:lol

I hear ya man
As a former journalist, I find that proposition frightening though, that people could be that narrow-minded

Bonner instead of Scola. Wow. :( Thanks Pop. :smchode:

Thanks for bringing it up Buck. :flipoff

to be fair and objective about it, Bonner does make slightly less than Scola.

Bonner Sucks.

What a great fucking article :depressed

What happened, happened. Oh well...we traded away Scola...shit happens. It's not like we're Portland and we drafted Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan or something.

Actually it was resigning Oberto and Bonner over bringing Scola to SA.

Oh Yea, your right. Let me correct myself....

Scola can rot in Houston for all I care...its basically his fault he's not in S.A. Him and his team for having an unbelievable buyout price to bring him to S.A. It was basically a cat and mouse game that got really messed up.

I keep trying to put that trade behind me and out of my mind, but then shit like this comes up.

My logic makes perfect sense. I am afraid you took my words out of context. Scola is an awesome player, never said otherwise, but if he can't help the rockets with Yao, and Artest advance in the second round, he is not much of an impact player, is he?

Some people here act like Scola is the second coming of Rasheed.

Secondly trying to justify Scola not being capable of helping this Spurs team because he hasn't made it past the first round with the Rockets is just dumb.

Duncan is big part of our success but so is Manu, and Tony and Pop's system. I don't think we could have done w/o any of these, not only Timmy.

The Spurs is a model franchise from top to bottom, and in every Championship run we had major contribution from role players, like Horry, Kerr, Avery, SJ, and others.

And yes the bulls also had Scotty Pippen and Phil, one of the best coaches to day!

So if they bump the Spurs into the 4-5 playoff seeding, and if the Rockets advance, then the trade will change a few things.

There will be new bite marks, and they will be on the Spurs.

---

Maybe.

But if the Spurs are playing with Manu, when said matchup occurs?

They'll be bite marks that won't be all that painful, because they'll be the kind that are left from the night before.

The kind left by a woman you've just had your way with.:smokin

I agree with you. I recently saw game 7 of the 2005 Finals vs the Pistons and Duncan played similar to his recent play - Crappy but acceptable. It was Manu who was the real driving force of our success in that series (and a couple of Robert Horry Miracle shots). In the 2007 Finals it was all Parker with an injection of Manu here and there. Tim was average (which is probably more than what any other power foward/center could provide).

I loves me some Scola !

DD

I was psyched for years to get Scola in here and seeing this bullshit just makes that trade all the more painful.

What's hilarious in a sick sort of way is to think about that controversy created when RC Buford sent Scola an email telling Scola that he played too soft around the basket and wasn't nearly a good enough rebounder for the NBA. I wonder if Scola is going to bump that email conversation now . . .

Scola reminds Barry of a former teammate. Barry has called him a taller Manu.

But Barry goes further than that. He doesn’t think there’s been a better power forward since the All-Star break

---

Barry = Rocket Troll


Brent should just go and shove a basketball up his ass right now, because that'll prepare him for the pain Duncan is going to inflict on the Rockets interior D if he gets wind of these comments and they meet the Rockets in the playoffs.

I hope the Spurs get the Rockets in the playoffs.

Barry turning into a Scola Homer might be the funniest twist in the World of Whottt. :lmao:lmao

Tells you what kind of an asshole Scola is...he probably can't rebound worth a shit and just goes after them with everything he's got out of spite. What an asshole.


Oh and Harvey otherwise known as Kiss of Death endorsing this trade is pretty much everything I was waiting for. About fucking time...now I just need him to predict the Spurs won't win a title...he's wrong every time.

Good post. Well said. Agree

Would Scola get starters minutes in SA like he does in Houston? He is an undersized 4. Don't get me wrong, I'm pissed like everyone else about how that situation turned out. Duncan gets the inside looks here until he retires.

Just remember, at the draft in 2007, the Spurs had drafted Splitter and thought he would be in SA in 2008. A younger, more athletic big. If Scola did not get the minutes he wanted here, he would have left after 2 or three years anyway. Scola was traded after that 2007 draft. The Splitter snub really screwed us over in hindsight.

SA should have never traded Scola - should have let him stay overseas. On the other hand, Splitter would probably had the chance to hear his good friend Scola complain about the sorry Spurs every day the last two years. Then he would never come over hear for sure.
