Official Bet to Whottt on Scola.

[ArgSpursFan.]

I tell you what,Wottt.
If I win,you just have to admit in this forum that I was right and you were wrong about Scola,no avatars or pics changes
If I win,you choose whatever you want.
Deal now?

[whottt]

I was against the trade. You liked the trade ... until your recent flip flop and now you're scared of Scola's rockets.

What makes you think I'm afraid of Scola's Rockets?


Predicting they'll make it out of the first round = being afraid?


Great logic there...


I still think Adelman's a choker, as is TMac, as is Scola...I just don't think it'll equal a first round choke.

Still no link?

I know I reaffirmed it not too long ago...probably in the Scola thread.

[ArgSpursFan.]

lets see.................
vegas tourney without Manu,chapu,Oberto,Sanchez,Herrmann,Volskowinsky etc etc etc..............


yes,He's been there and got it done.

[whottt]

Your telling me the reason Scola makes a basket is all thanks to Rick and has no dependency on Scola's skill set at all?

If Scola get DNPCDED you think he'd be making baskets?

You're watching some type of basketball.

I want to know what you're watching...because the last player coach I think was Bob Cousy in the late sixties...

If Scola gets minutes his production will be in no way shape or form related to Adelmen. It's because of his skill whether he will produce or not. Which leads Adelmen to playing him more if he plays good. So in fact it's Scola who ultimately controls his minutes and touches.

So you just lead me on to my same response the reason Scola gets minutes is because he can produce. A player is ultimately the decider whether or no he will get minutes based on how they can produce. It's pretty simple Scola is a good player so he gets minutes. The part in bold is just some ing nonsense that makes no sense whatsoever.

You mean like Beno Udrih got minutes because he can produce?



Someday, you'll watch a basketball game...and this won't happen to you again.

[hater]

Scola is a dominant force!

Yeah it's pretty simple Beno couldn't produce in SA with the given minutes and that's what Pop wanted from him, plus Beno also had horrible work ethic an extraneous factor. Give Beno 30 MPG and bench Tony Parker and give him the shots he recieves and he will be the same in SA as he was inSacto, but Pop will never do that.

I know what your point is that in Rick Adelmens system Scola will score, but it takes skill and a good player to score and that's what Scola is a good player.

Scola is the !

I've always been against the trade. Scola isn't South American Tim Duncan or the best second round draft pick of all time ... but he's pretty damn good and better than what the Spurs got for him.

my bad I thought u were one of those that told us "STFU Scola is a scrub!"

[diego]

i've held off the scola discussion because i think for a while now, both argspursfan and whottt have been blinded by their feud, most people have moved on regardless of whether it was good or not... there is still a good while to go before you can really judge a decision that was made with the future in mind.

but if we're going to talk basketball, scola's scoring has been turned down in volume and effectiveness but he has been a much better rebounder than most everybody expected. whats more important is that he plays hard- sometimes stupid, but almost always hard. for a stretch of the season bonner, horry and elson were all giving us next to nothing, and the thought of entering the playoffs with elson or bonner looking at 15 minutes in the playoffs looked a lot worse than having scola's energetic roleplay- his use would probably be more limited for us, and you have to give adelman credit for allowing luis to play through a lot of bad games where he was most definitely lost and confused on the court. but it looks like he already turned a corner, and i'm going to throw some wood on the fire and say that whottt should have taken this bet the first time without flinching!

[ArgSpursFan.]

see wottt??
you're a p*ssy.

[timvp]

ROFL @ reaffirmed it. More like "oh damn Scola's on a 17 game winning streak". But yeah, either link would suffice, I guess.

[ambchang]

Reading ArgSpursFan's posts is like talking to someone on crack.

People on crack are this bitter?

He wasn't on a 17 game winning streak when I said it...I said it when Yao got injured.


And giving Scola credit for that 17 game winning streak is pretty ludicrous...unless you think Scola is better than Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili combined.....I mean, they haven't won 17 games in a row this season.


Have they done it once? Maybe once....


So you are Scola is better than all 3 of them because his team won 17 games in a row?



It's Adelman...his teams are notoriously streaky like that...and they usually go on one of those streaks when a key player gets injured...they used to do it all the time when Webber got injured.

I think Lenny Wilkins was a player coach when the Sonics won a le in the 70's...

ok,This thread is going out of hands now.
nobody said the 17 winning streak was thanks to Scola,Basketball is a team sport.
Now,Are the Rockets better with Scola starting,getting minutes,getting used to the NBA rules and gettin touches by his teammates???
that's the question you should ask to yourself.



BTW,the answer is YEAHHHHHHHHHHH.

[ArgSpursFan.]

I gues you're not taking the bet wottt.
Maybe you just wanna play safe this time.
You already had too much in the Official Scola thread .

[remingtonbo2001]

better than what the Spurs got for him.

Is Splitter added into this equation?

How do we know that Scola would fit into Pop's scheme?

Beno didn't, but he was certainly a talented basketball player (I'm stretching it a bit).

I LOVE your game analysis timvp, but I'm going to have to agree with Whottt on this one.

I'm with you on this...
