Watching the team all season (and for years before that), Ron's been a consistent and skilled passer. Specifically, he's found Hawes for various baskets on a regular basis this season, when Hawes has played (mostly has gotten limited and erratic PT). So I wouldn't just rule it out like that, that Ron wouldn't of found Hawes for baskets. When the past evidence is there, not only between those two, but from Ron in general being a passer in multiple ways. I see the team and Artest every game.
That game at Arco a few days ago was one of the times where he had poor shot selection on 3 or 4 shots. No doubt. But stuff like that happens much less than not, over the course of the season. The last time it was like that from him was against Golden State earlier in the season, and Kevin Martin went quiet in the 4th qtr in that game, too. And the Warriors really d'ed up in the 4th qtr on the Kings. Ron went more nuts with shots in that game than the Lakers game, just lately.
