Scola is that caliber.yeah they never helped get a ring to sa never
I like Javtokas: he runs bikes.
The Scola thing has been going on for quite some time.
Make it or break it.
Make no mistake, he is no Oberto.
Spurs need to focus on the Suns and Mavs in 2007, and Scola is perfect to play small ball.
He'll limit Novitski.

So who needs to work on his game?
Scola
or
Buford handing out 7.5 Millions (dollars, but still...) to Oberto?
Spurs need whoever they can try out.
Probably he can´t limit Nowitzki too much (who can?), but Irk can´t limit Scola, in the +- situation, this is a great thing
If we have TD and Scola in the field, and the other team don´t play defense, we can score 50 points between both
Yeah, poor rebounding and trying to outscore your opponent while shunning defense wins championships.
Poor rebounding with Tim Duncan as the Center?
We are talking about to limit Nowitzki
I saw Scola playing and if he play one on one with Irk, he´s not going to loose so Far, because is better than Dirk in Defense and a little less in Offense
Check this answer of Alvaro Martin, of ESPN Basketball in Spanish
Traslation: AproximatelyDiego (asu-Py): Un gusto saludarlo Don Alvaro!, lamentablemente no va a poder ser de nuevo una dinastia mi queripo equipo tejano, pero bueno, mirar para adelante. Solo una pregunta, a ver si me puede graficar esta idea que me da vueltas en la cabeza: fue POP el que se equivoco en la serie contra MAVS? Jamas los SPURS jugaron de esa manera, olvidaron su identidad, la defensa, y juagamos al ritmo y segun la propuesta de los de Cuban! para mi el error mas grande vino de el, y no de los jugadores, q dieron todo de si... una verguenza deportiva encomiable! Saludos a Coach Morales.
Alvaro Martin: Estimado Diego y paraguayos: sorprendio que Popovich no insistiese, por sus decisiones de personal, no emplear una alineacion mas alta. Nesterovich y Mohammed nopueden marcar a Nowitzki eficazmente. Popovich penso que Horry resultaria un facsimil razonable, pero no fue asi. Creo que este desenlace y esta realidad acelerara la llegada de Luis Scola,que puede emplear a Nowitzki en la defensa y comprometerlo con faltas, al mismo tiempo que puede dificultarle la importante labor anotadora. El reto que presenta Nowitzki,como rival de division y de conferencia, es la prioridad numero uno de San Antonio.
Alvaro Martin: Dear Diego and Paraguayans: I was surprised that Popovich did not insist, not to use a high alignment but. Nesterovich and Mohammed cannot defend effectively to Nowitzki. Popovich thought that Horry would be a reasonable defender, but was not thus. I believe that this outcome and this reality at the same time accelerated the arrival of Luis Scola, who can use to Nowitzki in the defense and jeopardize him with Fouls, that can make difficult the important scoring work to him. The challenge that presents Nowitzki, like conference and division rival, is the priority I number one of San Antonio.
Very impressive.

I've watched the end of the third and the fourth quarter of this game and Scola was good. Barcelona double Scola in the post, Scola did some nice assist and hit some midrange jumpers (16-18ft). His rebounding was quite good too.
Javtokas this year, Scola the next, and Mahinmi whenever. Can't wait.

The "undersized" Scola was the Max Rebounder with 8,
...De todos modos, el primer cuarto fue muy igualado, aunque sirvió para demostrar básicamente la enorme superioridad de Luis Scola bajo los tableros.(Trsl: the enormous superiority of Luis Scola under boards )
...Todo apuntaba a que el conjunto de Dusko Ivanovic tenía encarrilado su primer triunfo de la temporada ante el TAU Cerámica, pero el cuadro de Velimir Perasovic protagonizó en el arranque del último periodo un parcial de 0-13 lo metió de lleno en el partido (69-69, min.34).
Hansen, al que los jugadores del Winterthur FC Barcelona no habían cargado con más faltas, intentaba remedar a Navarro desde el perímetro, y tanto Luis Scola como Tiago Splitter recuperaron el dominio en la pintura.(Trsl: and as much Luis Scola as Tiago Splitter recovered the dominion in the paint)
El TAU Cerámica se puso por delante al aumentar el parcial a un 0-15 tras una canasta de Scola y tuvo que aparecer Juan Carlos Navarro para poner fin a la sangría, aunque desde la línea de tiros libres y fallando el primero de los dos lanzamientos de que dispuso.
Ese primer punto del Barcelona en el último cuarto dejó las cosas en un 70-71 a falta de menos de cinco minutos para la conclusión y con el TAU Cerámica lanzado de la mano de Luis Scola (Trsl: TAU sent of the hand of Luis Scola )hacia el 3-0 que finiquitaba la eliminatoria.
If Barcelona can´t stop Scola, with doubles of 1 Man of 6´11" and other with 7´11", i don´t know how can Irk stop Him
a and Marconato are too slow and unathletic to handle Scola. When they didn't double him in the post (maybe one or two times in the 15 minutes I've watched), he schooled his opponent quite easily.
7'11"? that's one big boy... :p
7´1" Sorry
BTW, I don't get why you are all so low on Scola.
I think that this guy can really help us next year : Scola at PF and Ducan at C is a very good frontcourt.
A Duncan/Scola/Javtokas/Rasho/Horry bigmen rotation will be huge next year.
Sign Scola
If the price is right bring him on down. I'm impressed that his shotblocking numbers are up among other things. He's no Ben Wallace but it looks like he's at least working at it.
You go with Scola if you can't get a, say, Reggie Evans. Then you hope that Javtokas can board better than Mohammed/Nesterovic (not a high threshold, but still). Maybe you also hope that Scola can board well too.
I go with Scola over Evans without an hesitation.
Good, then he gets the Oberto deal. The team needs a backup 3 and we might be able to snag a Ju Jones for $3 mil or so starting salary.
Javtokas+Scola+Jones wouldn't be bad.
Scola's one dimension > Evans' one dimension. I just see zero upside to Evans.
I don't have a problem with a big who is intent on rebounding no matter what. Scola would've been better than starting power forward Michael Finley, I will say that.
