andreusito Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 vs Pistons, hit a three, missed a shot, grabbed three boards, missed two free throws. Good or bad? What's going to happen with him? Expectations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Looks like Ariza's suspension was a blessing in disquise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poe Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 It's good to see he's finding his way back on the court. Problem is, where does he fit? Ariza's suspension has been only for a single day, and he's been the leading scorer I think for this team with a winning record. Shane Battier should remain a starter, IMO. Chase Budinger is playing very well off the bench. That's three wing players already in the rotation. I suppose the best option would be to let T-Mac, Trevor, and Air Bud battle it out in practice, and whoever's been playing well will receive minutes.

MainEv3nt Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 umm. if tmac is actually healthy its a no brainer u play him lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted December 16, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Battier goes to the bench, and you turn Ariza into a spot-up shooter that feeds off of McGrady's passing. Otherwise, you trade T-Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poe Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 umm. if tmac is actually healthy its a no brainer u play him lol.I can see how it could be better marketing to have T-Mac getting minutes, cause that will be sure to put asses in seats like AI, but I don't think that's Rick's main concern. I don't see why he should get auto minutes just because of his paycheck or what he's done in the past, especially when this team is doing well and still in the playoff race. It's probably best to slowly incorporate him back into the offense, but personally I think he'll have to reprove himself. Ariza is the #1 option according to Adelman. Battier is a starter, and Chase deserves minutes. I understand T-Mac needs minutes. Maybe it's best to bench Chase just for this year and let him make a comeback next year when T-Mac is gone.

Warren2ThaG Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Great, play him and trade him. Not like he's going to be healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poe Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) Battier goes to the bench, and you turn Ariza into a spot-up shooter that feeds off of McGrady's passing. Otherwise, you trade T-Mac.Yea, that's probably the best option offensively, though I think Battier deserves to start. Trevor does seem to play best when feeding off of good playmakers. Question is, can T-Mac still produce well enough on the offense for it to work? If they trade T-Mac, they really just need a big defensive center in return. T-Mac is too much money, though, so it's probably best to just let his contract expire in Houston, and hope Yao can make a comeback next season.

ChosenOne Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Finally he got a chance to play it is about time, you could tell that he liked being out there after a very long wait with injury or what not. I loved seeing him back on the court. Hopefully we will continue to see him play and hopefully he will get alot more minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 No way is Ariza a number one option. Real already explained it very well, he needs to feed off of better players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 One of the reasons I want Tracy to stay here so bad is that he can help out a lot with Ariza's development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
