We should have offered Ron the MLE. I'm pretty sure we would have won more games. Bump the talk about Ariza "is the future". Ariza has no future. He sucks.
btw, its kinda funny how after the spurs game everyone here loved most of the players, now after a close lose everyone is hating brooks,or ariza,or adelman.
I would keep Battier because he expires NEXT season. I would trade Trevor to get out from under that contract, he just does not fit. He is what he is ....a 5th option player who does ok in limited roles ...around 20mpg. He is not capable or skilled enough to increase his role and when he tries it makes him even worse. His scoring is up but his efficiency is WAY down. Meanwhile my man Maggette continues to shoot 55%..... DD
wow dude hate? thats a bit strong but i agree I hate his game not him as a person.. i remember one play tonite he tried drivin to the basket and he started stumbling and i said 'whoa whoa whoa, get the ball out his hands' LMAO that guy is really stinking it up out there, idk wat RA is doin im startin to question his decisions
Never! Clutch sorta mentioned it in the gameday thread. Clutch not for sure but thinks they promised him some things. We keep asking what do they see in him that they're starting him, keeping him out there, or giving him so many minutes? I said in the chat, they promised him the world and would be a predominant part or main part of the offense. I think we would of seen something by now if they were going to make a change of some sort. (Whether it be reducing minutes or even benching him)
$9 million...yes, but only a one year deal. I think a multi-year deal would have brought him back. But I mean, he does have a thing going for Kobe, so we'll never know. We are stuck with Trevor "30%" Ariza anyway.
I've never been crazy for the Magette idea but he has been playing great this season. His last 3 games: 9-14 29 points 10-18 33 points 11-14 32 points If the price is right..
Yes Ariza had another bad game, but make no mistake this was a team loss. There were several reasons why we lost. Getting down early playing no defense, making B Miller look like an all star, not rebounding and so on and so on. It's not that I'm sticking up for Ariza's horrible game but the "team" really stunk it up tonight
Adelman loves scrubs he played Alston over Brooks, Ariza over Budinger, Artest over Wafer, Battier over T-mac it's like he wants to get fired..lol
well landry is more uptempo and just flat out better scorer. thats all. scola is what he is. im tired of seeing bad starts to the game and have to hope landry and lowry bail them out. you like scola, i see that. he wont bring a championship. he makes you happy. im only happy when this team starts to be a contender.
Another bad game? Just another? Out of the 43 games the Rockets have played, how many good games has Traveling Ariza played? I doubt it gets into double figures.
clutchfans: That hurts. RT @awexler With his 3-14 night, Trevor Ariza now sits dead last in FG% among the 117 players who qualify (37.8%)
He has the size and some athleticism, but the "tools" are extremely lacking. Let's just say he doesn't have many clubs to reach back for in his bag. He can't drive, can't really finish, has absolutely no handle compared to other NBA wings, and has one of the worst jumpshots in the NBA. The guy's "tools" are extremely limited.
