Trumped Again By The Lakers

And he was also torched by Kobe and Roy during the playoffs. By the way it would be nice if a reporter on LA asks him if he still thinks that Roy is better than Bryant.

You obviously haven't watched RJ play recently.

No, not much. But I bet you haven't either.

Artest does have a post game. You just don't watch basketball outside of SA. You're ignorance is hilarious.

Last year I watched more Rockets games than Spurs games. The fact that he sometimes got the ball with his back to the basket doesn't mean he has a post game.

Oh and RJ shit his way to a 43 field goal percentage on his way to the lottery :lol

Which is still better than the 39% that Ron shot playing with Yao and T-Mac.

They don't beat Portland without Artest. It's a fact.

He was by far the worst Rockets player of the series, what the fuck are you talking about?

Quote:

RJ was exposed on the Bucks, 43% without a super passing PG or wing to create shots for him. He's a volume shooting blackhole that doesn't play defense now. His FG% was inflated by J-Kidd and RJ proved he can't carry a team by himself. Artest has (see the Kings), carried them straight to the playoffs and took the Spurs to 6 games.

RJ won't be the alfa dog on the Spurs, he will have a similar role to the one he had on NJ, so that doesn't concern me at all. While on the other hand, go check Artest numbers when he can be the top guy and compare them to the ones he has when he has to play a secondary role.

Look I'm not talking bad about Artest 'cause he signed for the Lakers, I've always talked this way about him. Go check what I had to say about him when the Rockets played the Lakers last season or when there was a rumour about him signing for the Spurs.
