Trevor Ariza
5 May 2009
ting together a sub-par effort with 10 points and just 3 rebounds, took more shots than Lamar Odom, Trevor Ariza, Sasha, and Jordan Farmar. On any given night, I expect each of those players to take more shots than Bynum. That's partly Kobe's fault. He needs to be looking to pass. The Houston Rockets are going to be tough and physical this entire series. They're going to expect Kobe to come at them, knowing this, and they'll double-team him. If Kobe doesn't pass the ball, or even look to pass, LA's in trouble.

e check and see if those words have ever been written in that order before?) and defers to teammate Trevor Ariza.
Why? Because Ariza is open, as his defender (Manu Ginobili) is aggressively trapping Kobe (along with his defender Roger Mason) along with near the sideline. Kobe has to pass, there is no other option, and the Spurs effectively get to choose (to a certain degree), who the ball goes to. And the Spurs chose Ariza, who was 23 feet away from the basket at the top of the three-point arc. Mind you,
