Last Friday here’s what I said about Luis Scola in my Add/Drop post: Luis Scola – 81% – Not to be lost in standard leagues but 81% seems a tad bit high so you shallow leaguers with a deep waiver wire pool, take a look-gander there. If you’d like. I don’t know what Luis ate since, or maybe he read my post and got angry, but the next night he went off for 33/10/2 with 2 blocks and a steal. How do you like dem apples, hecman!? Then on Monday night he posted 24/6/1. Take that, hecman, you damn foo! Then last night he went and dropped 24/4/9 with a block and two steals. That’s 9 dimes to be clear. How do you like me now, hecman! No question mark needed! Um, I like you quite very much Luis but I think I’d sell you high if I could, after all, while I think you’ll remain serviceable, you’re really not great in the blocks department and your career steals per game and free throw are below average. Continue to ride him or try to move him for nice value quick, quick. You’ve been behooved! Here...
