Yep. That Artest guy, he sure is a winner who knows how to play?

Nevermind the fact that they can't even run their damned offense because when the ball hits his fingertips, the ball movement comes to a crashing halt.

But "Hey!!! He averages more points than LO, OBIVIOUSLY he's better than LO!!!"

:roll:

Artest is a very good player.

I have never argued that. My concern with him is that he is too selfish with his comments, desires and actions on/off the court. He can fall inlove with shooting a ton of bad shots. He does not faciliate an offense. Defensively, though he is very good and he can impact a game through defense and intensity alone.

Artest, Odom and Bryant could have been very good. It's kinda like how Devean is on some nights for us (that strong athleticism, defense and intensity along with some garbage points) - only to have that almost every game in your starting lineup. Definitely would move us up 2-3 spots in the playoff rankings.

But Artest in place of Odom - Just don't think that would ever have worked out.

Magic - heads up. Don't even bother wasting your time.

Peace

^ Yeah dude, heads up, the LO jockers are going to come out in full force over this one. Poor kids.

If anyone is capable of saying that Lamar is better than Artest = he's just a homer

Never heard of a "ball-stopper"? As in a guy who when the ball is moving crisply and concisely, he stops it because of his own agenda to score and not pass? aka A ballhog?

Figured someone who seems to know so much about basketball would know what a "ball stopper" is.

Note: I didn't say a "defensive stopper".

Now before someone comes along and claims, "we can't say anything negative about Odom, or we'll get banned... blah, blah, blah".

That isn't why either of these lameasses got tossed. It isn't too difficult to figure out. Their M.O. was to call people out, belittle them and start arguments. Tired of their crap.
