Lowry trips me out. On a defensive possession he flops backward to the ground 5 feet when Tim Duncan sets a pick on him. Then when the dribbler thats freed on the pick shoots and misses who gets the rebound?... Lowry!
A Great Houston Rockets victory!!! I don't know how the hell we scored 116 in regulation but I'll take it!
Yea, I probably overstated it. I just remember a few bobbles and forced shots. His natural abilities (height, length, athleticism) allow him to always have some kind of impact on the game, even when he's shooting poorly. I'm not saying he shot poorly tonight. He was pretty good in that respect. The one thing that has impressed me most about Ariza on the offensive end is his passing abilities. He'll make a bad pass here and there but he's got pretty good passing skills for a SF. He sees the game better than I thought he did.
Yep, he's doing a much better job of playing within himself. It's when he pushes that he gets in trouble. As long as he lets the game come to him, he's decent and even a pretty good deal for the MLE. When he pushes...well...ugh.
And I hate to pick on the guy because he had a solid game. Certain moments in the 4th made me throw books at the TV.. Massive win and to make thing sweeter everyone else lost today too. and everyone lost today too with the exception of the Hornets. Portland Thunder Dallas Suns losing to Bulls right now..
Lowry instantly changed the game once he stepped on the floor in 1st quarter. He still needs to cut down his stupid fouls though.
