You know what? Ron Ron was laying down to be a good guy. THE IRONY!!!

NBA has a huge image problem and this will just make it worse.

I was watching the PHX game and thinking about making a thread about how the NBA is back. I mean Amare, Wade and LeBron are blossoming into mega-stars. Now this, :o

but that foul looked pretty routine.

 

Youre right. It wasnt even remotley hard. Looked like he was just trying to stop an easy dunk and had incedental contact. Even after being shoved, Artest didnt go balistic so he seemed to know to be careful. Hard to ask him not to get pissed when someone throws a beer on him.

The NBA is far from back. The NBA is awful.

 

and this doesn't help.

 

This is like something that happens at a third world soccer game.

This whole incident is the most deplorable thing I've ever seen at a sporting event.

 

Just deplorable.

That's what I thought at first.

But look at Reggie Miller pat him and like good job Ron Ron, get your crazy ass out of this mess.

I agreed with you 5 minutes ago, but then I just looked at Ron Ron.

But if you ever watch the NBA, teams dont play defense (most dont even play offense) with a 15 point game and under 50 seconds.

A few years back at a Magic game, Bobby Jackson and Tmac got into it and as Jackson was being escorted out, some fan poured a beer on him and Jackson made a rush to try and get to the guy but was stopped. Fans throwing beers on players..goodness.

There were fans on the court too, right? Did anyone go after them?

Yeah they got their ass beat

Eh maybe. But sometimes guy will play D. I think it had more to do with Wallace being frustrated with their recent losses and losing to the Pacers and just taking it out on Artest.

Sure, but I just don't think that's relevant. You don't get pissed because someone tries to play defense. Defense is part of basketball. Padding your stats at the end of the game isn't. Or at least it shouldn't be.

I don't think he did. I mean he basically just put his arm out.

Artest's foul was unnecessary. He probably would have got T'ed up originally. He extended his arms.

Admin Brown is "embarrased for our young people."

i think artest went after the wrong fan

The showed a replay on ESPN again. I noticed a little girl behind the fight with Ron Artest and the fan, and she was looking at her dad like "what the f*ck is going on?"

 

I also noticed a chair was thrown at one of the Pacer players.

jim gray sounds like he's on the verge of tears while doing this report during halftime of the kings game.

Whoever walks on the court deserved to get beat down like the morons they are

i think artest went after the wrong fan

yeah i think he did but the fan looked like he was enjoying it so its no big deal to me.
