Pistons vs Pacers
-
nah, that was ron artest, he was gonna walk off the court and 2 guys in pistons jerseys encountered him in front of the pacers bench and artest knocked the fucker out
-
Jermaine O'neal is a pimp...im going go buy his jersey
-
There is no excuse for players to go in the stands ever.... Come on, a cup hit him big deal. But if the fan comes on court, he deserves anything he got, just like when that big black guy was pounding that pacer (dont know his name) in the stands. Players go in the stands they deserve to be beat. Not good for the game at all.

NBA has just released the suspensions
Ron Artest(fuck hes on my fantasy team)-Done for year
Stephen Jackson(2nd guy up in the stands)-30 games
Jermaine O'neal(Sliding puncher)-25 games
Ben Wallace(fucker who pushed Artest in the first place)-6 games
Anthony Johnson(Injured Pacer, dunno what he did)-5 games
Chauncey Billups-1 game
Elden Cambpell-1 game
Derrick Coleman-1 game
Reggie Miller-1 gameI think the total was 143 games, all of course...without pay.

I think the suspensions are ludicrous. Suspending Artest for the remainder of the year is insane. I would say maybe 25 games is more appropriate. The Pacers went from legitimate title contenders to a joke. Losing their three best players for that long is gonna kill them. I wonder what's gonna happen with the law suits from fans. For losing his temper, Artest will probably lose over $10 million. Hope his new cd explodes to help the poor guy out :rolleyes:
-
I'll make sure to buy his CD, and his jersey. just to support Ron.
-
Ben Wallace should get a longer suspension, since he started everything. What did Reggie Miller do? The man is injured, 1 game suspension for Reggie is a joke.
-
he left the team bench premises or something. But if that happened the whole team shoulda gotten it. But yeah, ben wallace sucks now.
-
i think that the fans deserved it 100% If that fucking idot that threw the cup of ice at ron artest was walking down the street and saw a black guy doing somthing he didnt approve of would he just throw somthing at him?? FUCK NO!!!
because he would get his ass beat. but because the guy is playing basketball its ok?
i think no player should have got any punishment..... dont ever desrespect a man you cant whip<--(grandfather) told me that shit along time ago and its true to this day.. -
I kinda disagree here, while I don't condone throwing stuff at the players I certainly don't condone the athletes taking swipes at people in the stands. If thats the case the entire Minnesota Gophers hockey team should go up into the crowd @ Engelstad arena and beat the shit out of everyone for throwing dead gophers onto the ice at the Minnesota players.
There were video cameras on the guy throwing the beverage at the player....find that guy and fine him or whatever, but geez, don't jump into the crowd. And Jerry, if someone threw water/ice/beer on you on the street and you proceded to kick his ass that wouldn't mean that you aren't going to be subjected to fines/punishment.
just my 2 cents.
-
yea chuck you are right i might be subjected to fines or punishment etc.. but i bet you that the guy throwing somthing might think twice next time about throwing somthing at me. Its so funny to me, people around here or maybe its people not from big citys.. but the mentality of (well i can do whatever or say whatever i want to you and you cant do anything about it cuz ill call the cops??)
what in the hell.....it blows my mind -
I'm not saying I wouldn't have retaliated either, all I'm saying is that the video cameras showed the guy throwing the drink and they might have been able to fine him or whatever, now he probably won't be fined and like 98exaccord posted, will probably get a settlement. Here's the deal though, if Artest had just picked up the cup and threw it back at the fan nothing would have come of it likely, however by escalating it to fists the player committed the worse offense and will be fined how the league commissioner feels fit.
-
I guess in an act of self defense, artest is to blame. them chairs the guys were sitting on were fold ups, who knows if they would've started chucking them down to artest if he wouldn't of retaliated with the cup. they actually did throw a chair into the scuffle after he attacked them.
