+1, and that was against INDY, a bottom-feeding EC team.
and Bonner is worth $3M per year?

Yes, actually.
Bonner being overpaid doesn't make Scola less overpaid.
I was against re-signing Bonner even with a min contract.
newsflash: most NBA players are overpaid.
Even if he is the worst defensive bigman in the league, which is a stretch since we have players like Bonner around. His offense and hustle, in this league, earns his paycheck.
lol with yaos situation scolas gonna ball this season and unfortunately as spur fans well never hear the end of it
How many championships have the Rockets won with Scola? Yeah, that's right.
/thread x 2
No way the Rockets make the playoffs with Scrubla as their main bigman.
Rockets are going to the playoffs, I have no doubt about it.
How much would you like to wager? We can do real cash or vBookie cash...whatever you feel more comfortable with.
Scola's post game is a thing of beauty. He doesn't rely on a bit of athleticism. It's all footwork and touch around the basket. You gotta love that. I remember during the 2009 playoffs Scola was abusing Odom on the block despite Odom towering over him with those long arms.@ the Spurs for giving him away for magic beans and pissing away a good 3 years of solid contention with this guy manning the paint with Duncan. Instead those dip s overpay for Bonner and R-Jeff... have mercy
Don't hog it all, I want some of that action, DeadlyDynasty
Some fans will never let this one die..
f that, I personally will never let this one die completely. It's almost as bad as the Red Sox letting go of the Babe.
Let it go already. Everyone knows getting rid of Scola was a mistake so drop it already. I don't see what good any of this does. If you like him so much than go be a ing rockets fan. As Raheem Morris would say "stats are for losers"...
I hope you're joking.
I'd revisit that quote at the end of the year when the Bucs are 7-9
To be fair with the Rox, for non basketball reasons (big money) they are forced to play 2 different styles of basketball on back to back nights. And their coach seems very lost about it.
I got to watch both games, and against LA they were avoiding posting up Scola until the 4th quarter, going into Yao, Brooks and Martin a lot more. When the fourth came, they wenīt to Scola and he scored in 6 of 7 times they went to him. They had used Yao for defensive purpouses only and would have won that game. But you know you have to give Yao the ball if you want the money he gets you.
Against GS they went onto Scola from the begining, and after starting 2-8 he went 12-16 the rest of the game. Of course Martin and Brooks combining for 9-30 shooting and letting Ellis and Curry go 30 of 40 didnīt help either.
But in their defense playing with Yao the night before didnīt help on many aspects, aside from being better defensive on SOME plays (non pnr defenses mainly), we cant say Yao stopped Gasol at any moment, and we cant say he was a force inside (4-11). Yet they were forced to play a slow peace with Yao in, completelly ignoring Scola (which i think is their most efficient scorer as of now) just to see Yao brick every kind of shots, and then go to an up-tempo, where Martin and Brooks combined for 37 points when Yao was out.
Of course, in the clutch, they went to Scola and he scored, but having a coach with guts to put everyone in place in that team and you have a pretty good one.
Specially if you make Yao to focus mainly on the defensive end, having a touch here and there on offense, and keeping the ball as much as you can away from Brooks who is like a teenager Tony Parker with lesser penetration skills.
What's the point? He's gone and never coming back. Whining about it won't get the Spurs any closer to a le..
That's a beauty, right there.
In the five pages contest, this is a gem.
Don't ruin the "logic".
Let the thread flow the way it is meant and entertain us all, please.
Thanks.
Shhh!Scola's post game is a thing of beauty. He doesn't rely on a bit of athleticism. It's all footwork and touch around the basket. You gotta love that. I remember during the 2009 playoffs Scola was abusing Odom on the block despite Odom towering over him with those long arms.
Who making occasionally 36/16 wouldnt be fine ? Scola is paid what he deserve. Look at freakin Bynum
It's the juiciest bet I've come across yetDon't hog it all, I want some of that action, DeadlyDynasty
