http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/6116347.html Ron Artest says the rest of the Rockets will look to Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady to avoid repeats of Friday’s collapse in San Antonio. “We probably slacked off,” Artest said. “It’s going to be important definitely for Yao and Mac, the leaders, that when times like that come, when we’re up against good teams on the road, we’ve got to find a way. … And everybody else has to follow, and everybody else is not going to have an excuse to blow big leads like that.” As for being a leader himself? “Everybody has input,” Artest said. “Chuck (Hayes) has input, Rafer (Alston) has input. But obviously, (players) follow Michael Jordan, they follow Shaquille O’Neal, they follow Tim Duncan. They didn’t really follow Steve Kerr.” guess nothing's changed. c'mon ron, assert yourself.
