but yet people point to tracy (at least he has had offensive games where he's great--sure mixed in with some pathetic games too). or even rafer, who has rebounded well from a miserable start. and yao is slowly rounding into form in the last few games in terms of fg%. artest continues to be bad. i know he'll play better, but how much better? he's been getting great shots. zero double teams. playing against secondary defenders b/c the other is on tracy. i don't know how much he'll get better though. that's what scaring me. but i hope i'm wrong. when shane returns and artest goes to the bench, hopefully he'll be much better. b/c i'll take rafer any day over ron artest right now.
Well the continued excuse is because he expands energy on defense. Terrible excuse to me but that is what it is on this board.
