It wasn't a bottle and not in the face...it was a plastic beer cup, the ones like you bye at SBC for $4 and it hit Artest in the chest....watch the video people before you make up.
Duff, I've never made any comments on you idiotic posts on other topics, because I took as being young and not knowing better. And your seem to be getting it enough from eveybody else. But after reading all your takes on this, you are a punk and don't know when to STFU. Dude, don't comment on you have no earthly idea about.
There's no excuse for the players going into the stands in my opinion. Sure, the fans were wrong for throwing a plastic cup of beer but the players weren't in danger at that point. The only danger came when the Artest, Jack, Tinsley, Wallaces, Jones, Harrison, etc went in the stands.
Imagine the trauma for the kids there. I just can't side at all with the players on this. If things were being thrown at them, they should have headed to the locker room.
I want everyone who said "it's just liquid" to now say if someone threw it at you you would just wait for security.
Hey, did the Spurs play tonight?
Mikey, Jim Gray reported that it was a bottle that hit Artest in the face,,,since he was right there, I took his word for it. I reported this first because I was watching it live, not on tape like you guys, I said what Gray told me.
There is no excuse for it but I can understand it. Doesn't mean its right or I condone it. Everyone was wrong here.
So Jim Gray can't be wrong?....I watched the video over and over...it was a blue beer cup to the chest.
I was not wrong....speak for yourself.
My bad...
Everyone but Jim was wrong!
For all we knew, he got hit by a bottle first, then a beer cup. Gray said that Artest was hit in the face with a bottle, so I believed what he reported...he said he was sitting right next ti him...he should know...right?
Everybody's at fault, Artest shouldn't have gone in. But I don't blame all the other players, they have to go in and take Artest out. When they went in, they started to get hit and once you get hit, you have to protect yourself. They shouldn't be blamed. I go back to what the IND coach said, he felt like he was fighting for his LIFE.
He also believes Kobe is the messiah.
Also Tommy Nunez was hit by a full bottle of beer to the face and suffered a bruise to the face and had to be treated. Those bottle hurt man.
Artest ATTACKED the wrong guy!
This thread is too long to read. I'm just going to say that Artest, Jackson and O'Neal should be suspended for at least 20 games a piece. The crowd was in the wrong, but not that wrong. Artest got liquid poured on him ... it's not like he was hit by a chair.
I really hope that wasn't Mike Brown who threw a punch. He'd never get a head coaching job ... and he was so close to getting one.
Chuck Person to the rescue
In the last report I heard from Gray, he stated that it was "a plastic cup or maybe a bottle", so who knows.Mikey, Jim Gray reported that it was a bottle that hit Artest in the face,,,since he was right there, I took his word for it. I reported this first because I was watching it live, not on tape like you guys, I said what Gray told me.
I've seen the replay a million times. Looked like a blue plastic Dixie cup to me.
I felt bad for Jones....he was trying to help and some big ass dude came up behind him and popped him in the head.
They should find the fans, pull their season tickets and file charges against them
Jack didn't go in to pull Artest out. He went in to fight. Tinsley and Jones, yes it looked like they were trying to pull them out.Artest shouldn't have gone in. But I don't blame all the other players, they have to go in and take Artest out. When they went in, they started to get hit and once you get hit, you have to protect yourself.
It looked like Brown was trying to help.
Jackson went nuts! What the was that? You get a little activator in your hair and you go crazy!
That black guy in the suit that popped JOnes and other players was not a fan. He had an NBA credential around his neck.I felt bad for Jones....he was trying to help and some big ass dude came up behind him and popped him in the head.
They should find the fans, pull their season tickets and file charges against them
Tinsley went into the hallway and then came out with like a crowbar or something. He was going to try to kill someone it looked like.
Luckily Chuck Person saved the day.
ESPN pointed out that former Bad Boy Rick Mahorn was trying to break things up, too.
Oh, you can see the cup, but was that the first thing that hit him? It looked like when the cup hit him, he was already jumping up.
Kori is right....before Artest went into the stands....Jack was jawing with Coleman and others, he untucked his jersey and put his fists up. Talking the whole time.
Agreed. They should also suspend JO, Artest, and Jax for the year.They should find the fans, pull their season tickets and file charges against them
