[QUOTE=Typhoon]I don't believe you, they are so many Argentinean humanoids......... [QUOTE]
..............and there are so many US Homeroids.
Once I was the champion of Argentina, when I defended Manu...now they want my emnity because I don't defend an ahole and throw my loyalty to our arch enemy.
It's like I've gone from being Evita to Videla overnight
oh... drama
"The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers" book writen by Paul Kennedy could help you, also Hollywood have many good inspirational examples.
Are you showing the white flag?
that wont be a fair bet coze Yao is out.
Eventhough I know the Spurs are a better team tham the rockets are still with Yao,the Spurs also have been playing together for 6 yrs now(tp,td,manu and bruce)
But at the sametime,I know for a fact the the rockets are a better team with Scola tham without him, and the spurs could've had him.
Now,if the spurs don't reapet coze of lack of help in the paint,them this trade will comedown as the worst trade in Spurs History.
I'll do this: I bet you Scola will average 17/8 in stead of 15/8.
Deal now?
You are peculiar. I fail to see what I said that was so offensive...nor am I inclined to spend a lot of time analyzing it.
Fizzar was the original Argie Poster on Spurs boards to the best of my knowledge...it's not about Spurs Talk...he was around before Spurs Talk. I think that's noteworthy...
BFD...I never said they'd be a worse team with him.
Most trades do make teams better...since Scola had never played for the Spurs, I'd say getting cap relief and a draft pick made them better.
The Spurs did have him...and the spurs could've had him.
And like I said earlier...Pop and RC weren't sitting around saying, the Spurs, let's help the Rockets.
But basically...saying Scola didn't make the Rockets worse is miles away from hyping him...lots of players could have made the Rockets better.
Now,if the spurs don't reapet coze of lack of help in the paint,them this trade will comedown as the worst trade in Spurs History.
Dude...if you are talking about offense...not for one second has an additional paint scorer ever been a concern for the Spurs or a reason they lose in the post season, in the Duncan era.
It's not a problem...they have this guy named Duncan, he draws double and triple teams...anyone can score alongside him.
Not for one second has that ever been a priority of the Spurs, something they sought, something they tried to aquire...or something they needed to win a championship.
They need rebounding and shotblocking...Oberto rebounds at a better rate than Scola...and neither one of them can block shots worth a flip.
I'll do this: I bet you Scola will average 17/8 in stead of 15/8.
Deal now?
And what would that prove? Over a limted sample size anyone can score like that...
What happens if they lose in the first round again? Will he have made them better?
You know Dikembe Mutombo? He averaged over 20 points a game his first 10-15 games in the NBA...and he's got next to no offensive skill.
I want the Spurs Rockets bet...Yao went down and the Rockets kept on winning...because they had Scola remember?
Spurs FO are idiots, they gave the Rockets Scola remember?
Scola is great, remember?
Ride with Scola...don't desert him now that the 22 game streak is over.
For it to have been a stupid trade, the Rockets must now be better than the Spurs...they must have given the Rockets to the player with which to surpass them, or at least put them over the hump...to be better than the Spurs, to win an NBA championship...
If neither of those things happened and it was the best trade the Spurs could get at that time...then it wasn't a bad trade. It most definitely was a good trade.
If you don't think that...then you have been ing about nothing this entire season..and my point is proved.

It is noteworthy, but not when you're implying that THAT makes him the ONLY Argie with unquestioned Spurs fan credentials. When you say "The Argentine", the word "THE" implies he's the only one. I'm fairly certain you knew that, and I'm quite convinced you did it on purpose, so cut the bull Whottt.
Always good to have a Fizzzar sighting.
Ehhhh...I didn't really mean he was the only, but I can see wh you took it that way.
I wasn't intending to imply that he's the only Argie Spurfan that wouldn't jump to the Rockets or something...only that he's the one I know for certain was a Spurfan and posting on Spurs boards(all of them)before Manu was actually playing for the Spurs...and he is....unquestionably.

I didn't do anything on purpose...if I do it's pretty obvious...In this case I was just trying to give the original Argie poster to post on a Spurs basketball forum that I know of...credit for being the first, in front of his countrymen in this thread.
Plus it was kind of cool to see he's still around...he first went into lurk mode a looooooooooong time ago.
And he has 3 consecutive Z's in his name....
Deal.
I'll bet against the Spurs just to beat your sorry ass wottt.
But,If the Rockets win,I get to choose whatever I want.
That means:Your gonna have to give up your usermane(wottt) to Scola's .
Deal now pussy?
BTW,I'm gonna need the mods to be witnesses on this bet,so wottt really changes his username if I win.

,
your not alone there.
wottt actually thinks that Scola should've paid his buyout by him self when It was about $9M back in 2005Don't be so hard on the guy, he was just frustrated cause his dream was to play in the nba and he was being fvcked by his agent, his ballclub (TAU) and the Spurs were asking him to get better on aspects of his game where he was very good at. Anyone would have reacted that way, it's human nature.
And something that People don't understand was that The deal Scola and the spurs had was to try to draft him in the 1st round so Scola didn't have to pay no buyout
there was a contract clause in Scola's contract that said that IF Scola got drafted in the 1st round TAU would not ask for a buyout, but if it was the 2nd round whoever drafted Scola would have to pay the buyout full,or Scola would have to do it.
The spurs didn't respect the agreement and went ahead and drafted Scola in the 2nd round.
then this makes perfect sense with his at ude towards the FO etc... i don't like the way both parties handled it.. but now in my mind at least makes sense... i never understood why Luis would be so harsh at all...
manu has a warrior's at ude, just like all other spurs player. Got to love players who hate losing! manu just looks at every game as nothing but a must-win. go spurs go!
THE GUYS ARE JUST TIRED
THEY'LL BE FINE
YOU DON'T PLAY 10 GAMES IN 15 DAYS IN THE PLAYOFFS
Just remember our bet
o course I do,you actually took it when I was beting the Rockets were gonna go past the FIRST round.Just remember our bet
That was a steal for me.
Like I said before,start saying goodbye to that Manu pic you have in your avatar.
Bull and you know ito course I do,you actually took it when I was beting the Rockets were gonna go past the FIRST round.
That was a steal for me.
Like I said before,start saying goodbye to that Manu pic you have in your avatar.trying to change the bet already are we?? The bet was that the Rockets wouldn't make it past the second round jackass. You'll lose

My response
Read it and weep
there is no way in Houston is getting out of the 2nd round. they probably won't pass 1st round.
they may not make the playoffs either...
No problem,let's do the 2nd round bet
But If I win you're gonna have to change your username to Argspursfan_Owns_me
deal?
that was the bet, yes
It's gonna tough to watch scola do good in the playoffs,and at the same time lose a bet with me,don't it Maniac?
Can't believe this thread is at 9 pages
Anything that involves Scola actually has the same kind of interest.
why do you think it got so long?
It's funny how it went from Manu not being able to sleep to Scola.
