Scola Scores 44!

[lefty]

Scola is the Red Ranger

[Cant_Be_Faded]

TPark you are seriously the dumbest piece of crap on this entire message board. It's like your dad never taught you that people who inherit fortunes can be wrong and look like giant jack asses.

[ChumpDumper]

Scola is a good basketball player, but he isn't a Spur.

[kace]

it happens just the night where Bonner scores 21 and some spurs fans could have thought that maybe it was not so bad to trade scola to keep him

Scola wanted to make it clear that it was a mistake by scoring more than twice the red rocket's points.

[kuato]

Why didn't we sign Scola again?

Money problem, too high buy out. Anyway, congratulations to Scola, he a good bb player (admit that and forget the rest).

[Lars]

Oh man Scola is so awesome! I wish he was younger =(

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Question - how's it feel to have traded Rudy Gay for Shane Battier, an aging defender who doesn't have much left in the tank? Or giving up Carl Landry, someone who could have possibly kept the Rockets in a playoff run?

For every stupid trade the Spurs have made, the Rockets have made more.

Fail. Scola scored 44 today partly because Landry left. That is not a diss on Landry, who is a great player, but two very good PFs were sharing time in Houston, and now that they are apart both are growing their games again.

As for Kevin Martin, he's on a relatively cheap salary for a bona fide wing scorer (10.2mil this year: http://hoopshype.com/salaries/houston.htm), and as he learns to play with that team he'll be a great asset.

Yao
Scola
Ariza
Martin
Brooks

could make some noise next year, especially with guys like Lowry and Battier off the bench, and whatever they add over the off-season.

[easy7]

He would not have scored that many points if he was on Tim's way.

[sandman]

my bad I read noob cake's post and thats what it said. It is 12 for the record.

And your a ing liar, you don't watch enough rockets games b.c as the poster you replied to said it, scola barely ever played in the 2nd half.

How do you average 32 minutes for the season and "barely ever play" in the second half?

Morey has Bosh on his radar, and Jordan Hill is a solid addition. He'll also draft a big man as well, maybe Greg Monroe, but u are right, hopefully, we should make some noise

[sandman]

Checked his splits for the season:

First half: 15.3 minutes, 7.8 points and 4.4 rebounds
Second half: 15.7 minutes, 7.7 points and 4.4 rebounds

Seems like fairly consistent play, not "barely plays in the second half".

Today's trivia questions:

What team had the worst record in NBA history? What was their winning PCT?


What is the New Jersey Nets current record? What is their winning PCT?





Hint: You'll have to be able to look at more than a point total to figure this out.




Thanks for playing.

Great questions...taking all that into account, what is the least impressive 44 point game in NBA history?

[oski1000]

Don´t worry, next season we´ll talk about Manu´s big performances.... In other team, of course!!

But yet you still don't watch the games. If you did, you would see that Adelman always had Landry in the game in the second half, or in late game situations

whottt you crack me up...........

I talk to myself a lot. I don't usually answer though. That would be a big red flag for me.

But yeah, this 44 point outing by Scola is laced with weaksauce.

Please, you ed yourself when Parker scored 55 against the T-WOLVES

Scoring 44 points against the Nets is not weak, losing to the Cavs without LeBron, now that's a different story

[sandman]

I am not saying that Landry wasn't in the games for the final possessions. But "barely played in the second half" and "late game situations" are not the same thing. Decide which one you guys mean.

[crc21209]

20-25 from the field
16 rebounds
44 points.


Sucks the spurs lost 3 potential championships with scola+ duncan but thank you for this amazing argentenian

at 3 potential championships because of one guy....

[Bruno]

Rockets fans are damn funny. They are directly heading in the lottery and they still talk trash.
They remind me the knight in the "Holly Grail".

And Argentinean Manu's fans ing about Scrubla should go root for the Rockets.

I notice you didn't answer the questions. Either because you don't know the answers, or else you are a self deceiving person.

Since you failed to answer the questions I will do it for you.

The worst team in NBA history, the 72-73 Philadelphia 76'ers, went 9-73 for a 110% winning PCT.

As we speak right now, the New Jersey Nets are on pace to finish with a worse record. Their winning PCT as we speak is 106%.



As we speak, right now, the New Jersey Nets are the worst team in NBA history through 66 games:


http://espn.go.com/nba/features/worstteams



I am not the one in denial, you are. As we speak right now, the New Jersey Nets are the worst team in NBA history.

Period.
Fact.
Inarguably.


I realize Scola being only the second Argentine in history to score 40 points in a game is probably a cause for a National Celebration where you are from...but it really is true that the Nets, at this moment, are the worst team in NBA history, and therefore this 44 point effort by Scola came against the weakest opposition that anyone has ever scored 44 points against.

This is simply fact.


Not just this season, but in all of NBA history.



I will say it again for the one hundredth time...go root for the Rockets, since they so obviously got over on this deal.


Look at who you find yourself in Universal agreement with on Scola, Rocketfans.


Go, and celebrate Scola's greatness with them.


Simply shut the up, and go. You will be happier rooting for winners like Scola and the Rockets, and we will be happier with you doing so.


Yes it will hurt when the Rockets make the playoffs this season while the Spurs try to rebuild through the lottery, but we will survive it, and you will be happier watching the Rockets win another championship with Scola.

[whottt]

Does anyone know what happened to head Rocketfan on this board? TMac and Luther?

That guy knew so much, you could tell by his username.

[DPG21920]

To argue Scola is not a good player is foolish and dishonest at best. Spurs traded him and people need to get over it. That is the only fact. That does not mean he is a bad player and that does not mean the Spurs desperately need him.

[whottt]

at people comparing Tony's 55 point game to this one...the TWolves weren't the worst team in NBA history. They weren't even one of the 50 worst, they weren't even the worst team in the NBA that season.

The Nets are not only by far the worst team in the NBA this season, they are extremely likely to finish with the worst record in NBA history.


Absolutely no comparison.

The same way the Spurs got Duncan, and what the is your point?
