[Chron] Ron Artest to the Rockets!!!

[moofs]

By "imaginary party" I mean that I voted for a real write-in candidate, but accidentally misspelled his name and didn't realize it until later.

In reality, it was every bit as effective as it would've been had I not brain-farted.

When I saw he picked Biden, I said to myself, "What the F@*K?!?"

The theme of his campaign is change, so he picks one of the most senior politicians in Washington. Good pick, Obama. From New England, no less. Republicans are going to LOVE that.

OT, but O could not have picked a better VP

Ive been following Biden since the bosnian war, he's on point and I like that...he will kill any republican VP in the debates, or even McBush

anyways, Ron Artest will brng this team to the finals, mark my words

Its his bread and butter on the offensive end. He's just too big and strong for wings(and that includes the defensive stoppers like Bowen,Battier,Sjax). A lot of teams were putting PFs on him where Artest would use his quickness and skill to beat them. One guy Artest had trouble with on 1 on 1 matchups was Chuck Hayes. Normally he'd try to beat big men off the dribble but Hayes has quick feet and was able to stay in front of him while being strong enough to bang with him in the post.

I thought Bonzi, in the limited minutes he got, did a good job on him too (combo of size and foot speed). Anyone else he seemed to torch at will.

(Like everyone else) Am really looking forward to getting a good look at Ron next season. From what I saw against us, even disregarding the post he's damn near impossible to guard on the perim cause once he gets an angle on his defender going to the hoop he's too broad across the shoulders for his defender to recover against. Plus, his J was always on fire - but I assume he was a bit streakier when he wasn't playing the Rockets.
