As of writing, Ariza has been flourishing with the Houston Rockets. His numbers? Oh, he's been averaging over 23 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, hitting 3 three-balls and getting almost 2 steals a game. By getting 14 extra minutes per game, Ariza as triples his scoring output and the three pointers he's hitting (and taking). At the rate he's going he could be an All...

It hasn't broken yet, the team has split a pair of contests with the Portland Trail Blazers, while winning a tough one in Golden State. (The Portland thing cracks me up. No wonder the Trail Blazers are carping at each other - before Sunday's win over the Thunder, Portland had played the Rockets in eight of their last nine games.) Houston has upped the pace,...
