Most likely the fans would not have started throwing chairs, I of course cannot prove this anymore than you can prove they would have if all that happened was the cup got thrown back. You can't charge anyone with something they MIGHT do, all you can do is fine people for what they actually have done. Again, I'm not condoning a fan throwing shit at players, but I certainly don't think a player has a right to go into the stands after someone who threw water/beer/etc....at them. Fighting sure as hell isn't going to resolve the issue, will only make it worse for all involved.

Now, if a chair had been thrown @ a player prior to the fight, then maybe the player has a right to jump into the crowd and go after that guy. Its still not gonna solve anything though....thats why the NBA hires security, to keep fans from rushing the floor and/or attacking the players, let security handle them and all will be fine.

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.

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

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.

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..

But if that happened the whole team shoulda gotten it. But yeah, ben wallace sucks now.

What did Reggie Miller do? The man is injured, 1 game suspension for Reggie is a joke.

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:

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 game

I think the total was 143 games, all of course...without pay.

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.
