    Ron is right,

    Now Yao can say "It was nice to see Ron playing within the offense and sticking to the game plan, he hasn't done that all year, he has to get better at that".

    :D

    Man..SEe..things liek this...from ppl like you, always try to start something out of nothing. They are teammates who are learning how to play together. There is always going to construstive critism towards the ppl you play with. IT doesnt mean anything. This is the kind of stuff that start s*** between ppl and stirs up the media to make it a big deal. Grow up. It was just some GOOD ADVICE..and Its the TRUTH!

    T-Mac never ever took constructive criticism the right way. Hope Yao does.

    Yao should be offended... that Ron didn't say this earlier.

    Lets not forget that Ron called Yao "the most dominant player in the NBA", have to take the bad with the good.

    artest is right. but he also needs to watch himself and see how he ballhogged to start the game.

    it's completely ok! yao wouldn't be offended at all. A team needs communications, so I actually believe it's a good sign. EVERYBODY CARES!

    It's called accountability.

    I'm glad we have someone who's finally willing to bring out the best in their teammates.

    Well, the key is to "get there early". Kind of like saying, to out run Usain Bolt is a 100 meter sprint, you just need to get there early :rolleyes:

    Artest said the right thing, and Yao knew it. Yao is a good listener, but not a quick learner sometimes. Deke said the same thing before, and then Yao starts to improve his block skill since then. Hope the best.

    As YAO gets more of those type of blocks
    I think he will get more benefit of the doubt from the Refs

    Also more respect from the opposition....

    What made Olajuwon so good was the fear of driving the ball to the hole....

    Artest is a smart man. He is a good guy and is definently looked upon the wrong way.

    Ain't a damn thing wrong with that...anyone who has a problem with that also has a problem with one man pushing another to get better.

    about time

    and yao is the man...i believe that...but i also believe that the great ones need a push. garnett pushes others...nothing wrong with it. and yao should respect that and im sure he does

    if they could fight Juntao and the Triads while they're on vacation, that would be even cooler.

    Ron may be right about the things he says, but he does terrible non winning plays all game long and his teammates are not voicing them out the the media like he does. He is so cocky is really bothers me at times.....Lebron james is a reincarnation of Ron artest cmon man

    come on deke was furious abt yao taking charges when he re-joined rox and screamed at yao more than once...it is all good...yao will never take it in the negative way...
    dun even compare the attitudes between yao and sissy tmac...

    He said new and improved version, as if Lebron is better than him.

    saying a guy needs to get better at a defensive move is not even close to saying he needs to work harder and is coasting on only his talent.
