Raptors’ Luis Scola stays positive through ups, downs of NBA playoffs

Luis Scola is not happy, but he is positive. He is not young anymore, and his shot deserted him in Game 4 against Indiana and he has barely played since. The Raptors are going small; Miami is going small; he is slumping; he does not fit. The long-haired Argentine can bicep curl more weight than any Raptor in history, but he cannot go small.

Desperate after Jonas Valanciunas went down, they tried Scola for five minutes in Game 3, and he looked out of sorts, even rattled. He missed two open threes, committed three fouls, was a minus-13.
