Why Artest will get multiple games

[LnGrrrR]

He's a repeat offender. I mean, when you are a main offender in something referred to as a "brawl", you're not really known as Mr. World Peace. (Unless you change your name to it of course.)

Anyone want an ELE bet that he'll get double digit games suspended?

Maybe just maybe if Boston had some hard nosed players like Ron Ron you guys wouldn't have only 1 title with the "Big 3" fucking pussies

[namlook]

There's no way to know what the league will do in terms of number of games. Sometimes they get it right and sometimes their decisions make no sense.

[baseline bum]

I think he gets 5 games.

How many games did Raja Bell get for trying to take off Kobe's head? I'm guessing Ron gets 3 - tops.

[Venti Quattro]

I think he gets 5 games.

Based on reputation.

[Robz4000]

I think he gets 5 games.
This. If Bynum only got 5, with his being much more obviously intentional, MWP won't get more. Only reason it'll go that high is that he's a repeat offender.

[manufan10]

I think he gets 5 games.

That's around what I was thinking too.

[Koolaid_Man]

It's a pussy league...they'll gp after Ron after those punks in the media cried like bitches over the hit....But the real question is why wasn't Harding trying to get back on offense..instead he was trying to run up under Ron and bump him....The media needs to highlight this...

Raja Bell was a coward he eased up on the clothesline half way through it..If he had any real balls he would tried to make Kobe really feel it...it was a pussy clothesline....in my opinion

[DeadlyDynasty]

He'll get multiple games because he elbowed a guy in the side of the head at full speed.

[manufan10]

Based on reputation.

Pretty much. Without reputation it would be two games at the most, imo.

[NRHector]

Based on reputation.

that and if the union gets involded trying to appeal Fisher might have to say something since he's part of the union

[LkrFan]

Damn, maybe 10 is reasonable since Artest's hit was worse and was just as obvious. I forgot Bynum got that much.

[Venti Quattro]

Should be 2-3 games, 5 games tops. Stu Jackson should just eliminate the Lakers too if he's gonna suspend him 10 games.

[Robz4000]

Damn, maybe 10 is reasonable since Artest's hit was worse and was just as obvious. I forgot Bynum got that much.
Nah, I think 5 is max, like you said. Bynum's was given out after the Lakers were bounced from the playoffs, so the league had little to lose revenue-wise. The league won't go out of their way to hurt one of the biggest markets they have. All else fails, they'll have most of his suspended games occur next season.

[weebo]

tbh artest should be given an indefinite suspension until he goes through some kind of professional help...its one thing to play hard and dirty and another to go after someone's head...one good whack to the side of the head and harden could've been eating through a straw for the rest of his life...but this is stern were talking about and the lakers...if this were roger goodell...world peace would be joining the saints front office and coaching staff on their year long vacay

[Halberto]

He'll get multiple games. David Stern is no idiot and won't buy the "accident" talk. Harden had his side pressed against MWP before and during the elbow throwing.

I think 2 games is fair. In slow-mo looks intentional in real speed ... incidental. when you factor he was thrown out of that game early 2.5 games plus a substantial fine, makes sense, But the NBA hardly does ...

The NBA needs to lay down the gauntlet on Metta for his hit on Mr. T. If Torres of the Coyotes got 25 for laying out Hossa of the Blackhawks, which was deemed intentional, then the NBA front office needs to step up to the plate and atleast hand out a 10 game suspension, tbh.

Let me take it further, how does anyone KNOW it WAS intentional? He says it wasnt all we can say is what we see, no one except Artest and GOD knows the truth.

If it's looks incidental where do you get off saying he deserves 2 games...I say just let the shit ride...he was kicked out that should be good enough...especially since he was baited into the altercation

I would hope that the NBA would look at it both ways. IF they just use slow-mo 5 games minimum is what he is probably facing ...

I think if you factor both live speed and slow-mo 2.5 splits the difference ...

Harden and OKC getting way too cocky lately ...

[silverblk mystix]

He should be suspended for the rest of this season including playoffs.

He should not be allowed to even be on a team next season....

That's not being soft. An elbow to the side of the head is vicious and dangerous. And incidental? Cmon now.

If it's, say, Ray Allen throwing this elbow? 2 games or so. But Artest? The NBA has to come down hard. Otherwise, you'll get more punks like Bynum thinking they can hand out concussions at the measly cost of 2 games.

What is with you and Baseline? I said in normal speed it looked incidental. Watch the ESPN highlights at normal speed I thought it was just him doung his "King Kong" (beating his chest) and Harden just got caught ... In slow-mo it looks intentional ...I said that MULTIPLE times.

Why are you getting hung up on the first part?

[Jacob1983]

He should get 1 game and a 25K fine and that should be the end of it. However, he won't because David Stern is a dictator.

LMAO @ Bruce Bowen saying that he wasn't a dirty player and that this move by Ron Artest erases all of the progress he made with his behavior in the NBA. What a hypocrite. Wasn't Bruce Bowen famous for sticking his feet underneath the feet of shooters when they would come back down after a jump shot?

What is so hard to understand about that?!

[Killakobe81]

:lmao The whole point of slo-mo is to get the call right.

Dont disagree. But you have to take the play in context ...plus Artest wasnt even looking at Harden. Personally if it is more than 2 Im OK with it. It wont be a complete farce like the Diaw/Amare suspensions ...

Why are you getting hung up on the first part?

1) It wasn't incidental, or at the least, not nearly enough. If that as "incidental", every player who wants to injure someone will just look to the side for a moment and then swing.

2) Just beating his chest? Killa, you don't wind up your elbow to the point that your fist goes behind your head when you try to beat your chest.

http://oi39.tinypic.com/2rylq1e.jpg

Now let's look at it realtime.

so3TR0bcx9k


First off, he's got a good view of the court when he lands and turns around. Second, his arm brushes up against Harden before he reaches back and swings, so he knows the guy is there. Then, he connects with the elbow.

If he were contrite, wouldn't he have stopped and checked the guy out? Nope, just continues to run up the court.

Keep watching the youtube and see the full slomo replay. He needs to be out for at least 10 games.

[Pelicans78]

He deserves 10 games IMO.

[ginobili's bald spot]

I think he gets 5 games.

5 games sounds about right.

If you're relying on Screaming A Smith to argue your case, you might as well concede.

And all these fools saying "1 game" are stupid as hell. Are you not aware of all the huge problems with concussions going on in the NFL? The NHL? Are NBA players immune to concussions?

[DeadlyDynasty]

He deserves 10 games IMO.

10 games is perfect. He'll miss the Sacto game, then the lakers can dick around with Denver for 7 games to milk the suspension. That'll leave only the first 2 games of the WCSF, where the Lakers will be on the road and underdogs anyway.

It's perfect.

Not sure how much context you need to an intentional elbow to the back of the head, Killa.

FWIW, i think he gets 3-5 games.

Harden getting to his spot for a quick inbounds play. He has a right to be there. World Peace unfortunately can be a violent transition.

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao @ killakobe81 going all in with homerism in this thread. :lol

[Cry Havoc]

MWP should be sat for 5 games + however many games Harden misses, minimum. What if Harden isn't right for the entire playoffs and MWP is playing most of the 1st round? That's acceptable?

[namlook]

David West got one game for punching Mike Miller in the back of the head from behind with no question as to intent. Pretty similar risk of a head injury with both plays. If that's anything to go by then MWP gets 1 + 1 extra game for being a repeat offender.

QJTeUYUlGno

[LnGrrrR]

Nam, have you ever actually been punched or thrown a punch before? Usually one closes the fist.

That said, West could at least claim he was trying to foul. (And splitting hairs, I'd probably rather have someone slap the top of my head then elbow me full force in the ear.)

Don't be obtuse. There's no way anyone could claim David West's play was a legitimate attempt to foul. That's absurd.

The bottom part of the palm can deliver a strong enough blow to the head to cause a concussion. And from behind while you are running? That's a very dangerous play with high risk of injury.

Harden is also a known flopper:

I know, it is isn't it? Harden is writhing in pain and the announcers are laughing at him.


Would you rather be hit on the top of the head by an open hand, or behind the ear by a wind-up elbow?

I'd take an open hand. But try having someone wind up and hit you with force on the head with the bottom part of your palm where the bone is. That can cause damage.

[Cry Havoc]

I'd take an open hand. But try having someone wind up and hit you with force on the head with the bottom part of your palm where the bone is. That can cause damage.

Absolutely, and he probably should have gotten 3 games for that.

However, there is no understating how much damage that elbow from MWP could have done.

[LnGrrrR]

Don't be obtuse. There's no way anyone could claim David West's play was a legitimate attempt to foul. That's absurd.

Of course we know it wasn't. That's why he got a flagrant. But at least it was a situation where players can occasionally expect a hard blow. I think he should've gotten a few games too; concussions aren't anything to play with.


The bottom part of the palm can deliver a strong enough blow to the head to cause a concussion. And from behind while you are running? That's a very dangerous play with high risk of injury.

And a wound-up elbow to the side of the head is much worse, imho.

[namlook]

Another pathetic flop by Harden from a blow to the head. Nice Bosh-like delayed reaction.

4gDcHZ1lszY

[LnGrrrR]

Wtf does it matter if he flops other times? Did he flop this time? No.

And since we're talking about the history of the players involved... I'm pretty sure Artest's history means more here.

[FkLA]

:lmao at Killa

Out of legit Laker fans here hes easily the biggest homer. His argument is basically 'yea its pretty clear that its intentional in slow mo, but full speed it looks like it might be incidental and bc of that the league should cut what would be a fair suspension in half' :lol

[namlook]

Wtf does it matter if he flops other times? Did he flop this time? No.

He got hit yes, but given that the guy has a history of exaggerating when he takes a shot to the head we really don't know to what extent he did that here and if he milked it any.

Did you see how those bat rastard :lol Thunder coaches trying to play it up and keep Harden out of the game when he had been cleared to play...nothing but a ploy to make Stern thinks the injury is worse than it appears...Why? Because they don't want to face us in the second round...they're hoping he gets 10 games so they can coast to the the finals.

They're in for a surprise though...Stern will cave to ESPN pressure but it will end up working out for us..when you're trying to do dirty like the Thunder - Karma will come back and bite you in the ass :toast

:lmao Would you rather be elbowed in the side of the head, or hit with a hip check?

Horry's play was dirty, tbh, but made to look a lot worse by Nash flopping like he'd been blown up by a grenade (coincidentally, if Nash doesn't flop like that, I don't think Amare gets off the bench, and the Suns go on to win that series). Hits like that happen all the time in the NBA....sometimes on moving screens which are called for a simple foul, other times on set screens which don't even draw a whistle. Hell, that's a goddamn legal play in hockey. Horry got his two game suspension, and he probably deserved it considering the circumstances.

Compared to swinging an elbow at a guys temple for no apparent reason and dealing out a concussion, though, Horry's foul was child's play. MWP deserves at least three games due to the severity of the foul, and will likely get more considering his history.

10+ games for the elbow. A blow like that is no joke and could've done very serious damage. Since Ron's a Laker, he'll probably get 5 games, but if Stern values the image of his league, he needs to let the fans know behavior like that won't be tolerated and set an example by suspending Artest a significant amount games so that he'll miss the majority or all of the second round. Missing a few games in the first round in which the Lakers would be a massive favorite with or without Artest isn't punishment at all.

The fact that it was behind the ear is mute point...not like he said Ohh gee let me see let's go for behind the ear...dude ran up on Artest and got good value for his bravado in my opinion. And if Artest is going to be suspended regardless of the outcome I hope Harding suffers and suffers and suffers...its like Mike Tyson said after he got out of prison: "I wish I would have raped that bitch"...for as bad as it sounds he's right...if the world is gonna brand you a rapist no matter what... then you fucking right I wish I would have raped that bitch too...

[Sportcamper]

Struggling to find the logic for a stiffer penalty on Metta World Peace for the mistakes made by Ron Artest…This is MWP 1st serious violation…He should not be held accountable for the sins of Ron Artest…I am told that even though MWP & Ron used to be friends, they rarely talk to each other anymore…

[Mixability]

David West got one game for punching Mike Miller in the back of the head from behind with no question as to intent. Pretty similar risk of a head injury with both plays. If that's anything to go by then MWP gets 1 + 1 extra game for being a repeat offender.

Don't spin. Tray confronted Zimmerman. Your logic dictates that people who confront other people deserve what they get, regardless if the reaction is disproportionate or not (as it was in both cases. Harden didn't deserve an elbow to the head for simply being near Artest when he was "celebrating" and Tray didn't deserve a bullet for stepping up to Zimmerman).

Harden did nothing wrong. The only reason you're trying to find justification for the incident is because Artest is a Laker. Take a cue from your boyfriend luva and just celebrate it honestly and openly. You come off like a bitch trying to "justify."

Wrong is wrong. And don't compare Bowen to this. Bowen has kicked Wally true, but in that play, Wally tried to escape dribble right into Bowen's foot. That was inadvertent and that's why the league agreed and he didn't suffer a harsh penalty.

Metta Weird Piece though, he has HISTORY for stuff like the elbow. He's mental and I'm glad he's your ISSUE and not ours. Unless of course, he takes out one of our players. And if the NBA only lets him off with a light penalty, then a thug could look at taking a hit out on opposing players and rationalize that a 2 or 3 game suspension ain't that bad as opposed to taking out a key player for possibly a series if not longer.
That's why the NBA will at least suspend him for the 1st round. It's about Character and you guys are ultimate fails for condoning what's wrong. If Harden was your relative or if that happened to say, Ramon Session, you'd understand why.

[Sportstudi]

There shouldn't be any excuses for this incident. After watching the videos several times, I think that it was for sure intentional. He should be suspended for that. Throwing such an elbow to the head can cause severe damage. I have several years of personal experience in martial arts (Karate and Kung Fu (wǔshù, chinese martial arts)) and I can tell you that in the worst case this action can paralyze the victim or even kill (depending on the area which got hit). Especially if the person using it is strong as an ox like MWP. Using this elbow technique is actually illegal in the UFC because of the harm it can cause. I'm not saying that MWP wanted to hit exactly Harden's head, but he was for sure not caring about the part he hit.

Nah, you're just making excuses for Artest because he's a Laker.

2 days post the elbow and no "quick" decison by the NBA does that portend a long or short suspension?

Could go either way..my guess is a long one..but maybe they are reviewing the video so closely they want to make sure they make the right decision? intentional..not intentional..the league must be looking at this from all angles.

The more times you see it, the worse it looks, tbh. I think the longer they take to review, the longer the suspension but who knows.

Do concussed people look up with their eyes wide the fuck open like that? Clearly you are not this dumb. :rolleyes

[ChumpDumper]

You'll have to show us all clear evidence they can't, doctor.

[ChumpDumper]

What are the symptoms?

It is not always easy to know if someone has a concussion. You don't have to pass out (lose consciousness) to have a concussion.

Symptoms of a concussion range from mild to severe and can last for hours, days, weeks, or even months. If you notice any symptoms of a concussion, contact your doctor.

Symptoms of a concussion fit into four main categories:

Thinking and remembering

Not thinking clearly
Feeling slowed down
Not being able to concentrate
Not being able to remember new information

Physical

Headache
Fuzzy or blurry vision
Nausea and vomiting
Dizziness
Sensitivity to light or noise
Balance problems
Feeling tired or having no energy

Emotional and mood

Easily upset or angered
Sad
Nervous or anxious
More emotional

Sleep

Sleeping more than usual
Sleeping less than usual
Having a hard time falling asleep

Of course they can.

But joking to the side, we all know that clown was not concussed. I've seen concussed players. Harden is NOT one of them tbqh.

The over/under for World Peace's suspension length has been set at 7.5 games by the online sportsbook Bovada.

Let's go to the root here: What do you think a concussion actually is?

The symptoms you mentioned. Did he look like he had blurred vision? Hell no. Did he display nausea/vomiting? Hell no - he wanted to get back in the game - immediately. Did he look dizzy? :lol was there any light sensitivity? Look at the pic. Was he squinting? :lol

Stop trolling. That punkass didn't suffer no damn concussion. You know it but won't admit it. Speaks to your lack of character tbh.

Carry on... :wakeup

That seems unrealistic.

lol lack of character

He's going to be on Conan tonight.

I didn't say all of them. I mentioned a few that should be observable to the common man. He was negative on everything I would look for.

You are a Laker hater, I get it. But you trying to :downspin: shit I didn't say speaks to your lack of character. I understand you now. It's all good. :tu

Or from dozens to hundreds of feet away?

Which one?

[LkrFan]

Oh, so your claim is you can make a medical diagnosis of a concussion in a few seconds through a TV broadcast?

Prove to me he was concussed - as you claim. Here's a hint: you can't due to HIPAA. So, unless his doctor comes out and says it (he could be sued if he lies about it), I'm sticking to my eyeball test: he fakingPERIOD.

[ChumpDumper]

How is a concussion diagnosed?

If a doctor thinks that you have a concussion, he or she will ask questions about the injury. Your doctor may ask you questions that test your ability to pay attention and your learning and memory. Your doctor may also try to find out how quickly you can solve problems. He or she may also show you objects and then hide them and ask you to recall what they are. Then the doctor will check your strength, balance, coordination, reflexes, and sensation. Sometimes a doctor will order imaging tests such as a CT scan or a MRI to make sure your brain is not bruised or bleeding.

http://www.webmd.com/brain/tc/traumatic-brain-injury-concussion-overview?page=2

Hmm, nothing about watching a person lie on the ground on TV for a few seconds.

[ohmwrecker]

Whether or not Harden was concussed is not the issue.

lol spin smack
lol unintentional
lol medical diagnosis

Prove to me he was concussed - as you claim. Here's a hint: you can't due to HIPAA. So, unless his doctor comes out and says it (he could be sued if he lies about it), I'm sticking to my eyeball test: he fakingPERIOD.Harden later was diagnosed with a concussion.

http://newsok.com/okc-thunder-james-harden-faces-rigorous-evaluation-uncertain-return-to-court-after-concussion/article/3668875

[ChumpDumper]

Furthermore:

Under the NBA's newly instituted concussion policy, Harden can return to the court only after passing a rigorous evaluation process that could take several days.

Once he's considered free of concussion symptoms, Harden must make it through increasing stages of exertion — from riding a stationary bike, to jogging, to agility work, to individual basketball skills — while ensuring the symptoms don't return after each stage.

If Harden passes each test the team then has to consult with Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher, the director of the NBA's concussion program, to determine when Harden can return.

So your claim is now that the NBA is in on the conspiracy to fake Harden's concussion.
