think the spurs would be interested in Scola? Maybe we can get splitter and filler for him. A starting five of Parker, Manu, RJ, Scola and Duncan would be good. But I'm all for benching Scola. What do we have to lose? Being 9th again?
I think Scoa should come off the bench - but with a little different reasoning.... A) Guys production is dropping, lets give him a few less minutes and hopefully rejuvenate B) Pairs Scola with CLee and PPat with Kmart - limiting our defensive liability C) Pairs Scola with JHill instead of Sam, so maybe Scola can grab a few more boards... D) Gives us a more balanced scoring attack E) PPat + Lowry and Scola + Dragic might work better.... I think its worth a shot... I love scola - but he's goin downhill fast.... I wouldnt start Clee though - keep him in second unit with Scola and Dragic...
I'm so tired of repeating this, so I'll try one last time. Does no one remember that Scola always slumps around Christmas and for about a month thereafter? He's done it nearly his entire professional career, in the NBA and in other leagues. He's acknowledged it, and it's been documented by others. When people cite his "season stats" for this year, they seem to forget that the season started on Christmas, ergo his entire season has been right in the wheelhouse of his annual slump. Give it a rest. Scola will be back to for soon. The end.
