Wow, you are a hater extraordinaire...From a guy who worshiped at the altar of Battier everyday, all you got is shooting percentage? That shows that you just want to hate and criticize. Get outta here, man. Ariza has been providing tangible and intangible production on both ends of the court this entire series like he always does in the playoffs, which is why he was a key contributor on a championship team.
No one in the Hornets' starting line up has more than 2 rebounds. Hornets should consider putting Gray on Bynum with Okafor guarding Gasol. The Hornets need a way to get those volleyball type rebounds and that will be their best chance. Late game rebounding is crucial. You can't afford to give the Lakers' bigs the opportunity to get easy points.
Ariza during LA's title run in '08-'09 -- 11.3 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 2.3 APG, 49.7 FG%, 47.6 3PT% (!), while consistently locking down the opposing team's featured wing. He brings it when it matters most.

Battier and Ariza arguments for now mean nothing to me, especially when neither one is around and Battier is providing tangible and intangible production, and even firing off a gamewinner. But there's no way Ariza's better than Lee. I mean, Artest did really in Game 6 against Portland and Game 7 against Celtics. There's no way I would want him over Lee just because of those two games.
Oh man, did you guys catch that halftime segment? God forbid Clyde would leave the commentator's table, but if he does, we could continue the standard of excellence by bringing in Sir Charles. I'm being serious, heh.
Yeah, who needs guys that help you win playoff games and championships? I'd much rather prefer guys who shrink and choke on the biggest stage. Lol, like I said you're a hater.
I think the Hornets should post Landry more often. He did well with Houston, seems like he's not much of a priority in NO.
