You don't expect much more out of him at this age with his knees. You do realize, that when Ariza was here, he still didn't get much playing time, what makes you think he wouldn't have been sitting on the bench watching Pat play last night?

He seems to have a fairly decent positive effect for our team. http://www.nba.com/statistics/lenovo/lenovo_sort.jsp?pc...7&split=9&team=Magic Make sure you look both overall, and on a per minute break down.

Marc Acres 3:16 418 Report post Posted December 20, 2007 Between Cook and Garrity I'd take Pat every time. Pat gives all of his effort whether it's for 1 min or 10, I have no time for people that stand around and do nothing except shoot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jareth Cutestory 678 Report post Posted December 20, 2007 Garrity gives us some positive things off the bench. Sure he isn't an all star, star, or even great player, but he hustled last night and contributed alot of heart if nothing else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackhennie 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2007 here is hennie's assessment pat is better then cook and auggie. Pat plays with hustle, basketball iq, and can hit a shot thus spreads the court. he does make a difference because he is the best option on our team as back up pf (though gortat should also get a shot). watch the game again. what you need to look for is: how pat boxes out other players fights for position on defenseknows to rotation on defense(though slow footed)knows where to be on offenseenergy/effortsets very good picks (better then cook and aggie) These are the small things that pat does that separates him from the lesser auggie and cook. Neither cook nor auggie are great with energy. it is a shame that auggie is even labled as an energy player. i have yet to see any energy on the court. maybe he is a good practice player. who knows. i think that gortat needs to get a chance to play pf. he has defensive with size and shot blocking. he can rebound a little with d12, plus hit the mid range. he must be having some really bad practices because he is the only one on the team that his not played. back to the topic. i am not the biggest pat fan, but compared to cook and auggie he shines (lol, never thought i say that but im willing to admit when someone does something i notice) because of his intangibles. i challenge you to watch the replay or the next game. which those key fundamental factors: position, boxing out, squaring on picks, rotations, and hustle. plus, it is a big bonus he is a big 3pt shooter. yes. pat make a difference because he is the best option at this point at back up pf. we need to play every sec we are on the court. when a player like cook or auggie struggles with those intangibles that pat brings, then the opposing team can make a run; which can make or brake a game.

Soul Bro 1,422 Report post Posted December 20, 2007 Unless Cook somehow wakes up, Otis made a MASSIVE mistake trading Ariza. Why? B/c we took on a substantial contract with Cook and gave up our best wing defender and second best rebounder. Boo. Now if we have to rely on Garrity in our early rotation like we did last night, we are in trouble. I like his hustle but loathe his game. Houston was dreadful outside of Yao last night. We need a PJ Brown guy as our back-up PF, not Pat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jareth Cutestory 678 Report post Posted December 20, 2007 Anybody ever hear of the saying "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade". While right now our lemonade is Pat Garrity. Let's just drink it up for awhile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We need a PJ Brown guy as our back-up PF, not Pat. us getting evans was really good. cook just give us some to use if we use pat in a trade or to play next year when pat is let go. evans is a better fit then ariza. to that why the trade works.
