Forgive this writer if this comes across a little bitter, but this is one Atlantan who has had enough.
First, let’s look at the facts.
Fact: Reggie Miller is a very good shooter.
Fact: Ron Artest is an extremely talented player, who is only getting better in the league.
Fact: The efforts of the two of them were the reason that the Pacers beat the Hawks on MLK day, 100-97.
Here is another fact that nobody read about in their recaps of the pretty impressive matchup between one of the best and one of the worst in the league:
Neither Miller nor Artest have a lot of class between them.

No class is an understatement.
Reggie is the king of cry babies. Without a doubt one of the greatest shooters in the game, but he was considered a star player only because of his big mouth. It amazes me that he's not treated more physically.
Artest is a really good player but mentally he's a joke. He probably forgot that fans don't make millions of dollars to buy $45 bball tix and sit in sucky seats and drink $8 beer.
But the funny part is that guys like Miller and Artest will keep you from winning a championship. 'Mr. Clutch' is staring at a career with not a lot of real important games, and is desperately trying to hang on for another chance at taking a real clutch shot. Hitting open 3s against one of the worst teams in the league to barely get the win is not really all that clutch.
