it is probably good for the lakers but this is not the point... this was awful... this guy shouldn't come back playing bb at all
Didn't he get suspended in last year's playoffs? He probably cost the Lakers a chance of winning game 3 in Dallas.

it's the Lakers, he'll be back for the playoffs...
Disagree. They'll probably start Ebanks and keep Barnes off the bench because of how ty det bench is.
He's their only perimeter defender and probably their most reliable 3pt shooter lately.
It won't hurt them that much if they play Denver/Dallas but it's gonna kill them in the 2nd round against OKC.

This guy has been washed up the last few years. I really believe that whatever success he has on the defensive end is due to fear he imposes on players that he might actually hurt them. He really needs to be in UFC fighting I think that is the right sport for him.
Clearly you haven't been watching him play the last few weeks.
Yeah I have and I still think he is washed up. Anybody can have a fluke stretch of 7-10 games like he did when Kobe was gone. He is a washed up player and I stand by it the guy was trash for most of the year prior to Kobe's injury.
Ironic, that he goes by the name "World Peace"
Bynum didn't charge the stands and attack a fan earlier in his career.
2 or 3 games max. The NBA wants a Lakers vs Miami finals.Damn.
That looked like a movie. That's at least 5 games. Considering his history, 10 games wouldn't shock.
But he's a Laker so probably 2 games.
Very good point. He and Jackson both probably got an ultimatum of some sort. I think I will bet he is gone for the playoffs.
As for vicious, I would also put the Malone to Isiah Thomas face smash up there. For those of us old enough to remember Rudy T., that was absolutely awful, the worst I have seen.
Malone has several that rate as that bad, but the most recent was the Robinson one I think. Actually he may have knocked out Nash's teeth after that.
Another good point. It really forces Sterns hand. Wonder what the players group can do... or will do... They have an interest in the well being of the players as well as punishments that are too harsh.
That would send the right message, press charges on the chump
Agree. I could have taken that hit and been right out there playing. I slammed my head on a large rock making a diving catch in the woods( woods just outside of left field)during a softball game and continued playing the game. It takes a bigger hit than that to be concussed. Can't compare that hit with what you see in the NFL that causes concussions.
It was intentional and a suspension is needed but anymore more than 2 or 3 games with the playoffs starting is excessive.
Doubt Harden has anything more than a knot on his head but look for OK City to try to play up the injury(Harden missing the next game) to try to get a bigger suspension. They won't beat the lakers if they have to face them. OK City is the choke team in this years playoffs.
The NBA wants the Lakers vs Miami in the finals. That would be the biggest money draw for the league. They don't want the Spurs anywhere near the finals and won't be doing anything to help them get there.

No such thing as World Peace, never will be.Ironic, that he goes by the name "World Peace"
On Earth Day. Metta World Peace. That's just bizarre.
Lakers fans comments on YouTube:
"Metta should do that again, except this time to Durant. Lakers World Champions 2012."
"Man up! He just got hit."
"He was celebrating. Wasn't intentional. Man up. I'd get right back up if I got hit."
"Harden needs to get da out of the way!"
Sick.
"Metta World Peace",huh?
Just put Artest out of the League
Not trying to argue, but I disagree. They're saying that apparently Harden left with concussion-like symptoms. He didn't fully look like himself to me when he came back out either.
Artest deserves a heavy suspension at the very least simply based on what happened during the game and his response to Ibaka and Durant afterwards. Going into a fight stance after making a play like that? Just shows that something snapped in my opinion and that he needs to be held accountable.
Depending on Harden's medical report, however, I can't say I wouldn't think long and hard about a full season or permanent ban if I was David Stern. Artest already had a second chance after the Detroit brawl and he's shown yet again that he's incapable of controlling himself. Maybe he needs to be medicated or something.
After the malice at the Palace, my dad said he thought Artest should've been banned for life. I couldn't agree more after this afternoon.
rascal is a beast on dem softball fields.
And two of them blowouts? Damn right.
Not anymore. This was in 1989.
