NBA comes down on players

[Mut]

i think the punishment was a bit more than what the players deserved. yes, they should've restrained themselves but still, the fans got what they deserved. all those pussies would've ran if it was just a nba player against them, one on one. those fans are fucking pathetic. it's disgusting.

jermaine o'neal should get the 'best punch' award. he flew in across and did a slider punch on that dumbass fan.

imagine what would've happened if artest was hit in the fast with a brick instead of a cup or whatever it was. nice of nba and its fans to show respect they have for the players. wow, i'm so mad.

EDIT: response to below:

i don't know what the hell you are talking about. what's so intimidating about laying down the commentator's table and keeping himself out of the fight? of course, it's not the best place to be laying around but it's not provoking anyone or anything. i'd say it's 70% of the blame should go on the moronic fans who thought they could slip in a act of stupidity and get away with it. the fact that the players are getting punished so much for it shows that the nba doesn't give too much shit about them. granted, the fans are paying to see a nba game but that doesn't give them the right to fuck with the players NOR should paying to see a game grant the audience safety after they were the ones to initiate the fight. the justice system is so fucked up that people can hurl objects at people who isn't doing anything and that are completely vulnerable and still probably manage to get away with it because the player's reactions. but the fans don't give a shit, i bet a dozen of them will be millions richer soon.

if i were artest, i would've done the same thing but would've kicked the shit out of more fans. it'd be worth the bullshit season suspension. i hope artest isn't apologetic for it. go nba players.

Yeah but these athletes were punching randomly hitting anyone they thought was suspect, imagine if you were minding your own and a 6'8" hulking NBA player is smashing your head in with his fists.
Believe me the punishment from the NBA will be nothing compared to when they get taken to criminal court and all the lawsuites that come with it. They can even be found guilty of criminal assualt and spend some time behind the bars pushing turd.

Artest did not need to go into the stands like an outlaw, security should have taken care off it but regardless of that Artest has no control over his anger, he has a record of this shit.
Good riddance to bad rubbish!

So you would end your career because of having beer thrown at you?

i agree that artest should've restrained himself but the fans were dumb to cause such incident after there had already been a scuffle between the players. emotions are running high and everyone is on their toes. the shitty job by the security is also a part of this. if artest had done nothing, obvious it wouldn't have escalated into such madness but the fan who did it would've gotten away with it and that's bullshit. it's just a lose-lose situation.

but anyway, the two guys wearing pistons jerseys that ran down on the court got what they deserved. those idiots.

i don't know if artest's career is over. he's just suspended for the season. obviously his previous behavior had a lot to do with the level of suspension he received. when i said i'd do the same thing, i meant that if i was an nba player, without artest's bad record, and got shit thrown at me, i would've whooped that fan's ass too.

I agree with this.

Well, looks like Artest will be getting that 'time off' he wanted.
Lets not forget, he doesn't know what the word "integrity" means. Hope he asked his dad about that.

About laying on the scoretable -- that was wrong. He shouldn't have done it. What transpired after that is a whole different story. I'm not saying he shoulda been fined for just that, but he's putting himself first (like he always has) instead of the game. His little "I wanna win the championship/MVP" speech is bullshit. Anybody thats seen Ron Artest pre-album knows that he's pretty much a selfish peice of shit.
I like to see Ron get an invitation to a party at Jayson Williams' house, quite frankly.

Oh, and also, a fight broke out at the South Carolina-Clemson football game as well. Not as bad as the NBA brawl, but bad enough. And the vibe awards stabbing as well.
Now, if youll excuse me, I'm continuing my protest against the MNF skit with Terrell Owens and Nicollete Sheridan. I dont want T.O. to act anymore!
