Can we please calm down? People are talking like rafer was supposed to become some sort of steve nash, and scola was supposed to become mr. go to guy in his first ever NBA game. CHILL OUT! rafer will always be rafer. and face it, hes the best available fit for this team, no matter how nasty that teardrop is. he hustled and got the offense involved. thats all we need from him(although defense could be better). im a firm rafer defender, unless he starts turning the ball over(another reason im all for rafer) scola will need time to adjust and acclimate to the pace of the NBA game...just give the guy some time. i also saw someone say somewhere that battier didn't play good defense on kobe....hey, he may have gotten his points, but his FG% sure was crap
I wish Rafer would practice hanging and concentrate on that tear drop. It seems like he rush it when nobody is actually around him.
I agree, Rafer is not hat bad, he runs the offense very well (except his shooting). Scola needs some time to adjust ... it's only his first game in real nba. I'm happy to see Bonzi playing well
