I have to ask it: Pacers fans are you pissed with Ron Artest for his flagrant foul against RIP Hamilton? That is essentially what gave Detroit the victory.
I am pissed that e rushed every shot he threw up. THat one three he threw up at the end of the game was horrible. HE had players around him with a better shot to make it. He rushed everythin all night, he tried to drive to much when the ball should of been going to Oneal. But the foul was cheap, If I was Rip I would of popped right back up and started swinging.
I'm a big Pacers fan and a big Rasheed Wallace fan, so I was in a win-win situation.. If I was Larry Bird I would look at getting rid of Artest because he is selfish, arrogant and a dumbass.. I'd get rid of him and get something better for him.. You can praise him on how he changed but to me he is still a punk and the Pacers should get rid of him..

I think they could get a good offer for him.
Well i just have to say that Artest was not trying to get bullied by Rip. But some things you just have to let go. It was stupid selfish and an uncalled for reaction by Artest.

One bad series doesn't define a player, a whole season does.

Artest and O'Neal are both the heart of the team. And yeeah, it was stupid that ron commited that flagrant, but that's his game, and we will be back next year! believe mE!!!
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Well i just have to say that Artest was not trying to get bullied by Rip.</div> Maybe I'm reading that wrong, but there's almost no chance of Rip bullying anyone, let alone Artest. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">One bad series doesn't define a player, a whole season does.</div> That's true Trip, but this isn't the first time Artest has done stuff like this. He may have been better this season, on a whole, he's far from off the hook for stuff like this. People drop into the Celtics forum calling Ricky Davis a morale problem and should be moved(not necessarily you) when Davis did absolutely nothing wrong this season. The past sticks around to haunt you, even when it seems you've grown up a little. In Artests case, if he keeps doing stuff like this, he's never going to shed that label of being an on-the-verge of out-of-control, troublemaker.
[quote name='hagrid']Maybe I'm reading that wrong, but there's almost no chance of Rip bullying anyone, let alone Artest. Hagrid, Hagrid, Hagrid. i was not saying that Rip was bullying him, i just thought artest didnt want anyone to think Rip was bullying him including rip. So he had to lay down the law and tell rip to check hisself b4 he wrecked hisself. btw you are a really good poster i give you your props. and i understand what you were saying in that other thread about me and all. And i respect your opinions. much love boy. and i agree with your thought on artest. i feel sorry for the man. i Think he might need some counceling or help from his wife

Looks like whether it was my advice or not, you're on your way though, because that last post showed a nice level of maturity. :thumbsup:
