    Great play.

    One word.

    DECISIVE!

    Ariza should always know what he is going to do when he catches. Either he is set and gets off the wide open catch-n-shoot. Or he sees the lane and goes aggressively to the rim. Or he gives up the ball. The less dribbling around he does the more efficient and productive he is.

    Wow, that was a beautiful split the D move by Ariza...he showed more dribbling skills there than he has the entire season. Maybe next game we'll see some Dwyane Wade level moves. ;)

    Actually, the dunk was great, but the dribbling was kind of shaky.

    This might have been Ariza's best play of the season. I've never seen him split two defenders that well before he looked so quick and in control. I also love that he finished with authority we definitely need more of this.

    Love the reaction of those two Rocket fans at the end of the replay.

    He tries to dribble inbetween defenders many times this season, but mostly against more athletic players and that's how he loses the ball a lot.

    Even a blind squirel will eventually find an acorn if it is persistent.
