Pacers Co-Owner Herb Simon’s Statement
"While we do not condone some of the actions of the players involved, we do consider the action taken Sunday by the National Basketball Association to be unprecedented and inappropriate based on the cir stances. We believe that there was a rush to judgment and not enough opportunity for all sides to be heard. We will vigorously support our players in any available appeal process in order to have these penalties reviewed and reduced. We owe that much to our players, our fans and our community.”

classless
rush they waited tell this afternoon
it happened on friday night
they suspeneed right away but not number of games tell today so they coudl think and not rush into how many games
Friday night, Carlisle said they'd take whatever the league gave out and deal with it.
Now they just issued a statement saying that the league rushed to judgment, the suspensions were unprecedented and unneccessary, and they will appeal, stand behind their players, and do everything they can to help their players.
So much for the moral high ground.
We believe that there was a rush to judgment
who the is this guy, John Kerry?
Rush to judgement my ass. Your nutzoid player ed up, and your gonna pay the price for not disciplining the asshole.
Your fault, now pay for it.
That was co-owner Herb Simon's statement, not Carlisle's
This falls into the Rick Carlisle school of empty stats.
AHF -- I merged your thread into this one. It was the same thing.
Rushed? He's lucky his starting five isn't in jail.
I think Marcus covered it.
Kori, thanks.
Hey Park.
If I make a thread about deciding to cook a turkey v. going to buy a pre-made meal on Thanksgiving, can you make THAT into a Kerry/Bush thread, too?
I got to thinking about Simon's statement this morning and I think, as much as anything else, it's a PR move for the franchise to save face with its fans. The fans pay good money to see a team that will be compe ive. Today, Pacers fans want hope, as much as anything else -- Simon suggests that there might be hope, because the suspensions might be shortened. It's not as if he said there should be no suspensions. I think his statement is just a "We've got your back" and "We feel your pain" message to Pacer fans.

So Ron Artest is Bush?
AHF, can you make your sig pic smaller? I get tired scrolling past it all the time. We get it, you like Manu.

Ya... What he said!
Just saw ESPN right now...and I know you guys might hate him although I think he's hilarious, he said that the guy he wanted to see get an even bigger suspension was Stephen Jackson.
He said that Artest was provoked to go into the stands, Jackson had no provocation and just went in and started throwing punches. He wants Jackson to be suspended for even longer than he did.
I was shocked, but I actually agreed with Stephen A. I'm not holding my breath for it to happen again, though.
Yeah, I thought the same thing -- I couldn't believe that I agreed with Stephen A. about something. I can't believe the willingness of the former players to blindly rationalize the unjustifiable acts of their compadres, and I've noticed that Greg Anthony at least has backed away from that position a bit. It was terrible on Friday night.
In this whole thing, I found it odd that the ultimate peacemaker in Detroit appeared to be Rasheed Wallace, while the voice of reason on television was Stephen A. Smith. The world really is a strange place anymore. . . .
Yeah, SAS pretty much made a damn good point with this.
Well, I don't care what anybody says...I still enjoyed the out of the running cold- ing J. O'Neal laid on that fat-ass crybaby.
Rasheed makes peace, Stephen A. makes sense...I think we may be looking at the end times. I'm going to go start building a bunker and stocking up on food and water. In the mean time here are some more apocolyptic predictions.
1.Kobe will have 20 assists.
2.Rasho will tear down a rim.
3.Sprewell's kids will actually starve on his meager 7 mil salary.
4.Warriors vs. Bobcats in the finals.
What a joke. In just about all the stuff that Mark Jackson has done for ESPN he's plead for sympathy for Ron Artest, saying that all of his crap in the last year has been a cry for help and now hopefully he can get some. Well, I don't feel a whole lot of sympathy for Artest but I agree that if these weren't "cries for help" they were damn strong warning signs. Pacers management needed to do something last year when he got suspended umpteen times. Sure he has a problem with authority but someone needed the guts to say, "Ron, you've got a rage problem. You're benched until you see a shrink." They didn't show the balls to do the right thing for a year now and their chickens have come home to roost.
The spurs actually having a personality....the end times indeed....
By personality, do you mean the Spurs are now getting AIDS from cheating on their wives, making fun of the race of other star players or raping teenagers?
Cause, I am not sure we have personality anymore.
Come on now. We have those Tim Duncan HEB commercials.
