Ariza always plays better when he is well rested. He guarded the best wing on the other team night in and night out. He directs traffic plays an insane amount of minutes almost every single game. He's also not a spring chicken. If we could have afforded to let him rest more he probably would have been more effective. Luc's shoulder to me cost us last season. Codman said it best when he said Ariza's presence will be missed!
Not surprising he got off to a nice start. He did with us like every year. It was surprising to see Gordon struggle from 3 early
Same here, he has been here for many years and last season there was something special with that group, and he was a big part of it.
Mike DAntoni deserves credit for playing Luc against the Lakers reinjuring his shoulder on a dunk, both deserve blame. Luc being dumb dunking again on a bad shoulder, Mike playing him in a meaningless Regular Season Game.
