Damn, these suspensions are epidemic...
SAN ANTONIO (DP) - The San Antonio Spurs today announced that they have suspended center Nazr Mohammed indefinitely for taking a three-point shot attempt in the final minute of the Spurs' win in Game 1 of their opening playoff round series with the Sacramento Kings.
don't blow them out san antonio!
"Manu hit Ron"
... in the head? The rule is specific about "above the shoulders".
Has Manu ever caused a riot? ever got a flagrant 2? ever been suspended for violence?
The NBA is obviously not putting up with any bull .
Udonis Haslem was suspended as well. http://www.nba.com/news/haslem_060424.html
that's a little much. Though I could have lived with a fine, Ron's elbows were intentional. Now with the Sac Media calling for injuries, NBA is going to crack down hard and fast.
it's extreme it was suspended because it's ron artest it's not normal
based on reputation??? Artest was prob already warned to be on his best behaviour for the rest of his career.
Artest also threw a bow at TD's head earlier in the game. Frankly, the crazy mofo should be happy he's even back in the league.
I'm in' pissed (NBA shouldn't suspend him dammit)
Now imagine what does Artest think?
Game 3 will be a scary game. And I see very much more compe ive team in G#2
And had it been anyone but Artest, there would not have been a suspension. The league has had enough of this guy. You can only pull so many times before it catches up with you.
I've never felt a need to defend Artest, but IMO this is a terrible call.
Fine his ass if you need to punish him, but a suspension is sooo way overboard.
However, at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter as the Kings never had a chance of winning this series.
not at all. Ron is one misstep away from being thrown out of the league. $60 mil or so down the drain.
I think he got what he deserved. I was at the game and it looked like his only defense was to see how many opponents he could hit in the head thruout the night. manu was the most obvious. If he got by with this, he would eventually really hurt someone. There's more to defense then Artest's (and others) method of trying to knock the crap out of someone.
good, one less opportunity for Artest to (seriously) injure a spurs player
I didn't see it, but from I've derived from reports of the incident, it sounds like the Kings got jobbed big time. You'd think the L would at least consider that Manu had busted his lip earlier. Oh well, go Spurs! And in the playoffs you take any break you can and run with it.
"NBA not putting up with any bull ."
That Ron is even allowed to sign an NBA contract is putting up with his bull .
the guy is lucky to be back in the league and maybe the NBA wanted to remind him of that. I guess it's a good way for the league to send a message without changing the outcome of a series.
It is really hard to believe an upgrade from a simple foul call to a flagrant 2. I could see a flagrant 1- but not a 2. I have to believe it is GREATLY influenced by who it is.
Artest did it out of revenge and anger that his teams ass was being handed to it by the spurs.
POP wouldnt call out artest and chide him directly on the court about the dirty if it want going on or excessive
seems spur fans would rather face the kings at full strength
I do to but what he did was wrong so he has to pay
let's just hope ron ron does not hurt any of our players..
I agree with the general consensus.
It should have been upgraded to a F1 and he should have been given a fine. No suspension.
After Artest went to the bench to have his lip looked at, he had that crazy look in his eye...I swear...when he was walking back onto the court, as if he was ready to throw a few himself. He's a twin away from being in a scrotum.
I agree in that the suspension may be excessive. However if you factor in his forearm shiver to the head of Duncan that drew a personal foul and how he spent the entire game trying to get revenge on anyone for that "pop in the chops" given by Manu, I feel the league did the right thing.
Furthermore, his reputation as a crazy mofo doesn't help either. Dude got what he deserved.
The league is clearly trying to send a message to players to knock off the extra cirricular activities.
