    I'm not sure if he's going to actually interview T-Mac or just go off of the reports but I'm tuning in...

    a lot of people is going to cry here but I would have preferred to trade Battier instead of Green.

    But I am pretty happy anyway. We are a better team and contenders now.

    Scottie Pippen part 2: I will try to root for him, despite my loathing for him prior to the trade. Hopefully, this one turns out better than the Scottie Pippen deal, though I don't expect it to. I can say it was a good trade, at least. This coming season at least is a contract season for Artest.

    You can go to bodog.com, but they just closed futures betting for basketball.

    I checked pinnaclesports.com and they just did the same thing. Looks like we're too late to get the 15-1 odds.

    That one lineup is almost like an all-defensive team. Totally nuts. All this talk almost made me forget about B. Barry.

    Who's not looking forward to next season?

    the possibility of that happening is there obviously. but the window for the tmac-yao duo is very small (2-3 yrs max). they're in a win-now mode.

    Bad news for posters who like to call players by their acronyms: Ron Artest, Rick Adelman, and Rafer Alston.

    S.Smith ~ "T-Mac recognizes what everyone else in the league recognizes about Ron Artest, and this puts Houston in the upper echelon in the league"

    Seems like it has his stamp of approval.
