maybe MJ can give him a box, there might be a jump shot in there.


Two things...

1. What does a jump shot have to do with defense?

2. If Artest has lost his jump shot, then Ariza's has been buried alive. Dude's at 38 percent this year, including 31 ( :o ) on six 3s per game.

Love Trevor, but we've got a much better matchup now for the likes of Pierce, LBJ and Melo, any one of which we could see in an important playoff series.
