The Houston Rockets are damn near unbeatable. Just like Game 6 against Portland. We turned the Lakers into Portland in Game 1 by forcing them to shoot jumpers and slowing down the tempo.
Where all the doubting Thomas now huh? I got flamed for saying Artest will be improved player in PO. All those doubters were like he'd never change..blah blah blah.
It's been awhile MoesTavern19 since you have created a thread, it's a holy moment. I agree with you though, Artest shooting efficiently and taking good shots really works out a big positive for our team. Hopefully he'll continue that in the games to come in the series.
Ron has to shoot efficiently and we need to make threes at a high percentage. Both happened tonight and so our offense was decent.
Hopefully Ron Artest can keep this up this whole series and take us to the PROMISE LAND BABY! YALL FEEL ME!?
With Battier taking on the defensive assignment against Bryant, Artest can concentrate more on offense. Give credit to him for hitting his shots.
When Ron and Brooks play smart basketball like tonight, it makes me a happy person. Good job to both for heady, efficient, aggressive play.
This is a great point because it reminds me of that first Dallas game where Ron and Yao each had 30 and they destroyed the Mavs with McGrady on the bench. They looked indestructible that night.
This is what worried me the most this series. Ron going off the reservation made those Portland games very difficult. Ron going solo against LA would make these games impossible. But he played w/in himself, didn't rush anything, and I can only remember him taking one bad, contested shot. Last night he demonstrated why he's considered one of the best 2 way players.
