New Rocket Scola leads Argentina past Puerto Rico

[Holt's Cat]

Yeah, it would have been nice to have received something in return.

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah, it would have been nice to have received something in return.

Yeah, it would be nice if every team acted as if there were no luxury tax, but only one does.

And that team sucks.

[Holt's Cat]

How many teams have won 3 of the last 5 NBA les?

[ChumpDumper]

Exactly.

[Holt's Cat]

So cut corners when you are on top?

[ChumpDumper]

It's a business. Control costs where you can.

[Holt's Cat]

It's a business being a fan?

[ChumpDumper]

How are you cutting corners as a fan?

The NBA is a business.

[Holt's Cat]

It's a game as well and there are only so many opportunities to win championships.

[ChumpDumper]

Yep, and as you so adroitly pointed out, the Spurs are doing just fine in that regard.

[Holt's Cat]

3 of 5 with their top 3 isn't that great.

[ChumpDumper]

It's great.

[Clemenza]

Thank you Spurs

[ChumpDumper]

Thank you Rockets.

[Roxsfan]

Thank you Rockets.

for what, making your FO look stupid

[ChumpDumper]

Nah, for getting rid of two guys who don't and never could play Spurs basketball.

[screw_ston713]

argentina vs panama argentina wins in overtime, scola scores 20pts 8 rebounds 2 assist yeah this looks like the making of a bum and take in consideration manu, oberto, arent on the team, shows u how good argentina players are 4-0

[Clemenza]

Thank you Rockets.

Yeah, Spanoulis, gave you some cap space for luxury tax next year, or something like that.

Thanks Spurs anyway, Scola looks good

[Clemenza]

Nah, for getting rid of two guys who don't and never could play Spurs basketball.

How are you so arrogant, man?

How do you know Scola couldn't play Spurs basketball?

[ArgSpursFan]

How are you so arrogant, man?

How do you know Scola couldn't play Spurs basketball?

He doesn´t.He just can´t stand too many argentinians playing for S.A.that´s all.
too bad coze S.A is gonna miss the Argies if they´re ever gone from S.A.
But I don´t see that happening, Pop is way too smart for that.

[Indazone]

I'd have been excited about getting Scola, and most Spurs fans would have been excited to get him. He's a good guy and a good player. He is also a low post power forward who, while a good inside scorer and defensive rebounder, isn't a very good defender, and there's a pretty decent power forward on the team already. The reality is that he might not have fit into the Spurs' system, and Udoka addresses a specific need, in both position and specialty. I'd rather have Oberto, Udoka and Splitter. The sooner Mahinmi becomes NBA ready, the less that trade stings.

bwhahahahahah ok, you take Oberto who's Scola's backup and we'll take the real deal.

[wildchild]

bwhahahahahah ok, you take Oberto who's Scola's backup and we'll take the real deal.

again.

Pop, Buford and many Spursfan think that Splitter'll fit great in the Spurs, better than Scola.
Because our systems and schemes favor the role players like Oberto or Splitter. For star in the paint we have Tim.
But Pop, RC don't know much bsk and they're mistaken always...4 rings are nothing.

[ChumpDumper]

How are you so arrogant, man?

How do you know Scola couldn't play Spurs basketball?

Because I've watched him play since before he was drafted. Look, Rocketfans think he can play the three, so they are automatically excluded from any real conversation about his potential as a Spur. Most Argies are not real Spurfans and still butthurt about the Falklands so they are also excluded. What does that leave? Folks like me. I wish Scola well, but he simply wasn't what the Spurs needed. Scola is a fine player. He can do well in this league, but he's much better suited for an Adelman team than a Popovich team.

[urunobili]

Ginobili, Oberto, Nocioni, Scola.

What could have been.

without mentioning Montecchia who almost becomes a Spur b4 manu...

it seems you need to review your games after he was traded... sounds that you haven;t seen ONE!!!
