What a flopper Manu is
sheesh
Why was he suspended? Um, because this is the guy who was suspended for the ENTIRE SEASON last year. Any flagrant contact is going to be clamped down on, as it should be. If he gets in much more trouble, he could be booted out of the league.

And past aggressions leading to physical violence don't? Thanks for proving my point.
Any spurs fans remember this elbow:
How many spurs fans felt sorry for Karl Malone after that? And how is that cheap shot any different then this one other then the fact that manu wasn't knocked unconscious.
Bottom line is if you're out there trying to hurt people you don't belong on the court.
Yeah, that's funny. You look at that clip and there is no doubt he purposely did it. And then turn his head and throw up his hands like "who me"?
He had probably been waiting for a chance to get a good shot in on Manu since the first play. He found the chance and took it. And got caught. Now he can pay the price.
Now that I have seen the elbow, my verdict is : GUILTY!
That is clearly an intentional elbow to the head.
One of the guys on that site sayed
"Freakin argentinian DRAMA QUEEN. Acting like he got hit by a baseball bat" lol
Does anybody remember what, if any, fines Karl Malone received for this vicious elbow?Any spurs fans remember this elbow:

The guy is around 250 right? He's built like a brick wall and I doubt he has small forearms. Manu was going forward and Artest's forearm was moving towards Manu... I doubt that was an actual Manu flop.
Kingsfan.com is going crazy. They're like "I didn't see him do anything wrong, what did he do?" Of course if I was a Kings fan I would have turned the game off by that time too.
My opinion, Ginobili's elbow was incidental contact, Ron just got the worse of it. Ron's was intentional and meant at the least to send a message. Ron was going after peoples head for a good part of the game and I already knew that he was gonna try something crazy come game 2 but I guess we'll have to wait for that in game 3 with Bavetta and Palmer holding the whistles. So to me though extreme the suspension was what was needed.
Considering that I'm pretty sure Manu wasn't expecting that one at all...I'm not sure how much time he had to manufacture a decent flop. And Artest's arm does look like a baseball bat ... I was within 10 feet of it and I saw it.
You Spursies are such Homers...You see everything through Silver & Black lenses...Even Coach Pop knows that this suspension is ridiculous, Artest gets s ches & “HE” gets a suspension? HOW FAIR IS THAT?

You're thanking him? I'm the one that made that
Sounds like someone's pissin' his undies looking at round two!!
My first reaction was the suspension seemed a little excessive, but it looks like by the rules he should've been ejected on the spot. In that case since ejecting him from a blowout loss wouldn't have been much of a punishment, throwing him out of the next game seems like a fair punishment.
I think there are two additional factors that played a bit part in this. First, Artest looked to be retaliating against Manu for the unintentional elbow he caught on the first play of the game, and that makes the act seem premeditated not something that just happened in the heat of the moment.
Second, the fact that Artest seemed to be "sending a message" the entire second half, since the game was out of reach. You can't have guys deciding that once the scoreboard is against them it's time to go headhunting and see if you can intimidate (or injure) some opposing players. If Artest wants to send a message, good for him, David Stern is perfectly capable of sending a message as well.
You can totally see Artest eyeballing Manu as he came around Miller. Even though Manu didn't intentionally bust him in the mouth at the start of the game, you had to figure Artest would retaliate somehow. A lot of players wouldn't, but Artest is unfortunately that kind of guy.
*edit* oops wrong person

Sorry.I posted it here 12 hours ago (the gif), but it was taken downdammit that's my vid cap, take it off right now, cause we are not supposed to link that stuff here
Seriously Ailene Voisin is an awesome writer...she gets down on her own team & has even wrote, “stop playing like queens”...
I think he should have been fined to be honest, but the NBA has made it very very crystal clear to Ron Artest that they will not put up with even the lightest crap. He knows this, so why was he intentionally trying to elbow people? If he knows the NBA is stricter on him, he shouldn't put himself into situations that would warrant that. It's his fault, unfortunately the Kings have to deal with it.
Who's ailene voisin and why did you post a pic of howard stern?You Spursies are such Homers...You see everything through Silver & Black lenses...Even Coach Pop knows that this suspension is ridiculous, Artest gets s ches & “HE” gets a suspension? HOW FAIR IS THAT?

by the way senorspur, malone got a one game suspension for hitting David.
Ron got hit with an unintentional elbow, Ron then went after Manu this is retalitation and revenge. How fair is that? Ive seen people get worse injuries unintentionally but doesnt mean suspension will follow. The point is he did it on purpse and the NBA did what they had to. Cant blame the Spurs for the NBA's action. Besides have you seen the Kings site they are looking through purple and gold as well.You Spursies are such Homers...You see everything through Silver & Black lenses...Even Coach Pop knows that this suspension is ridiculous, Artest gets s ches & “HE” gets a suspension? HOW FAIR IS THAT?
