Question?

Lead your answer with yes or no, and justify your point.

Perhaps. Possibly. Probably. Yes, indeed.

Absolutely. The Spurs could use a thug similar to Danny Fortson.

Hell, yeah. A little elbow to the side of Ray Allen's huge melon would help a lot. Not that I condone that sort of thing, but it's an honest answer.

Hey tlong, are the Sonics still Portland's #1 nemesis, or is it the Lakers now?

It is, and always will be the Lakers. The Sonics are a close #2 though due to the geographic proximity.

No.....thug is the reason why....you don't have to be a "thug" to win.

Physical yes.....thugging around, no.

I think Karl being a real man (Rasho is really a 7ft woman) would have elbowed Ray Allen when he tried to drive to the lane. I wish we Karl I would love to see him elbow James a few times.

I actually think TMass can fit that bill nicely...if you want someone to do that....even Big Dog can "nudge" someone from time to time.

Yes, he could have gotten rebounds in game 3. And shot a mid-range jumper.

Aren't you one of the guys who was giving me a hard time in the "trade parker" thread about wanting Artest for that very type of thing? Make up your mind already.

Actually, I never said I didn't want Artest because of his physical play.

The difference between Ron and Malone is that Malone was never suspended for long periods of time, didn't want time off to make a record, and didn't have the locker room problems that Artest does. And Malone never went charging into the stands to knock down a fan. How many times has Malone been suspended anyway? Not as much as Artest, that's for sure. Malone would be more useful to the Spurs than Artest because he would have a better chance of actually being in the playoffs.

However, since neither are in the Playoffs, with any team, it's a totally moot point.
