I thought they were planning on doing this once a week. :plain

The fans got exactly what they wanted. Beautiful.

Well deserved. I dont care what started it, Im glad the NBA finished it.

You know what I mean. :plain

damn they just said that during the dolphins game. wow :o

 

so much for those suspensions that were mentioned earlier. pacers are done.

stephen jackson and o'neal probably should of recieved stiffer suspensions and ben wallace probably got 1-2 games too many.

 

 

other than that its all good.

 

 

 

just proves that you dont break the #1 rule in the NBA. dont go into the damn stands after fans, they only reinforce this every damn preseason.

Miami now has a big chance of ended up at the #1 seed.

Orlando has a good chance to be a top team in the East.

I wonder why Jermaine O'Neal's was so high? He didnt go into the stands....he jacked up a fan that was on the court. Why the crap was there a fan on the court? If you go onto a playing field, you are fair game for violence.

The Magic might have something to say about that.

These suspensions are absolutely absurd.

They should penalize the fans involved as well. If Detroit has any class, they will strip the fans involved of their tickets for the season, non-refundable, and prevent them from buying tickets. In addition they should be charged with misdemeanor (sp?) battery for their involvement in the riot.

awsome,indiana is screwed.

jermaine o'neal also came back out of the tunnel to go after fans and he coldcocked someone in the tunnel away from teh cameras.

 

 

maybe thats why.

i doubt the investigations are over from the legal standpoint.

 

 

 

i expect there to be charges filed against some players and fans in the next couple weeks.

That's harsh. Pacers most likely not make the playoffs.

In that span of 25 for O'neal and 30 for Jackson the Pacers will probably lose 20 or more games.

I didnt know this (proably because it was away from the cameras)

so the Pistons fans win.

 

makes it easier for the Pistons to win that division now too

Austin Croshere should've fought more people to get his teammates' respect.
