    Talked about the PETA PSA and how he got involved.

    - Said that he hadn't been doing the right things and when it happen Peta contacted him and taught him some of the better things to do to take care of his dogs. Had a lot of them.

    Hoffy asked if he had dogs growing up.

    - Said he had cats... like 10 at a time and the house smelled because of them. But his wife doesn't like cats so they got dogs instead.

    Asked if he was still involved

    - he said yes and that he told his people if they had something coming up and his schedule could allow to make sure he was booked.
    - Also said that he used to be afraid of bulldogs, but when he was in Indiana he got his dogs from an animal shelter and they told him that bulldogs weren't bad if they were raised the right way.
    - said the PETA bulldog licked him in the face.
    - Right now doesn't have any animals in Houston - gave them away and some are up for adoption.
    - Hopefully when he's settled in Houston he can get some more dogs.

    Jumped on that 'settled in Houston' asked if that means he wants to stay.

    - Ron said yes he thinks the fans and the organization is pleased with his play and settling here would be good for his family.

    asked if being with pets makes him a nicer person...

    - says he doesn't think that anyone would say he was nice... but he's learning to control his temper and such

    Nuno asked Was he holding back in the beginning.

    - When he first got here he knew that he didn't need to score a lot, just wanted to find a way to be an asset. At the time he wanted to do a lot of what Shane is doing now, defend the best player, etc.
    - Knew that he was going to have to score from the outside so worked on his jumper during the summer.
    - But now that mac is out he can help by score
    - Not in the rythymn he wants to be in just yet, but just wants to get better and better for the playoffs. and that they can still win a championship.

    Relationship with mac

    - Good
    - Says that Mac was the first to call and invite him and his wife to dinner and introduce him to his wife etc
    - Always believes that they can win a championship.

    Nuno asked about why he shoots a lot of threes?

    - Says that it doesn't matter as long as we win... there's a lot of games when he's shooting well, so he's going to continue to do that.
    - If it's not falling he's going to start going to the basket.

    Nuno asked how do you balance going to the post when there's Scola Yao taking that spot.

    - Ron says he had to adjust his game because he didn't want to sacrifice Landry and Scola's game in order to get his game on.

    Asked about the Kobe game...

    - basically said that he and kobe have lots of respect for each other - lots of battle over the years.
    - Kobe's defense got better as Ron's offense got better... they are meeting at the top and the only difference is Kobe's ring.

    Nuno - Will you meet in the WCF

    - thinks we will
    - best two teams in the western conference

    Asked about Georgetown Girl

    - watching college ball title came to him and he tried to contact AI.
    - tries to do it whenever he has time

    Who did he follow growing up

    - says mom was a old school fan, Al green etc then started to step out and find things on his own
    - favorite stuff then was oldies
    - now hip hop

    NCAA

    - yes did a bracket
    - sad that no stephen curry - doesn't know who to watch now
    - filled out the bracket randomly - no favorite for him.

    He said "of course Yao" when they were talking about the low post scoring.

    Damn I'm late. I wonder if someone asked him about the interview he did when he was traded here. I believe it was something like anything less than a championship is a failure this year. I wonder if he still feels that way since McGrady is out for the season.

    From the recap from Hayesman it seems like it was a pretty good interview. I hope the guy doesn't have second thoughts and sign else where.

    "Tayshaun has been the best player on our team all season. He should be an all-star"


    We started playing great when Ron decided to attack the basket the other night, that needs to continue. The 3's will fall eventually but we need to dominate the paint if we want to go deep in the playoffs.
