SacBee: Ailene Voisin: Coach tries to keep team focused on the big picture

Reggie Theus had no choice. He has 11 other Kings to court. He can't fine John Salmons and Mikki Moore for public outbursts, then turn his cheek when Ron Artest pops him a good one.

Reggie had no choice? I hate that comment!

It certainly sounds as though Ron Artest is subject to a different set of rules, even from the coach. Miss practice with some phantom owie? No problem. He'll still play. Miss practice because of "reported stomach issues" and a headache? Again, no problemo.

This is crap, pure and simple crap.

We've seen Artest put himself back into games. We've seen Artest out of control and yelling at the coach during a game. We've seen reports of conflicts in the locker room and I think there's probably a really big ice berg under that particular little tip.

Sit him down or ship him out. I don't care but this is bull****.
