Artest and McGrady share the blame on this one. They refused to play the offense, they stopped the ball. It's that simple.
thanks i get that alot btw artest sucked ass today also we would of been better off with him not taking shots
Tracy's play didn't bother me nearly as much as Artest's. Artest jacked up bad shot after bad shot and clearly wasn't on. When you're simply not on, you gotta defer a little bit more often. Also, remember last year when Artest would torch us every single game? I have to ask, how the hell did that happen? Aside from his decent post game and decent jump shot, he is nothing more than Chuck Hayes offensively? I'll admit I haven't seen him play much without being injured, but he just looks plain slow and unskilled.
Lost on both Tmac and Artest. To much one on one. Need to sit both players down until they learn body movement and ball movement. The game is so much easier if they would buy into running the offense.
Yep. Artest & "Last Laugh" McGrady: 31 points from 39 shots. Suffocated the team concept. Scolandry: 32 points on 20 shots. Tell me again why we were in the game?
because he made buckets when everyone was not scoring? creating for people driving and trying while all artest did was effin shooting impossible shots
Dumb thread. Mcgrady actually showed a little bit of life left tonight. He drove a few times. Artest and Adelman are too blame for tonights loss.
You were watching boxscores weren't you? Look around a little bit and you'll see Artest who was much much more effective.
AND that field goal stat is misleading, tmac had to take 3 or 4 bail out shots for the team and that makes his shooting look much worse the biggest beef i got with tmac AND ronron is they kill ball movement at times (tmac) and ALL the time (artest) tmac moves the ball some of the time, ronron moves it none of the time. hes a true black hole either way i agree that ONE of them has to be traded before deadline for a better fit, not cause they are bad but cause in adelman system you cant have two players that cant move the ball smoothly
/sigh your basketball iq is pretty low the bench had nothing to do with us staying in? Scola had nothing with us staying in? I guess the other four players on the court were playing monopoly or something (artest went bankrupt probably)
Pretty much what I saw, unfortunately. Though not sure if it was that they refused to play the offense, or didn't know how to.
I would rather trade Artest because I dont think we will resign him back. I want to trade Artest for a shooter that goes off screens.
I hope you know that although the bench did cut down the Knicks lead earlier on, it also allowed the Knicks to cut down the lead before we put McGrady back in when we were up by 2 or 4. Scola was terrific, but he missed the important wide open layup. Artest was the problem tonight, McGrady's fault as well of course, but if one guy wants to go ISO, at least have passing in mind.
