Scola!!!

[smahmood26]

Please tell me you did not compare Yao and Scola.

I wonder how Scola felt after his first NBA game featured Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady have a private contest of who could put up the most number of terrible shots (Kobe was often triple teamed).

Kobe: 13/32 and 9 missed FTs.

Kobe: 13/32 and 9 missed FTs.

32 doesn't factor in he shot 27 freethrows...

You figure at least ten-twelve more shot attempts where he was fouled.

45 points...on 42 or 44 shots.

No wonder his wrist is killing him.

Everything about him last night looked very odd. Just weird.

So after each good game by Scola!!!, his fans will start a new thread and after each bad game, his haters will start another thread ?

It's just way too soon to decide if Scola will be a bust or not.
I've only watched the first quarter of this game and Scola didn't look good at all (you can blame too his teammates for not giving him the ball) but it's just a very very very small indication that he could be a bust.

He looks much more comfortable tonight, caused a couple of turnovers already

[ducks]

had a decent game but not worth what he is making yet

Good game for Scola in the extended minutes Adelman gave him.

One interesting thing I noted during the game, though:

It might be early in the season, but it's starting to look as if Mutombo simply cannot give the Rockets extended minutes anymore. If Yao gets into foul trouble, the Rockets are forced to go primarily with Battier/Hayes/Scola at the PF/C positions. I think that's an exploitable matchup for the Spurs, especially on the boards.

Scola threads don't belong in the Spurs forum anymore.

He's not a Spur and his existence doesn't really effect the Spurs.

Thanks.

that orange emo signature is freaking fantastic

Thank you

lol yeah Scola is going to be fire for the Rockets in the low post. He's a perfect compliment for Yao and also both of them are familiar with the new high post offense as it is similar to how most FIBA teams play.

I think it was mentioned previously on here that Adelman has a tendency to use the power forwards as backup centers when the primary center is on the bench.
