imo artest is not the problem. artest played well defensively on lebron. jamario moon and mo williams killed the lakers today,.
the problem is that the lakers have no depth. their bench gives no contribution what so ever. the cavs were outscoring the lakers WITH lebron on the bench.
odom, farmar, vujacic, and brown need to step up if they want to win another championship.
plus you got to give credit to mike brown. putting shaq and ilgauskas on the floor to combat the size of gasol and bynum was very smart.
