Making Kobe cry made Bowen one of the most hated players by Laker fans, even after he retired.
Btw I think the Lakers are better without Artest.

Yet, he was suspended only once or twice in his entire career... whereas MWP will be heading into his 100+ game suspension...
your butthurt is off the charts
bombs
Bruce Bruce just stepped up when no other player in the league would, and put that lil pipsqweek in his place. We all know it needed to be done.
Bowen is the bowtie wearing batman of the nba. Someone had to clean up this place through any means possible.
If Stern wants to really send a message, this is the perfect time to do it. Suspend him for the playoffs. Otherwise I'd say around 5 or so games; perhaps miss the first couple of the playoffs.
Bowen cleans up the league by punishing the untouchables. Metta Bones Jones beats up fans. It's pretty cut and dry tbh.
Pretty much dead on, tbh.![]()
What would be the reaction if Peace only missed games next season? Stern wants to make sure Lakers stick around to bump up ratings.
Bruce Bowen and his bowtie will go![]()
how is that fair??!?!

if the lakers do get far in the playoffs and artest suspension is minimal games only
would like to see him pull a ballotelli by wearing a WHY ME shirt
Someone find the youtube video that shows the Bowen-Paul incident in slow motion (and from another angle I think). I've seen it before, but I haven't been able to find it in a while.
After Paul hit Bowen in the groin with the back of his hand, Bowen started to step backwards (his foot was going in the opposite direction from Paul) and Paul threw himself backwards pretending to be kicked.
Arguments can be made for some other things that Bowen has done (though some of those are flawed also), but the suspension for the Paul incident was ridiculous, especially from the slow-motion version of the incident.
Emoticon -talk is all you can throw? Weak sauce.
Have you read your and other lakerfan posts today?
Daylong meltdowns are fun.
Like the Spurfans are having because of Matt Barnes' calculated truth bomb?
Artest will get 7 games.
Adrian Wojnarowski: The Lakers' Metta World Peace has been suspended seven games for elbow to James Harden.
Eric Pincus: Metta = 7 games
Marc Stein: NBA announces that Metta World Peace has been suspended for seven games for striking OKC's James Harden
Well, point of the thread is over.
Could be closed now, or whatever.
