Why is that, Jim? I thought this was all justified?
Milwaukee just ascended to the number 3 spot in the East.
Seriously, though.
This is just bad for all parties involved. Kori pointed out something at Firehouse tonight.
Didja notice 'Sheed trying to restrain the situation for the beginning part of it?
Here it is:I just looked up "Oh " in the online dictionary and there was a picture of that guy's face there.
Pistons @ Indiana - Christmas Day
Pistons @ Indiana - January 27th
Pacers @ Detroit - March 25th
It wouldn't surprise me if the NBA cancels those games.
ex, because mainstream America is what you are...you are shocked ans apalled by all this gansta and thugary.....I am a fan of a class team...I am not apalled, because I would have done the same thing, but all the Soccer moms and dads will now have another reason to hate the NBA. Almost everyone I know have zero interest in the NBA because of the nature of the sport, now it will turn off all the fringe fans as well.

heres a taste of what happened. my homeboy was usin his digital cam to get the action (yes ghetto, but what the ) I think its all on the fans. a person can only take so much and then thats it. but thats my opinion. i got more vids comin.
Jim Gray sounds like he's about to bust out crying while giving his report for ESPN News.
This is totally unbelivable. But their both at fault. I blame the fan for throwing that at artest, and artest for going after the wrong guy. I don't blame the players for fighting though. You almost have too in that situtation.
Yeah they'll alll be classics now.
Actually, what MAY be bad for the NBA is that the next Pistons/Pacers game falls on Christmas Day, when many people who don't typically watch the NBA will be tuned in. And they will be seeing replays of this incident ad nauseum.
I think if a silly fight between a fan and a player was that serious...then nobody would have given a crap about the Red Sox winning the le this year because of the fiasco with Francisco Rodriguez of the Rangers.
I guess that means the Red Sox les means alot less now huh Jim?
on the other hand we might pick up the fans that like Wrestling and NASCAR.
Artest was wrong for an unneccessary foul that late in the game up by that much, BWallace was wrong for overreacting like he did and the fans who threw things were wayyy wrong for that. I don't blame Artest for going into the stands. Its not like the Rangers-A's game when the pitcher went nutty just because people were saying . Throwing things crosses a line and at that point, the player has to defend himself. No one was right in this.
play them on a neutral court or something.
If Indiana's coach is saying he felt he was fighting for his life. You got to believe the players felt that way. And if you feel that way in somebodys elses arena, you'll be swinging at everyone who touches you also.
Anybody who says otherwise hasn't experinced and don't know what they are talking about.
Baseball is more popular than the NBA, Duff and the Red Sox WS was one of the best stories in the year.
That's...why...you...NEVER go into the stands. They pay your bills.ex, because mainstream America is what you are...you are shocked ans apalled by all this gansta and thugary.....I am a fan of a class team...I am not apalled, because I would have done the same thing, but all the Soccer moms and dads will now have another reason to hate the NBA. Almost everyone I know have zero interest in the NBA because of the nature of the sport, now it will turn off all the fringe fans as well.
Uh, there WAS no fighting until the players went into the stands.I don't blame the players for fighting though. You almost have too in that situtation.
Dude, that is so post #54.
Get some original material.
I was probably still at Firehouse during post #54.
We even talked about how many threads would be up by the time we got home.
Sequ - despite your hate for Rasho, I now got your back anytime
As a player you never go after a fan, any player that does that needs to be suspended, no excuse for that behavoir
As a fan, if you through anything at a player or go onto the court you need to be arrested and banned from any future games
the least that should happen is that Detroit should lose the right to sell alcohol at the games for the rest of the season
as for the so called ball boy, he went on the court and confronted J O'Neal, he wasnt innosent
this is black eye for the NBA, this is America people. this kinda happens in the 3rd world

The self defense argument is preposterous.
It's ing liquid.
If someone punched you, that's one thing. But beer? No sympathy.
Give me a ing break man. This is stupid..now you are pulling a double standard...you say the Spurs le if they win one...will mean alot less, even though they have nothing to do with what happened in Detroit....but the Red Sox le isn't tarnished in anyway because of what happened with the Rangers even though the Sox had nothing to do with that as well.
Duff, wait and see...I will tell you I told you so.
