Rockets.com : The Ariza Experiment 

Post#1 » by Aaron Brooks » Thu Oct 1, 2009 10:46 pm

“When you look at his size, length and athleticism, the player I always think of is Scottie Pippen,” says Turner. “I’d like to see Trevor handle the ball and be wiry, slashing and cutting like that. He already has the length and athleticism which, that alone, gives us something we didn’t have from that position last year. He’s going to rebound the ball and he really knows how to play. He’s still a young guy. We are going to ask him and probably demand from him to play a little bit out of his comfort zone in terms of not being such a spot-up player; you know, make something happen with the ball in his hand – like Pippen used to do.

There you have it, we have added the next Scottie Pippen to our arsenal of future Hall of Famers.

Ariza - Pippen
Dorsey - Ben Wallace
Budinger - Bird
Taylor - Wade
Me - Tony Parker

Did i leave anyone out?

I expect us to go 80-2

Artest > Lebron James. Artest = best player ever. Lebron's just a carbon copy of RA, remember.

OK.

I already deleted the reply wherein I was mean to you. So I'll start over, in the spirit of Christian charity.

ONCE MORE, FROM THE TOP:

"To" = PREPOSITION. i.e., "To whom do you attribute the failure of the Houston Texans?"
...or...
"Initially, I was mean to you."

Two = NUMBER. i.e., "Them two fools need to go back to school, so they too (also) can learn to use the mothereffing language."
...or...
"You two guys could f**k up a two car funeral."

Too = ALSO. i.e., "I hate you, too."
...or...
"If I could kill TWO people, it would be Karl Rove and you. You TOO, since your ignorance helps TO destroy America."


Nothing personal, of course. Carry on.

Neither we get jobbed by Stern's hand-picked refs as LeBron gets 100 FTs a game :)
