The Western Conference just got harder. Your boy Ron Artest is now a Houston Rocket. Artest who has a good history with the head coach of the Rockets Rick Adelman. Artest had this to say about Adelman.I haven’t spoken to anybody yet,” Artest said. “But if that’s true [about a Houston trade], I don’t even know what to say. I could be amazing. I don’t even know the potential.

“I just think so highly of Mr. Adelman that I can’t really speak on it. When I first got to Sacramento [in 2006], he believed in me. I said, ‘Coach, we’re going to the playoffs,’ and everybody laughed at me. He said, ‘Ron, we’re going to go as far as you take us.’ I’ve never had a coach do that before.

“How can you say no to Rick Adelman? How can anyone not be happy playing for Rick Adelman?” The Rockets who have been labeled by NBA fans and your’s truly as soft. Now with Artest have a real presence in the paint and now will be a force to be messed with.
