This is true. Without Artest, the Kings wouldn't have had the opportunity to be so heartbroken in overtime Better to lose by a long shot than sticking around and hoping, only to get slapped down like a mosquito at the last moment
Haha, Bibby has screwed it up so many times in the final seconds, I'd honestly rather see Artest with the ball.
Since Bibby is struggling so much and Artest doesn't like him, the Rockets would be happy to take him off their hands. I'm willing to give them Sura, Howard, and V-SPAN or Wells.
The posters on the main Kings chat forum didn't blame Artest; they blamed Musselman for calling the wrong play. Every one of them thought Bibby should have gotten the ball when they needed that 3. I agree with them. Giving the ball to Artest that far from the basket in a situation like that is asking for trouble. Yes, Bibby has been off this season but that moment was tailored made for him. He's made more clutch shots than any player in Sactown history. They are pummeling Musselman mercilessly.
