I said the same exact thing. When they lost Trevor Ariza , that was the beginning of the end for them. Ariza is the perfect 3&D 6'8" SF that you need to build a championship caliber team. Without a prototypical guy like him, you're done.

Cause Ariza was that defensive Key on the perimeter! Always was, and still a threat on offense.

Trevor ariza was huge. And also ryan anderson gave them a floor spacer who could also go into the post at times so they didnt have to just rely on 3s. They over did it on the small ball strategy

“Our bench is amazin man”

Well now he's on the warriors

I completely agree and said it bsck then. Ariza was slept on

Those playoff western conference or 2 round matchups with rockets and warriors were fun .

I agree with what he said about Trevor Ariza. He was a beast defensively. He won Kobe his 4rth ring. He won 2 games in the 2009 Western conference finals. He had the last second game winning steals for 2 games.

Man I said the same thing, ppl don't understand the mental structure of building a team and we needed Dogs tough players around Harden

If he didnt get injured, they wouldve beat the Warriors, and when he went out, they had no one to control the pace of the game, and went back to D'antoni's system is based on pusing the tempo and offense, with no defense. CP3 was a true floor generL when the coach wanted to push the ball. They jacked up so many missed 3's and kept shooting, til they shot themselves out of that series
