EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) -If Ron Artest criticized Lakers coach Phil Jackson on Twitter, he isn’t exactly owning up to his tweets.
Five disjointed, grammatically challenged messages appeared on Artest’s latest Twitter page late Thursday night, expressing frustration that Jackson had spoken to the media about Artest’s play before talking to the veteran forward personally.
But Artest wouldn’t say whether he had written the tweets when asked Friday before the Lakers departed for Utah, where they’ll play Game 3 of their second-round playoff series with the Jazz on Saturday.
Artest has been in a profound 3-point shooting slump in the postseason, making just 7 of 42 shots. Jackson has praised Artest’s defense, but suggested he should cut down on 3-pointers.
