    Oh, I see.

    I never knew Ariza played the same number of minutes as Harden. Very astute comparison!

    My eye test tells me that Harden is way better than Ariza.

    If you've actually seen both Ariza & Harden play extended minutes, and still think you can non-chalantly compare the 2, then I fear you should see a doctor.

    Coaching really needs to let Lin be primary ball handler and ease the pressure off Harden. That way maybe Harden will have enough energy for defense and the overall team can be a cohesive. Sigh.

    Ariza can't create his own shot.

    Pulled blinds closed.
    Turned off lights.
    Locked door.
    Closed up shop.
    Move along ...nothing else left to see here.

    Ariza has played for six teams. I guess teams really think he's good until he plays for them.

    I think there is more to this than meets the eye... If you rearrange the letters from Ariza you spell Harden. Obviously not a coincidence, great catch tehGlide

    OP just put the two statlines next to each other. Funny to see people get defensive for no reason.

    In this case, proximity implies correlation.
