    It's the first time I was ever happy to see a Rocket foul out in a game. With the Rox holding a 12 or 14 point lead, Ron Ron forgets he has teammates and starts launching ill-advised 3's and hacking every Warrior that got near him. What a a-hole. The Warriors took advantage real quick and almost pulled the game out. The game should have ended like the Kings game the night before with a 15 or 20 point win. When Ron De-test fouled out after bowling into the lane totally out of control, I was so happy. Maybe now we can win this stupid game! But he already changed the momentum and gave the Warriors confidence, so we had to really sweat that one out. I know...it was a road game and the second half of a back to back, plus our best player didn't play, but Artest, (in my mind), almost blew the game.

    Artest killed the Rox momentum and gave those losers confidence with his boneheaded play at the worst time!

    Right, right. Ron probaby told them since the first quarter he would foul out, so that too gave them momentum but at different moments throughout the game to keep it close, makes sense now. Thanks again for clearing it up .

    I wasn't happy, but I felt the rockets would win at that moment.

    Like Vernon, Artests passion can sometimes backfire.



    Better than being soft and having no nuts....

    Yes, Artest is so stupid, I just hope the rockets sign him, then ship him out at the end of the year. He is not a long term solution for the team, at least he has not done any stupid things so far, you just do not know what he can do for you if you give him a long term contact.

    why should we give him a break? I won't give him even a slimmest break.

    Yeah yeah yeah Artest messes up a game and we should sign him and ship him out next year. Artest is very unreliable the good comes in but, his bad side really messes it up for us... :rolleyes:

    Clearly you don't know anything about basketball so it would be in your best interest to stop creating idiotic threads like this.
