Thoroughly. When shots aren't falling, the perimeter players need to GET TO THE BASKET! That's what Artest is doing to keep Sac in the game.
The first few minutes of this quarter almost cost us the game. The Rockets, especially Tracy McGrady, still lacks killer instinct.
If Ron Artest could only get his head in the game. He'd be a Top 3 small-forward. On defense, he's the best in the game (and that counts for something - especially come playoffs). And he's good for at least 17 on the offensive end too.
Tmac hasn't been shooting enough...or he feels like he shouldn't for fear of criticism or something...so he's obviously gone cold and doesn't feel involved in the game.
Cant believe we have people here who would hesitate on a Artest for Battier deal. He is a one man wrecking crew. Add him to Yao and Tmac and its a downright nasty lineup.
Artest is impressive offensively and defensively, the few times I have seen him play he's been dominant.
Please stop that horrible screaming, whoever it is in the crowd. I wish t-Mac had finished the alley-oop
This looks a lot like what happened against New Orleans and Philadelphia. Just relying on Yao and no one else stepping up.
