If the bottle was solid and Artest was cut and bleeding, yeah...I wouldn't have a problem with him going into the stands.
He wasn't bleeding. He was wet. And you already said that you understand his reaction and would have done the same. If he actually thought he was in danger, he should have just gone to the locker room. But he wanted to fight. And he didn't care who he was fighting with.
Re: Another good article on the fight.
But you're proud of the Pacers, you admit, you said you be their at that airport cheering those thugs on.
That's the samething as Piston fans throwing crap onto the players and and onto the court.
Re: Another good article on the fight.
it was plastic
not glass
I think he should have not punched the guy until he made sure it was the right guy
hold the gauynot punch him
then you might jusify him going out to get the guy
(although I can not)

Right, I understand that. If Artest had been sitting on the bench got hit, then yeah...he could just point out the person in stands and have security get them.
In this case however, he had just been separated from Wallace after he had been shoved back by him. The fuse had been lit inside Artest...the cup coming down and hitting him just set off the bomb inside of him.
The one player who should be hit with the most is Artest, I wouldn't be surprised if he's suspended close to 30 games. J.O. will be suspended probably closer to that, followed by Jackson. Wallace will probably just get 5 games tops, if not less.
Re: Another good article on the fight.
WRF are you trying to JUSTIFIY Artest's actions!?!?!?!
Oh, because you're Pacer fan.

Me. My friends. Many people stop. Maybe we're not "men" enough or whatever but I've seen what happens to people who get into situations and don't restrain themselves. Ugly incidents like what happened to Artest.
