    Well if you're pumped, you celebrate with your teammates, yourself, or pump up the crowd.

    When you're provoking people, you stare at them or get in their face and say things directly to them.

    It was in that really physical Miami game, not sure if it was the one where Perkins kicked Wade in the face, or the one after. I remember thinking to myself during the game that Harden was going to get dropped one of these days, but I don't remember the specifics.

    As soon as the 'fight' got broken up they went over. Not sure why you're arguing this. They clearly went to his aid while he was on the floor...........

    Continually re-editing my posts with you by my side actually proved to be the source of great merriment for me. I must try it again. Soon. And I'll need to use personal insults to get your attention.

    Why do I have to break this down, game to game and minute to minute? If you don't get it, you're not going to.

    The one video speaks volumes. Harden ran his mouth, and provoked Kobe and Artest. The next time they played, he got dropped.

    I never said you had to break it down game by game. But, you can't give me one simple example of a specific time that he was talking shit in a game where he provoked it.

    Someone took a picture of Mags after he ate all those mushrooms I see.

    IMO, it's pretty clear Artest elbowed Harden in the head and there's no room in basketball for that kind of violent play. At least he didn't go in the stands and elbow some fan in the head.

    He gave you the example, complete with video, but you required that authority restate his opinion in a link, which they did not. What do you think of his video?

    By the logic of some, if a person cuts into your lane, he/she should expect to have his/her head blown off for such provocative behavior.

    If something provocative was said, "World Peace" can respond in kind, say shut up, or be peaceful and walk away.
    Every replay I've seen shows him cocking his arm and flinging it back. I don't know what was in anyone's head but this does not look like accidental contact.

    So, umm, is the nut job going to get suspended or what? Do Artest and Bynum have to actually kill somebody before the league takes out the Laker trash?

    Does anyone else find it a little odd that it's taking so long for the suspension announcment?

    I think they're letting things cool down so that can give Artest a slap on the wrist.

    The punishment was announced, Artest has to cancel his appearance on Conan's show tonight.

    BTW, did you see Paul Allen's tweet about there will be no uniform or color changes this year?

    It's the Laker rule. Stern can't have the Lakers miss a key player for the entire playoffs.

    Stern has no backbone.
