Manu on Scola and Rockets excerpt from article written in LANACION.com on 07/27/07

Argentina and Canada will play a friendly game this Friday. This time it will be in Buenos Aires in the Luna Park stadium.

It will be in ESPN+, at 21:00 hs Argentine time.

Where are you?

 

Sweet, thanks for the info on the game, think I´ll be able to catch it.

In Mar del Plata. You?

 

In Buenos Aires.

Its been 5 years with Ginobili in the NBA... but the Rockets will get their fair share of fans if they get to final stances with Scola giving an important contribution to the team.

 

I don't see it on the listings anywhere. Is it on the ESPN channels in the U.S.?

 

No, ESPN+ is only for Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay.


Buck Turgidson asked me in which of the sports channels available in Argentina the match will be shown... sorry.

 

Thanks!

 

lol

That should be against the law!


I'm sorry, but I don't have the hardware to do it.

 

By the way, here's another interesting read ( a scouting report on Scola):

Oh man, these sorts of stats just make me more pumped about Scola!!!! Damn Spanoulis and his 22pts against USA, Scola is going to be our missing piece!

 

Mar Del Plata in the winter suucks.

 

Video here

It shows the finals 50 sec. of the 3rd quarter (ScolaScores 6 pts) and the best of the 4th quarter. Very nice moves by Luis and Team Argentina.

You MUST SEE THIS VIDEO!!!

Argentina national team beat Canada at Luna Park 113-83. Luis Scola scores 31 points

 

I think people here just don't understand how good Scola can be. He can literally be a perennial all star. Of course he needs to work extremely hard to attain that. But he is quite talented.

But, geesh, Yao, Scola, McGrady, Battier, Francis is potentially going to be an all-star team.

Battier - Mr. Team U.S.A
Yao - Mr. Team China
Scola - Mr. Team Argentina
Francis - had and may still have all-star talent
McGrady - Ought to be at MVP level


A team based on hard grueling workers. Nobody can question any of these guy's desire. NOBODY!!!

 

Thanks for the video link. I am downloading it now.

That article actually said that Scola scored 17 points in the first quarter.

Lord I can't wait to see all these pieces working together. It's going to be exciting just to see them on the court together.

 

Thanks for the video.... great to see his passing abilities

 

whats his FT%?

 

vs. Canada
FT 5/7

 

I'm happy to help you guys

 

Thanks for the downloads. the thing that allways sticks out for me everytime i watch this guy, he is a accumlater of points. he is very crafty player. can get to the fould line regulary and is a very, very, very smart player off the ball.

He knows here to go to get easy buckets or draw a foul. i think this guy could endup being paul gasol part2. he is certianly gonna have a huge impact.
