All other interpretations of these events are really pissing me off. Aren't blogs supposed to have a sense of humor, and not be as knee-jerk as the dreaded MSM? If anyone needs me, I'll be at Buzz's house. [link]

Ron Artest... a Houston Rocket ? If the rumors are correct, that means we get a 20+ ppg player who is also a former DPOY to match up with Yao, Shane, Scola and Battier. All this because we sneakily drafted/acquired a rookie who put up 40 in a summer ...

Artest makes Houston and Instant Contender

wcbias posted 7/30/2008 from www.wcbias.com

The trade finally gives Houston a legitimate Big Three in Ron Artest, Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming, and, more importantly, gives the Rockets a much needed defensive presence and a killer mentality. Skip to My Lou helped give the Rockets a new swagger last season, but the Rockets have been known as an otherwise “soft” team in recent years because of Ming’s demeanor and McGrady’s one-dimensional ...

Ron Artest's peculiar comments

Construda posted 7/31/2008 from construda.blogspot.com

It took a hot minute for Yao Ming to make a snarky comment about son-to-be teammate Ron Artest. And it took the length of a cocaine heartbeat for Artest to respond in only a manner that Artest would respond. "If you go back to the brawl, that's a culture issue right there. Somebody was disrespecting me, so he's got to understand where I'm coming from. People that know me know that (I) never change

Is Artest the Answer for the Rockets?

Posted 7/31/2008 on HoopsAvenue

On paper, the Rockets look like championship contenders, but, then again, this is Tracy McGrady’s Rockets and not Hakeem Olajuwon’s.

Will Ron Artest Really Make Houston Legit?

In a word: perhaps. But I'm not totally convinced Ron Artest won't do more harm than good to any team he lands with. There are, however, a few reasons for Rockets fans to feel OK about this trade . 1.) Artest is unquestionably talented, especially on the defensive side of the ball. With him and Tracy McGrady on the wings and Yao Ming's presence around the rim we should be looking at one of ...
