    "Lost in all that was another secret: Ron Artest is one of the best basketball players on the planet. He is way smarter than you think, one of the most cerebral players bouncing a ball today. His coach, Rick Adelman, said that his job is easier because Ron is so intelligent. Yao Ming said he was gonna leave Staples and scream, at the top of his lungs, about how smart Ron is -- just in case it's not common knowledge. Very few players analyze the game -- especially player matchups -- the way Ron does. That's why he's so effective at shutting down the unshutdownable stars in this league"

    hmm

    That was a nice read. Man its feels weird to be getting this much coverage of the rockets. So this is what the second round feels like. :cool:

    The expectation on Ron is pretty low in terms of normal behavior. Every time Ron does a thing a normal NBA player would do, the media is like "you go Ron".

    Everyone is giddy about the Rockets now but they still have their flaws. Whatever happens I think they need to be careful. If these are the kind of antics that had him on the trade block earlier in the season. I think they need to consider when he won't be restrained by a contract year.
