- I think that Ariza is a bad trade. 33 million for a guy who averaged 8 points and 4 rebounds last year when you are playing along a playmaker like Kobe Bryant. I take Ron Artest over Ariza any day....
- Hopefully our Tim Duncan emerges in college this coming NCAA season. You're right about our overachieving bunch. Hopefully we'll defy the odds if we just slide into the lottery and somehow...
- And who would be our Tim Duncan? BTW, the Rockets won't be lottery-bounded - that's the curse of an always over-achieving, fighting bunch like them, and that's why we love them anyway....
- It's great to land Ariza, but I think the "next" most important thing is to find a replacement/back-up for Yao.
- Ariza is far beow the level of Artest. The only advantage is his age, only 24, which is good for the future. Poor Rockets are rebuilding all the time. Better build for the lottery this time....

BTW, that game was heartbreaking! China had a few key possessions down the stretch and couldn't convert. Yao played fair and he knows it. But once again, Yi Jianlian put up a quiet game and he needs to get his mind back from Mars.
It's amazing after all these years, Wang Zhizhi has more offensive repertoire than Yi and he can put the ball on the floor like Dirk. Only if he had learned how to play tough and box out! This is like a what-could-have-been for him. Props to him for hitting those big shots though. Sun Yue was pretty much mute, and I really want the coach to have him running the point instead of Liu Wei, even though Liu played fairly well today.
I think with today's game, China's confidence is boosted even more. I don't think they'll beat Germany but they have a great chance against Greece. And they need to pounce Angola as hard as they can to make up some point differences, they are at -41 right now.
