I saw that from a distance ! I was at a bar with some friends and I was checking the score on my cell and I just stopped checking it because they were slaughtering the bulls !! I looked up for a glance at one of the TV's and so Artest all mad and the final score and I yelled "WTF" all my friends were like " whats wrong !! " So he wasn't fouled....hmmmmm Well like you said at least he showed some emotion ! Hell I'm just a fan and I almost through my beer mug at the screen
Man I can't remember the last time Tmac has taken responsibility for a loss. Responsiblity for taking too many threes. I told yall, it was better LONGTERM for Artest to realize he can't do it by himself. He makes those shots and he was going to screw it up come playoff time. It's better for him to realize now than game 7 down by 2 in the playoffs.
Shane: "There were times Yao got position we did not hit Yao and we didn’t score. It’s not all on Yao. It’s on perimeter guys to get him the ball." (Artest/Brooks)
It's just one road game. We are alright. Don't point the blame on Yao, Ron, AB, etc. We lost a road game by three to a talented, young team that is hungry for every victory they can get. You guys cant get so down after a seven game win streak. It has to come to an end sometime.
I'm just stating that a back to back with a hot team will be tougher thats all ! I've been on this board since 99 ( changed my username long story ) and a fan since 1980 so I'm far from a band wagon fan. One thing you do need to understand on this board is that people come here to vent their frustrations and not every one is the same. Some have the "its okay we will get the next one " mentality where some have the " #$%$^$%^^%%^$* " mentality everyone is just different and takes this game more serious. I used to break things I used to be real bad when the Rockets lost but I like my heart so I had to calm down Its just a game but everyone here Loves the Rockets and no one likes a 17 point blown lead !
You are both Idiots. Maybe the league should expand the Lakers roster to 200 so you can get every player on the Lakers. Go away
artest wanted to be the hero and failed. play smart next time and pass the damn ball once for a while. other than that, thank you. we need leadership, and vision. (artest doesn't have it)
Friggen Ron Artest CHOKED down the stretch...the entire team stopped playing together and Ron stopped playing team ball. Just ridiculous....too much one on one...and they choked. DD
i dont know if u guys observed that during the 4th quarter, most of our big man are tired.. namely luis and yao..
Thank you DD now Tell bornred87 that So DD isn't it just unacceptable to blow a 17 pt lead in the 4th ? WTH ?
We just gotta hope that he's not all talk when he says sorry. Let's hope he's learned from his lesson. He was playing great until the last few minutes in the 4th and he tried to be the hero.
Scola has been playing a lot of minutes and Yao always gets tired in the 4th. I'm not bashing Yao he is just a big guy who can only give you so many minutes per game
talk is cheap. i reserve my suspicions on ron's so-called "leadership". let's see how he plays for the rest of the season.
You can't take all of the fault on Yao. I think when someone is fronting Yao, he can't get the position all the time, but that doesn't mean he has no opportunity. But we really need some one who can see that Yao is available in a flash. I saw many times when Yao got around the defender, but his team mates were dribbling or taking the jumpers.
Okay, well I understand, but you dont really understand the "politician type flip-floppers" comments I am reading from todays Post Game Analysis as opposed to Thursday nights.... So this is what im going to do, call out specific posters whose opinions have drastically changed in the past 48 hours. Look for a Thread to pop up in the next hour called "Flip Flop Fans" where it will have specific quotes from multiple souces of the last 2 games analysis. It is going to be quite funny, and it will also give me some time to cool off...
I didn't watch the game but it sounds like Artest went back to his old ways of shooting those stupid fade away jumpers and never passing ?
