http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-lakers-fyi26-2010feb26,0,4600098.story Ron's been a true team player ever since coming to LA. I love that he realized his extra weight was hurting him and is now looking to slim down to improve his game. He has played spot on defense lately, but his inconsistent offense has been frustrating.
Artest is 266 and obviously has a problem moving as fast as he would like... but then Lefreak weighs around the same (or is even heavier than Bosh and/or amare!) and moves faster than even kobe... freak of f*ckin nature
Yeah LeBron is impossible to contain once he gets going. You guys see that play last night when he ran over Kendrick Perkins for AND 1?
I think Orlando has the best formula for beating the Cavs. They allow LeBron to score a lot, but they shutdown the other 4 guys. LeBron wears down eventually and Orlando has the fire power to outscore the Cavs.
He was essential and Shaq has bothered Dwight Howard this year. So has Aaron Gray because of his shear mass. Vince Carter can make plays off the dribble same as Turkoglu. The key guy for Orlando will be Rashard Lewis though. If he's stroking it then the Cavs are going to likely lose. I heard Artest shed 10lbs by using the elliptical machine after practice.
Wade had to work hard for those shots, but he did figure out Artest late in the game and also using the high pick from Arroyo gave Wade the space he needed to put Ron on his hip.
