First he's one of only 2 players that has brought it every night this year..... he is what he is on the court but at least he's there every night and ready to play.

Second..... he is what he is... he's unstable from time to time.... he's a streak shooter.... he's not a good ball handler and he's not a good initiator. He's still an adequate defender and a decent shooter from time to time.

Ron has given more this season than I expected by far.... he's rolled back his production 3 years... a lot more than we can say about some of our other aging "Stars"....... that's for sure.

Bringing it every night doesn't mean anything

I don't mind crazy Ron one bit, that's when he's at his best. When him and Kobe were jawing at each other during the Pistons game, I didn't hesitate one bit to think that we need more of that. Everyone keeps everyone in check.

What does that even mean? You can "bring it" every night but if you suck you suck, I could care less what "it" is at that point.

Darius Morris is on the court ready to play and so is Robert Sacre. But you don't see them on the court for good reason, they aren't contributing players.

Next time read the full sentence....

In what world should MWP be attempting the second most shots on the team this season?

the fact that its "always an unfortunate" move from Artest is telling me and you something. You get the benefit of the doubt once or twice but when it happens on a regular basis then probably you are the problem.

Artest is being punished because he doesn't behave and gets involved into unnecessary scuffles all the time. He has been suspended many times before for fights.

Artest is 250lbs and he's a physical player. Besides Lebron, Melo and a few others, most NBA players don't have the kind of body he has. So they're constantly retaliating against him on the court. Sometimes it is Metta's fault (Harden), but it's often retaliation plays from the opposing player.
