Just a horrible game by Trevor Ariza - poor handling skills will always be his achilles heel. Aaron Brooks should also take some of the blame. I'm slowly losing confidence in him. Poor basketball IQ and defense doesn't help. Collison just tore AB up on offense tonight. Great games for Bud and JJ. I think Kevin Martin will turn it up.
Goodness... it is painful to see us get lit up by 'back-up' point guards two nights in a row. I am impatiently waiting for the time when K-mart gets inserted into the starting lineup as the 2 and Ariza (and Battier) get pushed to the 3.
LMAO...that is so funny. The haters are going to murder you! I think Rick Adelman is on his way to Tmac hate once everyone gets tired of his stupid lineups....that is unless their real plan is to tank for a higher draft pick!
JJ can really play! give him more time like today. he was more impressive that martin was in this game and the last one. funny how we trade for martin and Bud's minutes probably go down but he's been out playing him. hope this guy martin steps his game up. he looked worst tonite.
I cant wait until they practice and incorporate martin into the offense, he should then get AT LEAST 15 shots a game this game was all around horrible but the deal sealer was that 3 by ariza with a minute and some change left, it was an idiotic shot
Why doesn't JJ dunk? He's nearly seven feet tall and tries to roll the ball into the basket. He's right there. Jump, bro, jump.
Martin needs to man up and just rip the ball from Ariza hands from now on. Ariza has no business jacking up threes in the finals minutes of games.
For Brooks to be a pretty good FT shooter he misses some near the end of games that are close. Never 2 though.
Now that Lowry's injured, there's no one to mask/dampen Aaron Brooks' weaknesses. With K-Mart, we really don't need a scoring PG in our lineup. We need a PLAYMAKING PG, one that can set up the other guys for shots. Lowry needs to start and Aaron Brooks needs to become the 6th man off the bench.
They gave Ariza the green light, and I had a feeling no matter who you add to the team, Ariza feels entitled to continue taking ill-advised shots. As far as Brooks is concerned, not surprised he doesn't pass Martin the ball b/c he's a SG and NOT a PG.
