You obviously didn't watch play Beno play with the Spurs much while Beno was here. You would understand what he is. A scrub when something is on lthe line. He'll look good on a losing team with no pressure.

Even tho im a Rockets fan, i dont think Scola could save the Spurs. Scola just doesnt have the experience and he gets rookie calls alot. Scola was this good during the playoffs only because he was a starter for 1/2 of the regular season, something which the Spurs cannot give to Scola.
Fuck Scola.
Scola would have been better on the boards, where the Spurs suffered a lot. He would have scored off Duncan much better, to save them through their scoring droughts.
And I think he could have defended Odom better than Oberto. He is younger, and a little quicker than Oberto. I don't know if that means they win the series, but it means they have a better chance.
The Spurs blew it big time with the Scola trade, no question about it. And they are about to commit the same mistake with Splitter.
While I do understand the comments about Beno, I don't know why people hate on Rasho so much. He is a very dependable, average center. He is big, rebounds, defends well. The Spurs overreacted after 06, when Dirk threw their scheme off, but it was crazy to pretend Rasho or Nazr could defend Dirk anyway.
I told ya Mofos!
Scola was the Key to reapet this year and most of you thought He was gonna be a bust.
WE lost to the fucking Lakers cause our Frontcourt Sucks mayor ass, and there's no help for Timmy in the paint.
Now Spliter flips on the Spurs,Ian is still a prospect,Horry is done,and Bonner..............................well Bonner is just being Bonner,not his fault.
This is my last Motherfucking post in this forum,so don't bother quoting me back.
You all can go to hell,you motherfucking Blind Homers(except for a few).
The good times are over in San Antonio,thanks to the FO.
They wasted Tim's last years at his best.+Manu aint the same Manu as He was in the past,and Tony keeps playing like a SG instead of passing the motherfucking BALL.
Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In case there are some who are wondering about Beno, I found this article:

Could Kings Lose Udrih And Johnson? May 29, 2008 - 5:42 pm
The Sacramento Bee -
The Kings could lose point guards Beno Udrih and Anthony Johnson through free agency so Geoff Petrie is looking for help everywhere, according to The Sacramento Bee.
"You know," the Kings' basketball president said, "when the season starts, we're going to have to have some point guards."
Both Udrih and Johnson will hit the market on July 1, and Petrie realizes that there's a possibility that both could leave.
"We'll look at the draft, we'll obviously look at our free agents, we'll look at trading and we'll look at signing," Petrie said.
None of those guys would've helped the SPurs against the Lakers.
Please, enough with the foreign players already.
beno was no scrub...beno was alot better back up then jacque,barry, and mighty mouse, we got bonner for rasho another mistake (duncan had no help, especially with someone who is 7foot not 6'9), we had that but we killed elson, and losing scolla was one of the biggest bonehead moves the spurs have made.....its the spurs organization that killed us this season, not our players, our old boys put up one heck of a fight...lets just hope they make alot of moves, cos if we come back with half of our players....making the PO's will be hard enough............go spurs go
Rasho, Sasha, Beno are none of them even best Slovenian player and Boki is not either. Jaka is best Slovenian player and he's not even so good himself.
Scola though is player Spurs should have kept and if they keeps him his very good friend Splitter would have come also.
You guys got out from under Jackie Butler's contract which we in Houston still have on our books through NEXT year.

Maybe I'm wrong about this, but I'm too lazy to check, didn't the Scola and Beno moves get us under the cap so that we could sign Udoka with out the luxury tax coming into play? Shit, I'll take Ime breaking the press over Beno. And assuming we still made the KT trade I doubt Scola would have seen much more time than Bonner in the postseason.
Hindsight being 20/20 I don't think the move cost a championship, and that's the only way it would have been unforgivable.
So you're telling me you'd rather have Vaughn on your team right now than Beno? A guard who can't do absolutely anything anymore over a guard who brings instant offense and gave the Lakers (the team that just bounced you guys out of the playoffs) fits every game he played? I'm telling you bro, against the Lakers, he looked like an all-star, and last time I checked, this is a game of matchups. But hey, if you guys wanna keep getting rid of guys like Beno and Scola for the likes of Vaughn and Berto, we won't stop you guys.
Duncan needs someone who can be worthy of at least a little attention in the paint. My personal opinion is that one of the best measures of that is FT ateempts. If he can force someone to defend him aggressively enough to foul him, it will keep them from completely collapsing on Duncan.
Rasho, at his very best, averaged about 1 per game. Oberto averages less than 1 free throw per game. Rasho, at his very best, averaged about 1 per game. Scola averaged about 3 trips to the line per game in his rookie season.
To put that into perspective, in David Robinson's last season in the league, playing only 26 minutes per game, averaged about 3.3 attempts per game. Duncan averaged about 6 free throws per game this season. (In years past, he averaged 7-8.5 trips per game.)
Rasho was a eunuch - big and soft. He played weak when he was around the basket. He was deadly with his 10-12 foot jumper... in practice. I used to watch him in pre-games and he rarely ever missed. But when anyone even pretended to contest his shot, he couldn't make one to save his ass.
Silly me. I thought the plan, at least when Beno was traded, was to develop Darius Washington. Then suddenly, he's waived. Hell, if he wasn't going to give Wash a fair chance, why the hell did he get rid of Beno in the first place?
Instead, he decides to go with Jacque Vaughn as the primary backup - which was a disaster. He couldn't even hardly get on the floor during the playoffs. Then Pop compounds that mistake by courting and acquiring Damon Stoudamire, who turns out, was this year's Nick Van Exel.
It's no secret Pop held a grudge against Beno since the 2005 NBA Finals. I'm not saying that Beno didn't deserve it, but watching the way Tony got worn down during the playoffs, Pop should've had a better fallback plan in place.
For the life of me, I can't understand what the fuck Pop thinks about sometimes. :bang
No, Sasha is best Slovenian payer
