Artest
- Thread starter Sac.Kings
- Start date
5 games in 7 nights on some heavy minutes and a tired legs of a guy that hasn't played in well over a month tends to leave you looking like we did tonight. I wonder how bad it would have been had Artest not been there creating or getting at least 8 turnovers. A little rest, a little time, and everybody healthy and we will make a legitimate run at the playoffs.
I love THIS team
thank you GP

You certainly can't fault his performance tonight. I think I liked a couple of things best: first, the way he was pointing out the open man to KT, although it didn't work out; second, the way he called the team together and had a bit of a team huddle on the court; third, the way he was seriously talking to Cisco as they came out of a commercial break.
What I liked the best, however, was the look on Paul Pierce's face whenever he looked up and saw Ron's face, which he did all night.

Ron played and acted like a leader. He looked pretty bummed when the game was over though. I'm going to love seeing his play, once he gets into shape we can still turn it around, we will be that team nobody wants to play in the playoffs. One more trade though, for a shotblocker/athletic/rebounding PF. I like how when he plays, the team plays good D, it's like he was showing them how but then when he went out we just couldn't play D and nobody else could really hit a shot all night long. If we got more rebounds we would've won though, that's where getting Bonzi back comes into play. Man I'd love to get Kenyon Martin, imagine: Bibby/Bonzi/Ron/Kenyon/Brad. That lineup is nasty.

i believe ron still leads the pacers plus minus stats ...
remember this about rons defense, and i think ive mentioned it before....hes the only player in the league that the opposing player fears....never underestimate how significant that can be....if u step on the court and are basically scared of the guy guarding u, ur pretty much doomed...
Ron's got great hands and yes he does always reach for the balls. Wait for about 15 - 20 games and his fingers will be all taped up from him reaching, and then his shooting suffers a little. His hands are quick, strong and huge. His fingers are so long
Rick better get him in post up situations, that is where he's best on offense. One thing that Ron does do that many Pacer fans did not like he hangs on to the ball too long.
