not a surprise, lots of sources were alluding to beef in the locker room, they're both headstrong guys and alston is a disciplined, run the offense type of guy while Artest likes to play instinctively so no wonder they butted heads. Then Rafer got traded...
So what did Nelson do so well to get it close again...Magic would probably be leading if Rafer were in the game...
I think ron wants Skip back in the game to give the magic the best shot at winning; im pretty sure its sarasm
pietrus would be a perfect player for us. willing to defend, hustle, can shoot the spot up 3, can drive, finish around the rim, athletic, tall...
Pietrus keeping Orlando in this game. Great role player. Reeko, you nailed that...he went right at Kobe.
After the Magic's Big 3, Pietrus has been the next best player for them during the course of the playoffs.
I don't care about his shooting ...Magic were playing much better basketball when Rafer was in the game...
There is no question he has played better than Nelson in this series but that is because Nelson is totally out of form.
