Niiiice. The Sacto game and the first round, basically. If we get Dallas that'll chew up the 6 games for sure (might get him back if there's a Game 7). If it's Denver he'll miss Game 1 against OKC.

So let's pray that the Lakers don't sweep the first round. :lol

Lakers have 1 game left. They handle the 6th seed in 6 games . MWP is back against the Thunder in the 2nd round. Stern and the NBA thought this through pretty well tbh, cant have your cash cow playing shorthanded.

Should have been at least 10...but it's better than a slap on the wrist(2 or 3 games).

Hmm, could hurt. Let's see how the Lakers play SAC without him.
Jokes aside, this could free some shots for the Lakers bigs.

About what I expected. I was hoping 12 but that was just the homer in me.

5 games woulda been enough for me, the two extra are just gravy.

Anything from 5-10 is considered fair.

Bias against my guys is appalling...just like when Kobe called that ref a faggot...he was hit with a 100k fine....That pretty long haired yellow-bone in Chicago commited the same offense (right after Kobe did it) and was hit with a 50k fine...fucking two-faced weasels

Good length. Misses the entire first round for a likely matchup with Denver, a team filled with perimeter threats.

I honestly expected 3 games.

If this was a player on any other team, he'd be missing the playoffs altogether.

Like I just said. Lakers just got better temporarily. Minutes might catch up to them but World Peace is not a good fit for that team. Lakers bigs will be more dangerous now.

Given his past, I wish the league should have clamped down hard on him. That elbow was fully intended to hurt Harden, Artest's whole side was against Harden before he struck, of course he knew he weas there :lol. I think the suspension is relatively fair though.

He had been playing pretty well though, scoring and making plays.

Nevermind, WTF was I thinking. That penalty is too light. Should be at least the remainder of the season and 10 playoff games. I don't think you realistically can go too high on the suspension in this case. With a man that big and strong throwing a full elbow to the back of another dude's head, you need to be very strict. Should have sent a message and made Artest pay, and it'd be his fault for the Lakers entering the playoffs at a disadvantage. That should be one of the prices for gambling on a crazy fuck like Artest.

So how the fuck does the suspension work? If the Lakers somehow got swept in the 1st round, would Ron Artest have to sit out the first two games of the regular season?

That seems logical doesn't it?

That's how it works. He has to sit out the next 7 games his team plays, playoffs or regular season.

I wish I wish I wish....:lol

All this does is shows me how hard my nigga Kobe really is...he sustained a broken nose and a concussion and yet he still played the ASG...whereas this long bearded arab wanna be fuck face gets a little inadvertant elbow and he sits....now if this faggot doesn't miss at least 1 play-off game :hat

^ truth bomb tbh, sure MWP ain't a gentleman but he ain't never shitting anyone for no reason. beard nigga acted like a bitch the whole game until he got KOed, i think if you were in a similar situation you'd have done exactly the same tbh. MWP just be too swole for that softass nigga tbh, MWP didn't throw his elbow at him he just poked his arm like saying "fuck off, faggot" and his elbow hit his neck all by accident tbh
