Owner Real Deal Posted August 21, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Ron is notorious for jacking up shots when he's running an offense or playing as the primary scoring option. Houston, Sacramento. I'm sorry, but that's not going to happen here. Fisher brings the ball up, and it goes into Kobe's hands. Ron will play Ariza's role, and he'll land wide-open jumpers all game long...and like Ariza, he'll hit them and will be a pivotal piece in our 2009-10 championship run.

alcstarheel Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 You get on Kobe's bad side when you don't play team D, when you don't work hard, and when you don't play to win. I think Ron will stay on the good side no problem. He knows this guy wants to win another 'ship, plain and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen Ron catch a ball and shoot. He's never been a catch and shoot type of player. Before he launches a shot, he always dribbles first. That's his comfort zone. Ariza was a player who can catch the ball and shoot without dribbling. He was perfect because if you dribble more you will let the defenders gain space to contest shots. Or at least show me a clip where Ron shoots without dribbling after receiving the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ariza never was a catch and shoot player until he put on a Lakers jersey. Didn't you see him play in Orlando and New York? All he did was catch a pass, dribble and drive hard and try to jump over everyone, a la James White. And I saw Artest catch and shoot plenty of times out of doubles against Jermaine O'Neal. But here's something. You'll see two in a row at around 30 seconds. One more at 1:05 in the video, and then three others at 2:45 in. And all of those were when he was a Rocket. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMhP9dHD5dk You guys will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just give it up, Laker fans would think Zach Randolph would help the team and wont jack up shots and would play lock down D. They'll find out at some point they are wrong.

Lafan9 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 If Ron wears those 1980's shorts he'll get on everey Lakers bad side , but anyways I think Ron knows that the Lakers need him more on the defensive side of the ball, and I'm sure Phil will let it be known that he'll be a 4th option on offense after Kobe,Pau,and Odom.

Guest VicNabb Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 He doesnt want to be on Kobe's bad side because then he will only touch the ball 4-5 times per game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreusito Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 So if he was going to jack up shots he'd say 'I want to be on Kobe's bad side'?Not saying he will be jacking up shots, just that it doesn't make much sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will constantly be in denial and believe it even if we went 82-0. They will just have to wait til the end of the season watching the Lakers doused in champagne holding up the trophy again.

andreusito Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Exactly. I was just trying to say that that quote isn't a point for what you're trying to talk about here. I am a Ron Artest fan, and I could care less if he jacks up shots or not because he's a good player and plays really good defense so with the great team the Lakers have, unless they pull a '4thQ' acts of last year where they were like playing pickup with lil children (except Kobe) the factor of winning it all isn't going to be 2 or 3 made or missed shots by Artest, at least not until WCF.And also, in a triangle offense IMHO Artest is less likely to do catch and shoot on fastbreaks or at the begining of plays.
