It was a bad move. Artest wasn't a good fit, was 6 years older and played like an idiot on the offensive end.

Artest was the biggest reason we weren't as dominant in 2010 as we were in 09.

Ariza 09 >>>>>> Artest 10

Ariza barely played in the 08 finals. He was coming off a foot injury.

Artest held Pierce to his averages. Big deal. You guys love to act like Artest shut him down. He didn't.
We won again...Mitch refused to be held hostage by Ariza's agent. You can't fault Mitch on that one.

From Sharman to Logo to Mitch and eventually Logo Jr...as long as Jimbo lets it be...we are in good hands. Still pissed about these Boogie reports though.

So you're saying if we had Ariza we win in 2011?? All that matters is the end result. We won with Ariza and won with Artest

Arrested is the reason you won. If he doesn't put back Kobes airball at the buzzer in the wcf you prolly lose that series to the suns

And his dagger 3 in game 7 of the finals to save bean again

We were a worse team with Artest.
All of that is not attributed to Artest. The team was trying to go through the West for a third year in a row, Kobe was not fully healthy in the playoffs, we faced better teams in the playoffs etc. It was a team trying to to repeat, and they did :manny: Ariza wasn't saving us from getting swept in 2011

i dont follow the nba like i used to, and even still once the season ends im on to other shyt in regards to following/handicapping. can a knowledgeable non kobestan fill me in on why the lakers would try to move clarkson/randle/2 pick for cousins, and how that could be a win for the lakers?

It wouldn't, which is why I don't think this has any shot of getting done.

We got excited because some reports didn't mention Randle or Clarkson as being part of the trade. Now was it always unlikely for that to actually happen? Of course. But we've, LWO, been feeling ourselves lately, so we ran with it.

LOL @ Artest being the reason we won.

Are you forgetting the ill advised shots Artest took in the final minutes of that very game vs the Suns?

Are you forgetting the costly turnover and dumb shots Artest took in the 4th in game 5 when it was a 1 possession game? Just stop.

Every 6 or so months I re-watch those series. Yes Artest had some big plays here and there but he played like garbage most of the time.

You guys only remember the good moments. I remember everything.
