You guys watching Ariza with the Hornets?

meanwhile our defense has gone south ...

 

And Ariza has contributed almost NOTHING to that. He did less than nothing against us. Having Aiza on this team would stull mean we were 0-4

 

you have no way in knowing that.

no way at all.

 

Saved me the keystrokes.

 

And you have no way on knowing that he could have helped this team

All I know is that Trevor SUCKED here last season and is playing pretty crappy in nola this year

 

he played for this team, that's how he would freaking know.

 

Courtney Lee has no balls.

It is not a he, nor is it a she. It is an it.

We traded Ariza for a frickin eunuch.

How fitting that the name Courtney is gender neutral.

 

Look who cares how Ariza is doing? The guy got paid, and moved aside for the good of himself and the Rockets.

It was a win win trade for everyone, Trevor goes to a team with true leadership so he can go back to being the role player he is, and the Rockets cleared way for a better player in CBud taking the role, and avoided the inevitable conflict over playing time....

This was a great move for all....

Sure, but we don't know yet if it was a win situation for us. CBud is struggling, so is Shane and we are 0-5 while they are 6-0.

I would still pull the trigger on this trade but so far it is not 'win' for us. Not yet.

 

They are not undefeated because of Trevor....it is their overall team that was constructed around CP3......they have done a good job of that.

Actually they are

If not his big 3 in the corner against the Heat, they would have lot the game.

I am not saying it is all about him, but he is a big part.

 

He is certainly a part, but he is easily replaced in that role.

DD

 

so far he has less ppg, .5 more rebounds, less assists, equal steals, less blocks, and shooting worse from the field.

He is what he is. Rockets could certainly use his defense though.

 

and he is playing like he should be. too bad we dont' have a star player to utilize his skills.

adelman and morey over-estimated his abilities. he is playing like he did with the lakers b/c of chris paul.

 

Two weaknesses of the current Rockets- defense and rebounding.

 

true, but he isnt a great rebounder. defense, yes they could use that.

 

he wasn't a good fit last year, he wouldn't be a good fit this year with yao only around half the time. also, we tried to force him to do more than he was capable of doing, when you have a kobe or a chris paul it's a lot easier

 

after seeing lee, yes i agree we could have played trevor at the 2 to give martin rest. and we have ish as another pg so his ability to handle the 1 and give martin rest is irrelevant imo

 

Ariza was ****ing terrible here. I would rather have Lee who plays within himself than Ariza who was atrocious on both ends of the court last season
