    Have you guys taken notice that everytime Artest joins a new team he gets integrated into the team before he starts putting great offensive numbers. When he joined the Pacers his scoring went down from when he was with the Bulls. Then When he joined the Kings his scoring went down from his last seasons with the Pacers. Now he joins the Rockets and his scoring goes down from when he was scoring last year with the Kings. But his rebounds and Assits still stay impressive in regards to his career numbers.

    Artest has shown that he is more concerned playing team ball than being an NBA scoring darling.

    I am so proud of McGrady and Artest differing their scoring and offensive game for the sake of team basketball.

    And Yao scored 24 points on like 12 shots the other day. We all know Yao is such a good teammate!!!

    what I'm more concerned about is his scoring efficiency, which is still at an alltime low.

    Isn't he shooting around 48% since he started coming off the bench?

    And I believe he is at 40.5% on the 3's to. I skimmed NBA.com real quick last night and noticed that. I'm not sure if it was the entire season or just the last 10 games though.

    as long as he isn't forcing things anymore (often end up with shot being blocked or turnover), he is a very efficient player, a good shooter, a good postup guy with the right matchup.

    He and Yao seem to communicate alot during the game. They are always slapping hands as they run past. That is good to see. That seems like an unlikely relationship, but interesting. He seems to be encouraging Yao to play hard and do certain things.
