"Lakers were the first team to call on July first at 12:01am. I was pissed also. I did not know Yao would go down and continuing...."

Any Rocket fan who is really that upset about Artest leaving is just silly. All Artest did last last year was play d, hit some 3's early in the season, and miss everything else.

It didn't take him long to adjust. lol

So when the Lakers eventually get rid of him, is he going to cut his balls off?

Artest's antics inside the Rockets Lockerroom are starting to come out. First dude liked to walk around in his underwear. That one story of him running down from his hotel room dressed in nothing but his skivvies and onto the bus where Les Alexander could see the whole thing didn't lend to the Rockets wanting him back. Artest also was a ball hog and jacked up a lot of missed shots.

Artest is a loose cannon.

LOL i wouldent want him back either, I remember reading a article where it said he almost missed the bus the first 3 games of the Houston-Lakers series, 1 series he rode the bus in just his underwear.

^The team took us out of the first round(Yao and Brooks to be more specific). Artest almost lost it for us with his 39% shooting and allowing Roy to look better than Kobe, because he was to slow to stay in front of him.

He became the identity of that team, and they did more with him as the temporary face of the franchise than Yao/Francis/McGrady had in their entire tenures.

I like how

Tmac can average 30-6-6 in the playoffs on 43% vs. a matchup which exploits all our strengths and lose, while Artest shoots like 34% vs. an extremely favorable matchup and somehow people think Artest single handedly carries us to our success.

Brooks, Scola, Landry, Lowry, etc. are what got us into the second round. If McGrady were playing we would of swept Portland.

I still find it a little ignorant to hear ROCKETS/SAC TOWN fans bitch about Artest jacking up a ton 'o shots with guys like Kevin Martin,Bibby,TMac and Yao sitting with lengthy injuries.
Put him on a club with two other guys that can score and actually show up everynight and Artest is a solid #3 option.

The Franchise

08-14-2009, 05:18 AM

We would have been a better team with a healthy McGrady in Rons' place last year. We went to the second round thanks to Aaron Brooks and Yao, because I don't remember Artest doing shit in the Portland series to help our cause. Is shooting 39% and being beaten off the dribble 85% of the time some type of incredible leadership skill that I'm not aware of? I admit Artest helped us a few times last year, but Rocket fans know he hurt us just as much. I'm going to try and make this my last post about Artest, because he's not our problem anymore. He's a Laker now and will be until his balls fall off, so good luck to them.

Thank god The Franchise has finally decided to shut the fuck up about Artest, seriously dude please move on. You had about 600 straight post about how horrible Artest is. Ron as the fourth option on my team, I'll take that all day, thanks.

The post was more about giving credit where credit is due. I hate it when uneducated fans try to throw praise on someone without checking the facts.

glad he set the record straight there.

artest is a dumb ass nigga.

He's having the time of his life. He understands fully the finite nature of the deal:

- Death twitches my ear. "Live," he say, "I am coming."

- Virgil

Arty listened up.

The_Game

08-14-2009, 10:27 AM

Artest as a 3rd option he will be able to focus on defense and still give good scoring numbers unlike last year where he had to be one of the main guys...can't help but think in L.A Artest is going to be a great fit and a nightmare for teams to guard L.A.

He simply won't...he knows what L.A is all about. Only an idiot would think Artest would try and take over in L.A when we all know who's team it is.

Artest has already gone on record saying he will concede to the Black Mamba. Isn't it kinda sad, that teams are hoping the best way to beat the lakers is to have artest kill the chemistry. Umm shouldn't other teams gameplans involve trying to actually beat their opponent instead?

Oh btw, If spurs fans think Artest is the only one prone to taking "me-first, team-killing" shots and chucking his team out of games, maybe they should have ordered the league pass last year and taken a look at what Jefferson does. I had jefferson in my fantasy league and dropped him in less than 3 weeks, and no one in my league even bothered to pick this guy up on waivers. Sure he can get you 20 points a game, but look how awful his shooting percentages are, and I know for a fact the Bucks played better whenever this turd was off the floor, you could see it instantly. Nothing that Jefferson ever did last year, helped Milwakee in terms of winning games.

08-14-2009, 11:06 AM

Artest won't kill chemistry on the Lakers. If anything he's good for chemistry. He'll just quietly make them less efficient offensively when he tries to take someone off the dribble and the ball gets swatted at the rim for the 4th time in a game.

Great Shorts!

It's pretty obvious the Rockets didn't really want him back and definitely not long term, good move for the Rockets I think. Rockets weren't really going anywhere this year, no need to deal with Artest who brings both talent and craziness.

Ron Artest is certifiably crazy, he definitely belongs on the Lakers.

Indazone

08-14-2009, 12:45 PM

All I know is how close the Rockets were to getting Brandon Roy and had to settle for Rudy Gay which we traded for Shane Battier in 2006. How different looking would the Rockets look like if we had gotten Brandon Roy instead.
