Chris Paul has said in a Interview that he talks to Ariza everyday, even when he joined the Suns. There's a good chance he'll come back, I think Ariza should come off the bench. The Rockets can go with a 10 man Rotation. Vincent Edwards could also surprise the Rockets like Gary Clark, hopefully. PG Chris Paul SG James Harden SF James Ennis PF P.J.

Yes, I’m not saying he’s a great finisher. Those problems are magnified in the post season, and he can’t create off the dribble. But saying he suckw at finishing at the rim is not correct either
If Ariza comes back he starts when he can. He may not play starter minutes anymore but he will start. Just like when Kenny Smith always started for us even with Sam Cassell ready to take over the mantel.
