Where are you seeing same for Ariza?
Recently Phil said he expects him back at some point.

Who guards AI is the question though...Fish can't do it....and he can't guard anyone else. That's going to be the HUGE matchup of the game.

Let AI and Carmelo have their 60 points on 50 shots, like they did in Game 1. Lakers will take that any day.

Should be interesting to see DEN's second unit against LA's 1a.
If you are Phil, do even think about tinkering with the lineup to combat AI, or do you roll as is? I guess Sasha could pester him the best.

Roll as is, and expect to see help from both Sasha and Jordan sooner rather than later. Sasha will get more time on AI and maybe AI will try to choke him.
I hope The Machine is raining SJOD as well.

I haven't seen anything ruling out Ariza, it just seems like he's still a ways off. As far as I know he's only been ruled out for round 1 so far. Hopefully he improves, but the news hasn't been encouraging so far. His defense would be a huge boost for us if we can get him back.
As for who guards AI, use Fisher again. Yeah, Fish can't stop him, but no one can. The key to beating Denver isn't stopping AI, just try and contain him as much as possible. The more AI tries to do it all himself, the better our chances for the win. Klieza is a solid big man, but I think they are crazy to change up their starting line up. They won 50 games with the lineup that started Sunday, why change now? I guess I'm just one of those people that believes the playoffs are too late in the season to start making adjustments to your line up. At this point, you really should roll with what got you here.
I think the Lakers dominate game 2, I can't wait.

The refs probably could have outscored PHX in the 3rd quarter. |

Shaq looked surprisingly good out there. Color me impressed.

Shaq looked good, but that was about it. Barbosa and Diaw were absolutely terrible, and they just kept feeding Diaw like he was on fire. The problem is that they got Shaq to deal with Duncan, and while that didn't work in game 1, it seemed effective in game 2. That's all fine, but they traded away Marion and now they have no one to put on Ginobli. They're just getting killed by different spurs this year, Manu and Parker were unstoppable tonight.
2-0 is too big of a hole. I thought Phoenix had it, but no way they take 4 of the next 5. Spurs vs. Hornets should be a good matchup though.
