Ron Artest is eager to return to the floor after serving a one-game suspension in Game 2, but when asked if he could stop Manu Ginobili, he replied, "I'm not sure. He played great (in Game 2). He was real aggressive. He really played like a champ."

Artest feels that he needs to do a better job guarding the perimeter.

"The big guys playing (Tim) Duncan were doing their job for most of (Game 2)," Artest said." Now, we've got to get the perimeters doing their job, me and Bonzi (Wells) hustling a little bit more, which we are going to do in Game3. And I've got to rebound better. I only had two rebounds in Game1. Kevin Martin came in and had eight rebounds. That just proves to me I've got to get in there and rebound."
