They made it out of the 1st round.....your point?

first round jokes are so lame - especially when defending a team who plays in the eastern conference.

Do you find humor in the lack of season-ending injuries?

Artest is a good pickup for this team. Assuming everyone comes back healthy, they're one formidable defensive team with Artest on the floor. Sure, they'd have it easier if they were in the East, then they'd only have to TRY for like 10% of the games. That's why Houston picked him up though, they play in the West, and they need help.

If you honestly believe you are getting the Artest of old for more than 60 games in a season, then I would like you to pass whatever you are smoking over here.

The Tmac/Yao/Artest "combo" is nothing compared to the Boston three. I don't even expect all three of them to play 60 games.

who said anything about the Artest of old? He averaged 20 ppg and 6 rpg last season with the Kings, and he wasn't even under his favorite coach of all time (Adelman). He's going to be a beast this year.

He's gonna fail carrying team while 2 other teammates are injured all year

not to mention he will be playing for a new contract. that's usually guarantees a good year barring a major injury.

there's no reason tmac or yao should be injured next year, they have a deep bench who can play a lot of minutes. also ray allen is worse than all 3 of houston's "three". and pp is not much better than artest, a lot worse than mcgrady.

Yao playing off the bench like Ginobili? ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE.

From boston fags that have 1 year to be grateful for over the past 20, and would hate someone to diss their team for a 1 year success?

Who the fuck cares what boston fags have to say anyways.

Just say 18*-1 and be done with them. They all bawwwwwwwwwwwwwww themselves to sleep after that.

Unfortunately Ray Allen's performance in this years playoffs, mainly the finals, proves otherwise

You meant to say "only in the finals". Admit it, Allen had been non-existant the entire run of the playoffs until the finals.

A friend of mine, who is from Kentucky and therefore thinks he has a 200 Basketball IQ inherent in his DNA, was telling me how this is a great pick-up, and how Artest hasn't had a single ejection since his 'incident,' and arguments about his temper are SO old...

To which I respond, "YOU live in Houston. *I* used to live in Houston. That city is NOT made for people with short tempers."

Of course, if a player went into the stands in Texas, motherfucker gets shot. Discuss.
