Scola thread!

[Tmac&Luther]

Calling me out when the Rockets might not even make the playoffs?

hate to break this to you, but......Houston is making the playoffs.

My point is proved.

Umm, not really. Your original point was Scola wouldn't sign over here, then changed to Scola sucked ass and couldn't cut it after he signed, then it changed to Scola is a okay player who couldn't play a lick of defense, then went to Scola is now a decent all around player.... Whatever point you originally had....it sure as wasn't "proved".

I know I know...TMac...

Well , if you stick me on a team with a healthy TMac and Yao...I could make the ing playoffs.


Scola's crap who just puts up empty numbers..just like I said he would be.

When we make the playoffs...and we will, it will be strictly BECAUSE OF SCOLA...he's been our most consistent player, over both Yao and Tmac.

I will give him credit for his rebounding though...it's like his way of saying FU to RC every single game. It's actually pretty hilarious.

Which is funny as , because early on you dogged this guy out over his rebounding, just admit you were wrong and save face, because you clearly have no idea of what you're talking about.

But he is a non-factor when it comes to making them a better team, andf that was my major criticism of him,

A absolute joke.......team loses it's best player for the year, said team inserts Scola into the starting lineup, and that team goes on the NBA's second longest winning streak in the entire history of the league. Next season Team loses 2nd best player for the year and Scola keeps his team in contention. (when we make the playoffs.....and we will, Scola will be the reason, so there's nothing "empty" about those #s) The guy is a winner.

I never said he wouldn't put up numbers...anyone can put up numbers if they start.

Umm....yeah you did, at day one you were trying to call the guy a bust......stop lying, you're making a fool out of yourself.

But they have not improved one IOTA since he joined them, and in fact they are going backwards.

Hmm really, because we're a MUCH better team with Chuck Hayes starting?.....Scola has improved greatly since his rookie year, the guy developed a sick 18 foot jumper that is deadly

Matt Bonner is shooting the same PCT BTW, and he shoots 3 as well.


So ask Bonner how his ass tastes.

Really....I mean really??? You're going to throw Matt (spot up one dimensional player) Bonner into this like he's even close to the player Scola is. I mean don't get me wrong, congrats on Bonner for the career year, but give me the post player and rebounder over the no playing defense spot up shooter any day of the week. Scola>>>>>>>>>>>Bonner.

You're just stupid and weren't paying attention to my criticisms of Scola.

When we make the playoffs...and we will, it will be strictly BECAUSE OF SCOLA...he's been our most consistent player, over both Yao and Tmac.

Ok so you squeak into the playoffs and get bounced in the first round...again. BFD. You were doing that before you got Scola...you're doing it now.

The Spurs have bigger goals...it doesn't mean anything to me to be one the 8 teams in the confernce to make the playoffs...it's certainly not something I would go on another message board and talk about.

Which is funny as , because early on you dogged this guy out over his rebounding, just admit you were wrong and save face, because you clearly have no idea of what you're talking about.

I never really dogged him that much on his rebounding...but he's a better rebounder than I thought he'd be, but I already admitted that last year.

A absolute joke.......team loses it's best player for the year, said team inserts Scola into the starting lineup, and that team goes on the NBA's second longest winning streak in the entire history of the league. Next season Team loses 2nd best player for the year and Scola keeps his team in contention. (when we make the playoffs.....and we will, Scola will be the reason, so there's nothing "empty" about those #s) The guy is a winner.

Yeah he's winner who never wins anything...

Amazingly...I knew the Rockets wouldn't get out of the first round.

Umm....yeah you did, at day one you were trying to call the guy a bust......stop lying, you're making a fool out of yourself.

Then link it ...

Really....I mean really??? You're going to throw Matt (spot up one dimensional player) Bonner into this like he's even close to the player Scola is. I mean don't get me wrong, congrats on Bonner for the career year, but give me the post player and rebounder over the no playing defense spot up shooter any day of the week. Scola>>>>>>>>>>>Bonner.

We just have different perspective...for instance if I had to root for TMac? I'd just ing stop following the team until he was gone.

You otoh, like as dung beatle likes ...live, breathe, the absolute and all pervasive grungy tedious suck that is this team, every single day.

You're pathetic and I could not live the bottom feeding NBA existence you do...luckily you are terminally stupid and therefore ignorant of the fact that you are a bottom feeder and who roots for a lackluster team and organization...that is back on it's way down, without ever getting up.



In short...

TMac sucks.
Yao sucks.
Scola sucks.
The Rockets suck.
You suck.


Now run along and get back to your world of suck and you know...start sucking.

Sucker.

[whottt]

BTW, TMac and Luther...

Observing and discussing the Rockets is to me like looking in the toilet and analyzing the turd you just laid in it...I've got about that much enthusiasm over doing it.

Don't take it as a compliment or as any sort of indicator that you have won some sort of battle over my lack of enthusiasm for anthing Rockets...


I'll say the same things I said about Scola on the we traded him plus a couple of Bonner comments:


#1. He's an asshole who deserves his fate in Houston. Karma is a .
#2. He's a choker.
#3. He's not as good of a defender as Bonner is...and you are stupid if you think he is.
#4. He's also slower.
#5. Bonner has raped him in their matchups.
#6. About the only thing Bonner isn't doing better than Scola is rebounding...and Scola wouldn't rebound like that on the Spurs. He also wouldn't get the same minutes on the Spurs.
#7. Both are chokers but at least Bonner has the Celts number...wheras Scola has no ones.

I like Bonner better.


I know how anxiously you are looking forward to getting bounced in the first round so good luck with that.

[MmP]

It's just funny as watching a guy bashing Scola for no reason at all, even when he's been playing amazingly well.

Whott you say it's easy to score if you're starting?...
..WTF!!
where did you get that from? There are nor plety of guys out there that can put up 13/14 ppg. Especially in a team like Houston where Scola doesnt get a any play called for him, not even one. So basically he gets his numbers from hustle rebounds or kick outs from the guards (who rarely do)..
I mean,,,come one man. Watch Scola carefully and get the unreasonable hate out of your head and tell me if he's not a heck of a player. Smart, unselfish, athletic for his height, a guy who tries to win letting his ego out of team, humble..

What's your problem with him?

[Allanon]

I truly believe IF the Spurs don't win a championship again, the whole Scola/Splitter thing is to blame. Spurs with Splitter or Scola wouldn't have been looking at $8 million, 35 year-old Marcus Camby to replace Scola/Splitter.

If the Spurs do win another ring, forget what I said

[Rogue]

TMac sucks.
Yao sucks.
Scola sucks.
The Rockets suck.
You suck.

clutch also sucks.

[urunobili]

I think whottt still needs to take back his comments that he isn't an above average rebounder... that has been his most used attack on Scola's skillset since he joined the NBA...

So Bonner is Faster...
Bonner has a longer range...

BUT

Scola defends better
Scola gets more rebounds
Scola is WAY tougher than Bonner

I'll give the nod to Bonner in clutchness depending on his performance in the playoffs... till then... you have nothing to put him over the top...

[djohn2oo8]

Calling me out when the Rockets might not even make the playoffs?

That takes a whole lot of cluelessness.

My point is proved.


I know I know...TMac...

Well , if you stick me on a team with a healthy TMac and Yao...I could make the ing playoffs.

26,000 posts??? WTF??? I bet you are 40 yrs old living at home with mommy right??? Because you are the biggest pussy on this board....
Now, I am a rockets fan, and I'll root for the spurs before I'll ever root for the Mavs, but you have the intelligence of a Cheney. Why hasn't this been banned yet?

[Rogue]

I think the rockets are likely to make their debut in the second round this season for the first time in this decade, a second round show is really the biggest desire to those rockets fans who live in houston which is the 4th largest city in US.

I think Stern also knows that Houston is a big market, it may make those houston bball fans switch to Texans football if the rockets lose again this season. Stern always is able to help the team win which he wants to win, just like what he did for Miami Cheat in 06's finals.

The there's still a problem for the rockets fans to solve: stern cannot demand the refs help the rockets, he can just ignore some Cheat at most. Is it ethics that keeps the rockets managers from bribing the refs? no. it's the money, rockets' cheap-ass owner will never pay even one more extra penny than what he has to pay.

Scola is tougher down the strech. Luis has had tons of close games in his resume (Eurolegue World Championship Gold Medal game). So I wouldn't say he is clutcher but he has more experience and probably handles better the pressure than Matt.

I keep reading and I don't understand Whott hate towards Luis. There's no reason at all. He's just mad cause Spurs couldn't get'im, which is not Luis' fault at all. Spurs just coulnd't afford Tau's buyout.

[Indazone]

With Splitter going down with a hamstring injury, this is the perfect time for another Scola thread.

That's not true the Spurs could afford it, but the front office was cheap and decided not to. That plan backfired and now it bites at some Spurs fans everytime they are reminded about Scolas' success. The Spurs are my second favorite team but it feels so good to know the Rockets are much better for taking Scola from them. Thanks guys!!!

The situation is that Scola had a clause that if he was chosen in the first round of the draft he could have gotten out of his contract without buyout and the SPurs actually promised him they'd do that. instead he was chosen int he second one and Scola shortly declared that he wished he wouldn;t have been chosen and that the Spurs ruined his chances of ever making it to the NBA because of that.

Then both parties got kind of chippy when RC started to send emails to Luis about improving his rebounding etc when he knew he never would have a chance of playing for the Spurs etc.

whottt mostly hates him because of all what Luis said of the Spurs after drafting him.

If they Spurs would have chosen him in the first round as they promised him, Luis would have had his career in San Antonio and at least 2 rings and who knows even more...

after all that... he really was a threat to the team's chemistry if coming over... therefore... the spurs chose Bonner ahead of him and years before Oberto...

I strongly doubt Scola would have been a threat to the teams chemistry. He does not have that kind of personality. This man is the epitome of professionalism and consistency. The only jersey I own is a Scola jersey, not only because he is a good player, but he seems to be a great person as well. I wish all players could be as humble, hard working, and team oriented as he is.

Pretty much spot on, but wasn't it during the summer in which Pop had a long vacation and wasn't too bothered with personnel decesions so the trade was a 100% RC decision, which Pop eventually hated.

Basically the Spurs wanted to get rid of J Butler too much, decided that Bonner's skillset was the better fit and maybe underestimated Scola's transition to the NBA game a bit.

Also, at the time we had just drafted Splitter and he was pretty much a certain to come to the team the following summer, nobody could have predicted the $ would drop or that TAU would have offered him such a lucrative contract. We also know his sister's health was an issue for him too.

All in all, I think it wasn't such a bad move at the time, we had tried to trade him during the draft but nodoby offered anything good because his trade value was at it's minimum, so using his rights to get rid of the lazy ass Butler was an OK move. With hindsight it's much easier to blame the Spurs FO for it, but at the time it wasn't such a bad decision as some are making it.

No it isn't...my most used attack on him is that he is a choker.
My second most used attack on him is that he's over-rated by his suckers.
And he is.

True...

BUT

No he doesn't.

Scola gets more rebounds

He wouldn't on the Spurs.

Scola is WAY tougher than Bonner

No he's not...this is all just speculative crap and you are jocking your South American hero.

Prove this...

I'll give the nod to Bonner in clutchness depending on his performance in the playoffs... till then... you have nothing to put him over the top...

Scola's crap...he's just a typical player and the Rockets are not a better team since trading for him...which means all that ing that you guys have done about trading him...was not needed, unless your ing homer that confused a team sport with National or Regional rooting interests.


Scola, and every last one of his fans...to death. I wouldn't hate them near as much if they had the guts to follow his worthless ing ass to the Rockets...so then they'd really have something to about.

I challenge everyohne of you Scola fans that has ed about this trade to swear off your Spurs fandomn out of allegiance to this piece of , and go root for the Rockets. Full time.

Do it...at least then you won't sound like idiots for whining and ing.

Like I was saying...dicussing the Rockets is like looking at a turd you just in the toilet...discussing the Rockets with Rockets fans is getting the stench that usually accompanies a turd along with it.


Secondly...Do you see anyone one this thread asking your rooting hierarchy? No you do not...that's because no one gives a . About you, about your rooting hierarchy...about anything you have to say. The next time you think anyone is interested in anything you have to say...you're wrong. Because no one is...first and foremost, me.

Remember this before you open your mouth, and then don't. Stupid ass homer Rocketfans that don't understand just how badly they truly suck are not scarce on this board.

No one...I mean literally no one, gives what you have to say. Learn it. Know it. Live it.

First and foremost.. I'm a Spurs fan... then a Ginobili Fan... after that... the whole Argentine NBA players wherever they are get my support... i don;t need you to tell me who to root and why... the Rockets... couldn't care less about them dude...

[WalterBenitez]

I'll add some salt to the injury... he has been averaging a doble-doble for the past 10/15+ games... 12pts and 10 rbs today (aside 2 ast, 3 stl). And he is shooting 53% for the season.

That is more than salt, it is pepper

[MmP]

Really bonehead position whottt, really.
I can't understand how come you don't realize the stupid position you're in.
Try to grow up man. It's just laughable all the things you post.
Nobody should take your post seriously after what you say.
