    Its becoming too obvious to ignore. With bev and ariza on the on the floor thats too many guys around harden that cant create their own shot... at least kostas showed in the last game he has range and in time can be a consistent 3 point shooter

    i dont like the 8-man rotations from mchale... we need to make up for dwights lost production, and i think finding minutes for kostas and canaan while limiting terry, bev and ariza would be for the better of this team

    I'm down for a no. I do think he should get some minutes though.

    Replace Ariza with someone who shoots worse than him?

    Ariza has been exactly what we needed. Defense first guy.

    Are you watching the 4th quarter here? Defense leading to easy transition buckets

    Ariza's defense is such a big reason for our success. I know its hard to see that when hes shooting poorly but his role is really important for us.

    Papanikolau might be the single worst player on the roster

    Absolutely splendid anti-jinx thread! Ariza has been god-awful at shooting the ball for months now. You make this thread and he goes crazy in the 2nd half! Well done, sir!

    Great job OP. We need more anti-jinx threads! Somebody starts a Canaan should start over Beverley thread.

    Yeah....no...

    Kostas won't shoot any better than Ariza and he sure as hell won't give us 10% of what Ariza brings to our defense. Irrational fan is irrational.
