Horry is going to take Bonner's and some of Elson and Fabricio's minutes.
I know that way deep inside you would love to have Scola getting Bonners and some of Elson's and Fabri's minutes,but the homerism is stronger tham that.don't it?

I just owned Scola for 26 points and 6 rebs with Bonner on 2k8.
I prefer Bonner.
Funny how you've referred to anybody contradicting you on Scola as homers...
When all you've been doing is singing his praises in 3 different threads.
And what I posted regarding Spurs Dynasty 21's comment in the stickied thread applies as well to you:
I'm just going by the facts:
20 pts in 28 mins, 10/11 FG.
what were Bonner's numbers again last night???
you're gonna have to try harder.
At what, being a homer?
No need, you've pretty much got that award pretty much to yourself.
And like I said, only homers go verbally fellating non-Spur players in three different threads.
.......still waiting on Bonner's numbers last night......
Still waiting on your response: are you a Scola homer or not?
Bonner: 17.9 MPG, 3.3 RPG, 6.5 PPG
Scola: 18.0 MPG, 3.7 RPG, 5.5 PPG
These threads are pointless.

By the way, stating that these threads were pointless after you kept them going? What does that say about you?![]()
not at all.I never said Scola was gonna be an all star player.
But I did say that he could've been a great addition to the spurs,and could provide the team some interior scoring while Timmy is getting some rest.
now...what were Bonner's numbers again last night?
Yes, I have pointless time to waste. I don't mind admitting it.
There is a reason why science uses statistics over extrapolating over a random data point: any given point can give a result you want. It was one game, and making large predictions over it is just dumb. Once T-mac is back, Scola will go back to his usual ineffective self. I predict by the end of the year, Bonner and Scola will have similar stats.
yeah,great point you made.
While Bonner has already 2 full seasons playing the spurs system,and Scola just played his 8th game with his new time in the NBA.
Keep the Homerism at its best,you are doing great.
Again, it was ONE game. Bonner had 15 pts two nights before. Scola had 4 pts the night before. You can't make any observations after a singular statistic.
You are trying to end run toward a very, very faulty conclusion.
Sure as long as you keep up your wet dreams of blowing Scola.
Scola still seems like too much of an international player to me. Most of the foreign players who have thrived in the NBA are more athletic. Tony Parker, Manu, Nowitski, AK are all more the classic NBA type. The international game is more about zone D and outside shooting.
Scola is a better version of Oberto, but he probably can't play the 5 like Oberto. He would be of little use against the scrambling roaches of Dallas (still the main c erion for second line Spurs players IMO).
Scola nails the mid-range jumper which almost no one in the NBA does anymore. That will earn him a niche. But that's also where Duncan operates and Pop likes players (even subs at the 4) who can be on the court with Duncan if need be.
While Scola is much better than Bonner, Pop likes Bonner and not Scola. Unless you're too good to ignore, that characteristic will trump many others in the Spurs locker room.
Scola is so unusual by today's NBA standard that it's hard to predict how well he'll do in the playoffs -- he's a wild card. Like Don Nelson 40 years down the road in a time machine. If he can adapt and learn he'll do fine, but I still don't think he was a good fit for the Spurs.
Link to where I said He was gonna be the best PFs who ever played the game of BB??????
thanks.
Don't confuse ArgScolaFan with an actual, well-thought out argument. He gets easily flustered that way.
Link to where I was accusing you of saying "He was gonna be the best PFs who ever played the game of BB"?
Thanks.
all of this bull about Scola is tiring. Even Bowen puts up 23 every now and then. These Scola talkers are ruining this site. Just shut the up already.
Two things I noticed in this game.
The Rockets played much better than they did in Houston.
The Spurs can't even get a home court advantage. They were just shy of getting jobbed. All 3 of Scola's charges were wrong calls and the Rockets got away with hacking the out of people in the lane. The Mavs got most of the calls the night before at home, is it too much for the champs to at least get the same consideration?
I'm not saying that I don't think he'll bounce back at some point, but it seems like he hasn't been right lately. eh...maybe it's nothing.
I agree...Can't we just let the Scola deal go already? It's done. He's gone, and Bonner is here. Deal.
