No, not necessarily. I expect the teams they have to beat to make the playoffs to lose some games. Sure, they have to continue their hot play and hopefully will continue to improve. I still think they'll make a move by the deadline.
RA has to choose between Chuck and Supernova. The other four positions are locked. Without T-Mac, Novak would not have had the open shot, so he has to play SG; Shane can shoot 3, Chuck can't, so he is another option. Not to mention Yao and Rafer. This is the situation I understand. RA made right choice and he has the courage to put Novak in for 7 minutes. That's should be appreciated. Artest is too strong for Tmac and Battier, or maybe most of SF in the league. I believe Wells can guard him but his shots weren't falling tonight. Strongest G-F in the league - Artest; Second Bonzi. At least we have Bonzi, otherwise we will be eaten by him several times a year.
Rafer Alston played great. He's been consistent on offense, and made up for T-Mac this game. It wasn't T-Mac's fault he played so poorly on defense though. Ron Artest is probably the best perimeter defender in the NBA. And he'll wear you out offensively too. If Artest keeps his focus, he can be a Top 3 small-forward in this league. Nobody else is as deadly as him on both ends of the floor aside from Bryant.
Well, I dunno how it counts, but from http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia-liv...eaFIE1XC?e=.asx we are not in ...sad
