<div class="quote_poster">Quoting elijahser:</div><div class="quote_post">yea sure ron artest can beat up one of the strongest players in the game. wat the **** u've been smokin?</div> Artest is pretty strong too. Wallace and Artest are basically the same height, same build. Artest is listed as 6'7, 247lb while Wallace is listed as 6'9, 240lb. But Wallace is actually closer to 6'7, and 6'9 with the 'fro. If no one had gotten in between the two, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see them go at it.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting durvasa:</div><div class="quote_post">Where are all the Pacer fans on this board? Their team is going to be by far most affected by this situation, but I haven't heard much from them. There's a chance that Artest, Jackson, and O'neal could be done for the season, which would probably knock the Pacers out of the playoff picture. I wouldn't want to see that happen, but the possibility is there.</div> The league made the Pacers into a high school team.
Dang, I leave the house for one night and look what I miss! I don't think the L should kick out Artest. 5-8 game suspensions for players who were involved in the fight.
A full movie used to be here -> click here but it's not anymore. but, you can still see the WHOLE fight here --> ESPN
Can anybody else believe that they're trying to suspend J'Oneal, Artest and Jackson?? I think thats crazy. I don't think they should be punished at all b/c the fans started it. I would be embarrassed if I were the Pistons.
I think what Artest, Jackson and O'Neal did was justified. Wallace should have been the only one suspended.
I don't think anyone involved will be suspended for too long. These teams meet again in Christmas. And one thing David Stern is concerned about is tv ratings.
I am a Pacers fan, I am not really to worried, There were really so many individual people involved that you cannot really pin point who should get the longest, because each of them had their reasons. Oh yea to the guy that said Big Ben would own Artest because he's the strongest in the game..(Or something along those line)..I have some news for you bud, It would be a lot closer than you think. You see Ron-Mania doesn't seem to believe in that "fear the fro"..."BadBoy" business...
Well Todd Bertuzzi from the NHL got suspended for the remainder of the season including the playoffs when he nailed Steve Moore and broke his neck. Now just because none of the players from both sides in this game seriously injured a fan or another player doesn't mean they shouldn't get suspended for a long time. You can't forget these are atheletes with huge muscles against puney fans. They could have easily knocked someone out. Eaither way there are suspensions on both teams and it will come back to haunt them no matter how long they are. Pacers are only playing with 7 healthy players tonight against the Magic. Yea I think those fans were completely stupid for throwing objects at the players but the players are just stooping to their level by going after the fans. If your life is truely endangered then you get the hell out of there.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Windmill360?:</div><div class="quote_post">If your life is truely endangered then you get the hell out of there.</div> Not entirely true. They are family, and if your family's lives are in danger then you stay to get them out too.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting elijahser:</div><div class="quote_post">yea sure ron artest can beat up one of the strongest players in the game. wat the **** u've been smokin?</div> Not smoking anything Ron Artest can put up a great fight against Ben Wallace. Just because Wallace plays center doenst mean hes stroneger than Artest. I also see you favorite player is Ben WAllace, how typical of you to say such a comment like "ben wallace can kick artests ass! What are you smoking?" There isnt much a size difference as some one aleady stateted.

Think about it Big Ben's brother just died and he was fustraited 'cause of the loss so he got pushed in the back and wanted to start somethin...artest tried to stay out of it but when he got hit with the beer he had to "keep it real!"

So decided not to start anything?

Artest got covered with beer, so I can understand that, but what was the reason the other 2 got involved?? It looked like they just wanted a fight :/.
