more from you guys.

Then again, I had high expectations for Luis and look how he turned out.

Fuck Scola.

[waly.mg]

How many bull shits i must to read¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

Scola now is a Starter, 9 Points and 5.5 Rebounds in less than 60 games and he´s 27

Oberto is a 5.5 Points and rebounds player and he´s 32
Many people select Bonner over Scola, and he´s a now in the doghouse
Many other select Elson and he´s in Seattle
Finally he´s a a player with aprox the same salary

[manufor3]

scola is a good player. nuff said.

[robbie380]

another good game from scola. 15 pts 5 rebs 5 steals on 6/8 from the field and 3/4 from the line.

more importantly our power forward combo was great. landry was 5/5 from the field and 5/5 from the line with 3 rebs. i swear it always feels like the guy gets more rebounds than he actually gets. maybe it's because he is averaging 2.5 offensive boards in only 15 mpg. who cares....the guy is awesome to watch.

[Hemotivo]

Memphis sucks

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

I tell you before Navarro very overrate player and board attacks me for say this. Some Amerikan have very confuse idea about think some Euro player so good and some other so bad when usual they have everything backward.

Like Scola good player some say he "bad" Navarro not very good player and they say he "good".

I see so many Rocket fan say Navarro good player and Spanoulis "suck". You realize in Europe or in FIBA tournament Spanoulis make Navarro look like high school player before when play against each other?

[Obstructed_View]

I see so many Rocket fan say Navarro good player and Spanoulis "suck". You realize in Europe or in FIBA tournament Spanoulis make Navarro look like high school player before when play against each other?
Yet Spanoulis can't play in NBA because mommy not there. Navarro >>>> VSpan.

[xcomp]

That may be. But Navarro at least has been weaned from his mother's breast milk, so he can actually survive in the NBA.

[whottt]

For the second time all season Scola has a game that makes his asshat fans not look like idiots for supporting him...


2 games out of 60 aint bad I guess.


Who knows, he might even have better numbers tonight than Bonner put up in one of his 3 starts this season...


25 and 17...


If he does that then maybe you guys can claim he's better than Matt Bonner and not look like fools for doing it.


Or course...that still doesn't mean he'd have done it here, like Bonner did...just ask Beno Udrih.

[picnroll]

Bonner may not be the guy you want to point to when you're comparing busts

[whottt]

Why? If they are going to make a big deal about his game tonight I am going to make a big deal about Bonner's 25 and 17 performance...


You don't understand...these tools come in here and make a big deal if Scola scores 8 fucking points when he is a fucking starter.

Even Bruce Bowen fans don't make a big deal when he scores 8 fucking points....and he is a non offensive player.



Now that Scola has actually had a good game for only the second time all season...these asshats are going to be on the verge of delirium. I'm just keeping it real.

[picnroll]

Bonner has had three 15+ games this year. Scola has had 10. Spurs will probably be jettisoning Splitter or Mahinmi next year just to move Bonner's ass.

[whottt]

18 and 14 for Scola tonight...at last, a decent game...


Not as good as Bonner's 25 and 17 game but at least it's not an 8 point game that some idiot is making a big deal about.



Go ahead Scola fans...you have my permission to make a big deal out of this game without being ridiculed for your stupidity...

[whottt]

Bonner has had three 15+ games this year. Scola has had 10. Spurs will probably be jettisoning Splitter or Mahinmi next year just to move Bonner's ass.

Minutes matter...


IF Wilt Chamberlain played Bonner's minutes he'd have never scored a hundred points.

[BonnerDynasty]

Scola would have been nice when the Spurs go into these scoring droughts. I'd say Scola would probably be nicer to have than Bonner.

Still don't thnk Bonner has gotten a chance to really prove himself yet though.

[whottt]

Interestingly enough....Scola doesn't get on the floor in the fourth quarter, even with Yao injured....and the rookie Landry does. Doesn't bode well for Scola's longterm starting prospects.

[picnroll]

Minutes matter...

Playing like crap = no minutes.

Scola, Landry or Hayes would all be keeping Bonner's sorry ass parked on the bench if they played for the Spurs.

[whottt]

Scola would have been nice when the Spurs go into these scoring droughts. I'd say Scola would probably be nicer to have than Bonner.


They don't have Bonner to prevent scoring droughts...they have Manu, Barry, Parker, Duncan, and Finley to prevent those...

They have Bonner to stand out at 3 line(as a big) and stretch the defense to make Duncan's job easier.

So unless Luis starts hitting threes...

[Hemotivo]

Landry needs ptime

[whottt]

Playing like crap = no minutes.

No minutes can also = playing like crap

Injuries increase minutes...so does a lack of depth.

Problem is Bonner sucks so bad at everything that he can't stay on the floor. He'll Scola's twice the defender and five times the rebounder Bonner is. Even his three point shooting is no great shakes this year. Spurs will be rying to unload him until his contract's up. I hope they don't dump any talent in the process. Scola unlike Bonner could actually be traded for talent.

If the Spurs had the Rockets lack of depth Bonner would be playing more minutes.

Sin,

His starts earlier this season when Duncan and Horry were injured.

[picnroll]

Nope. He'd be behind Scola, Lanndry and Hayes on the Rockets or the Spurs. Rockets don't need lame assed three point shooters. Horry is sucking hind tit this year and Bonner still can't get off the bench.

Like I said above Bonner's sorry ass can't even beat out Horry who can't hi the floor from three point land this year. how pathetic is that?

If it's so easy to do how come Scola hasn't done it?


I know...because he doesn't get as many minutes and starts as Bonner does...right?

Oh wait, even better, it's because the Rockets are deeper than the Spurs...right?

whottt cant u just admit that Scola is a damn good player? (or maybe u did, since i dont wanna go throught 1300+ posts in this thread)

btw tonight Scola's stat is impressive because he was going up against DPOY Camby, KMart, and Carmelo.

[whottt]

whottt cant u just admit that Scola is a damn good player? (or maybe u did, since i dont wanna go throught 1300+ posts in this thread)

I said he had a good game...but you guys make a big deal about 8 and 9 games or 14 and 2 games....it's just for a starter those are not that great. It is typical.

I said he had a good game tonight....if you guys only made a big deal about games like tonight, this thread would be 3 pages long. It's not...it's 50 pages long.

[Mr. Body]

whottt is a retard

:wakeup

[ArgSpursFan.]

ok now, Since Wottt started covering his ass in this thread just after the game finished last night,and them He started talking about Bonners career night in his 3rd NBA season, all I'm gonna say about it is:
I reather have a guy in my team who can put up about 14/8 on the daily basis tham a guy who can't even average 5/4 and only have 1 good game in fucking three years,most of them points in garbage time.

18 pts/14 rbs. that's all I have to say

no matter what you quote back,you'll still look like a retard in this thread wottt.

Um...if Scola was putting up 18 and 14 on a daily basis we wouldn't be arguing about if he's good or not.

If putting up 18 and 14 once every 15 starts is your proof that he's good...then Matt Bonner must be really good because he put up 25 and 17 in only 3 starts.

3rd season? Scola is older than Bonner is. You want us to wait 3 seasons for Scola to be able to play in the NBA? Duncan will be retired. Hell, Scola will be retired.

False...Scola is over-rated as shit...

[The Franchise]

I understand you hate him being jocked Whott, but can we at least agree that SA would be better with him?

[The Franchise]

His basketball IQ is to high not to have made the Spurs a little better. The guy can flatout ball. Do you not think you would have a few more wins with Scola on your roster.

[robbie380]

how is that? The SPurs have the best record in the Western Conference right now! There is nothing that is guaranteed. Scola looks like a good fit for Houston and good for him that doesn't mean he was going to be a fit for the Spurs. The same can be said about Beno!


since when does a smart, scrappy, hustle player become a bad fit?

[ArgSpursFan.]

Um...if Scola was putting up 18 and 14 on a daily basics we wouldn't be arguing about if he's good or not.
I said,14/8 no 18/14

14/8 will most likely be Scola's stats in the NBA next year, and for years to come.


If putting up 18 and 14 once every 15 starts is your proof that he's good...then Matt Bonner must be really good because he put up 25 and 17 in only 3 starts.

Scola had better games in international competition vs NBA first level players,and now He's getting there in the NBA,Bonner(in other hands)have been playing in the NBA,and never was/been or will be as good as Scola is in his roockie year.


3rd season? Scola is older than Bonner is. You want us to wait 3 seasons for Scola to be able to play in the NBA? Duncan will be retired. Hell, Scola will be retired.
We're not talking about age here,we're talking about NEW FUCKING RULES YOU MORON.
Just to let you know,FIBA rules are not the same as NBA rules.

NEW YORK, March 3, 2008 – The Atlanta Hawks’ Al Horford and the Houston Rockets’ Luis Scola today were named the Eastern and Western Conference T-Mobile Rookies of the Month, respectively, for games played in February.
For every point scored by the players named the T-Mobile Rookie of the Month, T-Mobile will donate $20 to the New Orleans Recovery School District. This month T-Mobile will donate $3,040 on behalf of Horford and $3,040 on behalf of Scola. This philanthropic component is new to the T-Mobile Rookie Program and builds on T-Mobile’s strong appeal to the nation’s youth as the official wireless partner of the NBA. Other highlights of T-Mobile’s partnership with the NBA include the T-Mobile Rookie of the Year, T-Mobile Rookie of the Month Awards, and the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam, an All-Star competition between NBA rookies and second-year players. During NBA All-Star 2008, T-Mobile Huddle Up and NBA Cares will host more than 5,000 local students in the lower bowl of the arena to watch this year’s Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam.

Among rookies, Horford is ranked first in rebounds with 10.6 rpg and double-doubles with 16. He set career highs of 20 rebounds on Feb. 6, vs. Lakers, and 20 points on Feb. 29, vs. New York. In addition, Horford recorded seven double-doubles, including three straight to finish the month. He also became the first Hawk to grab 20 rebounds in a game since Alan Henderson did it on Nov. 26, 2002.

While helping lead his team to a 13-0 record for the month, Scola led all rookies in field goal percentage with .629 percent. He is ranked 15th overall in the NBA this season in field goal percentage with .530. In addition, Scola was ranked third among West rookies in scoring with 11.7 ppg and recorded a career-high five steals vs. Memphis on Feb. 29, 2008, setting the most by a Rockets player in a game this season.

Here is a recap of the month for both Horford and Scola:

Al Horford, Atlanta Hawks
Feb. 6 vs. LA Lakers: Registered 15 points, and a career-high 20 rebounds in a 98-95 victory over the Lakers.
Feb. 13 @ Charlotte: Recorded a double-double with 12 points and 14 rebounds in a 100-98 overtime loss to the Bobcats.
Feb. 25 @ San Antonio: Posted a double-double with 12 points and 13 rebounds in a 89-74 loss to the Spurs.
Feb. 29 vs. New York: Tallied a career-high 20 points, along with 11 rebounds in a 99-93 victory over the Knicks.

Luis Scola, Houston Rockets
Feb. 7 vs. Cleveland: Tallied 10 points, seven rebounds, and four assists in a 92-77 victory over the Cavaliers.
Feb. 9 vs. Atlanta: Recorded 14 points and nine rebounds in a 109-89 win against the Hawks.
Feb. 21 vs. Miami: Registered a double- double with 11 points and 10 rebounds to go along with three assists in a 112-100 victory over the Heat.
Feb. 29 vs. Memphis: Posted 15 points and five rebounds to go along with a career-high five steals in a 116-95 victory against the Grizzlies.

Other nominees for the Eastern and Western Conference T-Mobile Rookies of the Month were the Los Angeles Clipper’s Al Thornton, Philadelphia’s Thaddeus Young, Seattle’s Kevin Durant and Toronto’s Jamario Moon.

btw tonight Scola's stat is impressive because he was going up against DPOY Camby, KMart, and Carmelo.

not to involve myself into the actual scola debate, but did you just try to infer good defense using 3 nuggets!???

[wireonfire]

Scola got most of his points on layups. That is against DPOY Camby. Plus he got way more rebounds than Camby too.

[Harry Callahan]

whottt cant u just admit that Scola is a damn good player? (or maybe u did, since i dont wanna go throught 1300+ posts in this thread)

btw tonight Scola's stat is impressive because he was going up against DPOY Camby, KMart, and Carmelo.

I've never thought Camby was a true DPOY - he gets a lot of blocks cleaning up the mistakes of the other Nuggets players. He is an OK one on one defender at best.

The Nuggets are a mediocre defensive team overall IMO. Martin is not nearly the player he used to be. Iverson and Carmello aren't interested in D. I personally can't stand the Nuggets because some of their key players are ignorant fools who can't speak English in complete sentences (Yao Ming speaks better English than Allen Iverson, Kenyon Martin, and Carmello Anthony).

The Nuggets were allowing Scola to get position right at the basket with little or no resistance. Scola knocked a bunch of jumpers down where he had no defender within five feet of him for some reason. It was almost like free throw practice out there.

Scola's a good player and could have helped the Spurs. However, Scola and his agent had no desire to sit Scola behind Tim Duncan for three years (Duncan is signed for the next four or five years now). The 4 spot is the only one Scola can effectively play in the NBA. His spots on the floor are the similar to Duncan's offensively. Scola is a below average defensive player lacking quickness and long arms (Popovich does not like that).

I believe Scola would never have signed with the Spurs because he could have been a 30 year old player three years down the road (at the end of his rookie deal) who would have received limited playing time. He would not have had the opportunity to display his offensive abilities to the max in SA.

Houston offered an opportunity for a lot more PT the next three years and Scola is now a starter in Houston. Duncan (assuming good health) will still be a markedly better player than Scola when Scola's rookie contract runs out and Duncan will still be under contract in San Antonio.

SA has a couple of promising young PF's (22-23 years old) coming to the roster full time next year with Splitter and Mahimi. These two will help the Spurs at the 4 and the very possibly the 5. It was a crowded situation in SA, and Scola was allowed to leave. SA would have preferred to send Scola to the Eastern Conference (Cleveland), but that unfortunately did not work out. I personnally would have forced Scola to stay with Tau Ceramica and not allowed him into the NBA unless it was with San Antonio. Luckily for Houston, the SAS front office was nice enough to let him go for nothing.

The Rocket people acting all cocky about Scola in this thread should take a hard look at their own team as it sits today. There is real possibility that their best player Yao Ming (on the books for the next four or five years) is another Bill Walton with serious medical issues. Their second best player McGrady (on the books for at least a couple of more years) has a bad lower back that can go out any minute. The Rockets have a nice team right now, but without a healthy Yao in place this year, Houston has little chance to win more than one playoff series in 2008.

The really tough thing for Houston is they are committed to Yao for a long time with his new contract (4-5 years on a Max deal). Yao will not have played a full season in three years now. When stress fractures start occurring on a big person like that, he is now reaching the point where one has to wonder if he will ever be healthy for a significant period of time again.

If Yao continues to be dogged by injuries, the Rockets may be in a position of being stuck in the middle of the pack in the Western Conference without any way of getting out in the next 4-5 years. That's too bad for Yao - he does seem like a really nice guy and a hard worker.

Well, look to the bright side Rockets fans, at least Luis Scola will have the chance to pad his stats the rest of the year with Yao out.

[21_Blessings]

Scola did not deserve Rookie of the Month. Al Thorton did.

[WalterBenitez]

Scola is playing well, I think Yao's injury would be an opportuinity for him an the rest of Rockets to show they are able to reach playoff.

First me T-MAC could even won a serie :p:

[KidCongo]

Scola did not deserve Rookie of the Month. Al Thorton did.

Al Thorton can ball :elephant

[MB20]

Scola did not deserve Rookie of the Month. Al Thorton did.

But Scola plays for the Rockets, who went 13-0 in Feb and are fighting to reach the playoffs without their best player. They deserved some recognition.

[DaDakota]

If Scola was still with the Spurs he and Duncan would be starting together.....

Scola is MILES better than Umberto......it is not Fabricio who is winning all the awards it is Luis.

It was equal to the Barbossa trade.....but......the Spurs don't need Luis to win it all....

They already have enough.......

As a Rockets fan, I am glad we got a few scraps from the table though.

:D

Please show Fab Oberto a little respect and spell his name correctly. He made a number of significant plays in last years championship run.

I am not sure Scola would start alongside Duncan full time. Oberto and now Thomas will spend long stretches guarding the opponents "5". Duncan only does that in spots and key situations end game.

[Indazone]

Scola is the best PF from the Argentina team bar non! They don't call him Big Manu for nothing. Scola will be a 20-10 player when he gets more than 37 min a game. He will get the Rockets to the playoffs and beyond.

Whott Ownage is hilarious

By the way!

[whottt]

Damn you ScolaFans are stupid...

20 and 10? Are you really that fucking stupid?

He will never average that for a season. Never.

Big Manu?

That is a huge insult to Manu.

Greatest foreign PF ever?

Holy shit...you guys don't know jack shit about basketball...it's like you really don't know anything.



Best Argentinian PF ever? LOL that one you might have...since he's the only one to ever play in the NBA other than Wolkowyski...who couldn't handle it.


He's a fucking scrub at best...I know it's a big deal for you Argies to see a PF score 15 points in a game...but there have been 300,000 of them that have done it in the NBA.


I know RocketFan is bandwaggoner who is most likely new to following basketball, but that's no excuse for not seeing that Scola is being challenged for the PF spot on his own inmjury depleted team.


ROY of the year isn't shit either...he's 28 fucking years old. He should have been the best rookie from day 1 if he was any kind of a longterm talent...as it was, he got his ass kicked by 19 year olds.




And you guys want to put him the HOF?

For what?

Choking in Europe?
Riding Manu's jock to a gold medal?

Having a couple of non shitty games in the NBA(it's about time).



Just enjoy it...if you guys would lay off Scola's jizz for a day you would see that you haven't owned shit when it comes to Scola and my evaluations of him. You are just too intoxicated on your own stupidity to see it.



In closing...Fuck Scola. Scrub.

[DaDakota]

Ok, while I don't agree he is the best foreign PF in the world, he is far from a scrub.

Scola is the player with the highest basketball IQ on the Rockets, he is so smart and crafty.

There is a reason that since he was inserted into the starting lineup at the PF position the Rockets are 16-0 it is because of him.

He is a good rebound, great passer, crafty around the basket and moves without the ball into open space so darned well, and he has a nose for the ball.

Scola is why Houston is still in it despite losing Yao Ming.....the guy just has the "it" factor.

Now is he a star? No, not a star per se, but a star as a team player, he makes everyone on the team better and inspires them to play harder.....

Scola is a perfect fit for the Rockets, we needed a passionate player to bring energy, fire and determination.

As for people whining about calling him the big Manu...come on they are both from Argentina and they are the 2 best Argentinian players..by a long shot.

And with Scola leading them this past summer, they qualified for the Olympics ....without Manu and Oberto, etc.....Scola can play the game, he is a flat out baller....

The Spurs did the Rockets a favor, and we thank you.

[hater]

Scola is a beast!

imagine argentine olympic team with Manu, Chapu, Delfino, Oberto, Hermann and now Scola with NBA experience!!! now that's a team of MEN

they will kick the shit out of any other team including the americans

Nocioni?

They just might because all of them play a team first game, and most of the players from the USA are me-first types.

Team trumps me.

DD

[spurms]

scola has a very low turnover ratio, so there's no wasted possession with him in the game, that's why he's been so effective. If the spurs had scola they are sure to repeat again, that's why i will forever hate lindsey, why did we get him as GM from the ROCKETS! Stupid move like Kerr.

We should start working in next generation!

[nkdlunch]

Scola is the best player out there in tonight's game Dallas vs. Rockets

[whottt]

Well Bonner had an awesome performance...

15 points and 4 rebounds.

If he was Argentine...he'd the be their greatest PF ever..or at least in the top 2. I mean he can hit threes.


Amazingly enough...everyone sucks when they get DNPED or extremely limited minutes per game...and amazingly enough, a lot of guys that basketball newbies think suck, can put up nice numbers when they actually get the minutes to do so.





And in closing, I'd like to offer the final statement on the matter...


You think Scola would be getting the same minutes on the Spurs?

Because Pop would play him the same minutes?

Pop is the guy that okayed trading him...


So think again.

[ArgSpursFan.]

Pop is the guy that okayed trading him...


Everyone makes mistakes every once in a while,even Pop.

[whottt]

Pop wouldn't have played him...deal with it.


Rockets aren't going to win a title anytime soon...deal with that as well.

[picnroll]

One of he best games of Bonner's life and he sill can't match Scola's stats that night.

[whottt]

One of he best games of Bonner's life and he sill can't match Scola's stats that night.

How many games has Matt Bonner started in his career compared to Scola?


And Bonner's best night is better.

And every other night is worse.

Minutes matter.



Sin,


The obvious

[whottt]

and Pop is the guy that thinks Bonner sucks and won't play him.

Yet still signed him over Scola.





So think again.

Looked to me like Bonner was played last night...while Scola remained traded.


What exactly is it that you want me to think about it?


How about you ask Beno what he thinks about it....

[whottt]

well said.



Just because the guy can put up stats doesn't mean Pop will play him.

Sin,

Beno Udrih




And just because he can't doesn't mean Pop won't.


Sin,


Jacque Vaughn







Any other inaccurate perspectives you guys need straightened out?

[whottt]

Bonner too got more minutes on teams not named the Spurs. It's not like he "sucked" for every team he played for.

His stats as a starter are better than Scola's. His career best games as a starter(in fewer starts) are better than Scola's.

It's a fact that guys capable of putting up decent numbers get confined to the bench playing for the Spurs.


I'm definitely leaning towards Matt Bonner being one of the greatest Argentine PFs ever...if only he'd been born Argentine(his game could be exactly the same).


I mean 13 and 8 as a starter is pretty impressive...or at least it should be to Scolasucks, since they make a big deal about it when Scola does it.

[Indazone]

It's simple actually,

How many GM's in the league would take Bonner over Scola? :lol

[whottt]

It's simple actually,

There's only one of those you know...

yeah,a crappy Eurolegue team and the raptors when they were a lotery team.
Great analisys.!!!:tu

you're so fucking wrong dude,Hernan Montenegro could've eaten Bonner alive.

I

Scola is about 2 boards shy to average a double double since He's starting for the Rockets,and on top of that, they keep Winning.
This is the guy that YOU predicted it was gonna be too slow for the NBA speed and not too strong to crush the boards like he's doing it.
You're so full of shit wottt..................

[picnroll]

Yet still signed him over Scola.



Could it be that the Rockets wouldn't suck up Butler's contract to sign a scrub like Bonner, only fore a player like Scola? Nahhh.


Reality check for whottt. If the Rockets were to trade Scola next summer and the Spurs were to trade Bonner, who would bring back more value in return? This is a test whott, don't blow it.

[hater]

I watched the game last night and Scola is amazing.

He seems to be the smartest, most experienced Rocket out there. Always cool but full of energy. Always in best spots offensively and defensively. Rockets would not have this winning streak w/out Scola.

and those who compare Bonner to Scola please stop smoking your mom's laundry detergent

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Agreed because they play team ball.

Any chance V-Span comes back next year, or is his buyout too large?

DD

It depend. He have player option for next year this mean I think one time chance to opt from contract. His agent have advise that if Greece get medal at Olympics then many NBA team will be interest since Spanoulis has been team lead scorer in last 5 tournaments it mean good chance he lead team in score points again. So if team get medal it natural have NBA team interest again.

So agent advise wait this time if he still want come back NBA. But I not sure how much time he have to chose opt from contract. I know Spanoulis have make mistake before when sign with Rocket team. He sign with them before 2006 World Championship against advice of agent.


Then next time Greece play the World Championship after this 6 NBA team offer him MLE contract and chance be start point guard for team. He not able to take offer because he already sign with Rockets. They own his right but agent tell him they could ask get trade if need just like Scola do. So Spanoulis by not wait for 2006 World Championship screw himself and end up get team where coach tell him first day he not want him but Mike James and start begin with bench him talk.

So this time if he decide come over agent tell him they not make any decision before Olympics.

[WalterBenitez]

Last game against Denver I wished either Scola, Elson, even Rasho were around.

[kuato]

Well Bonner had an awesome performance...

15 points and 4 rebounds.

If he was Argentine...he'd the be their greatest PF ever..or at least in the top 2. I mean he can hit threes. . Please search some info about Juan Spill .

[ArgSpursFan.]

Please search some info about Juan Spill .

He was refering to PFs and Juan is a SG.
But Montenegro(who was drafted by the NY nets)was at the same level that Scola was in europe,and was more athletic and taller tham Luis.
The thing with El Loco was his work ethics.
Another great PF was Marcelo Nicola, and Back in the 80's Sebastian Uranga.
All of them>>>>>Bonner.

[spurms]

off night for scola tonight, but he got 8 rebounds, and some steals.

[whottt]

Could it be that the Rockets wouldn't suck up Butler's contract to sign a scrub like Bonner, only fore a player like Scola? Nahhh.

Could it be that if the Spurs thought Scola was that great they could have just not signed Bonner and Oberto?


Obviously they didn't.


Unless of course Scola was threatening to walk...which since he was an asshole from the night the Spurs drafted him on...is equally likely.



Reality check for whottt. If the Rockets were to trade Scola next summer and the Spurs were to trade Bonner, who would bring back more value in return? This is a test whott, don't blow it.


Reality check for picnroll. The Spurs aren't known for upping the trade value of jack. See Giricek, Gordan.

[whottt]

Please search some info about Juan Spill .


Don't you mean Juan Espil?


Please search some info about Matt Bonner.
In particular look at what he's put up in starts, then compare it to Scola...in starts.

Then realize that if Scola played for the Spurs he wouldn't have started, he wouldn't have been ahead of Horry, he wouldn't have been ahead of Oberto and since he can't shoot threes, he wouldn't have even taken minutes from Matt Bonner.

[Harry Callahan]

To all the folks bashing the Spurs over Scola (Argies and Non-Argies included)

Is it remotely possible that Scola and his representatives decided that if he was to come to the NBA, Scola had no desire to come to San Antonio and be Tim Duncan's backup for three years? I have brought this scenario up before and nobody really spent a lot of time on that.

The SA Front office had been talking to and negotiating with this guy for five long years. Scola's agent talks about the Spurs holding Luis "...hostage" when they decided to bring in Oberto instead of him in 2005 due to Tau Ceramica contract issues.

Fast forward to last summer - the Spurs have just come off of yet another NBA championship and decided to bring back their roster intact unlike in prior years. Popovich does not play favorites - you have to earn your playing time regardless of who you are or what you have done in the past.

There is every possibility that Scola plays significantly fewer minutes in SA in his rookie season especially as he learned a system everyone else knew already.

Houston had a gaping hole at the 4 position and plenty of playing time possibly available. A potential deal with Cleveland for Scola fell through. Scola and his people indicate they will resign with Tau long term if something doesn't happen this summer with an NBA team. The SA front office may have been pushed into a corner, no?

If San Antonio hadn't blinked and done the Houston deal and Scola went back to Tau, imagine the situation that could have come to pass.

Here you have a guy just selected with your 2007 first round draft choice in Tiago Splitter (who by the way is Scola's best friend) and is reunited with Scola at Tau, with Scola just having been "denied his dream" to play in the NBA by the mean old Spurs. Do you think the Spurs wanted Splitter to hear from Scola how the Spurs "...denied him his opportunity of playing in the NBA" every day? I don't think so.

As is always the case in business, it takes two sides coming together to make a deal. San Antonio could have really wanted Scola to come over this summer to join the program, but after the draft and free agent signings of their own players, they had TD, Oberto, Splitter (in 08), Mahimi, Horry,Elson and Bonner who could play the 4 spot on the team. Is it remotely possible that Scola and his agent said "No thanks" to San Antonio's contract offers and forced a trade somewhere else, which ended up being Houston?

The only competition at the 4 Houston had at the time with NBA experience was Chuck Hayes. The opportunity to play a lot of minutes in his rooke season was much better in Houston. Not to mention the fact that with a short term (three year maximum) contract in place, Scola will probably have only one opportunity to get a sizeable contract in just a little over two years from now as he approaches his 30th birthday.

Scola did not have the time to risk the possibility of a "Red Shirt" year with the Spurs as they had just won a championship with the players already on board. Please note that I said "possibility" because Scola certainly could earned a lot of minutes in SA - just not as a starter (remember #21 is the starter). Don't discount the fact that the Rockets replaced their coaching staff and front office staff. The entire team had to learn a new system.

It takes two to tango and Scola may not have been enthused about coming to SA at this time. We have already seen over the last 2-3 years what can happen here when a talented player gets stuck on the bench and gets disgruntled (Beno). If the Spurs had kept him this year (which they could have done) what type of contract would he have received this summer - not a good one. The chance for big money and playing time for Beno came by playing heavy minutes for a bad team with no chance at the playoffs (Sac).

In my opinion, Scola had neither the time nor the inclination to risk being patient in San Antonio for the type of playing time opportunity he got elsewhere very quickly (he starts in Houston).

Tim Duncan is going nowhere anytime soon with recent his contract extension. Luis Scola would not be the starting power forward for the Spurs in the next three years (the length of his rookie contract). Coming to SA would have had a significantly negative effect on Scola's future NBA earnings. He made a business decision that will in the end make him millions of dollars.

I hope this makes sense to all of those people who incorrectly think the Spurs were the only party deciding the near term NBA future of Luis Scola. Scola and his people exercised their leverage as well.

[Indazone]

It depend. He have player option for next year this mean I think one time chance to opt from contract. His agent have advise that if Greece get medal at Olympics then many NBA team will be interest since Spanoulis has been team lead scorer in last 5 tournaments it mean good chance he lead team in score points again. So if team get medal it natural have NBA team interest again.

So agent advise wait this time if he still want come back NBA. But I not sure how much time he have to chose opt from contract. I know Spanoulis have make mistake before when sign with Rocket team. He sign with them before 2006 World Championship against advice of agent.


Then next time Greece play the World Championship after this 6 NBA team offer him MLE contract and chance be start point guard for team. He not able to take offer because he already sign with Rockets. They own his right but agent tell him they could ask get trade if need just like Scola do. So Spanoulis by not wait for 2006 World Championship screw himself and end up get team where coach tell him first day he not want him but Mike James and start begin with bench him talk.

So this time if he decide come over agent tell him they not make any decision before Olympics.

Spanoulis got screwed last year just like Walter Hermann is getting screwed this year.

[endrity]

Spanoulis got screwed last year just like Walter Herrmann is getting screwed this year.

No shit. Hermann was playing amazing ball at the end of last year, scoring 20+ for more than a month I think. I really liked the guy, and the energy he played with. Now a new coach comes in, an Avery product by the way, and he does not like a PF who can shoot from deep, because that's not 'tough'. BS!!! So he gets dealt to Detroit where it's almost impossible to crack the rotation with the same team being there for like 5 years now. I hope he gets another chance somewhere because he can really play.

[Indazone]

Hermann and his agent should or if they haven't already quietly ask the Pistons front office to be traded. I would not bet against that either and would not be suprised to see Walter Hermann on another team next year.

[Matchman]

nice analysis harry :clap
Scola wants to play (AND START) in a contending team. no contending team in the NBA has a PF-gap bigger than the Rockets

How Scola became part of the ride



Luis Scola wasn't considered an option when the Rockets began discussing power forwards last summer.

His name was on the list of players general manager Daryl Morey gave owner Leslie Alexander, but not because Morey believed he had any real chance of obtaining him.

The Spurs owned his rights, and Morey didn't think they were inclined to trade with a division rival. Besides, there had to be teams with more to offer.

"He's the best guy," Morey told Alexander, "but it'll never happen."

On draft day, Morey had learned how badly his boss wanted to win. When Seattle hesitated on a trade that would have allowed the Rockets to jump ahead of the Celtics to draft Carl Landry, Alexander urged Morey to throw in more money, more draft picks, more whatever to make it happen.

Morey completed that trade, drafted Landry and a key piece of this remarkable season was in place.

Two months later, Alexander again urged Morey to do whatever he could to obtain Scola. Spurs general manager R.C. Buford assured Morey he was going to trade Scola's rights to the team that put the best offer on the table. If that offer was from a division rival, so be it.

Morey made the deal happen by giving the Spurs cash, Vassilis Spanoulis and a second-round draft pick. He also agreed to take Jackie Butler's contract. Both teams got what they wanted.

The Spurs netted around $10 million, and the Rockets got their best power forward since Otis Thorpe. Together, Scola and Landry have joined Chuck Hayes to transform a position of weakness to one of strength. They've provided scoring, rebounds, energy, and in Scola's case, leadership.

"Their passion and enthusiasm is contagious," Shane Battier said. "You want to be out there with them. You want to run up and down and drive for loose balls. You want to make energetic plays. I think they've energized our team and our fans."

Better since Yao's injury
Scola is averaging 12.4 points and 6.4 rebounds and shooting 59 percent in 18 games as a starter. He's even better — 14.4 and 7.4 — since Yao Ming was injured.

Numbers are only part of the story. He's clever and efficient around the basket, and as Battier said, his energy level is contagious.

"He's a guy who plays every possession hard, almost to a fault," Rick Adelman said. "He just wants to do so well. I can't say enough about the way he has been playing. He wants to prove that he belongs at this level. He's one of the hardest-working guys and he doesn't take any days off."

Scola was a two-time Most Valuable Player in the Spanish league and was the leading scorer on Argentina's gold medal 2004 Olympic team.

At 27, he's the NBA's oldest rookie and burning to prove he belongs. Along the way, he's getting a unique look at a new country. He has embraced this part of his new life as well.

"Language, history, everything," he said. "I love getting in touch with other cultures, learning from them."

He watched them toss salmon at Seattle's Pike Street Market and walked Michigan Avenue during the Christmas shopping season. He intends to see every inch of Washington and New York that the team's schedule permits.

He has brought the same kind of enthusiasm to the court. To watch these Rockets is to appreciate their commitment to sweating the small stuff. They're among the NBA's top teams in defense and rebounds. They might be No. 1 in floor burns.

If the Rockets beat the Nets tonight, they'll be just the fourth team in NBA history to win 19 straight games. They are 27-3 since Jan. 4.

Rising to next level
Rafer Alston and Battier are arguably having the best years of their career.

Tracy McGrady is a superstar in every sense of the word.

And there's Scola, Landry, Bobby Jackson, etc.

The Rockets don't win without McGrady's greatness, but they also don't win without a bunch of guys doing their jobs better than almost anyone thought possible. They tried to tell us this season wasn't going to end just because Yao got hurt.

"Nobody is going to replace Yao," Scola said. "Everybody has got to do a little better, a little bit stronger and try a little bit harder."

Scola isn't the only amazing thing about this season. He's neither the best thing nor the worst thing.

He's simply part of an incredible story. And the story continues.

Listen to Richard Justice week-days from 10 a.m.-noon on 1560 AM.

Spanoulis main job is be first score option of Greek national team yes but I think he more like be point guard and run offense and be defender. I think he like best when he play on Maroussi team. He have job of run team and make play and play hard defense. He lead team in scoring true but I think he like this role more of run team and play hard defense.

I think if he starting point guard of nba team I see more like similar to Nash with Dallas 12-14 point 8-9 assist but only with much much better defense much better by many time. 20 point? Spanoulis not selfish enough I think for this.

[Indazone]

lol ok KillBill with enough minutes, then Spanoulis should have 8-9 assists and at least 15 ppg. I see him as a slashing playmaking guard like D. Wade. I think he should score a lot of points with his speed and penetration. All he needs is experience and playing time if he's as good as his billing.

I see before the nba game where Bob Sura play with Rocket team. You know him? he seem have injury problem. I think take him and Spanoulis similar player. Spanoulis shorter than him but much stronger and he also faster. Spanoulis like him but quicker and faster. Also Spanoulis can play every game almost of all season. He never get injure except couple time.

i think how this Sura play but quicker and stronger, this like Spanoulis. I not know why Van Gundy treat him so bad. Greek fan expect him play because he similar to this Sura who start with same team. Difference i think Spanoulis much stronger.

Wade not have same skill with basketball Spanoulis have. i think Spanoulis much more dribble and pass skill much better court vision. Also much better shooter. But Wade is player that is bigger and have longer arms. wade always try dunk. In Greece player teach that dunk hurt knees and hand.

[robbie380]

the wolves aren't good at all but this game was against jefferson who is one of the top PFs in the league. good game from scola.

After reading over some of this thread ( as well as a few others)... Spurs fans, please tell me that you do not claim Whottt as one of your own. This guy is an embarrassment. Not only are his opinions Outrageously dumb. Also, it's a shame that you guys allow somebody to type perverted crap like that on your forums. The level to which he takes his profanity makes me feel sad about the human race. It's a disgrace.

Oh, and one final thing, .. Whottt.. Scola would be the 2nd best PF on the Spurs, and is a VERY good player in this league... no matter how many curse words and perverted statements you spew.

May be for the Business, but about basket is one of the Biggest Mistakes of the Spurs

Whit Scola and without Yao, the Rockets remains in the Top of the West

If you are from Houston, you take Scola, for a Player who don´t want to play in the NBA, and Buttler for a Second Round Pick

Who make the Best business?

First Blood VI: Sly meets Scola (w/video) (http://blogs.chron.com/nba/2008/03/first_blood_vi_sly_meets_scola.html)

Kirk Snyder played hard. He played well. He demonstrated that there is a place for him in this league.

But the impact of his performance on Wednesday will go far beyond his play on the floor.

He did something no one has done as well this season.

He hung a nickname on Luis Scola. It's perfect.

"He's like Rambo," Snyder said. "He never backs down from anything. He's so aggressive and he hustles all over the place. I think that nickname is perfect for him. They should start calling him the Rambo Man."

Not the Rambo Man, just Rambo.

Rambo Scola.

On a night the Rockets struggled to find any intensity, Scola was all over the place. He grabbed 18 rebounds on simple hustle as the Rockets got a season-high 58, outrebounding the Timberwolves by 20. It was not artful, but he scrapped his way to 18 points. He even got three steals.

Rookie wall? The guy is crashing through it.

"He was really good pursuing the ball," Rockets coach Rick Adelman said. "They had some big guys out there that will jump right over your back if you don't put your body on them. I think Luis' activity stood up. He was active when I didn't care for it when there was 1:40 left and he fouled the guy out at halfcourt and stopped the clock. That's not what we want. He just has that enthusiasm. He sees something and he goes for it. He's been so effective for us.

"I think what's really been a telling sign for him too is that with Yao out, he has continued to produce. He has been able to get a lot of things because of Yao. But he is finding a way to be effective without Yao."

That will be key going forward. Without Yao, the Rockets need Scola to knock down the mid-range jumpers he gets, and for him and Carl Landry to finish at the rim. That will be particularly important on Sunday against the interior defense of the Spurs.

For now though, the Rockets picked up another win, reducing the regular season to its final 10 games. Games like Wednesday's can be tough in their own way, with a weak opponent coming in before three off days and the Sunday game against the Spurs and with the Dikembe Mutombo Tribute making the night feel less about the game and more about a celebration.

The Lakers dropped one of those trap games on Wednesday, losing at home against the Bobcats after the intense back-to-back against the Warriors.

The Rockets have a handful of guys who only play all out. On Wednesday, that was especially true of Scola, or make it Rambo.

The so-called spurs fans (many of them living in South America) in this thread need to go to Clutchcity.com or whatever the rockets site is, make your comments in there, and stay there. You all know who you are. Then again, if Houston traded Scola to the Knicks in the offseason, they'd become Knicks fans instantly.

The Spurs BLOW OUT the rockets as they get ready for they playoffs and all they talk about is the second best player on the floor wearing #4 today. This was a 35 minute garbage time on the floor. Perfect for padding stats.

You know, its been nine months since the trade, and all this rehashing is getting really old. Scola did not want to be here in SA and sit behind Duncan for three years when a more obvious playing opportunity came up in Houston, who were fortunate enough to do some serious botton feeding on a deal. If the Rockets were so sure of Scola's abilities, they would have offered more than they did. It's really more of an indictment on the acumen of the other 28 GMs around the league that there was not more interest in Scola.

Then again, Scola and his agent by refusing to sign with the Spurs and use the "I'll go back to Tau" leverage on them poisoned any opportunity for the Spurs to get fair value for the guy.

I guess all the Argies in this thread may not even know the Spurs won today and are in a tie for first place in the Western Conference right now. I just wanted to let you guys know about that.

Maybe they are getting all stoked up for the Olympics, when their heros in white and baby blue will take the court again and they don't have to put up with the distraction of NBA basketball for a few weeks.

First of all, personally I think that the Spurs could've been the best team in the NBA this year if Scola was a spur,and basically that's the reazon why we still keep bringing the Scola subjet game by game.
It was a fuckup,but people in SA refuses to see the truth,that's all.
Them As far as the Olympics and the Argentinian National team goes, I've got no problem separating that to the NBA.
Right now the Celtics and Pistons are the best teams in the league,but I could've been the Spurs,If it wasn't for the offseason fuckup.
BTW,Scola never refused to play with the Spurs,ok?
What happened was that the Spurs knew that they had to draft Scola in the 1st round(not the 2nd like it happened)in order to not pay a buyout to TAU and bring Luis onboard.
I hope you get it now.

spurs could have won 60 plus with this team had the¥ been no injuries
but regular season means nothing
titles is what it is about

The so-called spurs fans (many of them living in South America) in this thread need to go to Clutchcity.com or whatever the rockets site is, make your comments in there, and stay there. You all know who you are. Then again, if Houston traded Scola to the Knicks in the offseason, they'd become Knicks fans instantly.

The Spurs BLOW OUT the rockets as they get ready for they playoffs and all they talk about is the second best player on the floor wearing #4 today. This was a 35 minute garbage time on the floor. Perfect for padding stats.

You know, its been nine months since the trade, and all this rehashing is getting really old. Scola did not want to be here in SA and sit behind Duncan for three years when a more obvious playing opportunity came up in Houston, who were fortunate enough to do some serious botton feeding on a deal. If the Rockets were so sure of Scola's abilities, they would have offered more than they did. It's really more of an indictment on the acumen of the other 28 GMs around the league that there was not more interest in Scola.

Then again, Scola and his agent by refusing to sign with the Spurs and use the "I'll go back to Tau" leverage on them poisoned any opportunity for the Spurs to get fair value for the guy.

I guess all the Argies in this thread may not even know the Spurs won today and are in a tie for first place in the Western Conference right now. I just wanted to let you guys know about that.

Maybe they are getting all stoked up for the Olympics, when their heros in white and baby blue will take the court again and they don't have to put up with the distraction of NBA basketball for a few weeks.
