    Also Battier is doing so well.

    Agreed...

    Courtney Lee, Kyle Lowry, Chase Budinger, and Shane Battier have been HUGE disappointments. Something's gotta change.

    sry, I forgot to mention our fantastic defense and ranking. The Ariza trade is making this team much better.......

    I would give Battier, Cbud and Lee for Ariza's left nut right now.

    I mean, Ariza's not that great, but he's at least better than Battier. We're not even playing Lee, so I would rather have kept Ariza.

    Where was Courtney Lee today? I started watching after halftime, but I didn't see him then.

    Did he play in the first half?

    Lee's defense is good but not great. The hype machine over inflated his actual skill.

    Guy is actually a pretty good player but not nearly the match that many painted him to replace Ariza, who was originally (or so I thought) meant to be Battier's replacement at SF but because of Budinger's more fluid offensive set and Ariza's own lack leadership qualities or maturity to replace Battier if a trade was made wound up getting Ariza dealt.

    That being said, I think Lee was a good pick up, it is just that this team has been plagued pretty hard by injuries and the depth isn't being implemented as well as you'd think it would be.

    Yup, at least with Ariza you know you will get tangible production in addition to the intangibles. You also know that Ariza won't disappear on you in the playoffs, but at this rate, we won't have to worry about the post-season.

    RA could have used CLee on Wall to see how good he could have defended him
