Artest predicts a playoff berth
As long as Ron Artest is in Sacramento, the Kings will be in the playoffs this season.
Quote:
That much, the small forward made clear in an exclusive interview Sunday, is a certainty.
Everything else? It's not up to him. His 4-year-old daughter's fight with cancer is the worst uncertainty of all, as he will continue to deal with the situation on a day-by-day basis. The mystery of his NBA future in this city looms, too, an issue that begins with the question of whether Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie will trade him before the February deadline.
Controlling only what he can, Artest said he's determined to make the most of whatever time he has left in town.
"I know we're going to be playing (in the playoffs) in April," said Artest, who made a playoff prediction shortly after being traded to Sacramento from Indiana two seasons ago that held true. "I know we're going to be playing in April. I've been playing too long to be not making the playoffs. Especially two years in a row. I've been playing too long. I've got to get in the playoffs."
