Horry is going to take Bonner's and some of Elson and Fabricio's minutes.Quote:

I prefer Bonner.
Funny how you've referred to anybody contradicting you on Scola as homers...Quote:

And what I posted regarding Spurs Dynasty 21's comment in the stickied thread applies as well to you:

And like I said, only homers go verbally fellating non-Spur players in three different threads.
.......still waiting on Bonner's numbers last night......Quote:

These threads are pointless.

now...what were Bonner's numbers again last night?
Yes, I have pointless time to waste. I don't mind admitting it. :)Quote:

I predict by the end of the year, Bonner and Scola will have similar stats.
yeah,great point you made.Quote:

Keep the Homerism at its best,you are doing great.
Again, it was ONE game. Bonner had 15 pts two nights before. Scola had 4 pts the night before. You can't make any observations after a singular statistic.Quote:

So, a homer AND a liar. :lmao
Sure as long as you keep up your wet dreams of blowing Scola.Quote:

Scola is a better version of Oberto, but he probably can't play the 5 like Oberto. He would be of little use against the scrambling cockroaches of Dallas (still the main ctiterion for second line Spurs players IMO).
Scola nails the mid-range jumper which almost no one in the NBA does anymore. That will earn him a niche. But that's also where Duncan operates and Pop likes players (even subs at the 4) who can be on the court with Duncan if need be.
While Scola is much better than Bonner, Pop likes Bonner and not Scola. Unless you're too good to ignore, that characteristic will trump many others in the Spurs locker room.
Scola is so unusual by today's NBA standard that it's hard to predict how well he'll do in the playoffs -- he's a wild card. Like Don Nelson 40 years down the road in a time machine. If he can adapt and learn he'll do fine, but I still don't think he was a good fit for the Spurs.
Link to where I said He was gonna be the best PFs who ever played the game of BB??????Quote:

all of this bullshit about Scola is tiring. Even Bowen puts up 23 every now and then. These Scola shit talkers are ruining this site. Just shut the fuck up already.
Two things I noticed in this game.
The Rockets played much better than they did in Houston.
The Spurs can't even get a home court advantage. They were just shy of getting jobbed. All 3 of Scola's charges were wrong calls and the Rockets got away with hacking the shit out of people in the lane. The Mavs got most of the calls the night before at home, is it too much for the champs to at least get the same consideration?
I'm not saying that I don't think he'll bounce back at some point, but it seems like he hasn't been right lately. eh...maybe it's nothing.Quote:
