    Maybe coming off the bench will do him some good to get his confidence back in shooting

    He had a solid first half. Want to say it's a mix of bad shot attempts and poor shooting form.

    He can honestly pass on half of those 3 point attempts, the pass might be in rhythm but he still has a man on him most of the time.

    Dayum. Yeah it's truly epic. On D he's amazing, but when he clanks wide open shot after shot......sigh. So bad.

    Threeza is Richie Baumer:

    under 50%? he cant even get above 40% from the field. since nov 12 he's had not one, not two, but...THREE GAMES where he shot 40% or better. one of those games was 41% and the other two were 40%. look at his gamelog http://espn.go.com/nba/player/gamelog/_/id/2426/trevor-ariza

    he's having a historically terrible shooting season. 35% from the field, 31% from three. and when you look at his averages month to month, they dont get better. he might be the only player for awhile to shoot under 30% from the field and three while averaging over 10 shots a game. why the hell isnt the team working on this? this isnt a 5 game slump this is a season long slump. has he been taking shooting lessons from rafer alston?

    Every time Ariza takes a 3, I cringe.

    Rockets also have 3 players in the with the worst EFG% with 100+ FGA.

    The worst player is Papa, 10th worst is Ariza, 20th worst is Smith

    No it isn't. You may have expected him to be bad, but no way you expected him to be worst player of all time level bad, worse than he's ever been type bad.
