    Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me. Harden is a dirty flopper. I hope he doesn't keep doing that ish as a Rocket.

    I would advise our new max player not to get to close to Artest, for our team's sake!

    There's another video of Artest fouling Rondo on there with the following description that had me cracking up :

    Metta World Peace fouls Rajon Rondo 73 times as they crash to the ground during a Lakers victory over the Celtics. Artest made sure to smack Rondo's head on the ground as he fell.

    I will not boo somebody who played their heart out for us in the playoffs like him. I do not like his antics and other drama, but on the court, he was a warrior for the Rockets and do not ever forget that.

    Still ok in my book. He played his heart out and helped this team sniff the second round when it has not in a very very long time. Something TMAC "it's on me" "it's my fault" couldn't accomplish. As horrible of a player Artest may have seemed here, Metta of LA is worst. I feel that Ron gave it his last "best years" here. Sure he got his ring thanks to Kobe and co., but he's washed up now or since going to the Lakers.

    meh I'm already used to Artests personality, its just who he is and at least he doesn't flop. I'd rather my player playing hard than flopping. Ok artest is a bad example beacuse he plays hard but sometimes just he does not give a single f*** which could be detrimental to the team overall.

    Harden brings what Scola and Battier used to, good body position defensively to allow for the highest chance of getting the call. Those two clips of him vs Chandler and Ginobli irk me a little though, hopefully he doesn't have to stoop to those levels but I understand it's almost a must these days given everyone else does it. With the new anti-flopping penalties in place hopefully we won't see no more flopping!
