I wonder how Ron will react if he's told to quit shooting so much? He has the skills to help so much on the offensive end.
I think too many people were enamored with stats when we got Artest. He's never been an amazing scorer. He's been an amazing hustle player that got a lot of open looks from a very good system.
He never created for himself and "took over games". We've got two players on this roster capable of "taking over" on a consistant basis in terms of scoring and one of them sits the bench.
Why, o, why do we insist on playing to our biggest weaknesses?
Why doesn't the coach take a stand againt Artest? Sit him! If he takes dumb shots, sit him.
Some of these shots are so bad that they might as well be turnovers.
