The inverse-TMac defense It's not Artest. . . its the other guy having a bad game. Hatred is a ugly thing Rocket River
Not sure what Artest did to make a Houston fan mad. He was a big part of their most successful season in a long, long time. I wasn't crazy about him coming here but that changed pretty fast. I'll admit that having McGrady on the team made me appreciate his effort a ton more.
To be honest I loved having Artest here, and until I discovered the extent of Yao's injury didn't understand why he wasn't resigned. The only annoying part about Artest was their was one game against the Lakers in the playoffs. I'm still convinced Artest thought he was Kobe or Ray Allen or something because he just kept launching threes(and missing) nearly everytime he got the ball.
Hate on Ron all you want, but he did a great job for us as a Rocket. He was one of the reasons we were able to compete against the Lakers last year. He doesn't fit well in the triangle offense, and those dumbass mind games that Phil Jackson plays doesn't help.
It is in this series thus far. Luke Walton seems to be playing some great defense on him too at the moment. Who knew he had it in him. Whats to figure out. Its obviously because they are both being defended by the guy defending them. I liked Ron before he was a Rocket. I liked Ron while he was here, he had his faults and he had his pluses. I like Ron now.
