Kings Cry Foul As Artest Gets Suspension

[Cant_Be_Faded]

If that's their game plan, R.I.P. Kings.

ROFL

that's almost as funny as the Mav's strategy being to foul Bowen back in '03

[yeahone]

well hopefully martindoes a better job on parker that bibby did

[SpursWoman]

Uh, no.

[boutons_]

hey, Bozo Wells, the League isn't out to get Artest, but the whole ing world, except Ron, knows that if Ron s up, the League will be watching and ready to react.

It's up to Ron, not the NBA, whether he's "gotten" or not.

Ron ed up, he got ed back, and ed up yet another team.
The guy is a psychopath.

"Sometimes it can be your worst nightmare when a good player is out on another team, because everybody else can pick up their games," Popovich said. "We're not going to change a whole lot. I'm more concerned about the mental part of the deal for us."

I said this exact thing in another thread and some dumbfvck named Slinkyman questioned my fanhood. I'm gonna slap him with some SPAM.

i know this is a little off topic...but can we get rid of the "cry foul" phrase for every headline

I'd be willing to bet money that, inspite of what Pop says, he's not really despondent over Artest's suspension.

Pop is full of it. He's just using standard coach speak to turn something that could lead to his team being overconfident into something that causes them to focus. All Coaches do this...except Jimmy Johnson.

No matter how many hallucinogenics ingested...in no way are the Kings better, or do they have a better chance at winning on Tues, with Artest out of the lineup.

[exstatic]

Uh, no. It's the thread le.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Tomorrow worries me even more now. The Spurs have a tradition of playing down to the level of the compe ion when their best player is out.

Throw on top of that the fact that they are coming off a game where they shot so well and then had that reinforced by Pop giving them Sunday off, and tomorrow screams set up game.

[RON ARTEST]

If that's their game plan, R.I.P. Kings.

the reason they are doing that is because he is ver very quick and athletic. plus he can score like crazy. i cant wait.

[exstatic]

Well, their offense will be better with Mr. FG% in the 30s yet hogs the ball out of the game. I don't think anyone on their team can stay in front of Manu or Tony, though, with Artest out. , Finley may be driving to the hoop.

i agree a little about the offense but you have to understand he hasnt been here a whole seaon and hasnt even had a training camp with us. and as far as staying in front of parker and manu thats what im worried about. its gonna have to be good team defense not individual if were gonna have a chance to steal game 2.

So the Pistons did it? I never accused the Pistons of having any heart, but okay, I surrender. I therefore amend my original statement to now read: "Bulletin board material is for inferior teams."

Are we all happy now?

The Pistons tried to use the River Parade for bulletin board material in game seven also. But I guess that kind of thing only works once in a seven game series.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

So Martin's guarding Tony

Who's guarding Manu now that Rappin' Ron Artest is out?

Was that River Parade planning true, or did the Pistons just make it up for the bulletin?

No doubt, but I don't know that he could do any worse than Bibby. Mike was pretty bad, and the bigs certainly didn't have his back. Parker can run circles around either of them.

Speaking of which, he's really matured as a player. He seems to know where to pick his spots.

As for the Artest suspension, it doesn't seem warranted to me, but I'll take it. I think the Kings have good reason to cry foul, but hopefully the Spurs will take advantage and won't ease up.

who's Bibby gonna guard? Manu? Either Manu or Parker will make short work of Bibby, and either of them is capable of putting up layups fast.

[RON ARTEST]

most likely bonzi.

bibby will guard bowen.

I heard it was the Argentina President that called Stu Jackson.

Can you hear what people say from down there?

Can you hear what people say from down there?

yeah, didn't you know? they say physically impaired people tend to develop higher sensivity on all their other senses. Although this is the first case I've encountered where being abnormally short increased one's hearing capabilities wEiRd!

[Scobe]

most likely bonzi.

Bonzi guarding Manu? Manu should be very aggressive in this one. No way Bonzi has a chance of staying in front of him. And even Bowen should get some looks with Bibby having to leave him to help out Bonzi and Martin.

shouldnt you be helping rebuild your pathetic team who didnt even make the playoffs in the awful eastern conference.

[cheguevara]

Love that Kings fans are so obsessed w/Manu. Arco arena is gonna be booing him like crazy, and you know how that turns Manu on. Game 3 and 4 are gonna be Manu classics!

[KingsFanWithoutName]

The Bibby/Bowen matchup should be a fun one to watch. Bowen is the one guy Bibby can actually guard since all Bibby has to do is cover him in the corner. Bowen will be harrassing Bibby all day, we'll see how Bibby responds.
