    Artest is right , our game starts with team defense. When you have Tracy slacking off on D our defense will collapse , either Yao will have to come out to guard Tracy's man which lead to ONE: A pass to the open man for the easy bucket or TWO: Yao gets a foul.

    Artest is not playing the best offensive game right now but at least he's shutting his man down on D. So really that's 2 point right there.

    With the way they've been playing, I don't think any of our guys have the right to call out anyone. They need to shut up and do their talking on the basketball court.

    Pfth...Ron's D right now sucks. Ron's O right now sucks. I think people should start peforming before calling out other players.

    Good for Ron, I'm glad he's speaking up to Tmac. Hey Ron ain't making 21 million a year and he wasn't brought here to some super scorer either.

    I hated TMac when he quited the team a month ago.

    However, it's unfair to single out TMac right now. He did not save us, but he played better than most other players.

    Yeah it's T-mac's fault that Artest takes bad shots or misses his open shots.


    I doubt T-mac and Artest don't like each other, and if they don't like each other they don't show it.

    Mayo for the most part was guarded by Battier.

    Of course anytime someone has a big scoring night on us for some reason fans come this automatic conclusion that it was T-mac's fault.

    Everyone has parts of their game they need to work on. Tracy needs D, Ron needs to learn how to pass, Yao needs to learn to block shots, etc etc. I dont like anyone on our team calling out another teammate, it just hurts feelings. Ron needs to stop pointing his finger and start worrying about his own game. 10% shooting lastgame was sad.

    i don't believe it. No way Artest would do that. Now all of a sudden everyone is starting to call out everyone now. Team chemistry is going to blow up. 1st Alston now this if true. Who is next Yao?
