Suspensions

[Jimcs50]

Here are my predictions for suspensions:

1. S Jackson 20 games
2. ONeal 20 games
3. Artest 20 games
4. Wallace 10 games
5. Jones 10 games
6. all others who left bench 2 games

[ducks]

it is a good thinhg pacers signed jackson for so much money so he can survive all those games without getting paid

[Duff McCartney]

No way Wallace gets ten games..he'll get 3....5 at the most.

The rest of those punks will get minimum 20 games.

[Jimcs50]

Duff, I will bet you $200 that Wallace gets 10 games min.

[pooh]

Who knows...should be interesting, but the detroit fans were the indistigators

[FilSpursFan]

How about those fans who threw debris? Will they get banned too?

[pooh]

They should from what I saw.

[JsnSA]

Man...Artest is a key player on my main fantasy team.

And everyone talks a lot of smack in that one too.

I'm going to be dropping down the rankings until Artest gets back.

If i'm the Pacers, I'd lobby the NBA to examine the video and press charges on every fan that got involved. I'd like to see them use all the cameras available in the arena and try to identify each and every fan that threw something(especially the person that threw a chair). Especially the ones that got on the court and confronted Artest and got smacked.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not a Pacers fan, but the deal between Artest and Wallace looked to be under control or at least cooling down until Artest got hit while laying on the scorers table. That's when all hell breaks loose. I know i'll catch heat for this, but at that point i can't fault Artest too much.

They should be suspended yes, but probably about 200 people from that arena need to be behind bars or facing heavy fines. That was truly classless on the Pistons fans' part.

[Kori Ellis]

I'm sure the fans will have charges filed against them, and so willl the players.

[Spurminator]

Duff, I will bet you $200 that Wallace gets 10 games min.


I'll take a piece of that action.

[Kori Ellis]

Every player left the benches, will the suspend them all?

[Kori Ellis]

The only person I commend is Tinsley, who actually did everything he could to stop it.

Even coach Mike Brown was pushing people and causing trouble.

[SequSpur]

Didn't some man in a brown suit lay Tinsley out?

[SequSpur]

I thought Coach Brown was trying to stop everything and was just overwhelmed and said fuck it... lets throw down.

[Kori Ellis]

Didn't some man in a brown suit lay Tinsley out?

I thought that guy hit Artest, not Tinsley.

[ShoogarBear]

In a related story, Rick Carlisle released some statistics showing there was no fighting tonight.

[SequSpur]

Correction, it was no. 20... Fred jones.

[spurster]

How about 5 home games or so for Detroit where no fans are allowed?

[Jimcs50]

Kori, they will all get suspended, but it will be staggered so anly 3-4 at a time get suspensions.

[Rick Von Braun]

In a related story, Rick Carlisle released some statistics showing there was no fighting tonight.:lol

Never, ever build any fantasy team around a nutjob.

How about no alcohol at any Detroit home games for the rest of the season instead

[timvp]

Jackson, Artest and O'Neal should get AT LEAST 20 games.

[goliath]

Any player that left the bench should get 2 games regardless of what they did.

Any player that went into the crowd should get 5-10 regardless of what they did when they were in the crowd.

Wallace should get 10 games for starting the fight with Artest.

Artest, Oneil, and Jax all should get a minimum of 20 games.

Artest,, jax, Oneil, fan who threw the beer, big guy who coldcocked Artest should all get criminal charges brought against them.

Artest and Wallace were the instigators...the fans just made a bad situation worse. Everyone was wrong...except for Jim :spin
