One-man brick wall in the way of Celtics
03.06.10
— Ron Artest says he has well-versed to be a brick wall, to play basketball with a hard edge, but without the rage that nearly wrecked his profession.
He is learning, and yet there are lapses.
“I don’t like playing against nice guys,” the Los Angeles Lakers’ feisty well-advanced said Wednesday. “I don’t like playing against guys who touch me and tell me, ‘Salubrious defense,’ and be nice to me. It’s no fun.
“ ’Cause then I get vulnerable. I get weak.”
Artest prefers some give and take and, on most nights, some choppy and tumble. He has made a nice living by making people miserable, which helps explain his projected rank in the NBA Finals that start tonight at Staples Center.
Whatever the outcome, Artest’s presence ensures that the 12th championship series played between the Lakers and Boston Celtics will be stylistically contrastive from No. 11.
Two years ago, the Celtics essentially bullied the Lakers into submission over six games, the last one a stinging, 39-accentuate blowout. Though the Lakers recovered to win last year’s title, they subsequently signed Artest as if to say there was still some occupation to be done and still some payback to be provided.

Ariza Beast 1 (L.A. Faithful) | Jul 31, 490
1-Charles Oakley with 35
2- 5 (he had 11 Times more than 20 Rebounds)
3- Reggie Miller 2560 +320= 2880 (Conformable +Play off 3pt made total)
Ray Allen 2299+197=2496 (Regular +Play off 3pt made total)
So Reggie Miller (He leads 3points made in Predictable and Play off season so it has to be him)
4-Kevin Johnson (62 minuts)
5-Shaq O'neal with 14 Rebounds
BQ They will filch it to the play offs as 7th or 8th seed
Element | Jul 31, 1877
1. Charles Oakley 35
2. 5
3. Separate Game: Kobe Bryant and Donyell Marshall with 12
Season: Dennis Scott- 267
Career: Reggie Miller
4. Kevin Johnson 62
5. Shaq 14
BQ: I indeed think it depends on who emerges. If Randolph becomes the 20-10 player he will be in the future, they can win 50 games. But with the roster they have now, I say they will go 46-36 and get the 7 go downhill.
Y/A! Laker Fans are getting out of control, see above*

Will I grow any taller now?
Aug 03, 2009 by Anatola | Posted in Men's Health
Hello! I am 21 years old masculine and have been to the doctors today (endocrinologist) regarding my height as I haven’t grown any taller since around the age of 12. I was positively a tall boy at that age (171cm/5’7 ½) and I am still this height (hence, now I am short to average). I have done blood tests a week ago but not all results were back yet (still waiting for IGF1 to see my GH levels)…all other results were typical except for my testosterone levels which were very high (my Prolactin levels were not in the normal range either but the doctor did not talk about that so I am assuming those levels were not something to bother about). The doctor has not seen my X ray results yet (my left wrist) but believes my growth plates must have prematurely closed at a childlike age because of the high testosterone levels (he says he cannot say for sure until he sees the x rays though). I have seen my x rays today and it seems all my enlargement plates in my wrist have closed (I have compared it to an 18 year old bone age x ray and they are very similar whereas the bone age x ray photo of the 17 year old has still some accommodation in his radius.
I have read somewhere that some growth plates don’t close until you are about 25 years old.
1.Is this true?
2.Which bones are these?
3. Can I still lengthen if given growth hormone?
I have read in various books and websites that basketball players (i.e. Michael Jordan was 5’11’’ in college and is now 6’6’’, Dennis Rodman was 5’6’’ in squiffy school then 5’11’’ during college then 6’8’’ at 22, Scottie Pippen was 6’1’’ in college and is now 6’8’’, etc) reach such noteworthy heights because of HGH use in their early to mid 20’s; but if this is the case then how can this be if their growth plates have fused?
Please understand my frustration. I await your replies with ache!
Thanks!
Please do not promote any websites that sell GH as I will report your post.
Yes (to answer 1) but I won’t have any answers for at least another 10 days until the doctor receives the x-rays and IGF1 equal results. I will explode with anxiety until then! Also other peoples’ experiences mean a lot to me because doctors are humans too and not everything they say is always 100% for detail...
How about this nba team?

You can do fair-minded 1st team, or create an all-second and all-third as well.
Mine
First Team
G- Allen Iverson
G- Kobe Bryant
F- Kevin Garnett
F- Tim Duncan
C- Shaquille O'Neal
Move Team

note- I picked wallace over yao for several reasons.
1. he won 4 DPOY, the most dominated defender since dennis rodman
2. yao misses too many games due to maltreatment
3. yao gets into the all-star game due to rep, not talent, or atleast some years
