Jon Barry is right about the fact that this behavior is Artest, it is not MWP.

Yeah, that's the thing. He wasn't swinging both arms, he wound up and delivered a hard elbow with his left. Some might try to argue he was just trying to brush past and maybe foul the guy in the shoulder/back, but it seems more likely (especially given his past history) he just lost it and clocked Harden in the head on purpose.
I hope Harden doesn't have a concussion because, with the whole concussion process, he could miss a part of the playoffs.
And Artest should get at least 5 games for that.
Who is the jerk on espn who is arguing that Artest wasn't malicious in this?
Even Homer Magic is disgusted in the studio halftime segment.
Dear lord yes.
Very disappointing after all the positive changes MWP/RA made. I'm really disgusted by it. And I'm 100% with Jon Berry on this one.
Some jerk announcer is trying to claim that Artest wasn't 'malicious' in his intent in throwing that elbow. The guy is a total fool if he believes that.
Yeah, he said Artest was guilty, but he also said the suspension should be only 2 games.
Jesus he could of knocked him out, could have been much worse, he didnt get hit by a chump..Artest is one of the strongest dudes in the game
His ass ought to be banned from the league. That trash has no place in sports. Should have been zero tolerance after the Malice.
And as Jon Berry pointed out, he wasn't pounding his chest. He may never have made eye contact, but Harden's arms was on him and MWP wound up, his elbow swinging up over his own head to hit as hard as he could. There was no way that was not deliberate. The best you could say is that he didn't know he'd him him in the head/ear and cause a possible concussion. But it was designed to hurt Harden.
If Sanders of Milwaukee gets two games for "trying" to start a fight without actually hitting anybody, MWP should get at least five.
But, he's a Laker, he'll get two
And if Harden had turned his head and caught that elbow around the eye he'd be headed for surgery to have plates implanted to deal with the shattered bones in his face.

5 games MINIMUM. And that is only if Harden is OK and doesn't miss any games. Magic Johnson is a ing idiot if he says two games. I feel like clocking him in the head like that right now and see if he still wants it to be only two games.
Plus the fact that it is Artest, giving him two games is a joke. If it's only 2 games the NBA is a ing joke.
To me it looked like he completely lost it, like he went completely psycho there for a minute. Scary .
Luckily he didnt catch his nose, that would have been messy and gnarly...MWP is a ing tool bag and .
It was totally intentional - he needs help
Sorry to say this, but considering his history he should be banned from the league.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.
That's not only violent or risky behavior...that's a shot at the head that could have put in serious danger a player's life.
Metta is just been lucky he didn't shot a more dangerous part of Harden's head.
But the league can not treat this fact like a normal, also if dangerous, playing contact.
wow
Harden is a ing man to take a shot like that and try and come back in the game -
Nevermind, going back to locker room to get his shank....
I thought the same thing. Thank goodness that wasn't Ginobili
You know if he pulled that in real life (outside the NBA) there's a great chance that he'd be in jail for a couple of months.
Concussion.
Was rooting for the Lakers in this game, but that play made it hard to continue doing so.
