    so what's your evaluation of scola so far? has he lived up to the potential that everyone thought he'd be? 7.3 pts per game doesn't sound that impressive - how many nba players have that stat? kudos to argentina fans that support their players, but this post is ridiculous. the sperms are on fire and this bag wouldn't necessarily make them better. he'd ride the pine and make a couple of shots, but at the end of the day he wouldn't impact their success enough to overlook the fact that he was asking for a lot of money and a lot of playing time. houston got him cheap b/c he figured out that he wasn't going to get the money he thought he was gonna get. I just don't get this argument - don't get me wrong we'd love to have him.
    Scola is doing ok, but only an idiot would try to say the Spurs could have used him in a game they won without Duncan. Some Argies base their entire self-worth on American basketball fans' opinion of their countrymen. It makes as little sense as saying the Spurs needed Scola to beat the Mavs Wednesday.

    Scola is moving up on the Rookie Rankings. Now rated 6th

    http://www.nba.com/rookies/rankings.html

    Overall Rankings - Week 5



    6. Luis Scola, F-C, Houston
    G MPG PPG RPG APG SPG BPG FG% 3P% FT%
    19 19.8 7.3 5.1 0.8 0.5 0.2 .554 .000 .577

    Last Week: 6 | Drafted: 56 by San Antonio in 2002
    I like the guy that Scola is becoming for the Rockets, serving as an able subs ute for Chuck Hayes and bringing hard-nosed play and tenacity to a team that comes off as soft sometimes. He is the exact opposite of Chamillionaire, who I thought was a big let down when he guest hosted for Xzibit on Pimp My Ride last week. (It's one of my guilty pleasures, OK? Back off.)

    Well,at the very least he would've done something more productive tham what scoreless/defenseless Bonner did vs The Mavs.

    T-Mac said that Scola is a great offensive player. He said that he hustles and goes after the ball and he rebounds very well. What he did say is that because Scola was not part of the Van Gundy defense he doesn't know how to rotate defensively but that the rest of the team is working with him to show him how to do it right.

    Yeah, we all know how well his team does when Scola scores a lot. We would have lost.

    I can't believe we could have signed Jamario Moon...


    You want to rip the FO for something...that's it right there.


    He's going to be the ROY.


    And he was a FA.

    and that passing on josh howard thing. the spurs already have some bigs who can put up 7 and 5 a night.

    Hey what do you know? Bonner played well tonight AND the Spurs beat a slightly better team than the Grizzlies.

    How about that Oberto...


    Too bad Scola and his agent were dumbasses and burnt his bridges with the Spurs...he might have actually had a non-scrub career playing with Manu...might have even won an NBA le.

    Enjoy playing with TMac Luis...


    Sucks to be you...

    You're right, props to Bonner for tonights game. He did play a big part, and hit some timely shots, so he definitely deserves it.

    Although I'd like to hear what some here would have to say if the 32 minutes, 13 points on 41% FG (5-12) and 28% 3PT (2-7), 4 rebounds, no assists, and 2 TOs performance Matt posted today cons uted Luis' second best game of his 4th season in the league.

    This wasn't Bonner's best game...his best game was like 3 years ago when he had 21 points and 12 rebounds...as a 24 year old...


    Scola will never do that...ever.


    Amazing what playing for a crappy team can do for a players numbers...playing with the Spurs(and specifically Tim Duncan) has never been known to improve a bigman's numbers.


    And how many threes does Scola have now?

    I said "second best game of his 4th season in the league."
    Scola will never do that...ever.
    Yup, if all he's managed to post are 20 pts and 11 rebounds, and 20 points and 9 rebounds in the few games he's played as someone who's still adjusting to the league and his teammates, that is conclusive evidence he's never ever going to score 4 more points or grab an extra rebound. Sure.
    Amazing what playing for a crappy team can do for a players numbers...playing with the Spurs(and specifically Tim Duncan) has never been known to improve a bigman's numbers.
    And by the same token, Scola has Yao by his side, who'll also get the first look on offense and better positioning on the boards. BFD.

    And, BTW, how come you set the bar so high when it comes to judging Luis? After all, haven't you just said yourself here
    I just don't know what you guys expect for 2 mil a season...if he was consistent, he'd be making a lot more than 2 mil per season.
    in reference to Elson. You do know that Luis is making less than Elson, right? But somehow Luis has to be sharp and consistent a few games into his NBA career? I'd have to say, for someone so set on bashing him by any means necessary, you sure seem to regard him highly, holding him to such high standard.

    Go ahead and thank ChumpDumper, who couldn't resist the temptation of bringing up Bonner's game in a Scola thread 5 minutes after the game ended.

    I don't set the bar hight when it comes to Scola...you guys do.


    But since you asked...

    Scola is 27 years old and has about maxed out his talent...he's got big minutes, his game is as polished as it's going to go...and his ceiling is low.

    I'm not the one acting like it's the worst trade in history...you guys are.

    That means the bar is high...

    Our job is to win a le...not break Luis into the NBA and watch him grow into a back up defensively challenged PF.


    And FWIW...I like Elson better than Scola.


    We already have a Scola...his name is Oberto, and he's better.



    And BTW...Duncan > Yao...he kills his sidekicks numbers better than Yao. Duncan made a scoring champion Center into a defensive role player...Yao could never do that...will never do that.

    No, I'm perfectly fine with it. Unless, of course, someone complains how the subject is conveniently brought up when it suits them (like after a good game by Luis), while they do the exact same thing when it suits them (like after a good game by Matt). Then it'd be kind of hypocritical, don't you think?

    Scola is already close to his ceiling as far as his abilities go. But that has also been the case for most Euros who joined the NBA, and they have pretty much unanimously improved leaps and bounds. That is because you still need to adjust to the league, the rules, the teammates, the life style. Something you can't say for Elson or Bonner. You can't not be a homer and fail to realize that.
    I'm not the one acting like it's the worst trade in history...you guys are.

    That means the bar is hight...
    Surely you don't mean "you guys" as if I ever said anything remotely close to that... right? Because I haven't. EVER. I do believe Luis is much better than you give him credit for, and that he would have been a worthy addition to the Spurs. And call me crazy, but I don't think he needs to prove he can carry the Rockets on his shoulders to a winning record to do that. It's you who acts like it.
    Duncan made a scoring champion Center into a defensive role player...Yao could never do that...will never do that.
    Yeah, that had nothing to do with aging and a screwed up back. Sure.

    Are you kidding me?

    I was the only one who has believed in Scola this entire time. When all of you deserted this thread I was here saying what pussies you were and Scola would be ok.

    I am easily the most consistent Scola supporter on this board.

    Scola.....come on argies, you are always thinking that you are the best. Scola is just another player, like Nociony, Ginobili, and the rest.
