    That's awfully big of TSlack to admit that it was his fault. Most observers probably thought it was Artest's fault.

    Jump,

    I am not sure, all I know is that it can't hurt to try.......right now we are stuck with a very unhappy Tmac.

    Bringing in another PG that can help take the pressure off of him and can make the shots he creates would help him, I think.

    Also, Hinrich is not a cancerous personality as Artest is.....that alone helps life the cloud of doubt surrounding the entire team.

    It may be a band aid, but if something is not working, you can not let it fester too long....it is time to cut the cancer out.

    A tight game? The score was 2 to 0. They had scored a zillion times (plus 2) more points than we had by then.

    I do think, however, that this we-all-laugh-together-in-the-locker-room is a way to passive-agressively disguise some serious problems. They want to keep saying locker-rooms are like that. But, a good locker room does not produce a loss like they suffered last night.

    But realistically DD, how has Artest been a cancer so far this year. Is he the player on the team that doesn't give maximum effort or does he play without heart. This season became a fragmented season when Tracy didn't rehab this summer from the get go, in my eyes this whole thing started with Tracy. You can add a great PG and add this and add that, but there not going to win a championship with Tracy. The rockets need to cut themselves loose of the real cancer.

    This whole thing is overblown.

    The next possession down while Scola was at the free throw line, T-mac went to the bench and was laughing with Artest and Wafer.

    These guys are grown ass men. I bet they rib each other all the time. I'm sure Yao gets it from the fellas when he gets dunked on hard and if we had won that game, the guys would have been ribbing T-Mac for that missed dunk after the game. T-Mac didn't shoot 1-9 because his teammates were laughing at him. Yall gossip girls are making a big deal over nothing.

    It depends on your perspective. For instance, from watching the game last night:

    Me, a Rockets fan: "Holy ****!"
    My friend, not a Rockets fan: hysterical laughter

    I haven't completely given up on him, but I'm getting concerned as well.

    What's more troubling is that since it is his contract year, this is probably Artest at his very best behavior. So what will happen when he signs that big contract?

    I don't think either Tmac or Ron will be here one year from now......

    And Ron is just the first to go.

    DaDakota can you please make another video commentary regarding the missed dunk and current affairs of the Rockets? I really enjoyed your first one and I think you do a better job than any media outlet currently available.

    Thank You
