I'm not going to comment or focus on the suspensions. This is the Eastern Conference. With repeat performances like the ones from the Joneses and David Harrison, and more consistent play from Croshere, we'll still be in the playoff mix, even if not in the top two anymore. We'll still have the whole gang back, sans Artest, for the All-Star break. We will still make the playoffs, and you can all quote me on that.

Nice gesture by Wallace.

Don't be an idiot. I never said any of the players were right to go into the crowd. Everyone should have stayed where they were at, players on the court and fans in their seats. Thanks a lot for putting words in my mouth, though. Who the hell said I was talking to you specifically? (there's a reason I didn't quote anyone) I was making a general comment since some people are saying O'Neal should get a lighter punishment or saying that it was ok to punch the shit out of a guy because he's out on the court while defending Artest saying he "snapped" or whatever when he got hit by the cup of beer. No need to get your panties in a knot. Fair enough then, I guess I did overreact a little. You could have done without the sarcastic quote, though.

Wow...not cool

I think it was the son of the fat guy who was taking cheap shots at Fred Jones.

1: It was ten games that Maxwell got. I already referenced this a few posts up. 2: I'd like to hear your explanation on why Artest should get a longer suspension than Jackson, when Jackson instigated everything he received and Artest was provoked.

And even if he was "just helping his friend", he still had no business being on the court. So that one's on security.

His friend probably had a Twinkie hanging out of his back pocket, and it just drew him to the court. I mean really, look at the guy.

I'm trying to find info on the Vernon Maxwell incident from 95...I know he punched a Portland fan, but I can't remember if he was provoked other than shit-talking. He was suspended for 10 games, if he in fact wasn't provoked other than that, none of the suspensions other than maybe Jackson's should go beyond that.

There's no way O'Neal and Jackson should get equal suspensions. O'Neal never even left the court. He should get the shortest suspension of the three suspended Pacers.

...wow. Could I get the details on this one?

Yes, it is in Indy.

Did Tinsley get suspended, too? I just looked at the box score and he didn't play tonight.

That guy should go to jail until Artest's suspension is over. It's only fair.

If it is just Shaq I do it to, it's coincidence, I promise. The foul in the Milwaukee game could have went either way, but the Wade/Kirilenko one last night was pretty awful.

Borrow DerangedHermit's password

Man, you REALLY hate Shaq and/or the Heat, don't you? So, you're denying that it was a bad call?

I've seen you on more than one occasion say you're a Piston fan, as well, since we're going to stoop to playing the team bias card.

Artest had plenty of time to punch him before those guys got there, and didn't. That holds no water, at all.

Carmen Electra. Please tell me you're kidding.

Well you're an idiot then, because it wasn't a hard foul at all.

Artest and Jackson were the only guys that actually went into the crowd *after* fans...everyone else was trying to stop it and then were attacked.

Well sort of Sonic-related, it would have been nice to have Danny Fortson for that brawl tonight.

The foul that got called on Kirilenko at the end of regulation.
