Scola thread!
Luis has failed to respond when it mattered. The greatest boondoggle trade in the history of the NBA? Perhaps RC knew something after all.
It is apparent that Scola can not make his own offense without a stud beside him, and he definitely is not any kind of irresistable force on defense. A nice player, but not worth his contract. For that money Houston could have done better.
Did you see him play? he did pretty well. what do you want him to do? to carry the team in his rookie season?
Welcome, RC
P.S.
Yeah Scola choking in the playoffs isn't exactly shocking knowing his Euro history.
That offensive foul he picked up that robbed Houston of a late, game-tying three may finally end up being the beginning of their season's end.
Dropping one home game is bad enough, but dropping both is like a death sentence.
I still would've liked to see him on the Spurs...but this helps.
He's done alright when I have seen the games. Definitely a good offensive threat.
Yeah, he's a known choker. I'll never forget how bad he played in the Olympics (the most important tournament of his life) he sucked so m... oh wait...
...I forget that sometimes you like to talk just because you can.

SCOLA!!! (sucks)
Did you miss the word "Euro"?
Didn't he have some other guy on that team who won them the game.
The olympics took place in Greece![]()
I'm happy with Kurt Thomas and Oberto.
Scola would have gotten abused by Shaq and Amare.
Still, would like Scola as another backup since Horrys not avail.
He was the leading scorer for that team, so i don't see how could he've choked
I want to give Scola some props for bringing his best game despite being a rookie and unexperienced in the NBA playoffs playing with the Rockets. This is his first yr in the NBA. First playoff experience and lured early into the responsibility too early for not having Yao alongside him to learn the game.
Mehmet's foul on him late in 4th was bad. I don't know if it was considered flagrant but that was bad.
If they lose this match, I'll feel sorry for TMac for not winning (again) a playoff series. He signed here for Yao and now he's alone carrying the team on his shoulders.
What game did you see? He played well, in fact he was one of the reasons that the rockets stayed close in the 4th. You mean by that off foul? It was a flop by ak47.
He is known as choker in Europe. This nothing new. He belong on Rockets with T-Mac. Made for each others.
hmmm.....
4-11 FG 6-10 FT 5 reb 1 A 3 TO 0 Steals 6 fouls 44 minutes...good stat line?
Oh wait let's check Saturdays game.....
6-15 FG 2-5 FT 13 reb 0 A 2 TO 2 Stl 5 fouls 37 min...... not bad on the bds, but he is shooting for a stinky percentage.......cannot make his own game...role player
didn't say he wasn't a 'nice' player........but definitely not worth the percentage he consumes of the cap.........
oh yeah....Houston doesn't care about the cap.
you're ing re ed.
Try to look at the game instead of the stats. the bad fg % is 'cause he's the only rocket fighting for offensive rebs and tapping the ball against five guys.
Look at the minutes he's played do you think that if he'd be playing so bad, Adelman'd give him so much playing time?

id love to have a player on the spurs who can score 14 on an off night
WTF are you guys saying he can't score by himself? I have seen the dude school some guys 10 feet away and get layup after layup.
The people who look for every fault and blast him for it are as annoying as the people who love this guy.
So he shoots in the 30% range and thats not choking?
The scola homers reach new lows.
No, your stupidity has reach new lows
I don't know who is more of an idiot. The people here that obsess about Scola doing well on the Rockets, or the jackasses that obsess about him doing bad...
Truth is, this obsession can no longer be attributed to just the Scola nut huggers. No longer can you idiots use the excuse "I'm just tired of Scola homers bringing this up". Its become quite clear that the idiocy is shared now.
by the way, this thread is called a "premature ejaculation" thread. What if Scola does well in the next game of the series? The next chapter of this epic saga of stupidity will unfold, and most likely no one will eat the crow they so richly deserve.
Roxs is going to be swept man.. mark my words
