Luis Scola: ROY

[whottt]

Oberto
MPG: 20.4
PPG: 4.7
RPG: 5.4
FG: %609


Scola :
MPG: 22.7
PPG: 9.2
RPG: 5.7
FG: %519

Bonner:
MPG: 13.4
PPG: 5.5
RPG: 3.0
FG: %424
3P: %357




Seriously...what is Scola doing that is so incredible? Scoring more points, at a worst PCT, and with more shots than Oberto?


Putting up almost double the stats in almost double the minutes of Bonner?

When Bonner has the better performance as a starter?





What the is he doing that's so amazing?


Nothing....it's routine.

[whottt]

That's right.
It's more avoiding the powerhouse of Puerto Rico in the first round.

Um...knocking Team USA out was where the medal was won...but go ahead, on Manu.


You honestly believe Scola had more to do with that than Manu?



Please just come on out and say it....


Put your knowledge on display.

Now, trading away V-Span for Luis Scola and Jackie Butler was something I was cheering like crazy for when I first heard about it! This is the kind of trade the GM of the Year award can be won on! Ok, before I get carried away, let’s analyze it objectively. Luis Scola is considered to be more talented than Oberto by most scouts, and the Spurs giving him away essentially for the right to send V-Span home leaves me a bit uneasy. After all, this is the Spurs we’re talking about not the Knicks! But based on the upside, the Rockets get a starting 4 who can play the role that Oberto plays for the Spurs. The downside? The Rockets still have 2 big bodies who are taller than Chuck Hayes so how bad can it be? Add having a back-up big man in Jackie Butler to support Deke and I can’t help but give this trade 2 thumbs up.

I can't believe how little the Scola fans know about basketball...truly amazing how new they are to the game.

You're underestimating a whole lot of people saying that.. kind of unfair...

This dude has got nearly a decade of pro experience, international experience, he's at the age of what is traditionally the prime of a basketball player, the height of his skill, he's starting...and yet he's going to get beat out by a 19 year old for ROY of the year.

you know how the hype machine works in the NBA... same reason why Manu is not an all star year after year... pretty> essence..

And the NBA teams are only now attempting to adjust to his game...

he is actually still adjusting to the NBA game...

And it's a joke if you guys want to consider him the reason the Rockets have won 20 in a row...I guess that's means he's better than Duncan, Parker and Manu...combined, because they've never won 20 in a row.

you're generalizing way too much on this one... he is definitively NOT the MAJOR reason of the winning streak... but stilll you should be showing a little more respect to his contribution... all experts along the nation are BUT you mate...

Jordan and Pippen never won 20 in a row.

this is WAY out of context...

So I guess what you guys are saying...is that Luis Scola is the greatest player of all time...go ahead, say it(you know you want to), and then get over it.

He is just the best 4 argentina will ever have... we could argue that he was a choker on his euro career... that i may give it to you since he never made it to be the one making his team the last one standing as Manu did...

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

Spurs FO with another brilliant move


like giving a #1 pick to the Mavs so they can draft Josh Howard, or skipping Barbosa, or ing up on drafting Noc



good ol Spurs FO, but they will always look like geniuses with Duncan on this team

you deserve an Argentinean flag under your avatar!

[whottt]

So you're saying you'd draft Luis Scola over Kevin Durant and Greg Oden?


Too bad you aren't an NBA GM...we'd love you right about now.

he is actually still adjusting to the NBA game...

So is Durant...and he's nearly 10 years younger.


And our goal this season was to repeat as NBA Champs...not break Luis Scola into the NBA.

you're generalizing way too much on this one... he is definitively NOT the MAJOR reason of the winning streak... but stilll you should be showing a little more respect to his contribution... all experts along the nation are BUT you mate...

I'm smarter than most of the experts in the Nation...no .

He is just the best 4 argentina will ever have...

Offer Matt Bonner citizenship

we could argue that he was a choker on his euro career...

We sure could...

that i may give it to you since he never made it to be the one making his team the last one standing as Manu did...

Yeah...this is because Manu Ginobili is a HOF level talent and Luis Scola is a role player. And the reasons for this are going to be pretty obvious eventually...

Because Manu Ginobili has the speed and athleticism to play as a star in the NBA, and Luis Scola doesn't...I don't care what he did in Europe. Matt Bonner was a pretty impressive rookie in Europe BFD...

[Spurs Brazil]

Parker convince Popovich Udrih better than Spanoulis as he play against both before. Spurs wants draft Spanoulis then at this time. They drafts Udrih instead because of what Parker say. When Parker and Spanoulis has the dinner Parker tell Spanoulis this and admit he do so because he remember how Spanoulis play him so good even better than Udrih. He say Udrih outplay him before but he believe he better than him. He admit to Spanoulis thinks maybe Spanoulis better than him when draft happen.

He afraid if Spurs draft Spanoulis at time. He tell him at dinner he not stupid player anymore and with final MVP he know his job. Also he understand Spanoulis play much as 6 man and this role Spurs want. He advise Spanoulis and Popovich very strong keep Spanoulis

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Does person whottt actual believe this say how Bonner better player than Scola or no? Scola have been consider one of best player in Euroleague with Papaloukas.

[Indazone]

Whott's just your typical irrational San Antonio Spurs Fanatic. It's ok, go easy on him. LOL

[whottt]

Does person whottt actual believe this say how Bonner better player than Scola or no? Scola have been consider one of best player in Euroleague with Papaloukas.

So was Spannoulis...and he spent more time on an NBA bench than Bonner...on a worse team.


If bench time = ability for Bonner?


bench time = ability for Spannoulis.


Or else you have a double standard...wouldn't surprise me for a Euro to have a double standard though...it's what you guys do.

[whottt]

Whott's just your typical irrational San Antonio Spurs Fanatic. It's ok, go easy on him. LOL

Spannoulis was on the bench...just like Bonner. How come it's different for Spannoulis?


Because you say so?


It's not statistically...Bonner and Scola both put up about the same numbers per 48, Bonner actually has better stats as a starter, and Bonner has the more imperssive single game peformance.


Because the Rockets won 20 in a row?


Bonner has a championship...


One of those gets a trophy...and the other doesn't.


Ohh...the intellect of a bandwaggoner is so impressive.


It's just so...rare...and insightful...stuff no one but them could ever think of, or dare I say...think well beyond....the elite of basketball knowledge...

if
you
will


Pathetic.

[WalterBenitez]

At this point whottt sparks Scola's thread like Manu sparks our bench

Papaloukas better player than Scola. I think Spanoulis have more ability than Scola he just need keep get the experience. You know Scola start and Papalouks bench player?

I see Rocket writer always still same lie. Scola best player of Euroleague. But the writer in Europe all say Papaloukas best not Scola. Who know better writer from europe or US??

I not understand Papaloukas bench player to and Scola starter. Bench player not mean same thing in Europe. Also Spanoulis bench player in NBA because Van Gundy and him always fight. is Bonner same as Bonzi Wells or Udrih? Spanoulis, Udrih, Wells have problem with coach and in coach "doggie house" what van Gundy call it.

I not know Bonner in Popovich "doggie house"? I think just Udrih was?

So how bench player mean same things for Bonner?

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

Bonner has a championship...

LMAOMAOAMLAMAL @ your dumbass bringing up that point



Darko and Sean Marks also have a chip, so does Tony Massenburg you idiot






nice point you got there

[Indazone]

Spurs trade to get Darko? lol

[whottt]

LMAOMAOAMLAMAL @ your dumbass bringing up that point



Darko and Sean Marks also have a chip, so does Tony Massenburg you idiot

It's got as much merit and relevance as a 20 game win streak backing up your point. And that's all you've got...because statistically, Scola isn't any better than Oberto or Bonner.

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

Spurs trade to get Darko? lol

10x better then Bonner



Horry is still too valuable in the post season

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Bonner have nba champion as player never play yes?

Scola have Spanish championship in 2002 as team best player.

Spanoulis have Greek championship in 2006 as team best player and he get another this year soon.

Not as compare as nba champion but you know Bonner play in Italian league yes? His team I think do so poor in Italian league they go out of business. They lose so many game they relegate for perform poor.

So which better?

Best player Bonner of team in Italian league finish I think last or 2nd last place.

Best player Scola of team win Spain league champion.

Best player of team Spanoulis win Greek champion.

Which you think better?

[whottt]

Bench player not mean same thing in Europe.

I know...but I'm talking about the NBA and what it means here...to you, because that's what happened to Spannoulis, and that's what has happened to Bonner.

Also Spanoulis bench player in NBA because Van Gundy and him always fight.

And Bonner bench player in the NBA because he plays for Spurs.

is Bonner same as Bonzi Wells or Udrih?

When he's not geting minutes? Yeah.

Spanoulis, Udrih, Wells have problem with coach and in coach "doggie house" what van Gundy call it.

I not know Bonner in Popovich "doggie house"? I think just Udrih was?

Bonner has been in Pop's doghouse...just like Beno. Bonner would put up better numbers if we has getting more minutes...in fact, he does put up better numbers when he gets more minutes...in fact, he puts up better numbers than Scola when he gets more minutes.

So how bench player mean same things for Bonner?

If you think there's any guarantee that Spannoulis wouldn't have wound on the bench as much as, if not more, than Bonner if he was on this team....you don't pay very much attention to the Spurs.

[urunobili]

he does put up better numbers when he gets more minutes...in fact, he puts up better numbers than Scola when he gets more minutes.

you are still in love with his non factor so called next Horry Jumper of his.... suck it already.. Bonner will NEVER be close to Scola whottt

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

If you think there's any guarantee that Spannoulis wouldn't have wound on the bench as much as, if not more, than Bonner if he was on this team....you don't pay very much attention to the Spurs.

I see Spurs play point guard of team suck bad. Vaughn? Spanoulis much better at offense and defense. Stoudamire? Spanoulis much better at offense and defense.

Backup point guard both joke player to Spanoulis. You not serious think he bench over them unless in doggie house? Only way bench over such player be in doggie house like Udrih.

[timvp]

On a day Bowen gets suspended, whottt just continues to obsess about Scola.

Lame.

[whottt]

Bonner have nba champion as player never play yes?

Yes.

Scola have Spanish championship in 2002 as team best player.

Spanoulis have Greek championship in 2006 as team best player and he get another this year soon.

Spurs won a championship with Bonner on the bench.


Spurs won a championship without Spannoulis or Scola even being on their roster.


Scola wouldn't have been the best player if he won a championship on the Spurs, and neither would have Spannoulis.

Not as compare as nba champion but you know Bonner play in Italian league yes? His team I think do so poor in Italian league they go out of business. They lose so many game they relegate for perform poor.

So which better?

So you are saying Tau and Panathinaikos would have been the worst teams in their leagues and gone out of business if you replaced Scola and Spannoulis with Bonner?


Is that really what you are saying?

Best player Bonner of team in Italian league finish I think last or 2nd last place.

Best player Scola of team win Spain league champion.

Best player of team Spanoulis win Greek champion.

Which you think better?

I think being on the roster of an NBA championship team is more of an accomplishment than being cut, benched, traded or waived, by teams that aren't.



It's true that Bonner didn't even really have to get off the bench to win his NBA le...


IT's also true that Scola and Spannoulis weren't even on the roster when Bonner won his NBA le.


IOW...they could have just as easily won that le with Scola or Spannoulis being on the bench.

[urunobili]

On a day Bowen gets suspended, whottt just continues to obsess about Scola.

Lame.

he should be setting the tone for us young posters instead of being here i agree... and i tried already to pacify him but he has to have the last post...
