Scola's had more good games in three Olympic outings than Malik had all of last year.
Didn't someone say that Scola wasn't that good and needed to develop his skills to be in the NBA.....????????????
Malik needs to be traded immediately to make room.
I thought you hated foreigners Sequ.
wanna make up your mind wich dumb arguement your gonna make there Sequmoron?
I set my alarm clock at 630 to get up and watch this game.
We need Manu, Scola, Lithuanian Kerr Jr., Duncan and Bowen in our lineup.
Spurs would be undefeated.
you are a dumb sequ.
one day you hate foreigners.
the next day you love them.
find a take and be consistent you ing midget.
If I were him I definitely would be complaining, but he is not complaining, I guess he realizes that Argentina needs his scoring off the bench, he is the one who keeps the score up when Manu, Nocioni and others are resting.Shouldn't Scola be complaining about coming off the bench? Where's the big controversy there?
IMO, not complaining makes him even better.
Angola lost its 4th str8 to Greece 56-88, so hopefully there will be no surprises against teamUSA.
Tpark, although Sequ can be a moron sometimes, in this case he is right.wanna make up your mind which dumb argument your gonna make there Sequmoron?
After the ARG. vs S&M game you came out bashing Scola. Here's your exact quote:
Your impressive conclusion came after watching Scola play only one game.This Scola is not impressive.
He doesn't even freakin start for his own country, but yet this guy is gonna come in and beat out Malik Rose for the first big off the bench>!?!?!??!
Please....
IMO, I would package his rights with another player to get a proven big man, or another good player.
When people pointed out Scola had been the most consistent Argentine player in the friendlies before the Olympics, you said:
.No I didnt see Argentina VS SPain or whatever.
But come on. There was a pre olympic game a couple weeks ago and he stunk there too.
This guy, is not, NBA Material.
For someone like Charlotte or the Clippers? Maybe...
I hope you saw the other two Argentina games they showed on TV and admit you were wrong jumping to a quick conclusion with little evidence to back it up.
By the way, after four games, Scola's stats look like this:
- 2nd highest overall scorer in the Olympics with 19.5 ppg (Manu and Gasol are third with 19.25)
- 1st in 2pt% (75%) :shock
- 2nd in Off rebounds (3 per game)
Other stats are not that impressive, but are far from being mediocre:
- 4.75 rebounds per game
- 2 assists per game
- 1.5 TO per game
- 0.75 ST per game
All this in less than 22 mpg.
And my last point is that almost everybody in this and other Spurs forums wants Scola in a Spurs uniform this year.
intersting stats
by the way I wanted him as spur this year2
guess what, we have no money for him. So it doesn't matter.
That is the reason he is not here this year, not malik not his defense not his rebound not because he sucks. WE DO NOT HAVE THE CAP ROOM FOR HIM. Next year we can use part of the mle on him (unless the spurs get cheap).
Iceman, I know this.guess what, we have no money for him. So it doesn't matter.
I was trying to drive my point home that Tpark's comments on Scola's game are incorrect. And this is proven not only by Scola's stats and performance so far, but by the fact every thread I read about Argentina, here and in SR, posters want the Spurs to do everything in their power to bring Scola ASAP (despite the fact it will never happen this year given the cap situation).
TPark and Sequ both look stupid as .
Though Scola's offensive numbers are impressive in this series, he won't get time on the Spurs if his D doesn't get better and he doesn't hit the defensive glass.
If the Spurs can bring him over next year (2005-06), they should though. He could at least sit on IR and play against NBA players in practice to better his D.
I would bring him over pop got stephen jackson to play d
and some team may want to trade for him
if he will not learn d trade him
some team will just want him for his o
I think he could provide that spark of the bench and give the spurs what rose used to do
the only think is he needs to get more rebounds
but pop will not play him if he does not play d
I don't know why people are so quick to think that his offense in this Olympics means that he can steadily put up numbers in the NBA.
He would have to make a lot of adjustments, even offensively, to get playing time in the NBA.
Anyway, I think the Spurs should eventually bring over both him and Javtokas and see what they can do.
I think people think he will do good
because pop and rc picked him
and they have a good record picking people lately
Yeah, but he would never come to NBA, at least he has some guarranted minutes.If the Spurs can bring him over next year (2005-06), they should though. He could at least sit on IR and play against NBA players in practice to better his D.
his rebounding is not that bad, I mean he is averaging 20 mpg and under Fiba rules the stats are never as impressive as in the NBA, not just for the 48 mpg, the game is faster, a lot more of shoots are taken, thats why there is more points, more rebounds, more assists.
A couple of games in the Olympics and suddenly Scola is the second coming. No surprise that the Hate Malik crowd shows up and starts jocking Scola.
**** you ignorant ingrates.
MB, this is not my case. The whole point of my post was to state that Scola is no scrub. I don't hate Malik. Actually, I like him.A couple of games in the Olympics and suddenly Scola is the second coming. No surprise that the Hate Malik crowd shows up and starts jocking Scola.
Kori, the fact that Luis' defense is not up to Spurs standards should be the least of your concerns. Pop will work on that. Manu's defense improved tremendously when he learned the system.
But Kori, it is not just the Olympics. Scola has been playing above par for the last year in a very compe ive European league.I don't know why people are so quick to think that his offense in this Olympics means that he can steadily put up numbers in the NBA.
Again, all I'm saying is that Scola is NBA material. He is not the second coming. But he is not a scrub. Bring him from overseas, teach him the system and he will deliver.
