    The hell? You've had 2 weeks to schedule this press conference, and you can't even have everyone there in person?

    what difference does it make if he's here in person or not? Do you really want to see his handsome face that bad?

    Ron Celebrates a T-Mac 3333

    Hope people don't get mad at me for posting this. I thought it was funny that Ron threw his hands up in Victory a la Johnny Drama when T-Mac launched his first 3. You can tell he's a fan. He also let Gil take and make one though. So...

    AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT HEARD THE INTERVIEW OF RON ARTEST BY ROCKETS.COM...IT WAS POSTED ON 610 RADIO BUT THEY PULLED IT DOWN..IT WAS A LONG EXTENSIVE INTERVIEW ...

    Ron Artest spoke on his feelings on the trade, Yao Mings' comments, his reaction to the trade initially, his thoughts on his contract with Houston for 1 year, what his vision is for the season (CHAMPIONSHIP OR BUST), reuniting with Rafer, how he feels our Big 3 rank among other top tandems, his "GHETTO" trademark, the meaning behind his 96 number..(# of buildings in his hood and qb is 96..(get it?)....it may be up on Rockets.com

    RON ARTEST IS A TRU WARIER...HE IS A UNTAMED GORILLA!!!!..he'll take Dorsey under his wing and WATCH OUT...THE TOYOTA CENTER IS NOW THE STREETZ

    I'VE GOT A NEW FAVORITE PLAYER HIS NAME IS ......RON ARTEST

    I bet they didn't have it because some of the folks who should be there are in China. Don't you think?

    I wanted to see pictures of him holding up the jersey, and comments and answers from the reporters. A radio interview isn't the same thing for me -- that good enough for you?

    I didn't realize Morey was in China, so that makes more sense now.

    I cant find the interview on Rockets.com and 610 pulled it down....( i guess i shouldn't have posted a fan rant on 610 website concerning the interview(they didnt approve my post)..not long after it was pulled....IT REALLY EXISTS...i think the interviewer was Jason Friedman from Rockets.com...I'm not crazy..when u guys hear it..you'll know what i'm talking about..IT WAS GOOD..i guess they want everyone to tune in at 4:30 5...to hear the "conference call"...You guys should have heard that interview!!!

    I'm still in denial that we somehow traded for Ron Artest without giving up a starter! :eek:

    And for the people whining that we didn't draft Chris Douglas Roberts, feel free to stop now. Morey wanted Greene because the Kings were interested in him. We were basically picking for Sacramento in retrospect. Draft CDR or trade for Artest? Thank you.

    People are complaining about that? Well, he made the right choice.

    However, if you want to get technical, people could still complain that he did not draft Chris Douglas-Roberts with the second round pick. I like Joey Dorsey, but I'm not sure what's going on with his contract demands and why he still hasn't signed a contract with the team. Then, I hear his first love is football, he would love to play it, and there are Texans scouts at the Rockets' practice taking a look at him? Eh, don't like the situation, but I'm sure there is nothing to it and he will be with the team at the start of training camp.

    That is, however, completely separate from the actual decision to draft Joey Dorsey. His reasoning is sound and I'm looking forward to training camp.
