and you get off mine already too .
Forget Scola! The hottest Rocket forward right now is the second round pick, rookie Carl Landry. Even tho Scola is starting now, last night Adelman put the rookie in his place for the 4th quarter.

"Luis Scola had started and made six of eight shots, but had blown several defensive assignments. So for the final 10 minutes, Adelman went with Landry.
"I thought Steve might be able to spread them out a little bit," Adelman said. "I wanted to give that a try, but I was always going to go to Carl in the fourth quarter. I thought he was really active and really good in the second quarter, so I was going to go to him down the stretch."
"McGrady said. "But he found some open seams, we found him, and he finished for us. He showed everything. He showed the dunks, the little 12-footers, floaters. He was doing it all, rebounding, hustling, going from one end to the other, blocking shots."
This kid is tearing it up every time he steps on the court. They might trade Scola next year for a good guard.
Since we're giving out irrelevant stats, let's look at the fact that Ely's team would be in the playoffs if they started today. Considering the minutes, your stats aren't terribly convincing anway. I must ask, why does anyone give a about Ely's rookie season? The Spurs could have had one or both of them this year. For the money, Melvin would have been the far better choice.
Coze that's the fair and best way to campare two players.
1st year in the league in their new team.
I bet Scola's numbers will be much better next season tham this one,but Ely's numbers will stay the same or even worse tham what they look like right now..
any more questions??
Ely's only two years older than Scola is right now, and he didn't have any pro experience his rookie year. The real reason it doesn't matter is because Ely wasn't a Spur his rookie year. Either or both could have been a Spur this year. This year is all that matters, unless you aren't really a Spurs fan. I can't think of a single reason why I'd take Scola over Ely on this year's team. The things the Spurs need out of Scola are the very things he's not good at.
Yeah,coze the spurs have so many good interior scorers besides Duncan,right?
BTW,Scola's weakest department is rebounding right now,and it is not bad at all.
His defense is better tham what many Experts here predicted it was gonna be,and his low post moves and midrange jumper are money.
Don't get me wrong,he won't be no superstar, but, He'll be a 12/7 guy on the regular basics in the future.

Yes it appear this Landry very strong player better than Scola. But yes Scola still much better than Melvin Ely
Yes, besides the best interior scorer in the league, they don't have much else. Except for two of the top penetrating guards in the NBA. If Scola can't play better defense than Oberto or Elson then he doesn't help the squad, because you can't teach size, which he's lacking. Doesn't mean he isn't a good player, but I'd rather see Scola in a situation that suits him better than the Spurs, for his sake as well as the team's.
His defense and outside shooting are weaker than his rebounding by a long shot. His defense is better than many experts predicted, since many experts predicted he'd have zero defense. The only chance he has of being a 12/7 guy is if he has a chance to start and play significant minutes, something he'd never have been able to do with the Spurs.
I don't think we are THAT far apart in what we are saying. If you are a Spurs fan and a Scola fan you should be glad he's in a good situation, because he wasn't a great fit here.
Not for the Spurs, and not for the money.
If Scola was with the Spurs, Spurs have at least 4-5 more wins
Scola is the favorite player of Chuck Norris.
Yeah, look at all the wins he's racking up for the Rockets.
If Scola was with the Spurs, Spurs have at least 4-5 more wins
If hes that great how come the Rockets are currently in the Lottery Mrs. Scola?If Scola was with the Spurs, Spurs have at least 4-5 more wins
I check the Rocket have 14-5 record in last 19 game.

obstructed view is making a pretty good case... but right now, i'd rather have scola than elson, horry, or bonner. they are all playing like crap right now. of course they have attributes that fit the spurs better than scola's do. but if they're not performing the attributes dont count for squat.
some spurs fans totally discount the argie effect. if scola was coming off the bench with manu and oberto, they'd have a chemistry that would help them overcome their athletic weaknesses. bottomline, they know what they have to do to play together. would they still have bad games? of course, they are human.
but so far out of the three guys i mentioned before, only bonner has a decent ratio of good to bad. we need at least one of them to pick it up because i dont see us going too far with a frontcourt of duncan, oberto finley and udoka.
If Scola was playing next to Duncan, the Spurs would nearly unstoppable. But oops not gonna happen. LOL
Just like Aaron Brooks is unstoppable.
Right now, so would I. The Spurs need some offense, especially from the bench. When Parker comes back, and it's time for a playoff run, the Spurs need size, rebounding, defense, and outside shooting. I'd rather have Elson, Horry and Bonner for that.
Scola is not a Spur!!! Get that through your thick ass heads!Why waste our time about someone who is in our past!?! If you want to talk about anyone it should be Hedo for the Magic!!! He is the for them. scola.
and ST would have more trade threads
calm down, we are still have speedy, malik, beno and rasho out thereScola is not a Spur!!! Get that through your thick ass heads!
