Artest to be suspended for Game #2

[ALVAREZ6]

this is complete ing bull . stern and the rest of the nba should burn in for this. what a crop of . manu is a piece of . his dirty move was never under review was it? goddamn, im so sick of the league playing favorites. MANUre.

Sucks to be a Kings fan, there is absolutely NO HOPE, don't even bother watching.

That is Ron Artest's fault for being a ing ass, he created all of this throughout his career. Even before the Detroit brawl, he was a ing punk all along.

I don't remember anyone other than Ron ing Artest tackling someone to the ground as if they were holding a football rather than dribbling a basketball, and yes, it looked just like it. Not an arm tackle or a shove to the ground, he tackled Eric Snow while he was dribbling...before he even reached half court!!!

What a ing idiot.


Ron Artest deserves this, he needs to be banned, he will never change. I don't mind contact or violence, but it has to be used in the right place. Artest obviously went into the wrong sport, he could have been a football player, boxer, wrestler...whatever.


During game 4, I expect Artest to try and kill another player. That's just how re ed and crazy this guy is.

I'm sure Eric Snow probably flopped on that one.

Now that's the i'm talking about. STOP BLAMING THE LEAGUE. BLAME YOUR PUNK ASS ARTEST AND MAKE HIM RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS OWN ACTIONS! You are the people who blame everyone else for your problems and end up on welfare. Here's to you.....

One for every game in this SWEEP!

[trevcourt]

Will the King's homers please step outside for their regularly scheduled beatings.

I wish the NBA wouldn't schedule these things so far apart - Tuesday to Friday is too long between beatings. And 8:30 PM Central Time is really too late to get a beating started on a Tuesday.

haha, i call bull . what the would this goddamn forum be saying if it was that piece of manu who was suspended (which he should have been) then we would see who the ing homers are. this is a ing outrage. ing crazy and orchestrated by the league as a gift to their darling spurs.

[ALVAREZ6]

No, he didn't, I remember it.



It was when he was a Sixer.

[PM5K]

Can you imagine a game where one team had:

Valde, Laimbeer, Rodman

And the other had:

Manu, Okaley, Artest

OMG?

Well, this guy I know unexpectedly has the night off and....

[polandprzem]

Now Manu's target should be Bibby.

Flop him out Manu!

[ALVAREZ6]

Their darling spurs??????


WTF, more like their darling Lebron and Kobe.



What the do you mean "he should have been"?

You are just being a homer, and I know I am a Manu homer, but I would admit it if Manu intentionally elbowed Artest in the face.

Go watch it in slow motion, he was making his drive. I have seen Manu play so many times, and that movement that he made is what he always does, it's just the way his body works I guess. People normally move their arms as they run, they don't run and keep their arms straight down their sides.


Besides, Manu never was the asshole kind of guy who would ever do that cheap .

The problem is, we will NEVER really know what the true outcome of this series would have been if the league had stayed out of it. Now, they've decided who the winners are. Sac can forever claim that they could have won. Artest has already served his "time" and they should not be using him as an example. I rewatched the tape several times, and Ginobili clearly set the tone within the first few seconds by splitting open Artest's lip. It looks just as intentional as Ron's foul. The refs. didn't catch it, move on to game 2! But now, the Spurs will never win this cleanly. The league stepped in to help them. I wish they would just let them play the ^%# game! I saw much, much more physical shots in other games this weekend. the exchange between Battier and Stackhouse was ridiculous. Tim D. had an elbow in Artest from behind. It happens all the time, and IF you play every play slow-motion, the league could or should suspend them ALL!!!

come on dude, artest has brought this all down on himself. if the spurs win the series, we have a very clear idea of the true outcome. seeing all the trouble artest has caused the NBA he will never be done serving his "time" and he deserves all the scrutiny that comes as a consequence of his actions. stu jackson's job is to study questionable fouls on game tape.

Time: Saturday, April 22
Location: Undisclosed location, David Stern's cell phone


RRRRING!

Stern: o?

Jackson: David? Stu. I just got word that the Spurs are up 34 on the Kings at halftime.

Stern: Oh, , here we go. Wait, really? Who was watching that game??

Jackson: My sister's little girl is a Kings fan. She called me.

Stern: The little girl?

Jackson: *sigh* No, sir. My sister.

Stern: Ah. Okay, call one of the interns and tell them to switch over to the second half, and if Artest lets loose so much as a fart near the Spurs' bench, I want a full report at 9AM on Monday. Do you understand?

Jackson: Yes, sir.

Stern: Impress upon them the importance of this, and the sensitivity of the issue. I don't care if the ratings are in the toilet, Cuban is NOT backing into the ing finals on my watch, got it?

Jackson: Will do, sir.

Click.

who forgot to rewind the tape to the intentional ginobli foul? perhaps he needs to do 'his job' better or more consistent to review plays from players not named artest.

...

woops, just read Pero's post a few down!

Over react much?

It's funny you -talk about Manu like he was doing a Ray Allen or something. It wasn't Manu, Pop or the Spurs that pushed the play to be reviewed...if you want to be pissed, at least pick the right person. And that was intentional ... you should have something to say about that nutjob you're worshipping as well.

I don't think he should have been suspended, but you are totally directing your righteous indignation at the wrong person for the fact that he has been.

[Pero]

well, I see you removed all video links Kori, how about a gif image though? if you dont want it just take it off =)

This is issue has been addressed here 100's of times, but I'll recap it for you again.

You can't post any NBA video here unless you have permission from the NBA to post it. That's the rules of the NBA -- not me. You can't post clips of the video, links to the video, pieces of the video. You can't ask other posters to give you copies of a video, etc.

I don't read every post here and have signatures turned off a lot, so if you have NBA video in your signature -- please take it out.

[ALVAREZ6]

Artest has always been known to make stupid decisions, statements, etc. and he did again in game one.

He says his Kings are gonna win it all this year, when in reality, they won't make it out of the first round.


He's luck that this guy didn't knock him out before he got hit with the cup:



After that whole Detroit brawl crap, Ron Artest even said that he wanted to fight Ben Wallace or some like he could take him...


the guy isn't the brightest bulb out there.

[Obstructed_View]

If not following the forearm to Duncan and coming before the body slam of Parker Artest would NOT have been suspended.

[Pero]

Alvarez, you don`t think Artest can take Ben Wallace?

[ALVAREZ6]

who forgot to rewind the tape to the intentional ginobli foul? perhaps he needs to do 'his job' better or more consistent to review plays from players not named artest.

Then be pissed at him, not Manu.

Bruce Bowen says it best....IT IS WHAT IT IS!

[E20]

Like Ron would have made a difference.

talk about someone who needs a permanant suspension.
