 Yao, Artest Are Gonna Be Friends
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]

... 10th: The Sporting Blog. Shoals: "If you're going to put Artest and Yao on one team, you might as well let them play off each other in the media. They feed off of it in the same way T-Mac sometimes shirks it, and it's a large part of what makes them larger-than-life figures."

Welcome, Crazy Pills!

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

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 ...

Yao Ming Frightened By the Artest Trade

Tracy McGrady seemed completely ebullient when discussing Houston's trade for Ron Artest on Tuesday night.

We are adding talent to the team and we need that, but building team chemistry is important. This is ...

Ron Artest's peculiar comments

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

Yao: 'Getting Artest will help us'
There do not, however, seem to be any roadblocks to the Houston Rockets completing the deal once Donté Green, the prospect whom the Sacramento Kings sought for Artest, is eligible to be traded Aug. 14.

Ron Artest and Yao Ming Are Already Feuding [NBA]
Yao expressed some concern about whether or not Artest would still be fighting and going into the stands. Which isn't that big of a surprise considering that the Chinese calendar says it's still 2004. But Ron Artest wasn't pleased by the comments. So he did what Ron Artest always does, gave the Houston Chronicle a cogent explanation of his position . That, or said that Yao hadn't really ...

The Houston Rockets must be sooooooo thrilled they traded for Ron Artest. Today’s episode starts with Yao Ming reacting to the trade thusly: “Hopefully, he’s not fighting anymore and going after a guy in the stands” Ok. Not exactly the best opening line.

Is Artest the Answer for the Rockets?
On paper, the Rockets look like championship contenders, but, then again, this is Tracy McGrady’s Rockets and not Hakeem Olajuwon’s. With the addition of Ron Artest yesterday, the Rockets undoubtedly have one of the best trios in the league. Artest-McGrady- Yao , when healthy , probably only falls behind the Celtics trio of Allen - Garnett - Pierce . The Wizards , Lakers , and ...

The tribunal of the badasses
So apparently Yao and Luis Scola are text messaging buddies . Which has to be interesting considering that neither of their native languages is English.

Yao : "For some reason, I like (Artest) ... ...
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 ...
