I dont care who, its sucks losing a player who was getting minutes. I would have prefered if Vlad would have started to keep Ariza in his normal rotation. In Phil's interview after the game he mentioned that it was a "in house decision" (or something like that) and wouldnt give the reasons on why he didnt start Vlad. Vlad must have seriously pissed him off or something
I think Vlad proved himself that he can once again step into that starting role. Ariza isn't great as a starter and although I respect his defensive intensity and aggressiveness, he can't hit 3's with the consistency of Vlad.
