Quote from: Citizen-Y on March 26, 2014, 05:33:35 AMFirst off, a huge el oh el at the Rockets being built around Artest. He was an addition to a roster of really good players that was obviously built around McGrady and Yao. When McGrady went down naturally Artest was asked to score more. Von Wafer also picked up the slack. Artest was brought in for his defense and history with Adelman, not because he was to be showcased as a star.The Pacers teams he was second fiddle to Jermaine and deferred to a still effective Reggie Miller. His offense was dreadful then. Then the Malace at the Palace happened and the rest of his time in Indiana was less then memorable. He tried to take off a year to promote a fucking R&B group. Then he went to Sacramento and tried the bruise brother role with Bonzi, their best year they took the Spurs to 7 and that was it. Dude's defense was always stellar and with that reputation he got away with a lot of mugging. His offense that was close to the rim can be summed up with "NO DON'T TAKE THAT SHOT OH MY GOD IT WENT IN HOW?"t-mac went down, yao went down, artest was the guy that year and they went into the playoffs with the team built around him......don't rewrite history just so u can make Dwight look better lol smh typical citizen-y shiet

He was healthy all year. Do you not remember what happened during your own times playoff match ups? T-Mac was injured, they still had a competent Shane Battier, Aaron Brooks, Kyle Lowry.

u coulda had tyson chandler as the center and u woulda gotten the same results.
You were just trying to tell me how the 08-09 Rockets were constructed and how Artest was the focal point of their offense. Keep burning that reefer to live in that fantasy land you fucking live in.
