Will Artest play Friday? It may be up to Peja

[Padrino]

Well people lets also remember that Ron hasn't played in over a month, and Pierce is on FIRE as of late. Should be interesting. If Peja doesn't show, I would fully expect the Pacers to waive the clause if they can.

he hasnt played for nearly two months, and that's almost beside the point. his offense will be shaky to start, but if his conditioning has been even remotely effective in his prolonged absence from the court (and i have no idea what a ron artest conditioning session might look like), then his defense should be just fine. he's gonna wanna put on a show in his return to the court, and as a member of the kings he knows he will most effectively be able to do that at the defensive end.

If you were Peja would you be looking to do the Kings a favor right now?

Not me.

That wouldn't even cross Pedja's mind. He has more things to worry about that how does he get back at Kings (even though I doubt he would even think it).

Pedja has a lot of things to take care of before he can report to Indiana.

What is the latest news on Artest's availability for tonight?

I'll take your word over these other comments. No one wants to face Ron. I can't wait for the Kobe/Artest matchups.

neither can i!!!!! it's going to be AWESOME!

If Peja doesn't report to the Pacers on time and Ron doesn't get to play tonight Im gonna puke.

They drove us crazy and confused Tuesday and uncertain Wedsnday....It's now Friday and were all anxious to see Ron on the Court

If See Ron not in Uniform I'm gonna go stir crazy.....

Its a version of the old Charles Atlas tecnique (for those of you who don't know, Charles would exersise by just flexing his muscles against themselves (ie push down with one against another pushing up))

Ron Artest just sits in a rubber room in a straight jacket, listening to the Greece II soundtrack, and quivers. But man, his quivers are intense!
