I would have thought Ariza would be able to get higher than Scola. But, for the hell of it, I threw in Tracy, since he may be back by the end of the month.
dont think it matters, they still trade off possessions every quarter, dont they? At least this way they'll start playign D almost every game, and will be ready from the tip off
Scola! If he loses the tip no sweat. If he wins (doubtful. He did win one this season though) we get it to one of our guys quick outlet for 2 pts.
In all seriousness, I think Ariza may have a better chance at getting it, but our hopes to win a tip would still be slim to none. I dont think it would really make a difference who took the tip. Hell, lets let Aaron take a tip once just for craps and giggles.
It doesn't really matter. If we lose the opening tip, we get the ball in the second and third quarter anyway. If we're really that keen on winning the tip, then we should probably let Ariza take it.
