You can watch it live right here on CBS13.com. __________________ tick, tick, tick, tick, BOOM! (sarcasm warning from a Pacers fans) I, for one, am shocked. Someone with a previous history of domestic issues, serious mental health issues that he refuses to have treated, and a generally unstable personality running afoul of the law? Shocked I tell you.
He should have been arrested for letting his dog starve. I would seriously consider not watching the Rockets if they ever put that piece of excrement on the team. Lo-ho-se-her.
So I guess the whole Artest/Bibby thing finally blew over... Oh I want him! Yes, sir! We need a loose cannon on this team. Too many 'country club' type guys to win a ring.
I can't believe some bbsers wanted him on our team. That guy just can't stay out of jail or suspension.
I still can't believe that Maggette for Artest deal didn't pan out. I would've been win win for both teams.
I've always thought highly of Geoff Petrie, but I could not understand what he was thinking. You either get nothing for Ron Ron or you get Maggette. Duh! With not trading either Bibby or Ron Ron, Petrie has moved several notches lower on my GM ranking.
