<div class="quote_poster">Quoting og15:</div><div class="quote_post">Did you see the clip, yea he shouldn't have gone into the crowd, but was Ben just angry that they were losing or was he angry because of the foul, it wasn't that hard. The Rasheed is just being an idiot and riling people up, and then while Artest is chilling on the table some idiot fan throws a beer at him, the guy deserved to get knocked. Why don't him and his friends go one on one against Artest, JO and SJax, idiots. http://media.holla-front.com/nbafight.wmv - there it is, part of it.</div> Good looking out with the clip og15.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting mrj18:</div><div class="quote_post">Because he was being a man first and foremost he will be suspended for a real long time. Possibly a season. Stern is really going to give it to him especially with his record already spotty.</div> Hey if I'm a Pacers fan I'm not mad. Did you see what happened? Completely uncalled for what the fan did. There's has to be a point where you stand up for yourself. Show some pride and dignity. Artest did nothing wrong. If anything he didnt do enough! Because I'd have torn that fool to pieces. I wish the Knicks would show that kind of toughness. Ah yes the days of Charles Oakley, Anthony Mason and the rest of those no nonsense guys. By the way those Piston fans...not nice people at all.
I didn't even see the score , score has nothing really do with it. We all know the history of artest an the type of guy he is. So we know the intent of it. So you know that's why wallace acted the way he did because he knows why artest did what he did.
Actually people, what's funny is that the white dude Artest smaacked down like a doll..he didn't even throw the beer lol. They sed it on ESPN. It was someone else. some dude with a cap
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting durvasa:</div><div class="quote_post">I thought Artest showed impressive restraint to not react after Ben Wallace wrongly went after him.</div> that wasnt restraint or an honorable act. he didnt react because he knows ben wallace would've handed his ass to him. if anything, ben is the guy he SHOULD'VE been fighting. instead he decides to go after some 5'7'' 150 lb'ish fan who threw a plastic cup at him

Ben Wallace was mad because he was losing. That wasnt a bad foul Artest gave him. Artest was provoked and he responded. The fan deserved what he got. All of those punk fans deserve what they got.

I doubt Artest is scared of Wallace. He's too unstable to be afraid of anyone. When that cup hit him that from some guy hiding somewhere in the stands...well he did what he had to do. One thing is for sure no fan will be stupid enough to throw stuff at NBA players after this. I think Artest can take Ben.
I think the major reason why Ron backed away from fighting Ben was that he knew Ben overreacted off frustration that his team was gonna lose, not because Ben wanted to dominate him physically. But, I think what I like about Artest after Ben pushed him was that he used his brain to get out of the way... he knew that if he went one-on-one with Ben he'd have little chance, no matter how crazy and strong he is, Ben was gonna KO him, so this was I think a factor too in Ron not fighting Ben. This is different than chickening out... Ron is crazy but he actually tries to think of solving matters with his head, although not often. Had Ron lost it, he'd be fighting Ben. He lost it when some kind of little duck threw a cup from a distance... and so he went off.
Well Jermaine Oneal go the best shot in the anybody with that fan on the court. Wow, it was like a hockey game.

Most of the Fans were obnoxious and out of control. they couldn't even let the security do their jobs. They call Artest crazy, but they acted no better than he did.
You guys need to get the clip of when Artest punched that fat Pistons fan and then J O'Neal came running in and sucker punched the same fan. That was the best part of the whole thing.
It sucks for the team, but it showed that the team sticks together, and will defend Ron Artest despite his antics. It's gonna be hard for the league cuz if they suspend everyone they should, they will force the pacers to forfeit some games which will make them lose money.
