Great, he will have a breakout season now
Is a non factor. He's not even a good player. He was just one of the players that benefited from all the concentration on Kobe/Gasol. Like Fisher. He has to be left wide open to make shots. He won't do anything on the Rockets.
Great, he will have a breakout season now
much muich much props to you on your sig.Great, he will have a breakout season now
thanks^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You're the best.
Gotta agree...that's a beautiful thing.
I wish Ariza went to SA just to see how Jeff would spin this.
I know this thread was started by SpursDynasty, but its amazing how fast lakers fans turn on a player who meant so much to the success they had this year. Ariza sealed a lot of games for them in the postseason, and for some reason Artest is seen as a better player? Fans need to just respect the guy for what he did for your team.
as much as i like ariza i would of loved him being a spur, ariza seems like a player that works off talent offensively.admit he is great defender and would defintly help if yao and tmac was there,but i see ariza as a younger shane battier, i dont see him being a creator offensively, besides a spot up shooter working off aaron brooks penetration, at least the rockets have someone now that can slow down tony parker
Just because it's a fact Artest can do more things then Ariza that doesn't mean Laker fans don't appreciate what Ariza did for us.
he left cause of money and now is saying he went to a place "where he is appreciated". kind of a shame for the kid. hometown guy but now he left cause of money and got screwed. he got the best cheers next to kobe in the parade. agents at it again in my book
Like what? Ariza is quicker defender, better shooter, better for team chemistry.
Artest man to man D is better, he can guard bigger players like LBJ, Melo, Pierce a ton better, Ariza gets abused by those guys. Artest shot threes at 39% last season, Ariza 31%, Ariza shot 48% in the playoffs which is great but I don't think you can judge by a month and a half and say Ariza is a better shooter, especially when Ariza has been a horrible three point shooter his whole career up to this past year. Artest can create his own shot as well, Ariza can't. Team chemistry is still something to be seen, we have no clue how Ron will act, which is a risk but could turn out great.
Of course Ariza has more upside and is more athletic but I think for the next season or two Ron is the better player but after that Ron will start to decline and Ariza will be coming into his own.
Artest creating his own shots doomed the rockets.
It's isn't something he'll be doing often with Kobe, Gasol and Lamar out there but it's something he can do better then Ariza, that's what you were tying to argue, wasn't it.
If it came down to a last second shot, with it being one on one, i would take Ariza.
Why? Cause it helps your argument.
he sure killed the lakers that year
That is one big in mouth
well jackson was telling all the mavs fans at the game that they have big mouths like the ones on this board
Do you even watch basketball?
Ariza was a great player for us. All his efforts are really appreciated. Ariza was a defender that cut the passing lanes and got steals. Ron is a much better one on one defender. Ariza shot 31% from 3 last year... Ron shot 39%. Odom and Ron were childhood friends and PJ is adept at dealing with headcases.
No issues .....
^ Oh my! This is getting good.
His post does sat he will NEVER be back. What happend?
