way to go RC!!:tu

Oberto is a good player, but his prime is gone already. Scola is only getting better.

I think most reasonable people belives Scola>Oberto.

[Kobayagi]

Yes...and the sky is still blue.

[Kori Ellis]

What people don't seem to understand is just because Scola is a fit for the Rockets doesn't mean he would be the same player in S.A.

I doubt that Pop would have given him Oberto/Elson's starting job this season. Therefore, he'd be on the bench fighting for minutes and not having much time to produce. With the Rockets, he gets plenty of opportunities, which he may not have had in S.A.

Just be happy for Scola that he has a chance and get over it.

The Spurs just beat down his team - in case any Spurs fans forgot.

Oberto did well, i love the guy.

The only reason some people keep mentioning Scola is because losing him hurts... even after so many months. I know, i know... whats done is done... but still.

[timvp]

I've been against the Scola trade but this wasn't the game to point at as Scola being a good player. The Spurs were going right at him and scoring almost every time. Putting up points in a blowout loss while getting scored on repeatedly and simultaneously having the worst +/- on your team isn't exactly a great accomplishment.

Scola has played a lot better. This was actually one of the worst games I've seen him play this year.

[ArgSpursFan.]

Scola is doing pretty much what I thought he would in the NBA except he's rebounding better than anyone thought he could.

Reading English is not for you.

yeah right!
You want me to keep bringing back your comments about Scola last summer when you compared him with mediocres ex NBA player ????

Scola scored 10 points in the only quarter that was balanced.
And it was balanced ONLY because of him.

Or maybe he would be the teams leading scorer and they'd have a better record than the Celtics.
Or maybe they would have traded him midseason for Kurt Thomas.
Or maybe ...

The Scola obsession here is ridiculous. If the Spurs were missing the playoffs or something, I could understand it. But no one knows if Scola would have produced here in San Antonio. Beno produces in Sacramento and he was a lazy scrub here. Different environments bring out different results.

If Scola was here, there's no guarantee he'd be playing how he is playing with the Rockets.

And the point is that he isn't here.

After reading through these past two pages, i've come to only one conclusion: This is just another worthless Scola thread. We might as well be talking about V-Span at this point.

[timvp]

All I gotta say now is ........ F Scola. F the Rockets. With the playoffs around the corner, I no longer care about whether that trade this summer was good or bad.

We got Oberto on the Spurs. Oberto is a big game player. Scola was a big game choker in Euroleague. Scola is free to help the Rockets lose once again in the first round. If you find yourself rooting for Scola, try this link (http://www.clutchfans.com) and stop bandwagoning on the Spurs.

The Spurs have gotten serious. It's time for their fans to step their game up as well.

I personally think Scola is a good player, but not worth the worry.

His rebounding is mediocre, his defense is pathetic. The defense on Duncan was Nowitzki esque.

Scola is way too damn focused on offense to be a Spur.

Sometimes I wonder if a majority of posters here aren't more about player moves than winning. Sure, I like discussing trades and what not, but the Spurs spotted the Rockets the almighty Luis and it didn't matter today. Seven wins in a row and knocking on the door of the #1 seed.

Hey, it's warming up outside. Get out, take a walk, enjoy your life, now is not the time to end it, etc...

[temujin]

It's all relative on earth.

I seriously doubt that

[Harry Callahan]

First of All,
Kori and Timvp are right again. Let's not assume that the person wearing #4 for Houston would be tearing it up for the Spurs.

Coach Pop has expectations for players on BOTH ends of the court. Also, SA has a HOF power forward who plays 35 minutes per game.

A bunch of these teeth knashing LS lovers are not even fans of the Spurs. They are irritating in a hundred different ways.

I'm dating myself, but I remember another undersized forward who liked and was able to put the ball in the hole, but defense was someone else's job - not his. Walter Berry filled up a stat sheet, but championships were not won with players like that. Just a thought.

[ChumpDumper]

I seriously doubt that:lol

What effect do you think you have on my life?

Be specific.

[Agloco]

Or maybe Scola wouldn't play enough D for Pop to give him many minutes.

The Scola obsession here is ridiculous. If the Spurs were missing the playoffs or something, I could understand it. But no one knows if Scola would have produced here in San Antonio. Beno produces in Sacramento and he was a lazy scrub here. Different environments bring out different results.If Scola was here, there's no guarantee he'd be playing how he is playing with the Rockets.

And the point is that he isn't here.

And the Spurs are in first place in the West.


I think the thing thats lost on everyone is that Beno actually gets playing time out there. Hard to produce when you're riding pine.

Having said that, I'm not sure what Scola's PT would have been like here. I'd like to think it would have been comparable to what he's getting in Houston. If so, there's no reason to doubt that his production would have been good here as well.

[ChumpDumper]

Beno got plenty of time. Just got beat out.

[Harry Callahan]

No.
I don't think the minutes would be as much due to the need for other things besides just scoring. You can't have five guys wanting to be the star. Otherwise, you've got the Knicks.

[Agloco]

Beno got plenty of time. Just got beat out.


It was inconsistent at best. It's a lot different when you're getting out there each and every night.

[temujin]

Beno is a totally different story.

The guy wants no responsability. He can play the game, but in an environment in which there is no pressure.

We have witnessed that here (and by here I don't mean SA).

He was considered a phenomenal youngster, and they were talking of a Drazen Petrovic even, back then. There is no question he can play the game, but he has limited leadership capabilities.

Sacramento is perfect for him.
Provided that they don't get too good.

[ChumpDumper]

It was inconsistent at best. It's a lot different when you're getting out there each and every night.Had he played better, he would have played more. There was no need for welfare since there were other better options.

I'm :clap becuase of how the SPurs dispossed of the Rockets.

I'm :depressed because the Spurs made a mistake letting Scola go.

[nfg3]

It always amazes me when this type of thread appears here. People thinking that just because a player plays well on another team in another type of system then that automatically translates to him playing the same way here. Might happen but not very often.

Look at Beno - did you see this type of performance out of him here? I saw only flashes and not for very long. He's doing very well in Sactown and I'm glad for him but him blew his opportunity here. Why do you think Detroit fans in the '05 Finals were calling for him? Could it be he sucked? Couldn't play D and got stripped of the rock frequently?

Kori is right - you can't expect a player to preform the same way here as they do on other teams. Most people know that the Spurs have the most complicated system that demands much more discipline than any other team in the league. ST has called it the 1st year learning curve or something to that effect and have given players leeway because of it. Remember the Elson discussion? Nazr? Some have mentioned that KT is one player that has learned the system faster than most.

So to even imply that Scola would have put up the same numbers here as he has done in Houston is simply not feasible.

Anyway why are we still discussing this? Timvp is right - it's over and move on. The playoffs are upon us and we need ot focus on that and not the old and worn out Scola deal. It's done - stick a fork in it!

[Louie Vega]

Scoreboard Dumbshit!!!!!!

[smeagol]

What people don't seem to understand is just because Scola is a fit for the Rockets doesn't mean he would be the same player in S.A.


Many people were saying the same thing this summer regarding how Scola playing great in Spain did not mean he was going to do so in the NBA. That did not turn out to be true.



I doubt that Pop would have given him Oberto/Elson's starting job this season.


After a coumple of months, I don't see why. And if he didn't this year, maybe we would've next.



Just be happy for Scola that he has a chance and get over it.


I am.



The Spurs just beat down his team - in case any Spurs fans forgot.


Being sad the Spurs lost the opportunity of having anopther quality player in their roster does not mean I'm a lesser Spurs fan the next poster. I happen to think Scola would've been an addition to the team. I'm sorry this upsets many posters.

[mavs>spurs2]

I'm :clap becuase of how the SPurs dispossed of the Rockets.

I'm :depressed because the Spurs made a mistake letting Scola go.

Was it really a mistake? It is fact that he wouldn't get the same opportunities on the Spurs as he does on the Rockets. His mere 9ppg 6rpg would translate to 4 and 2 on the Spurs. Don't see how that makes much of a difference.

Eh, the Scola trade was a mistake. You can rationalize it by saying he wouldn't have the same stats on the Spurs if you want but the fact is they didn't get even close to value back for him.

Was it really a mistake? It is fact that he wouldn't get the same opportunities on the Spurs as he does on the Rockets. His mere 9ppg 6rpg would translate to 4 and 2 on the Spurs. Don't see how that makes much of a difference.

[T Park]

Being sad the Spurs lost the opportunity of having anopther quality player in their roster does not mean I'm a lesser Spurs fan the next poster. I happen to think Scola would've been an addition to the team. I'm sorry this upsets many posters

Why would we want him on the team? He plays less defense than Finley. We don't need a player who by inserting into the lineup guarantees that opposing big men score at will. Look at how Duncan blew by him. KT is a much better defender and adequate enough on offense. Same with Horry, a much better defender.

In case you didn't know, the Spurs win with defense, not one dimensional scorers. Every single player in our lineup plays defense, even Finley and Barry. Scola just looked plain lazy on defense.

The best you can say about it is that we didn't get value back in the trade. Big deal, no team does in any trade. They're all lopsided.

[Holt's Cat]

A solid throttling of a team that was supposed to be the shit little over a week ago and not to mention the original Texas team with the most annoying fans shouldn't warrant an immediate Scola If Then thread.

[K-State Spur]

Scola's performance today was worthy of Antonie Carr, I will give you that.

The Big Dog - Pride of Wichita!

Scola would be starting with Duncan and you guys would be even better.....

That being said....you kicked the crap out of my team today.....well done....

Finley looked spry out there.....

Good game, well deserved win.....

[kuato]

his d sucked today
so what makes you think it would be better if he had a spurs jersey on ---> His D sucked ? Scola was defending TD, and he did it great.

[smeagol]

D can be learned.

My point has been all along that the Spurs would be better with Scola than what they are. That does not mean they need Scola to repeat. But he is still young and could rerplace our old bigs in the coming years.

But I agree with TPark, at this point we are beating a dead horse.

I should not have started this thread . . .

French bandwagon fans > Argie bandwagon fans

:p:

Dude...You're right.

Don’t get me wrong. I love Manu and Fab. Do you see my avatar?

But yeah! I'm sick and tired of all argies fans.

They aren't Spurs fans. They're only Manu, Fab or Scola fans.

J'adore les Spurs.

[wildchild]

disgusting watching Scola bust the Spurs ass like that




but the Scola haters will still say Oberto is better

I'm not Scola hater. I like the guy, but I think Oberto fits better in Pop systems and schemes.
In the game Oberto with 4/4 and 5 asist +/- with+16 (Tony with +22 and Scola with -22) was all Pop needs from him.
Fab did everything to win and the Spurs won. What's the matters?

I think Scola doesn't get opportunities in the spurs offensive.
At least, totally different to the ones he gets in Houston without Yao, now.
There isn't comparison. We have Tim, Tony and Manu and if the guy is only a good scorer, maybe Pop and RC are right.

Pop and RC>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Scola.

Dude, I remember you. You aren't only Scola lover. YOU are Oberto hater. Fab is a Spur guy not Scola. Are you a really Spurs fans? yeah! dead certain. :rolleyes

Suck my dick!

I consider myself as much a Spurs fan as the other guy. I feel as bad as any guy in San Antonio when the Spurs lose, and also get as happy as San Antonians do, when the Spurs win.

I still follow other Argentine players and get happy when they have good showings. But I could care less if the Rockets or Toronto wins.

Actually, before every Rocket game, I'm always hoping they lose for obvious reasons. That does not mean I cannot get happy when Scola puts up good numbers.

[GrandeDavid]

Luis who?

Let's stop talking about Luis Scola, dawgs. Its a dead topic. He ain't a Spur. Besides, we've got Splitter and Mahinmi coming in soon, not saying that they are going to be better in the NBA than Scola, but they might be better fits and their contracts are actually Spurs property.

[Galileo]

Oberto > Kurt Rambis

[ancestron]

Its funny when Duncan posts up Scola, and Scola is holding his breath with his cheeks puffed out, and an "oh shit" look in his eyes. lol.

i'm an argie and i'm a spurs fan since 1998 (way before manu got to the spurs) and lots of argies said that are tired of the scola thing (me included) besides many of the guys that whine 'bout the trade aren't even argentines.
generalize is a very stupid thing to do so try not to do it.

Too bad they put Mutombo on Duncan not Scola...

[Rip-Hamilton32]

why are there so many threads about this average player?

[ancestron]

Scola was on Duncan at times.

J'adore les Spurs. Not so true, the players you named have something in common besides their nationality, they all have something to do with Spurs. Anyway this thread is senseless, Scola is a good player, it is bad not to see him playing along with Manu and Fabri but ... Spurs will be the NBA champions and we (the argies) will be here for the championship party. :downspin:

[temujin]

Too bad they put Mutombo on Duncan not Scola...

Shhhh.

Don't tell to the Corporate guys in here.
Let them pretend they get payed for posting.

[ChumpDumper]

Too bad they put Mutombo on Duncan not Scola...Scola guarded Duncan enough for them to conclude they didn't want Scola guarding Duncan.

Good game for him otherwise.

[timvp]

Truth is that the Scola trade was a horrible one. Scola is playing better than I thought he would. If he grows in the NBA at the same rate as Manu and Nocioni did, he's going to be a stud. Spurs f'ed up. If you hear Pop talk about it, he knows the Spurs f'ed up. Basically the Spurs wanted to save some money ... they just went about it the wrong way.

At this point, I have to let it go. I've been b!tching about the trade for eight months or however long it's been. The Spurs were able to acquire Kurt Thomas, who makes missing out on Scola sting less.

And really, for this team this year, I want Duncan, Manu and Parker shooting as much as possible. The Spurs don't need an offensive minded bigman at the moment. The less everyone outside the Big Three has to shoot, the better. That's like the people who complain about Bowen not being a scoring option not realizing that Bowen shooting less means more shots for the Big Three.

I might be an Oberto homer but I take offense to the title of this thread. I trust Oberto to come up big in the playoffs ... just like I trusted him to come up big last year. He's a big game player who only seems to play better when the pressure is on. When Robinson retired, Oberto was the player I wanted to replace him in 2004. In the 2008 playoffs, I'm expecting even more from Oberto.

:hungry:

Scola was burned horrible
WTF game were you watching!??!

[kuato]

Scola was burned horrible
WTF game were you watching!??! -------> What are you talking about ? , when Scola was defending TD the spurs game was external, from 3p and outside the paint , so ... how can you say that Scola was burned if TD most of the time doesnt have the ball when Luis was defending him ?¿?
