i think TT plays better against other team's 2nd units...it might be better to keep him on the bench as the 6th man & allow Stephon, Crawford, Nazr & KT to get their games going earlier, so he's just not a second thought out there early on...that way you can use him as a focal point to run your offense through when he comes into the game...Ariza is good at being productive while not having plays run for him, so i'm ok w/having him on the floor w/those other guys.

To be fair, I said no one would like it.

Look, it will hurt Ariza's development somewhat, but I'm not saying bench him. I'm saying showcase TT. Though, if the way to showcase him is to have him come in off the bench and light it up in the second and third quarters, fine.

I say keep playing Ariza, and make sure you play Sundov and Brewer enough for us to loose the game.

Ariza is developiong, but lets not kid ourselves, he is hurting the team more then helping at this point as a starter, however that's what 19 year old rooks do.

I say keep playing him and let him learn on his mistakes. By next year he will be really read to be a solid starter.

As for TT, who even cares, his only value is in the lenght of his deal. Same for Penny. We should not be playing either extended minutes, neither one is the future.

And them playin well might get us an extra win goddamit lol.

Watch a game or 2 and find out.

For once he can't shoot, but they have him shooting. He also can't guard one on one right now. He maeks rookie mistakes.

Cmon, I love Ariza, but if we were a contending team no way would he be starting. We are simply tanking and reubuilding.

And I think that's what we should be doing exatcly. Play Ariza 48 minutes if you can as far as I'm concerned.

Hey no one is going to like this either but I think Penny is a worse player than TT. I cannot stand seeing Penny on the court anymore. I know we owe him schmillions of dollars and i don't watn another buyout, those seem really demoralizing to me (like it's my money? i know i shouldn't care but it's like the ultimate spoiled loser daddy-has-big-bucks-and-will buy-me-out-of-trouble move to me).

Showcase TT for what????? I am one of his biggest fan, but Ariza is the future. Marburry needs as much time as possible to work with this kid. Put Sweetney in there with him also.
