RT @RicBucher: Artest: Don't listen to this head! He watched one play. But not the 2 steals or quick the hands.

If yal remember bird was that fast either but a great team defender!! Maybe because if black guys are slow he is not smart enough to play?

Luke is not as fast but extremely smart!! And a champion!!! So as I say' Don't listen to this ......

Another reason not to listen to this DH. You have to double this strong slow man so Kobe gasol or bynum or fish is open. Vice versa!!

So the DH found one lil thing in training camp. History says that as you get older you become less explosive. But did MJ or horry stop?

I think Celtics lakers championship will be historic this year! It's going to be hard. San An is a underdog. Don't sleep.!

The guy is a bomb, not THE bomb. He should just let his play talk for him, but instead he opts to tell the twitterverse. Way to handle it Artest.
And it continues.
Ric is correct. Ron is slow. He will not be able to guard the quicker players like Ariza did and Kobe will have to do more work on the defensive end.
Ron does guard the bulkier players better and that is something Ariza could not do effectively last year.
I don't understand why Ron is so mad at this? Maybe he is just sensitive because he is self-conscious about it?
HAHAHAHAHAHAH !!!
That is why I think Ron Artest is a cancer, and will screw up the Lakers....he is more worried about someone tweeting the truth than he is about actually working on his game.
DD
Ric is a head though. Your fandom cites that all the time. It's just not your ox gettin' gored at the moment so yer happy about our ox/sans Daddy gettin' gored.
tee, hee.
No, plenty of people in the media call the Spurs old and rip the Spurs all of the time. Fans get butthurt over it, but the Spurs players very rarely say anything. Certainly does not make someone who is accurate a head.
Ron Artest is still learning Lakers' offense
He finishes with six points and two rebounds against the Golden State Warriors at the Forum.
By Broderick Turner
He missed more shots than he made, but Ron Artest played the solid defense the Lakers hoped he would when he signed with them this summer.
Artest missed five of the seven shots he took and all four of his three-pointers.
He finished with six points and two rebounds in an exhibition game against the Golden State Warriors on Friday night at the Forum.
"I was actually on," Artest said. "I felt on. I felt great tonight out there."
In the 25 minutes he played, it didn't look as if Artest got in a rhythm.
He mostly strayed on the outside.
Artest muscled his way in for one of his field goals.
"Ron had some [hard] time out there trying to make shots," Lakers Coach Phil Jackson said. "He hesitated on taking shots a few times. We'll get him in rhythm."
On defense, Artest had two steals.
He hustled for loose balls. He used his body on defenders. He helped on defense. He dived on the floor for balls.
"I was trying to take advantage of some loose balls and trying to get a little more active," Artest said.
All of this is still a process for Artest.
He's still trying to learn the offense.
He's still trying to learn where his spot is on the floor, where his teammates like the basketball.
Once in the first quarter, Artest tried to throw a pass to Kobe Bryant with a defender close by.
Artest was able to squeeze the ball in, but Bryant was unable to do anything with it because he was behind the basket.
There was a moment late in the third quarter when there were fewer than 24 seconds left in the quarter when Artest pulled the ball back out after the Lakers got an offensive rebound.
Sasha Vujacic was wide open in the corner and was begging for the ball.
Artest looked at Vujacic and motioned to the clock, indicating that the Lakers were playing for the last shot of the quarter.
After the game, Artest was asked if he's still learning how to operate in the triangle offense.
"Maybe a little bit," Artest said. "But for the most part, I'm catching on. I'd say I'm maybe four or five practices or maybe two or three games away from really getting the offense down, getting to learn everybody.
"But for the most part, that happened already. For the most part, getting familiar with each other, it already happened. Guys are really comfortable playing with one another."
But, in this case Bucher is a head.
And the Spurs are old & did get butthurt by the Mavs 4-1.
This is a very good point, Whilst Artest will be able to guard the bulkier players like Anthony and LeBron better than Ariza he will get burned by the quicker players.
You might be the worst poster and despite your creative sentences, you lack any creativity with your substance. Just the same things over and over. I see right through your hollowness.
Considering you say it so often, it sounds like you know how that feels.
Here's a site to find yourself partners:

What terminology did you use when the Lakers lost a 3-1 deficit to the Suns in 06?
A course, DPG. Now that you don't have Kobe ringless without Daddy yer lookin' for a fresh booger under our bed. So you've targeted Artest, hopin & prayin' he'll go nutty nuts and you can get off the snide. He may. But, it ain't goin' to erase Kobe riflin' that pass over to Fish and Fish, takin' out that scalpel and diggin' thru the innards of everybody m'fer agin' us.
Where did I say any of that? I said Artest will work out. Does not mean that Ric's assessment was not correct. So shhhhhhh girl, don't make sans daddy put you to sleep.
I was inconsolable. Not since the Summer of '84 was I so butthurt. Bryant quit. An unforgiveable act. It was our penultimate low point as an NBA franchise.
Uh, huh, you can try that dog & pony show on these other fellows, but, it don't fly with this old f'k.
Why are Laker fans so butthurt along with Ron? Ric did not say Ron was going to hurt the team. He simply pointed out an obvious flaw in Ron's game. All players have flaws; that does not make them bad players.
With Ariza, you got better defense with smaller/quicker players and could hide Kobe more on the defensive end.
With Artest, you get a beefed up defender that can guard bulkier players, but now Kobe will have to guard the quicker players.
The Lakers front office thought Ron's skill set would help more, but that does not mean that it did not come without a cost. We will see if they are right.
C'mon Loofah. Are you saying that Artest is handling his business the Laker way OR is he doing it his way where he tells the world that he's not to be disrespected because he's Ron Artest and crazy?
A course not, because head Ric already wrote the story the minute Artest signed in L.A., he just needed the second game to print it.
Well you have been proven wrong on numerous occasions and then you come back with: "you are classified with the company you keep". So don't put words in my mouth you shallow cunny.
So Lakaluva, was Ric wrong with his assessment of Ron? Don't go on about his stats or fit. Was Ric accurate with what he said about Artest's game?
We'll see...remember he has 3 twitter accounts. That's how much Artest loves to tweet.
There are more quick guards than power guards in the league so we'll see how they fair this year defensively.
That is why Artest is right and Bucher is a head.
Fair enough, but do you think that Ron has lost a step? No one will get burned every time, even with a deficiency, but do you think that having Ron trying to guard smaller, quicker players like Ariza will be a problem for Ron?
Like I said, the Lakers front office thought they could use Ron's skillset more than Ariza. Point is, the assessment was spot on and Ariza's deficiencies did not stop the Lakers from winning a le. Will Ron's? Probably not, but it is still a question mark.
