trevor should just drive to the bsaket and draw fouls if his shot is not falling. no matter how bad he is at creating his own shot. just drive, drive, drive, make the pass, or attempt to shoot the lay-up until your shot is not falling.
I got a fun fact for you guys about Trevor Ariza's shooting ability. Trevor Ariza hit 61 3-pointers in 08-09....after hitting only 9 3-pointers in 229 games prior. Re-read that again, and let it sink in.
Dont know if anyone mentioned this, but I think he needs to be sat down from starter position so he can get a wake up call, i understand a shooting slump, but missing FT's there really is no excuse.
He should really stop taking 3s. He is obviously in the midst of a horrific slump, and you are not going to get out of it from beyond the arc. I say until he shoots over 50% for 3 games in a row, NO 3s.
RA definitely favors ariza lot more than tmac, despite ariza's struggle and lack of basketball intelligence. I cant imagine RA cutting down ariza's minutes because he's sucking big time. Sure ariza's young, athletic and got "upside", but that dont translate much as far as the end result. Ariza's trying to be a vocal leader when he's in a slump, that to others might rub off the wrong way, more like easy to lose his cool and berate people's mistakes when he's making plenty himself. He definitely needs to set the bar lower now and just focus on being a dependable role player instead of a #1 option.
hard 2 make the case that he is out playing his contract 9mil is 2 much 4 what i've seen so far he does do other things beside score so may be w/ a little seasoning he could be good enuff 2 hold shanes jock !! just kidding it will all be forgotten if he shows up in the playoffs i will give him time 4 now & hope 4a better future go Rocket beat the Lakers BEAT EM NOW BEAT EM HARD BEAT EM DOWN THEY MUST PAY
As things stand, I feel that giving Ariza a 5 year contract was the biggest blunder Morey has done so far. I mean... 5 years? I wish we could trade him tomorrow first thing in the morning. RA is also making a big mistake by having Ariza play as if he were the star of the team. Ariza won't be happy when RA finally comes to his senses and reduces his minutes drastically.
He's just 24 man, he's got a away's to go,signing him for the midlevel is one of DM's great moves. I agree about his PT though, it should go to Tmac/Cbud/JT instead (not necesarily in that order).
He should be forbidden to shoot 3s... it would do wonders for his percentage. Whats wrong with his agility? He's always slipping and falling.
People raving over his athleticism either didn't watch him play much before he came to the Rockets or they set the bar for athleticism very low. A few of us have been saying that since he came here and kept getting shouted down. Funny, I don't get shouted down much these days.
