Guest Smues Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 And the fans are throwing all kinds of drinks at the players, that's not acceptable.
Guest Smues Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 And with 45 seconds left on the clock they had to call the game.
Cuban Linx Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 The Pistons fans are throwing stuff all over the Pacers, O'Neal, Jackson and Artest look about ready to kill someone.
Guest Smues Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 The sad part of this whole thing is the foul that started the whole thing wasn't that bad.
Guest Smues Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 The Pistons fans are throwing stuff all over the Pacers, O'Neal, Jackson and Artest look about ready to kill someone. I don't blame them. There's no excuse for the fans behavior.
Precious Roy Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 The fans STARTED that shit. Artest got NAILED in the face with a cup when he was at the scorers table. He shouldn't have charged the fan, but the fans just made it worse. Plus that was a weak foul on Wallace anyway, Big Ben started the whole thing.
Guest Smues Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 I doubt they'll show the replay of the first fan Artest went after, but it sure looked to me like Artest got a good piece of him.
Guest Smues Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 Oh wow there's a nice angel replay. Holy crap they get artest off the guy and shit broke out behind. Wow this whole thing is crazy I wish I'd recorded this.
The Electrifyer Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 Half of the Indiana roster is now going to be suspended. They're next opponents will be very lucky.
Cuban Linx Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 Jones and Arest looked to be getting hit with punches in there.
Precious Roy Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 Good, I'm glad the ESPN guys are calling it like it is. The media is going to try and villify Artest for this, like always, but this one goes on Ben Wallace first for his fucking jab at Artest's neck after a weak foul and the Detroit fan who nailed Artest. Fucking bullshit.
mike546 Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 Knicks give it all they've got, set Tim Thomas up for redemption for the sucky season hes had, and he still misses. Isiah needs to trade his ass. Very happy with the effort though, as even though we were 1-3 on the trip from hell, we looked great the 2nd half of it.
Agent_Bond34 Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 Melee coverage on ESPN NEWS I'm there. That scene was insane, yet, fun to watch.
Guest Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 Stephen Jackson is the best fighter on that team.
CBright7831 Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 I was flipping the channels and saw Artest all of the sudden dive into the crowd and go after a crowd. I was like "Holy shit!"
CBright7831 Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 Hopefully there will be some clips of this this week. And not like quick news clips, the entire damn thing.
The Electrifyer Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 I am glad I taped the whole thing. Who were those last two idiot fans who went after Artest? Did they really think they're fat bellies could take on Artest?
Guest Smues Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 I'm going to be mad when the inevitable fines/suspensions come down against Indiana player. The Detroit fans should be fucking ashamed of themselves tonight. I hope this is looked at logically and Artest doesn't get in trouble. He earns his bad rep, but he wasn't the problem tonight.
Cuban Linx Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 It's still odd to me to see Rasheed Wallace playing a peacekeeper for much of that situation, Portland-era Rasheed Wallace would have taken half the arena out himself.
bobobrazil1984 Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 ok, it's true... the fan started that shit by throwing the drink at Artest. He instigated it and should be punished. Artest dived over the crowd and chased that guy down, that was equally crazy. But man what a crazy ending, i was pretty depressed cuz of the loss but that was just wildly entertaining
CBright7831 Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 I am glad I taped the whole thing. Who were those last two idiot fans who went after Artest? Did they really think they're fat bellies could take on Artest? Anyway you can get it on your computer?
The Electrifyer Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 I hope this is looked at logically and Artest doesn't get in trouble. Doesn't get into trouble? The guy went right after 3 or 4 fans. No matter what was thrown or said to him, he will be getting in trouble for that. Same go for "Action" Jackson.

Did they really think they're fat bellies could take on Artest? Anyway you can get it on your computer? Nope, sorry, I don't have that capability. I'm sure something as big as this will be posted on the internet though.
Gert T Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 I hope this is looked at logically and Artest doesn't get in trouble. Doesn't get into trouble? The guy went right after 3 or 4 fans. No matter what was thrown or said to him, he will be getting in trouble for that. Same go for "Action" Jackson. You're right, if one of my students spits on me, I can't beat the shit of him without getting fired. Artest should get less than Jackson though. Just make Artest's suspension 20 games and then through appeal knock it down to 8 or 10 games. That way he gets the standard fare for going after fans, but the league can still say that in the future unless there is strange circumstances like this you will get 20+ games.
alfdogg Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 Vernon Maxwell only got 10 games the time he punched a fan. Charles Barkley only got one game for spitting at fans, although he did get a pretty stiff fine. 20 games is pretty absurd, I don't care who it is.
Precious Roy Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 20 games?!?!? That's insane. I'm thinking 8 for Jackson, 5 for Wallace and 3 for Artest would be fair. The fines will be insane though. On second viewing, I'm not so sure the little nerdy guy was actually the one who hit artest with the cup
Gert T Posted November 20, 2004 Report Posted November 20, 2004 I just meant use it as a scare tactic for the future. But if you think Jackson is only going to get 8 games, you're crazy.
