i fricking hate this dude. i have to give it up to the rockets. they would be the LAST team i'd want to play if we were able to make the finals but it would kill me as a basketball fan to ever see this piece of crap win a title. the refs thru the years have turned him into a better player than he is (like dennis rodman). he's already a very good defender but the x cheap shots he throws that they let him get away with ...uggh. hate him.

The only difference between him and Posey is that he punched a fan.

People say the same things about KG, so quite frankly I have no right to complain about Artest

no way man, Artest is like a bad person, he's a scumbag. Posey played hard, sometimes cheap, and got under peoples skin, but Ron is the type of player that would try to hurt you if it would benefit his team. the way he body slammed Ray tonight, and the way he smacked PP in the face in preseason. They have similiar styles but Artest is a whole other level. I'd venture to say he's above Rodman in the cheap shot category.

now that i've watched this.... we should sign Ron Artest as our 6th man, the second unit defenitly wouldn't lack defensive intensity, plus we're alreay known as a trash talking bully type team.

uhh... Ben Wallace is what we call an "unstable individual". He gets kinda angry, kinda quickly.

Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

on the court i agree completely....simply going off of hearsay, id say all signs point to posey being a much better person off the court, but on the court u cant really hate a guy for playing the way artest does or posey does. great defenders are often dirty...posey, artest, bowen, rodman, mj, etc.


i love posey...but he is def dirty, but i wont hate him for it

To be honest, I love Ron Artest.  I really can't wait to watch him in the playoffs...especially if he gets to match up against Kobe for 7 games.  Yeah, he is a pain in the ass, but you can tell that all of the other players really respect him (especially Pierce), because he really wants to win out there.

I would LOVE Artest on our team. There is another thread out there that questions what Ray Allen's value across the NBA. As solid as Ray has been with us, I would do that trade straight-up (even though Ray makes MUCH more and we would have to match salaries). Artest may be a bit of a scumbag, but he plays basketball with so much heart- and he has the skill to back it up...

I honestly don't think Pierce likes artest and has little to no respect for him whatsoever
artests game is ugly, it honestly looks like an NFL player playing basketball, Pierce does a good job of just ignoring him, always has

Classic love to hate em' guy.  He may be frustrating to watch, but you have to respect Ron's game. 

Houston is very dangerous, imho.  Come June it will be clear to all the talking heads that he is their best player.  Nobody is a bigger 2-way matchup problem than Ron Artest in a 7 game series.   

I got the Rockets coming out the West this year b/c of his contribution and what I think is the best D in the West.  I think Ron will give Kobe fits and outplay him over the course of a 6-7 game series.  With a healthy Yao, Lakers front court is also at a serious disadvantage.  This team is so deep that they really don't even need McGrady, fortunetely for them.

Artest sometimes substitute playing good basketball with wwf moves to make up for getting beat on plays by quicker and better players,especially when he's playing hurt.He probably should be on the injury list for weeks but they have been alternating him and T-Mac for awhile.I think some ref's will let him get away with more than others,and he pretty well got them down to a science which refs he can get over on.Is it fair,not at all,but is Lebron crab dribbing fair,or is D.Wade carrying the ball fair without any calls?Its up to the officials to make the calls.As long as these players are allowed to break the rules it will continue.
