    ...everytime he does not run the offense through its regular flow (i.e.) Yao.
    I like him a lot. I think he's more valuable than TMAC, to be honest.
    But his selfishness is going to cost us big at some point.

    Adelman has to man up and nip that crap in the bud NOW.

    with a guy like Artest, not only do you NOT want to bench him, but you make him the leader of our team. Bout time we had some toughness in this team. You really think we can beat the Lakers/Celtics? We roll the dice, Artest FTW.

    We don't have the coaching staff to do that, unfortunately :rolleyes:

    i love him, man..dont get me wrong.
    im glad we finally have someone on our squad that fans of the other team can HATE. TMAC and Yao...too nice.

    But when Yao is hitting every jumper he shoots...and hes looking like hes channeling the spirit of a certain Nigerian Hall-of-Famer...and its a clutch point in the game...and coach is screaming to go to Yao...and Yao is screaming for the ball...and everyone else on your squad has cleared out for Yao to go one on one...and Artest forces a shot out of the flow, purely out of wanting to be the 'hero'...

    yea...you got to respond to that.

    I love him...but there has to be structure.

    Yao is inconsistent.
    while Artest always makes something happen in crunch time.

    I don't think every offense should pass through Yao, but Artest is playing on his own at most of the times.

    What are you talking about. He defended the ish out of ginger tonight. He made as many mistakes as Scola did. Come on now.

    You are right, we have a coaching staff that has us contending for the Southwest Divisional Title with our best player out for the year.

    Grow a brain.

    He was doing ok most of the time but you can tell he is always a hair away from just deciding he IS the offense and winging it however he wishes. Very annoying.

    His selfish Bull at a gate style of play is going to cause us to run into trouble.
    Artest needs to draw the double team and pass to the open shooter! :p
