    Metta World Peace gets 7 game suspension

    http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/s...-7-games-elbow

    Seems like the right punishment. Opinions?

    Originally I felt it was a horrible act that deserved severe punishment but after a few days I believe Artest probably did elbow Harden intentionally but didn't intend for him to fall out like he did. 7 games I feel is right.

    he intentionally meant to elbow harden, there shud be no argument against that
    MWP not intending the resulting injury shud recieve no sympathy at all
    he did it, it was done, and got punished according to his actions

    Anyone who thinks the suspension isn't long enough doesn't understand the concept of precedence. If anything based on previous league decisions it's longer than expected.

    Yes. They should have a cage ringside and let the monkeys beat each other to death.

    7 games is a joke. Giving a guy a concussion is serious. Harden is a key player and this lunatic could possibly ruin things for OKC. Absolutely idiotic, you don't mess with someone's life like that. He should've gotten 50 games minimum. This isn't football

    7 game is perfect imo. NBA needs to make a statement because if these big black guys in the league start doing hits like this, someone will get a serious concussion before you know it. They want to make it more than clear this type of b/s does not belong in the NBA
