    USA is the best basketball team in the world. I root for Argentina but I know from the start USA is going to win. USA won as predicted, Ginobili got hurt and only scored 2 points. The most interesting thing of all is Scola scoring 28 points with 11 rebounds against extremely stars loaded USA team. Scars from Rockets trade and "expensive contract" set in again. If only if only....just my feeling though,nothing else....

    i used to bash scola a lot, but that dude can ball. hes never going to be an all star or anything, but a very solid PF in this league. he plays hard, physical, and has heart.

    The Scola trade will never make any sense at all, no matter how you see it.

    I'd say he has a lot of skills too, not athletic ones, but basketball wise the guy is like an encyclopedia. Always knows when to turn, what lanes are available, when the double comes, how to locate the ball in traffic.

    In a way he is like Duncan, he wins with his intelligence, not his athleticism. He'll be around the NBA for a long time I think.

    1. Scola's team got owned...seriously, scoring a bunch of points in a blowout isn't that impressive. It wasn't like Team USA was focused on stopping him, and he scored on broken plays or defenders going to sleep. That's not truly a dominant player. It's Oberto with a scoring touch. Oberto, like he has been every time I have seen him play with Scola, was the much better defensive player.

    2. I've seen Scola put up points early in big games before, always, always, coinciding with a choke in the final minutes if the game is close. The Spurs saw this too, because it's what defined him in Europe...that was what made him tradeable, that was what lead to them not categorizing him as a championship caliber player.


    He's not the difference in a championship...and Splitter was better.

    No you stupid ...it is not. Lots of guys have had similar games against Team USA throughout the years. If you'd been a basketball fan prior to 2003 you'd know this.

    Scoring points when your team is getting blown out is meaningless...100%.

    whottt, I saw the game somewhat differently. I saw an outmatched Argentine team without their leader on the floor most of the game, make a good effort to get the game back to 6 just before halftime before the fortunate call Melo got for the foul instead of a block. I saw effort from Scola among bigger players that was similar to the energy that Malik Rose used to bring. At least Scola was able to convert in among the players and the contact in the lane and effort for 2nd chance points.

    This time, Argentina was over-matched with or without Manu or Scola.

    Tell you what...you stop disgracing the Spurs by putting them in your name, change your name to ArgRocketFan or ArgArgFan...change your team to the Rockets, or even better, "any team wth an Argie on it" or perhaps "Argie point totals are more important than wins"....and I'll shut up about Scrubola.


    It's up to you...

    Not to mention Butler.

    It's too bad that that to get rid of this looser Scola guy, that got owned yet again today by Chris Bosh, the Spurs had to get rid of a precious asset such as Butler.

    Not even Howard....
    I hear you....I just want to add that judging from the way they play they try hard to play D all the time because they want to win with highest margin possible....and they got TAYSHAUN PRINCE which is a defense specialist. I saw Lebron Jalmes blocking shots and racking rebound, in my opinion LBJ is underrated in defense although i understand his main talent is offense and athletic ability. Kobe also improved in defense although not significant. I know they dont put all defense specialist there, but I think its proper to give Scola credit for what he done today. After all its difficult to put double double against an All star team.
