Good, and I'm totally Ok with individual punishments of those fans. They should definitely be barred from any future NBA games.
I'm just making my point, hoping that the NBA would do more.

Stern did not levy any punishment on the Piston fans nor the Piston organization. As for his response all he offered was a weak "we'll look into it."
Again, he emphasized punishing specific fans who commit acts.
Marcus bryant, you are a retard...........................
I feel bad for Pacer fans but this is what happens when you infect your roster with a guy like Artest. Play with fire and you will be burned.
Umm.. Alvarez, try bring something to the discussion besides comments like that.
hahaha my bad
Jackson got off extremely light, he was creating havok orgionally circling everyone wantinf to crack skulls. He was the first with his fists up. Then he flew into the stands and punched that dude pretty damn hard. I was thinking he should get the same as Artest, maybe a little less because he wasn't the first to enter the stands.
Never the less the Pacers are fucked.
Didn't ghost at one time want Artest?
Were'nt the Spurs trying to get him and Mercer when they were in Chicago... that would of been bad. Thank god we didn't.
SJAX is a psycho!
Everyone got what they deserve!
I've very satisfied with the player punishments that were handed out.
I would like to see the NBA address the Pacers and their draft pick, though.
yeah the last thing we need is Indy getting a good pick as a result of this.
Damn. Artest blew a hell of a shot at a title. Indy was so freaking impressive beating quality teams while playing through a ton of injuries. They might have been the best team in the league with road wins in Cleveland, Minnesota, and 45 seconds from a win to be proud of on the champ's homecourt. I really feel sorry for Reggie. This was his shot to win it all with the team he's given his career to and Artest shits on it. It's such a horrible thing for the NBA and its fans to lose one of the great teams in the league. What a bunch of jackasses though.
BTW, if Artest got the season Jack got off ridiculously light. His intents and actions were far and away the worst IMO. I know Artest started the shit, but that punch Jack delivered was ridiculous.
have indy had a home game yet? if so what reception did they get?

Dam are you serious thats some stupid shit. Ah well crowds probably won't even tun up now :)Quote:

Well Bird most certainly is getting anything of value back for Artest if someone is stupid enough to do it.
In the words of the Pacers radio guy...."Boom Baby!"
Seriously guys, what did Stern say? Anything new? smart?
What if the Pacers get the #1 pick in the lottery?
Sequ, I would think they'd have to do something so that they can't get a lottery pick. The organization can't end up getting rewarded for this fiasco.
Cue Artest to Toronto for Vince talks ;)
LOL. Wouldn't that be something?
I think the final punishment in the coffin would be to give them the final picks in the draft rounds.Quote:
