One thing I didn't see mentioned but did want to get thoughts. If prior to the Warriors game you knew that Ariza would be going 0-7 from the three point line. Would you have chosen the Rockets to win, or lose vs the Warriors. This is my first poll attempt for forgive me if it doesn't work right.
This is a bizarre exercise in hindsight lol. I would say I would not have predicted them to win if Ariza missed 7 3's. But I would also say that we don't need to depend on Ariza for scoring - we depend on his defense. And his defense was on point.
Eesh some of you guys are rough. I have seen plenty of polls that are more idiotic than this one. Don't like it don't comment. The idea was we do rely on Ariza hitting open 3's. He was not hitting them and we beat a tough warrior team on their court. The idea was who would have thought we could have won there with one of our spot up shooters going 0 for the world. I would have thought it would have taken damn near a perfect game from everyone in order to pull off that win.
My homerism would say yes but if you would of told me Brewer only plays 12min I would of put my money on the Rockets.
