It's going to be cool when Bonner and Scola matchup this season...
Bonner is going to squash him...like a bug, and reign down threes on his ugly ing head.
Gotdamn...Heal outscored every member of Team USA in the 04 Olympics...and this was after we cut him.....and unlike Scola...he wasn't playing with 11 better NBA players.
Man all ya'll for hating on Heal...I bet he could have caught a ball 2 inches away from him against LA in 04.

I justr checked some Euroleague stats...
ing 2 years ago Sabonis was the MVP...this is 60 year old Sabonis that actually died back in 2001.
Oh yeah...you know who ranked second in the Euroleagues in FG%?
Iah Mahinimi.
I didn't know Sabonis was dead.
It's kind of funny how Sanikidze, Javtokas and Mahinimi all played pretty good 2 years ago then all sucked the first year they moved up a level...I'm telling you, they don't just start guys on talent in Europe, for a variety of reason...and among them is that they don't want these guys going to the NBA after they spend a lot of time on them. That'd be kind of stupid to do, you know?
Scola is different...Tau was probably showcasing this guy so they could get the huge buyout for him...they certainly haven't been holding him back. And would probably have appreciated him not choking in big games...
Scola was outrebounded by Splitter this year too...
Over-rated...not worth all this fuss...and I got serious doubt he's even better than Bonner. And I'm not a Bonner fan.
Scola is better than all of the guys you have mentioned. Period. He has been labeled the #1 player not in the NBA.
That ain't by me.
You're wasting your time, arguing about the comparison of Shane Heal.
No comment on that.
I can't believe you added that to your rant.
Rasho's in the NBA...
So is Matt Bonner...
If they weren't...would Scola still be the best player not in the NBA?
Some guys transfer and some guys don't...Scola won't.
That ain't by me.

Hedo...
Rasho?ROFLMFAO
Omg, Bonner is an uncoordinated DORK......please...wake up from your fantasyHe is a sideshow attraction .. he's not the future Robert Horry. He always looks lost and he's clumsy. The pine loves Matt though and there he will reside.
and now he is overpaid.
Matt Bonner has a pretty ugly J, it kind of works for me though.
Not much gets past ya.
My 2 bobs worth. Scola has the type of game that translates well to a Euroleague setting, a slow it down grind against similar size/speed defenders. Hes a one position player, too slow to rotate on to 3's and hes barely 6'9" in shoes with T-Rex arms so he wont be able to man up the Centre. He and Oberto are different players, Oberto can, and is willing to play off the ball and complements Duncan well - Scola on the other hand is only effective with the ball in his hands, how could he possibly fit in here. He and Yao will need to work out a bit of an understanding, they both like to post up on the block but they wont be able to make that formidabble hi lo combo at the 4-5.
Dealing Scola still makes no sense, unless it's counted in $.
Dealing Scola makes a lot of sense, just not to Houston
ok, so that was harsh.

whottt's been a re this past year.
3 years ago he was a solid poster.
i really thought Bonner was out after his knee and the spurs dont bring back injured players ala Antonie Carr.
One year ago, I had mixed feelings about Scola.
After his chocking job in euroleague/acb and the fact that Spurs haven't hesitated to trade him to Houston, I'm even lower on him.
I think that Scola won't be a good nba player. He will be either servicable or an overpaid bust. I think too that Houston would have been better by spending their money on Joe Smith than on Scola.
Reasons why I think that Scola won't be a good nba players :
- Nothing special on the physical end : not big, athletic, quick or strong.
- Won't be able to score in the post like he did in europe against long and athletic nba players. When he was defended by a player with a nba body in europe or with argentina NT, he has struggled.
- Without his low post scoring, Scola is an average offensive player. His jumpshoot is quite inconsistant.
- Average rebounder (it won't be a big problem in Houston given that others players are great rebounders)
- Bad defender. Awful post defender and average at best perimeter defender.
- Don't step up for big games. I don't know if it's because he is a choker or he is a limited player but he has been bad or average during big games these last two years.
- Finding his place in nba. Scola was the star of his team in europe. Tau's team was built around him. Will he be able to be a nba role player and do the blue collar things? Even if it's not the more likely solution, I can see him doing like Spanoulis and wanting to go back in europe after one year. He has a diva at ude.

Fair assessment. My biggest worry always was his size/athleticism and his ability/willingness to fit into a team concept ie deferring to better players.
Wait and see
