Rockets seek aggressive Ariza as he adjusts to new role

—

For a guy who says little and says it softly, Trevor Ariza's body language was screaming. He had been misfiring for a week, with the most recent misses or turnovers quickly accompanied by a shrug and shake of the head. He had come to the Rockets to expand his game, with plans to take it from ...

Rockets' Hayes short for center, long on leadership

— chron.com — ORLANDO, Fla. — Chuck Hayes gets it. The idea that he is — at a stocky 6-6... with few offensive skills — a starting center in the NBA, inspires the same reaction from him that he imagines others have at the sight of him in such an exalted position.“I ...

The Fundamentals
BallerBlogger.com — ... Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle:  “For a guy who says little and says it softly, Trevor Ariza’s body language was screaming. He had been misfiring for a week, with the most recent misses or turnovers quickly accompanied by a shrug and shake of the head. He had come to the Rockets to expand his game, with plans to take it from sidekick to star. But now, even the shots that he sank so reliably in the Lakers’ championship run were betraying him.

Great Exercises in Internet NBA-Related Postings 10.12.09
Hardwood Paroxysm — Hallo! Welcome the return of the links! Submit your peasant lives to their greatness! Durantula is not so hot on the +/- criticism. You know, a lot of people talked about how close he is to his mom and the similarities between him and Vince Young when I was in Austin. The Texas athlete breeds phenomenal ability and the occasional sensitivity to the barbs of criticism. Even though the TrueHoop article wasn’t criticism. (BONUS: Daily Thunder does a kickass job of evaluating +/- and defending his superstar without copping to the “Plus/Minus is stupid” tactic, which is like saying, “Game Theory is ...
