Scola, the Champion MVP of the Fiba Americas Chamionship is being used as fodder! I realise he is just learning the NBA game but shouldn't there be a few plays run for him? I am seeing another Spanoulis developing and I think Coach 'A ' won't last long if this happens.
Remember Hayes in his first years? He was a fouling machine. He will get better He is playing to soft because he is getting in foul trouble to quick. He need to understand he going to get Rookie calls, superstar going to get their calls, and he need to understand that Refs chance the way they call the game, sometimes they let everybody hammer each other and don't blow their whistle, and few minutes later you cant eve brief to a player without getting call for a foul. He need to keep playing, and Adelman need to included him more in to the offense. He need to play a little bit more with the back to the basket where he is much better. Laundry will get the same calls thats what happen when you are a rookie.
Prepare to be flamed. Such statements are like contraband. Of course, I totally agree. See "Why Have Reserves." I have never received more hateful responses. I still have no idea why. When the regulars are in a slump, what better time to give the youngsters (or oldsters) a chance. Not like a permanent change. See what happens.
