    Artest has no conscious, and the worst part is no one on the team is man enough to stop him by not feeding him the ball.

    That alone is enough to make me wish Rafer and his leadership.


    PS. I do however like the PG combo we have.

    I'm scared for the play-offs because I have a feeling he will try to step up even more and fail. But I reaaaallly hope I am wrong.

    Bill said it exactly how it is. Someone has to try and get through to Ron otherwise, it will not be a happy playoff run.

    Right.
    'Someone' has a name...I think he calls himself Rick.
    From what I hear, it's his job.

    well you can't really blame the point guards they're second and third guards respectively and your trying to control a veteran leader of the team, its not that easy

    without Artest, we'd be playing for Lottery positions right now..

    quit your whining, it's not like your boy Yao will go under his season average if Artest took away a couple of shots..

    Artest actually took a lot of open shots tonight. Sometimes he goes off into a world of his own but tonight the shots he took he almost had to take. Like Rafer used to have to do. Like my old comparison, Texas Tech has to run the ball sometimes to keep things honest.

    I can totally live with getting on Artest's ass. But tonight... not so much.

    LMAO, @ quit your whining


    excusing him does not excuse the problem.


    A closer game and his antics will cost us the game.

    Without him, it wouldn't be a close game, we would lose. Artest wins us games. He is the leader this year's team.

    Will you care when he does cost us playoff games because people with a mentality similar to yours in the Rockets coaching staff didn't reign him in before? You'll be whistling the same tune when we get kicked out of the first round again because Ron was acting like a r****d, right? Albeit an entertaining r****d.

    Yeah, tonight's probably not the night you wanna go on one of your 'saviour Artest' rants cuz Artest flat out played dumb, selfish, and like crap. It's worrisome when he goes nuts like this but it's even more worrisome that there are probably enablers with your mindset in the coaching staff that shield him from criticism or refuse to correct his bad behavior. We'll see if it costs us in the playoffs.
