Trevor Ariza exposed

[RoseCity07]

1/11 FG
0/4 3FG


nothing more than just a good roleplayer who's dependent on assists

I was thinking the same thing. Only an idiot would think he was anything more than a role player.

I hope you realize he was brought here to be more of a defensive player. I'm sure if he doesn't work out, the Rockets won't be hurting. We already know we won't be all that great this season, so I hope you don't try to use this as an argument. Also he has a pretty cheap contract unless he completely gives up on basketball, then I'm pretty sure he'll be worth it.

Yea, he clearly was not signed for his offense. He made a name for himself last year bc of his defensive intensity, not his offense. When he was on the Lakers, his offense was a bonus. Its his D is what we counted on

[Raider007]

Notice how some preseason games are about as exciting as a box of carpet?

Yea and how many idiots actually think he is more than a role player? Obv he is a role player, thats common sense

Looks like 'The Kobe Effect' is already visible.

[kumquat]

It's like playing Horry as anything more than a role player.

You'd really like to think that.

EXPOSED! Good job OP.

Yea, like I didn't watch nearly every Laker game last season. Everyone already knows how important Kobe's presence was for Ariza. I guess it's just magic that anyone paired with Kobe sees a rise in their efficiency (for Ariza, he literally made his career)

Guess it kinda works for how Jordan made Pippen too? Huh.

Yea because last year with kobe gasol odom is the same as preseason with fkn cook budinger and brooks.

Yea, because all Pippen was doing was camping around the 3pt line waiting for Jordan to feed him a shot. There were seasons where Pippen probably held the ball MORE than MJ. Completely irrelevant comparison being made by an idiot.

Well it pretty clearly happened with Smush Parker. Look at his stats on the Lakers compared to every other team he played for.

And so far it looks like Ariza isn't going to be able to shoot the way he did on the Lakers.

[#1SportsFan86]

Wow! are people really bashing Ariza over a PRE-SEASON game?....I mean let's wait to see what he does in the season before we say he was a product of Kobe Bryant.

You're doing a piss job being a closet Kobe fan.
