Were spurfans talking trash to you then?
If that helps you sleep at nightat 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.
Every night I go to sleep wishing that the Spurs were as good as the Rockets. That they had as good of a record as the Rockets. I have been doing it since the day we traded Scola. Wishing the Spurs were as good as the Rockets...
Wishing the Spurs had kept Scola to solve our defensive big and shotblocking issues...issues Scola is clearly the cure for.
So you see, it is hopeless for me to sleep better at night since the only cures would be for the Spurs to have a better record than the Rockets every single year since the Scola trade, and for Scola to not be the defensive shotblocking presence force he is....
Hopeless really.
I mean the reality is that the Rockets have gone undefeated and won 3 consecutive championships since the Scola trade and Scola himself in reality is a defensive and shotblocking presence equivalent to Bill Russell, Mark Eaton, David Robinson and Dikembe Mutombo combined.
There is simply no cure for my insomnia...but all means keep gloating. We both know the Rockets are clearly the better team and Scola is the reason.
3 things:
1. Spursfan is not arguing that Scola is a good player. Spursfan is arguing that Scola would have solved our two big man issues: shotblocking and post defender.
2. Spursfan is tired of Rocketfan posting in the Spurs forum (instead of the NBA forum) about every decent game that he has. What is the point? As stated, the Spurs won two les after drafting a guy that never played for the team. Good for you that he is putting up decent stats on the team you root for, but the Spurs still have been a better team in all three seasons he has played for the Rockets.
3. Nice sig pics.
I do have to admit one thing...this 44 point nuking of the Nets by Scola is right up there with Jordan dropping 63 points on the Celts in the 86 playoffs. Basically the same thing...
No longer will we speak of Wilt dropping a hundred in a game...now, Scola dropping 44 on the dynasty Nets(who would be working on like 14 championships in a row right now if not for the 3 consecutive undefeated championship seasons by the Scola lead Rockets).
If only we hadn't done that stupid trade.
And to think, we had the Argentine Bill Russell right in our hands.
As Scola hoists MVP trophy after MVP trophy, regular season and finals, and racks up all NBA accolades and All Star Games...he certainly has taught the Spurs a lesson. No doubt, the Spurs will rue the day they traded Scola and created a dynastic juggernaut in Houston.
Have mercy on us Luis...we're only human.
Shoulda traded Luis to Cleveland...then we wouldn't have to suffer watching the Rockets win all these championships, right in our own division. And while it's true Cleveland does have LeBron, it was pretty obvious in the 2007 Finals they were a of a lot further away from a championship than the mighty Rockets were. Would have been much less painful had we traded Scola to them instead. Trading to a division rival is hopelessly stupid and Scola has done nothing but hammer that point home as he lead the Rockets to 3 consecutive undefeated championship seasons.
Ouch.
So let me crunch some numbers here...
Since the trade Scola is averaging:
44 points per game
21 rebounds per game
100% FG%
100% FT%(I know for a fact he has had at least one game where he was perfect from the field and another game where he was perfect from the line).
The Rockets have won 224 consecutive games(to go with 3 championships)
Not to mention the 3 consecutive division championships and 15-0 record against the Spurs.
Sheesh...
I think we can all agree on one thing, would have been better if we'd just left Scola in Spain, is this was going to be the result of that trade. Much better to get absolutely nothing for him.
In fact, it would have been better if we hadn't drafted Scola at all.

Oh wait, so you're saying Scola was held out of fourth quarters not because he sucked, but because a guy no longer on the team played them instead.
I guess that proves Scola is indeed a badass defender. I mean the only reason he didn't play fourth quarters is because a guy no longer on the team played them instead. Makes total sense.
Too much depth can be a curse...I spose.
2) Your fellow Spurs fans were the first ones to make threads about it
3) Her name is Rosa Acosta, and it pisses me off that she is with Soulja boy, she must have NO standards
Maybe the Rockets would have won more than one playoff series in the last 12 years if they had:
1)Not passed on Tony Parker three times in the 2001 draft.
2) Not drafted Eddie Griffin.
3) Not passed on Manu Ginobili in the 1999 draft at least once
4) Not traded away the Rights to Richard Jefferson in 2001 (I know he's been up and down this year, but he's a good player)
5) Not traded away Rudy Gay for an older, less talented player in Battier
6) Not passed on George Hill
7) Not passed on Dujuan Blair
8) Tracy McGrady was an outstanding acquisition a few years ago wasn't it
I know the Spurs are not what there were three and four years ago, but they have outperformed the stinkin Houston Rockets thirteen out of the last fourteen seasons with Four NBA les.
A little advise for Rocket Fan - go make fun of the Mavericks instead - you'd sound a lot less stupid.
Scola is a fine player. Now you have to pay him and he's already over 30 years old. Good luck with that.
FRB
Do you fart in their general direction?
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.
But the 55 pts of Tony were...in 2OT? Or Iīm confused?
Scola is a very good player, but he has to show that against, for example, the Lakers.
Oh, wait...
To be fair, the Nets didnīt play so bad the last weeks, not at all.
Luis Scola on his 44 pt game and calling out Yao Ming. LOL
What a night. It's one of the nights that everything I tried worked. I have never had a 44-point night before. Once 40 points in Spain. I'm happy. But we also win, which is more important. We got 2 wins in a row now. That's what we have to focus. I am happy with the ways our team are performing. I'm optimistic about next games to come.
A couple of days ago, when I got 20-20, I remembered a conversation between Yao and me. A year ago, I got 18 rebounds, he came to me and said,'hi, I do have 20-20, you don't." I told him,' that's not the only thing that you have and I don't.' But now I have a 20-20. So he had it and I got it too. Now I've just known that he just have 41 points as the career high. hey, Now I have something he has to face. When I see him, I'm gonna tell him.
Talk to you soon, my friends in China.
LS
Just this..you re .we have a piece of crap weighing down our cap space stupido
Yao Ming:
Career 19 and 10 player, career 83% FT shooter, career 52.5% FG, anchor of a top 5 defense last 4 years, 7-time all-star. Teams MUST game plan SOLELY for his game (there isn't a player in the league who impacts a defensive game plan more than Yao).
Now go play with yourself.
you and stop swinging from his balls.
Yeah, sook is a moron. He was on Landry's bandwagon too.
wait wait wait wait wait
With yesterday game, the count is: 5 consecutive games with +20 Points and +10 rebounds, the last game when he donīt score 20 and 10 was vs Sacramento, 19 Points and 18 Rebounds
This year Tim Duncan score 4 consecutives games more than 20 Points and 4 times +10 rebounds and in 3 consecutive games +20 and +10, so the 5 straight games of Scola is a great mark.
His March numbers are: 23,6 Points and 13,6 Rebounds, really great games
And Scola is in the last year contract.
Boxscore is a lie; Scola is a scrub; Spursfan needs not lose sleep over Scola.
Whott can probably tell you that.
Nice Joke:
A Draft mistake is a one night mistake, or a scouting mistake, but RC Buford and Pop saw Scola 5 years, playing all over the world in 2 World Cups and a Olympics, before traded his rights for nothing
Is not a one night mistake
Are you done yet? Your team had a nice run, but it's over!!! We are building for the future, with a lottery pick this year, and the Knick's picks that will be lottery picks the next two years. Don't be pissed because our future is bright
Spurs are probably a rival I dislike the least. Most of the fans are chill, not sure why people are always starting . Its not like its Dallas we are talking about here.
23 and 11 against Denver.
Not bad.
That's the age of Mr. Bowen when he started to play with the Spurs.
Scola thread.
Whott is back.
Nihil sub sole novi.
Scola has a good game/Rockets win
His swallowers are back
