I am sorry Kings' fans

Artest will probably guard Manu more than he guards Bruce. But Bruce/Artest is an interesting matchup (one that would cripple Sacto).

The only problem I have with that argument is Mike Bibby. He is the most experienced, talented, and effective player - in combination - on the Sacramento roster. If he's on, he can create space for Artest offensively.

City smack is the lamest thing in the world when talking about sports teams. On both sides, shut the heck up with the city smack.

Hmmmmm, where was this... pretty much every time the Spurs have played the Sonics? I tend to pretty much hate the city of Seattle myself but I thought some posters were going a bit too far. Not that it matters now at all, just wondering.

Oh yeah, and Spurs in four.

I think Bonzi and Artest will give the Spurs some problems. They're both big for their position and don't play in the perimeter. They like to post up weaker guards. IMO Artest at 260 can attract double teams with his post up ability which will open shots for other players.

[B]Ah yes..........I love the smell of smack in the morning!

Bibby is one of the most clutch players in the league, and has been known to come through in the playoffs when it matters.

Wait, doesn't he play for the Kings?

Hey all Kings fans, I got just one thing to say ---

I don't think Parker is a ty player, I just think someone needs to foul him hard and lay his ass on the floor so he'll think twice about scoring in the paint. We're not talking about other players or teams choking, don't confuse the issue...we're focusing on TP

I will agree that in the past years, that has been a problem. If TP took a couple of hard licks going in, he would quit trying. But that is behind him. Now he has taken a page from Manu's playbook. If they knock him on his ass, he just comes back harder at em the next time.

If you're depending on TP calling it quits at any point this year, you are going to be disappointed.

Tony has pretty much carried this team the entire year. He is on a mission to prove that he deserved to be an all star.

If Jerome James did this, what will Nazr do.

FINALLY San Antonio draws Sacramento in the playoffs!

Artest won't guard Bowen. He will guard Manu.

Bowen will guard Artest and spend some time on Bonzi.

Oh man, just hearing that is making me FULLY realize that the playoffs are here.
Spurs fans will HATE Artest for the next 2 weeks.
I can't wait!!!
