Hell Jamison is more of an option then artest. And again he isn't high paid. I mean that's like the spurs blaming Gary Neal or Matt bonner for losing the wcf last year. Ridiculous

Why is he the 4th option? He averaged 24 pts a game in Indy, 20 pts a game at Sacramento, and 17 pts a game at Houston. So why is he now all of a sudden offensively challenged?

So Tracy McGrady averaged crazy numbers in Orlando, Toronto and Houston where is he now. And he's younger then artest. Your math is silly. Tim Duncan used to average 22 and 12 and 3 blocks.

I really really like the way they put the Warriors roster together this year. Getting Jarrett Jack and Carl Landry to come off the bench was genius. Man if they could ever get Bogut healthy, they honestly have a chance to fight for at least a 4 seed in the West.

Why did you stop there?

Oh yeah, because he averaged 11, 8.7, 7.5ppg with the Lakers the last 3 years.
He hasn't shot over 40% for a season since 3 years ago.

This year he is taking about 3 more shots per game, at a whopping 42% from the field.

Artest hasn't been a real scoring threat since Bush was in the Whitehouse.

Perhaps. Their next 3 games are on the road where they are 2-7 this year and they are still short 2 starters.

I warned people that they had a tough december after having a fairly soft starting schedule. To this day, they've still played 3 more home games than road and by the end of the month they might be 3-4 games behind 8th place.

Maybe it's because he was being used less as a offensive option once he landed in LA?

That's true, but there is no getting around a guy that hasn't shot 40% the past 2 years.

Let me reiterate that he's often taking more shots a night than anybody other than Kobe.

If your 40% shooter is taking your 2nd most shots....that's messed up.

I just remember him being a offensive threat as a Pacer back in the day and was wondering why he fell off so much.
