This is great news. Ariza will be key in our victory over the Celtics. As many have speculated, Ariza’s defense could be very important to this team in this years NBA Finals. Phil Jax even stated he fits in to the overall team plans for the series…
LakersFreedomBlogging: Jackson strongly hinted after Tuesday’s practice that Ariza likely fits into the overall team plan for the series. “I hope he’s going to have an opportunity to play,’’ Jackson said. “He can help us.’’
Said Ariza: “I can’t say what the situation is or will be, but I know when the time comes, I’ll be ready.’’
Ariza ready to go for game 6
Ariza closer, but still not ready to go

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
I would love to see Ariza get some more minutes…
I miss that slashing..and we need him to shut down Pierce.
The Truth Stopper!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very good News.

I hope his dunking ability will be up to par.
he needs to START the game.. Vlade is a liability on defense and we can’t afford for the Celtics to get an earlier lead on us.. Ariza will shut Paul Pierce down so the Celts will only have Garnett left since Ray Allen is struggling and/if he starts to make shots Kobe or Sasha will take care of him..
SOMEONE PLEASE POINT THIS OUT TO PHIL
He’s going to need to be used A LOT. He needs to be the primary defender on Pierce.
:}
starting line-up?
Can’t wait to see another flying TIGER knee dunk from Ariza onto either Allen or Cassell!
short diezel totally agree you just might have cracked the mystery
no on kG, pj brown, kenrick perkins, scott pollard and brian slabrine
