    I only caught the end of the 3rd and the whole 4th.

    Scola ran off first 5 or 6 points in the 4th including a nice back door cut that was reminiscent of Adelman's offense in Sacramento.

    He was pretty active, but whoever mentioned about his moving picks was right. He only sets them for a split second. Not sure if the NBA refs will let him get away with that.

    Yes, in FIBA basketball moving picks are not always called by the refs. He will have to adjust.

    How often did Dalembert go against Scola,and was Luis able to score easily against him? I know FIBA is more of a team game rather than one on one play but it would be nice to know if he did well against a good defender.

    I don't remember if Dalembert defended Scola or not. But I did see Scola trying to defend the post and a couple of Canada's bigs took him to task. Canada ending up making a mini run and got it down to 12 or 14 before Argentina pulled away.

    Scola is going to have to rely on his hustle and smarts on D. IMO, he doesn't have much else going for him on that end of the floor.
