ok perfect example...Brewer comes in for Ariza moments ago and scores...Rockets currently on an 8-0 Run in the 1st period. They were down by 8 prior now but Brewer made an immediate impact. I think Mchale finally realizes he needs to go with Brewer much sooner or START HIM instead of Ariza. Now Rox up by 2 17-15 versus being in a HOLE which we've seen in previous games going into the 2nd period.
whoever's to blame, both mchale and ariza have contracts for 3.5 more years…..so we're f'd either way :grin:

He also logged more steals than anyone I can remember in these last two games. Come on Sizzle, Ariza is a G. Don't kick a man while he's down.
Yes Ariza offense is an abomination right now but his D is helping us win games. When his offense comes around, watch out.
Like someone in the gameday thread said, once Ariza makes two shots in a row, he starts thinking he is Steph Curry.
