Smart coaches will continue feeding the hot hand. RA doesn't care because Scola only went 2-2 in the 2nd half after going 8-11 in the 1st half. Now, any coach would be calling plays for him and continue feeding him the ball or at least make it a priority. It's not that hard to getting Scola the ball in the post. I blame RA for game 5 loss. He didn't make any adjustments and let AB and RA do whatever they wanted in the 4th.
They are and they shouldn't be. You are WRONG. That's bad way of thinking, horrible. Scola has to something MORE. He makes EVERY open shot.
Another difficult matchup, this time against Gasol. Both guys know each other very well. Hopefully Scola will step up as he did against Portland.
I will check how scola played against the lakers, when they played in spain scola usually schooled Gasol, but gasol was a rookie and he was a proven veteran.

The last two games are the Scola we have now.
Those are great stats, thank you. I do belive that Scola will have a lot of open space as he did against Blazers because the Lakers will either front Yao or double team him so Luis will probably be the open guy.
It is not about scoring inside. Of course, it is better to take it to the basket than to jack up 3s, I am a big fan of that. But we are talking about the most efficient player on the team. The guy is shooting near 60% from the floor and he is taking a lot of jumpers. I don't care who it is, when he is hot give him the damn ball. So far, Scola has been the only one consistant throughout the season and the series of course.
Scola has been amazing. It was unfortunate that we lost Game 5, since he had a such a great game that went unrecognized.
