Luis Scola this season.

looks like someone ran out of cocoa puffs this morning

Scola is a loser???

Anyone not named Richard Jefferson is a "loser".

[temujin]

So the Warriors starting guards score 71 points on 27-40 shooting,
the Houston respective opponents score 41 on 9-27,

and the Rockets lose by 6 BECAUSE of Scola's empty stats.

Please more of these just wonderfull "opinions".

[TJastal]

Scola is from Argentina and cut from the same cloth as Manu Ginobili, which says alot about the guy right there. And the fact is that he just keeps getting better and better.

The rockets will make the playoffs this year (thanks in large part to Scola). Two games does not a season make.

True..It seems every team who has playoff hopes has a limited amount of bad losses in a season. I would think you would want to save some those losses for later in the season when health issues might arise. I agree that two games do not make a season, but to already have a bad loss is not good no matter how you look at it. Oh, and yes, scola is really good.

as it's sure one man can win basketball championships on his own. (see Garnett in Mini, Lebron in Cleveland, Kobe w/no Shaq/Gasol, etc, etc)

Oh wait, it's TMac...

[Bruno]

He had a good enough team in Europe to win. He just choked years after years in big games.

[hater]

Losers + chokers in basketball according to Bruno:
- all ball players who have not won an NBA championship

[hater]

Winners according to Bruno:
- Sasha Vujacic
- Adam Morrison
- DJ Mbenga

He had a good enough team in Europe to win.

obviously he did

[Double-Up]

Are you really comparing T-Mac to Scola?

Let me enlighten you a little:

Tau Ceramica/Caja Laboral build a team around Scola and won nothing significant during years. He left them and they win 2 Spanish les in 3 years.

The true winner of the Scola trade isn't Houston, it was Tau Ceramica. They get tons of cash in this trade and they start winning again by dumping this looser.

[temujin]

So what was that game in which Scola only grabbed 4 rebounds, facing the Olimpique Nimportequoi, where Ian Mahinmi was starring?

More and more wonderful.

[temujin]

Winners according to Bruno:
- Sasha Vujacic
- Adam Morrison
- DJ Mbenga

Future winner:
Ian Mahinmi.

no.

While both are losers, T-Mac was a light year player than Scola is or will ever be.

let me enlighten you a little:

I never said Scola was good enough to build a championship team around. But that does not make him a loser and choker.

would Robert Horry have won if replaced with Scola in Spain? no. Does that mean Horry is a loser and choker?

You didn't get it, let me re-explain it to you:
- Tau with Scola = losers with Scola being horrible every year in big games.
- Tau without Scola = 2 Spanish league les in 3 years.

What happened with Tau would be the equivalent of Cleveland winning the le this year. If it happened, wouldn't you bash LeBron.

you didn't get it:
- Spurs with David Robinson = 1 championship in 13 years (thanks to Duncan)
- Spurs without David Robinson = 3 championships in 6 years

that DRob what a choker and loser!

Nope. That time there was CSKA Moscow with gazillion petrol/gas dollars budget. There was Panathinaikos with gazillion whatever_they_from_dollars budget and pretty good Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Tau Ceramica got very young team with Calderon, Scola, Splliter and inexperienced coach. They just couldnt won Euroleague.

First, Tau didn't add a Tim Duncan when Scola left them.
Second, unlike in NBA, there are only a handful of teams in Spain with enough money to win a le.

I don't really think CSKA, Pana or Maccabi have a lot to do with Tau not winning the Spanish league.
