You compare their stat and act like they play in game but Batiste plays against Yao in game.
Well here's the Rockets PANA highlight reel from the Rockets. It looks to me more like the Luis Scola highlight reel. I also noticed that Yao has added a hook shoot to his offensive arsenel. http://web.splashcast.net/fs/?embed_.../sc/638542/fs/

Actually...Matt Bonner's stats from his days in the Euroleague are superior to Scola's. And Bonner can hit threes.
In the future...
If I want the opinion of Rocketfan?
I'll take a dump and ask it for one.
Right...Batiste's number were coming against an NBA All Star Center...
Scola's numbers were coming against?
Mother you guys are stupid...
I think I hear Bill calling for his nuts to be scratched, you'd best be running along...
Scola's numbers were coming against mainly Tsartsaris and that's a mismatch right there.
Statements and other news from ΄΄Toyota Center΄΄
12/10/2007
After the game against the Rockets, Zeliko Obradovic was very irritated. ΄΄We showed more respect than we should and I tried to talk to my players during the game. Anyway, we did not play well and made a lot of turnovers,΄΄ said the Serbian coach and added: ΄΄It was tough to face the NBA rules; we were called twice in the first half for illegal zone defense and I don΄t understand why. I tried to talk to the referees but it is sad watching your opponents taking 27 shots compared to 2 for us. Even with NBA rules, I think it is easy to know what a foul is and what it isn΄t. I don’t understand why 5 technicals were called on us. I said to my players that I am sorry for the 2 called on me but it was hard watching what was going on. We came here to play these two games and we do not have time to talk to our players about their rules. We now have a game against the NBA champions and we will try to play well. I do not think that we should play with the NBA rules; these are friendly games and the right ruled must be found΄΄. Kostas Tsartsaris siad: ΄΄We did not know the rules, we did not react well because we got irritated but we could have prepared better for this game. We are not particularly interested in these games but the issue here is to concentrate on our game. We showed more respect than we should and we should have played a faster game΄΄. Finally, Kennedy Winston added: ΄΄You have to adjust to the rules and we want to play good basketball. But there is nothing you can do when others have picked this way of game. We went out to play well but we failed. The referees were not good but what can you do?΄΄ *Before the game, the Greek local community has prepared an event to honor Panathinaikos. There was dancing by local dancing clubs, the Evangelism school chorus sang the Greek national anthem. The Greek Orthodox Church scouts were also there, and the ΄΄Stars΄΄ group from Agios Ioannis Theologos sang as well. After the end of the game, the Greek expatriates have prepared a buffet in a ΄΄Toyota Center΄΄ room, with the players once again being applauded and signing many autographs.*The attendance was 11,351 with 2,000 Greeks.*This morning (local time) Panathinaikos drove to San Antonio where tomorrow night (03.30 Sunday morning, Greek time) they will face the NBA Champions, San Antonio Spurs.

Scola is a superior, natural post player. When things break down, Scola can improvise and create a scoring opportunity. It is harder to defend Scola than Bonner who is more mechanical player in that he has set plays and can execute as long as he does not meet resistance or interruption.
In the harum-scrum of play-off games, Bonner will under perform and Scola will shine simply because of that defensive resistance will manifest more so than regular season. It is easier to create and execute a game plan against Bonner than Scola.
Yeah, I know, Scola was subpar in the recent Euro-league championships. So, I don't know how valid this view is.
I bet Bonner is superior to Scola in every facet of the game except post scoring...
Hehe we shall see on Oct. 26th. Preseason Spurs vs Rockets
Put it this way...
Either Scola's an asshole(which he is IMO)
Or else the Spurs chose to keep Bonner instead of Scola....
I can tell you the #1 reason the Spurs like Bonner over Scola...he actually attempts to rebound and play D. They value those traits more than post scoring...
The Spurs actually have a halfway decent post scorer yanno...there's only one ball, if we'd needed two, Drob would have kept on scoring 20ppg.
Bandwagoner.
And Glen Robinsons stats were far superior to TD's out of college, so were Patrick Ewings, and Joe Smiths. And Robinson can hit three's. LOL. Keep trying man, your getting closer.
Matt Bonner didn't play in the Euroleague.
Is tonights game going to be broadcast on TV or just WOAI 1200 again?
You sound as bad as Rocket fan when they talk about "Euroleague"
Bonner NEVER play in Euroleague. He play in Italian league for crap team that finish in 18th PLACE in Italy! NOT even in Euroleague. In Italian league and finish 18th PLACE in Italy year Bonner plays there.
Team go OUT OF BUSINESS IT SO BAD! No longer exist!
You sound just like person calls Sam Fisher on Rocket board who I read few month before say Eurobasket same thing as Euroleague and Greek league same thing as Euroleague and as stupid Houston reporter who say Spanish league MVP and Spanish league same thing as Euroleague and Euroleague MVP even Rocket reporter so stupid even team reporter not even know what Euroleague be
Only top 4 team from Italy 2nd best national league in Europe plays in Euroleague. You think 18 place team in Italy play in Euroleague? They get sent back to Italy second division and go out of business after finish 18 place with star Bonner on team.
Like Spain league top national league in Europe
only have 3 team even make Euroleague. Like say Italy 2nd best national league only have 4 team make Euroleague and Greece 3rd best national league only have 3 team even make Euroleague 11 teams from Greece A1 division which be 4th best national division in world not even make Euroleague.
You sound like crazy Rocket fan think any game play anywhere on continent = Euroleague by what you say NBDL star and summer league star Lucas = better than Parker.
This just like stupid Rocket fan say some player have better stat than Billy playing on team finish in 13 place in Serbia and then say "but he's scores more point in one game than Spanoulis do in Euroleague"
This same thing you says "Bonner have best stats then Scola in Euroleague"
Maybe some player better than Tim Duncan he plays PF in summer league and once average 30 point!
Lame...I know exactly how the Euroleague works...
Saying Bonner didn't play for a Euroleague team is like saying Chris Paul doesn't play for an NBA team.
He played 4 teams that went onto play in Euroleague and the only reason his team wasn't a true Euroleague team was because it sucked...not because it was in the wrong league.
Eligibility = level
That's like saying the Longhorns aren't an NCAA team if they don't make the conference champioships and qualify for the NCAA tournament.
Sorry...you and subjective need to go study the Euroleague some more...change your perspective...I never said he played for a good team.
And I'm pretty sure Bonner's Italian League stats beat out any of Scola's Spanish league stats. 19 and 9....sick...I mean literally, sick.
FWIW...Scola probably will be a better NBA player than Vaginis(who is still calling you to scratch his nuts btw)....it's all about the heart.
little early to be comparing Scola to Bonner don't you think? I mean Scola hasn't played one minute yet in an official NBA game. Scola I think in the end will be better than Bonner both defensively and offensively once he picks up the nuances of the NBA game and learns not to touch people and set moving screens. Scola needs to adjust to the speed of the NBA game.
He never play in Euroleague. You like tell lies yes?
No, it`s like saying that Longhorns aren`t an NBA team.That's like saying the Longhorns aren't an NCAA team if they don't make the conference champioships and qualify for the NCAA tournament.
Maybe you should study the Euroleague some more.Spent the 2003-04 season playing for Sicilia in the Italian A1 League
Team finish in 18th PLACE in Italy and this NOT Euroleague, Italy league only. 18 place? Yes those stats so good for such great team
No...the year he played there four teams from the league his team played in, played in the Euroleague.
Skipper, Bologna
Montepaschi, Siena
Benetton, Treviso
Lottomatica, Roma
I think I won't...I think I'll let you check some history instead....then I'll let you work on understanding comparisons...the NCAA tournament analogy is 10 times more accurate, in number of games, in every way.Maybe you should study the Euroleague some more.
Next.
Team finish in 18th PLACE in Italy and this NOT Euroleague, Italy league only. 18 place? Yes those stats so good for such great team
He was ROY...in that league.
Not his fault that team sucked...they couldn't even pay him.
Ah, but you were saying that HE played in the Euroleague, which he DIDN`T.
Next.
If you going by Euroleague team then only stat against those team count not stat for whole year.
And you actual think stats like these on team that always lose and have zero other good player same thing as stat like Scola have be plays on one of top 4 teams in Europe?
National Leagues = NCAA Regular season and Conference play
Euroleagues = Conference championships and NCAA touranament.
My comparison was dead on...even the total number of games is similar.
If his team was eligible(at that time) to be selected for Euroleague...he was a Euroleague player to my sensibilities...
The same way a team that is eligible for the NCAA tournament is an NCAA team...whether it makes the NCAA tournament...or not.
