Artest's offensive game has suffered since he has been with the Rockets. I remember in Sacramento and Indiana he would drop 30-40 point games. Playing with better teammates has something to do with it I'm sure. I never really watched Artest before, but how did he score on other teams? The most potent move I've seen him perform is when he goes to his left and takes a jumper. Other than that, he gets owned when he drives. For such a strong player, I think he might be the most blocked player on our team.

You know who needs more touches.

Scola

how can he take 8 shots in the 1st quarter, score 15 points and than only 2 shots in the 2nd half in the last game. lol

I blame this on AB, who has failed to recognize who has the hot hand. Its the PG duty to insure your best shooters are getting the ball.

I swear AB constantly looks for Artest, its a lose lose situation.

True, scola has been our most consistent player. I wouldnj't mind him taking more shots.

If he shoots better and takes better shots he'll get more touches. Right now we just need to put forth the type of team effort that got us to this point.


You didn't read my post did you? I said he needs more touches in the post.


Well we didn't do much post stuff tonight. But he shot it well and he got more touches. Drove it. Playing well right now. I think we do the right thing with Artest. He is an inconsistent scorer as most natural 3rd options are. When he is going...he gets the ball. When he isn't...we have to get the contribution from Scola, Wafer, Brooks.

fixed ... :wink: In all honesty it´s hard to be mad at him after last nights win and his adressinghte fans and the press conference (though : Boy, that guy can be delusional. Crazy Pills indeed :lol: ). I´ll cut him some slack here but still think a slap on the head every other night would be the proper course of action :wink:

But yeah, thank Ron for showing up big tonight :)

Ron Ron needs more touches in the post and less on the perimeter

if he can drive in more and try to create inside he will be much more effective

speaking of needing more touches...he's getting plenty here :D
