Heat boards seem to think so.
Bruce Bowen gets criticized for his tight play on jumpshooters.
Ron Artest stuck his left foot under Shaq coming up from behind while Shaq was in the air going for a rebound. Shaq came down on Ron's foot and twisted his rt. ankle badly.
Artest did not react with any surprise or concern when Shaq went down. Did Ron-Ron do it on purpose?

Aslong as that isn't Tim going down or Ben Wallace, I don't care![]()
Shaq had nothing to do with .4, wtf does that mean?
And how can he deserve an injury? GFY.
I don't think artest did it on purpose.
I for one wouldn't want shaq stepping on my foot for the risk of multiple bone fractures.
And no one deserves to be injured.
Watch the replay. Artest comes out of nowhere like Jack Ruby.
At least he did not flip off his own bench after the play.
Looked to me like Shaq didn't land on anyone.
Yeah, the TNT replay showed it in slow mo. Just like Timmy came down on Rasheed's foot, Shaq did the same on Ron's foot.
The difference was that Artest was not even in the play. Shaq had shoved David Harrison under the basket to get the rebound and as Shaq was coming down, Artest comes in from nowhere near the play and sticks his left foot across and under Shaq's landing area.
Pacers are specializing in taking out Shaq, first Jermaine, now Ron
Ah - didn't see that. Thought Shaq just came down on his toes, and it rolled. Regardless, if people are going to vehemently deny that Bowen could be doing that same thing - maybe it's best not to insinuate Artest does/did it. (Not necessarily anyone in this post).
I wonder about Bowen sometimes.
I was wondering if anyone was going to refer to this.
wtf gives a fuk bout this shaq
I'm gonna tell you all straight up - I hope Artest did do it on purpose. Shaq is an a-hole who's never taken it easy on anyone, and I also love the dirt players. Must go back to my childhood of watching "The Dirtiest Player In The Game" Ric Fliar cheat his way to 17 heavyweight championships! WHOOOOOOO!
P.S. - I hope he does the same thing to Duncan:
Ya Gonna Sew Whatcha Reap
The Surprise Factor. Ron "Jack Ruby" Artest

I think so as well, I love Bruce Bowen to death, but there are times, where you wonder if he is doing things dirty.I wonder about Bowen sometimes.
Where there is smoke there is fire.
It may not be dirty in our eyes, but in the eyes of others it is.
(Waits for Kori's wrath)
I don't think he was....as he seemed to "try" to catch Shaq from falling.
Of course Artest and Bowen do stuff that's borderline dirty, that's part of what makes them crafty good. I don't think Artest did this to Shaq on purpose though. I don't think he'd intentionally risk Shaq crushing his foot in the landing.
WTF is goin to be stupid enough to put there foot under a landing 400pound quarter pounder?
^^
Ditto that. There is no way anybody intentionally sticks their foot under Shaq.

Shaq was in the air, what, maybe 2.3 seconds when grabbing that rebound? It would be pretty difficult to move into exact position for Shaq to land on your foot, especially when you weren't even looking down to see where your foot was placed.
I think Artest is an ass ,but that would be an amazing feat (no pun intended) if he were able to do that.
