    As if things weren't already looking bleak for the Los Angeles Lakers, there's a good chance they will have to play Game 3 of their of Western Conference semifinals series against the Dallas Mavericks without forward Ron Artest.

    With 24.4 seconds left in the Mavericks' 93-81 win over the Lakers on Tuesday, Artest reached out with his right hand and grabbed Mavericks guard Jose Juan Barea by the face and basically clotheslined him. Artest was immediately ejected after picking up his second technical foul.

    Artest was out of position and had to run through Lakers forward Lamar Odom to get to Barea, who took a minute to recover before hitting two free throws to seal the Mavericks' win and give Dallas a stunning 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.

    He wins that award for good citizenship or whatever, and then does this... Sigh.

    Maybe it will be a blessing in disguise. Ron Ron hasn't exactly produced much in the first two games.

    does anybody still believe Artest was an upgrade over Ariza?
