[CHRON] ROCKETS NOTES:Artest eyes return, Budinger practices and more.

I don't get it. You don't think we'll make playoffs?

 

Can somebody put a box near the Lakers bench so Artest can trip over it?

 

Oh, the Rockets will make the playoffs. I just don't think Mr. I Can't Throw a Stone in The Ocean will somehow become Reggie Miller once the playoffs roll around. Then again, who am I to judge a guy based on his career numbers instead of his numbers in one year's playoffs when he was surrounded by the most talented roster in the league.

Guess you're right. Most players don't improve averages come playoff time.

 

Tracy eyed a return too. Didn't work out so well for him. I wonder why?
