I thought Ariza was some kind of defensive stopper? Geez, get up on the guy at least when its blatantly obvious that he's going to pull up for a jumper.
Terrible defense by Ariza. He didn't even get a hand in his face. Yes Trevor with 2 seconds left he's going to drive. What an idiot.
Ariza's fault? Are you kidding? He barely played all game, yet the Mastermind sticks him in with 4 seconds to go trying to stop Gordon? I remember the Miami game last year, Ariza gets stuck in with 5 seconds against Wade, and he drills it. This was not Ariza's fault. Come on
There aren't many things Ariza is "good" at but he's known to be a pretty decent defensive player. He played 17 minutes in the game, thats more then enough for him to be called and play defense on one play, especially at 21 years old.
Ariza hustles, I don't think he's a good defensive player. He puts more effort than most, that's all. I just don't think Larry should stick him in, ice cold.
