PAO vs Rockets 11th, PAO vs Spurs 13th

[Indazone]

Sadly I cannot find anywhere that the Spurs vs PAO will be broadcast on the 13th. Was there a media blackout or something?

Oh my gosh! Sani!

I forgot he played for this squad. Rock on! I never seen him in person before!

He very good shooter and since Spanoulis not play from injury Sani should get more play time.

So basically...Scola is getting his ass kicked by former Spurs Summer Leaguer and ex Clipper, Mike Batiste.


Sounds about right....

Batiste has been a starter for PAO for the past 3 seasons and has gotten used to beating Scola. He led the Greens with 15 points and was also the leading rebounder with 8 in the Euroleague Final 4 Semi-Finals against TAU, with the opposing PF Scola scoring 6 points.

Batiste has grown up a bit since he played 75 games averaging 6.6 ppg for the Grizzlies.

I'm sorry about Spanoulis being injured but am glad for extra playing time for Sani.

End of the 3rd q
Scola 25 min 17 pts (8/10) 6 reb 4pf

He has nothing to prove against european teams and with that said I expected a good game against PAO..ITs the physical play of NBA that I am interested in seeing him handle every night. I am hoping he stays healthy and can help this rockets team overcome Dallas for 2nd best team in west..

[DOMINATOR]

rockets still need a lot of work IMO.
they seem to run the system smoother with yao.

rockets win 107-70

In summary:

Scola - 17 points(8-10), 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 3 turnovers and 4 fouls in 26 minutes


Batiste - 14(6-10) points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 turnovers and 4 fouls in 30 minutes




I figure Scola is about on the level of guys like Batiste and Matt Bonner.

Except he's not as good of a rebounder as Batiste and get a worse buttclench than Bonner under pressure.

Batiste is center not PF.

[whottt]

Batiste is center not PF.

Mike Batiste:

Height: 6'8 or 2,03

By comparison...


Scola:

Height: 6'9 or 2,06


I don't care what he is in Europe, in the NBA 6'8 is pushing it at C...


Anything else?

Last year Barcelona beat Sixers. Last year CSKA Moscow beat Clippers by 20 points. Two year ago Lottomattica Roma beat Raptors in Canada. Macabbi Tel-Aviv also have beat NBA team at NBA home before.

This year Celtic beat Raptors by 4 points then Raptors only beat Lottomatica by 4 points. Unicaja Malaga beat Grizzlies by 3 points and Grizzlies play starters all to finish game.

Timberwolve only beat Efes Pilsen by 4 points. So far NBA team only equal 4 point better. You compares Panathinaikos to any of these team likie Lottomatica, Efes, Unicaja be like compares Spurs to Timberwolve.

Even though best scorer of team Spanoulis not play, still Panathinaikos team very capable can beat Rocket if really wish so. Panathinaikos much more like CSKA Moscow who beat Clipper by 20 points last year, only Panathinaikos even better team than CSKA, probably so even without Spanoulis.

You were saying? I guess they did not WISH to beat the Rockets.
Yao scores 21 to lead Rockets to 107-70 victory over Pantytacos

Don't tell me about V-Mac being out, b/c T-Mac sat out too...and so did luther head. But, we barely won by 37.

Btw, I am fully aware that I am trash talking about beating the Pantytacos.

[Indazone]

Ouch that was ugly and now Pana has to put that game behind them and play the Spurs. The lack of a really big center didn't help either. Yao and Scola on the front line are really hard to defend against.

[Pero]

How did Sani (Becirovic) play?

I'll add Marcus Fizer's line against the Knicks last night:

34:17 min
18 pts
7-17 fg
0-3 3pt
4-7 ft
12 reb (game high)
3 off reb
4 ast
3 pf
3 to

Maccabi got beat pretty badly, but the former NBA players (Fizer, Terence Morris and Vonteego mings) had pretty decent stats.

[Indazone]

Yep Maccabi got schooled but Real Madrid beat the Raptors.

[ChumpDumper]

The Raptors are just another Euroleague team.

If this is your measurement by which players are ranked, then you sir are a fraud of a "knowledgeable" basketball person. On the level of Bonner. My god, I might of got dumbereerrer reading your post.

If not for Yao and Scola, this game would have been a lot closer. As I said, it's pretty hard for a smaller team to match up now with the Rockets.

Let me add. According to your completely asinine method of determining players value then according to Oct 9ths stats

Josh Howards 18 points, 4 boards, 1 assist, 2 steals, and a 1 block = >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> tim duncan and his 2 points, 4 boards, 1 assist, 1 steal, 0 blocks.


No according to their stats that ONE PRESEASON game, that makes Tim the worst player in the NBA pretty much.


God.

[ChumpDumper]

Well, we have a pretty limited window in which to compare NBA players and Euroleaguers playing each other.

Sue us.

[Indazone]

Well guess we'll see whether or not PAO can regroup and put in a better performance against the Spurs. I still don't expect them to win against the NBA Champions but I expect them to put up a better showing than what they did vs the Rockets. Jasevickieus better put up some pts. I don't know if they have enough time to figure out the NBA rules but 30 turnovers and the fouls were unbelievable. Lots of moving screens and hand checking fouls.
