Rockets' forward Ron Artest discussed the team's progress this season recently and feels as though they are in grade school.
"We're in elementary school right now," Artest said. "How do you go from elementary school to PhD beyond midseason? I don't know, but we're going to try and do it. We're going to try and make it happen."
After making the statement, Artest stopped to think about what he said.
"Did you like that analogy?" Artest said. "I don't know where that came from. I've been around Shane (Battier) too much."

Ron Artest has told CBS.com that he may sit out until after the All-Star break, but according to the Houston Chronicle, the Rocket forward's agent has said that he may not be out at all.
“He’s just sore,” David Bauman, Artest’s agent, said. “I don’t know how much or if any time at all will be missed. I can tell you based on everyone I talked to today, he’s sore, he’s doing his treatment today, he’s taking it one day at a time, and there hasn’t been any conversation about shutting it down.
“Ron is very frustrated about not being able to penetrate and do the things he can do. To my knowledge, (the ankle) was not as sore or as badly swollen as it was. I think he was venting .”
