you should try out for Fox News you would be great hit over there. You definitely fit in their fair and balanced slogan. Just admit it you have Artest's in your mouth and be thankful it was only 7 games when it could have been more. Deadly Re you didn't disappoint with your poor trolling in this thread.
I'm sorry but I've never heard of you.
If the guy is such a psycho that he can't be approached, or lightly touched, without throwing an elbow to someone's head, then he really shouldn't be on the court. End of discussion. We generally ins utionalize people like that. We don't tell the normal people to be careful about accidentally touching someone, because they might get attacked. Well... unless your state is bankrupt. Then they just have to let the crazies run the streets.
You sound more than a little bit unstable yourself, DeeDee. Sounds like something a serial killer says. "I don't want to hurt them... they make me do it." Come to think of it, that's exactly the defense you're trying to create for MWP.
Listen, DeeDee - if your state is bankrupt, and you can't afford your meds, speak up. We'll take up a collection or something.
Oh, so no videos or angles to prove your point? That's cool.
He's got a track record of doing weird . Also, does someone who says this (true or not) seem like a mentally stable individual to you?
After hearing a handful of NBA "experts" say they were expecting 10 games or more I was expecting 10 games or more. But 7 sounds good to me, at least it wasnt just a game or 2. The only problem I have with it is that World Piece of Crap can possibly come back for a pivotal Game 7....
Not an excuse. If you honestly believe that he has no control over himself then he has no business running free in public, let alone on a basketball court.
I have no doubt he is unstable.
But the ape part where he gets violent, I dont know when that happens. Except after it happens.
I also dont know from the replay if Harden is trying to antagonize him, getting and advantage for the inbounds, or possibly both.
I dont know. Thats why I ask the expert.
You.
Leave it to you to compare a guy's flat rubber rubber sole pushing off on a guy's face to a sharp elbow thrown with full force at the back of somebody's head.
Does he get to keep his NBA Citizen of the Year Award?
I guess I can google it but does anyone know off the top of their head what Karl's punishment was after putting Dave to sleep?
Watching the replay a couple of days after it happened, I can objectively say that 7 games is not enough for what he did. Many players celebrate without taking the head off another player with an elbow. He was NOT beating his chest, he was drawing back to hit someone. It is obvious that he was intending to do that. Beating his chest would have put his elbow down about a foot below the head level. Trying beating you chest with you elbow above your head. No I dont agree with anyone who says it was unintentional. He did with intent and nothing you can say will change it. He drew back and raised his elbow up to hit the head of a player. As for Hardin moving into him, from watching I see Kobe in front of Hardin as the play ends. He moves to the right, Hardin moves left to get inbounds pass. The Idiot runs into Hardin and throws elbow. Case closed.
For the record, Bynum only getting 4 games for the Barea hit is waaaaaaay more ridiculous than Ron only getting 7.
1 game and 5k fine.

Malone was fined $5,000 and suspended for one game, but was later forgiven by the concussed Admiral.
^^^weak
Fox News had a "10 worst NBA hits of all time". Horry's hip check on Nash was there, and Raja Bell's horse collar of Kobe was there. It even had Jason Smith's hip check of Blake Griffin, but no Karl Malone on the entire list.
Off the top of my head, too.
Jan 30, 2003. Ron was in full loon mode in a game against Miami. He had already been called for a flagrant against Caron Butler. He (Artest) got fouled as he was making a basket, and instead of going to the line he went to the Miami bench, flexing his arm. In the process, he brushed against Pat Riley. Riley, already sick of his , yelled at him and pushed him away. Note: Artest brushed into Riley, which is the same thing Harden did to Artest. Riley didn't elbow Artest in the head. If he had, he probably would have been suspended as a coach, for at least the rest of the season. That sort of thing is just not done.
The problem is, Lakerfans don't want the rules to be applied equally.
BTW - Wilbon mentioned that Artest broke two of Michael Jordan's ribs the first time they played each other. And Crazy Ron wasn't even particularly angry that day.
Ron Ron crazy>>>>>Rodman crazy.
Rodman did it for attention. Artest is legit take pills crazy.
What a disgrace. I haven't watched that in a while.
ing disgrace.
"I've never taken medication (to control moods) in my life. Doctors have suggested it and I say, 'OK, give it to me.' But I throw it in the garbage immediately," - Ron Artest
And I like Ron as a person. I root for him to get his together. But just 7 games, for a guy with his history, leaves me speechless. I really thought the league would err on the side of over-suspending him in order to squash su ions that they would favor a Laker. Seven games for Artest is nothing short of an under-suspension, which makes me wonder if the NBA even gives a about perception at all.
There it is.
I guess Rip Hamilton provoked Ron, too. Looks like everyone needs to just let Ron alone on the court, or he might hit you in the head. Not a bad strategy.
What really kills me is the Lakerfans who say that an elbow to the head is no big deal. But when someone barely touches Artest, THAT is provocation.
