we're fortunate it's the preseason but these are the kind of things u must fix before the season starts i'd call theses mistakes deadly and can cost us seeds in the West of playoff losses
That's pretty much what Ariza was, the guy could shoot open jumpers and he could slash, he couldn't create or shoot contested shots (well neither can martin, but ariza isn't the ghost who walks either), we expected too much for a starting line up with a combined salary lower than McGrady.
Chokejob by the Rockets. Good thing it was only preseason. Lee is dumb. 3 mistakes 1) Going for a layup when you're ahead and when you could've dribbled the clock out 2) Running out of bounds when you could've stayed inbounds 3) Letting Marion get an easy backdoor layup.
1) There was a shot clock. 2) There was no time left, refs screwed up. 3) There was a switch, Marion was Battier's man. 0 mistakes. LEE NO DUMB
1) True 2) No, you can see from the replay, there was .3 left at least. Actually, he probably was going to fast to be able to help stepping out, but what more experienced players would do is lob the ball toward the opposite end of the court. By the time it goes out over there, time would've expired. 3) True 1 mistake-ish.. The reason I say -ish is that you guys are forgetting that he actually got that steal in the first place. That was excellent D on his part, so if he messed it up by stepping out, then at worst he goes back to neutral, not negative. In fact, it was a positive play even with the stepping out, because he took more than 3 seconds off the clock.
1. of course there is a shot clock, but dumb lee dribbled it out and was forced to take a off balance layup and hoping for a call(he should know you never get that call on the road) when he makes his mind up to goto the basket ,there is no turning back. if you need instant scoring he might be an okay addition, but hopefully he never starts. as far as bench players goes, budinger>lowry>ish>lee i know ish cant shot, but he gets everyone open easy shots. thats more important than a courtney lee that bulldozes to the rim and misses everytime.

So probably by the time he touch the ball with the foot on the line time would had expire or only 0.1 left what only a tip in have won the game and you don't need to defend a catch and shot.
