so you think scola didnt think he could compete with "flop berto the defensive turnstyle", "grandpa hipcheck" horry, "stiff" bonner, and "empty headed" elson, thats pathetic, LOL. A competitor like scola know he's better than those guys. Your first description of how he didnt want to challenge TD for the job was better excuse, though it was silly as well because oberto is the weak link. Scola knew he wasnt a center and yao wasnt injured when he went. I'd take chuck hayes, carl landry, mutombo over those spurs anyday.
More likely the spurs use 3 guys for 80% of the offense, anyone else is furniture. If Im scola, I dont want to go to a team like that, either.
