Artest Could Be Suspended for 50 Games..Viscious Elbow to Head

[beerman2619]

Can't believe Artest in post game interview said it was a accidental elbow . The guy is truely a buckin head case just saying that Stern should tack on 5 more games to his suspension.

[jjgold]

I doubt he plays again this year

The fierce force is what is going to do him in

He had intent to kill

[Boscoe]

Bovada had o/u at 7.5 game suspension. Like the over.

[k13]

What a pussy sport. Unfukkinreal.

This gets you 5 in the fukkin box. Man the fukk up. Yes he is Artest's size. 6'9" 260lbs. STFU

There's nothing to see here.

Lame hit like Torres gets you 25 games. Pussy Sport. Man up and keep your head up.

[BernardMadoff]

The sneaky Harden shouldnt have been where he was to begin with, trust me theres a good percentage he was trying to nudge Artest a little bit. I like Harden and I like that he is sneaky and likes to get under your skin, but this time he came out on the bad end of it.

[SpreadSniper]

loved how he was trying to explain it away to the ref.... "Aww, cmon ref... I was just pullin out some King-Kong in this bitch and his big fukkin melon got in the way!"

[tony_come]

Lakers and bounty system

[Sam Odom]

100% he will be suspended

60% suspension will last into playoffs

[BernardMadoff]

Yea for a second he forgot its 2012 and instant replay is readily available.

[jjgold]

Okl City had no shot vs lakers of Artest plays in playoffs vs them

[Sunde91]

not the first time harden tried to pull this shit of running into/impeding a players established position, then the flop

[acl123]

[showtiime]

Sundae enough already, literally dying here.

[antifoil]

i think he should be suspended a min of 10 games then 2 times the number of games harden misses.

so if harden misses 5 games. artest is suspended 20.

[jason326]

he fuk up my bet yesterday
i hate him

[greenhippo]

Jon Jones and Rashad Evans both entering the ring monkey style last night didn't help either

It's a fact that Ron watched the fight and thought "I can do that, just wait until someone gets in my way, I'll show them an elbow"

[jjgold]

Did you see the rage in this guy as he committed crime??

Artest looks like he is in tip top shape too

I would never fight this guy

[deadstare]

harden deserved it for being a lil puzzie the fukk outta here..

lol @ ibaka wanting some.. artest was ready to knock his ass out son

[BernardMadoff]

So Artest getting punished more cuz Harden was hurt, many players have thrown elbows the past few days.

[jaeguyoon]

it sucks for the lakers because MWP was playing his best basketball last couple games this season.

[Big Bear]

When I first saw this I was like damn thats messed up.


But really it's not that big of a deal. I say 3-7 game suspension but DEFINITELY NOT suspended for entire playoffs. I don't think Artest meant to knock him down like that. It just looked bad b/c Harden fell down so fast. Not saying I agree with Artest for doing this but I've seen worse.

This is no different than a baseball player throwing a 100mph fastball at someones head. Or a football player making a cheap shot tackle.

business as usual. basketball is a rough game.

[Big Bear]

And JJ Gold stop being such a drama queen.

intend to kill? no one's gonna die from that blow. basketball's an emotional sport, when you're emotions are hyped, especially after a dunk, something like an elbow to your opponents head isn't out of the ordinary. i'm not defending artest just sayin...

[Grits n' Gravy]

Artest took an elbow from Ibaka earlier in game that drew blood.

You're not defending Artest? Pretty sure you are.

[Tree Rollins]

Kevin Love steps on someones face, and gets 2 games, and some of you are calling for 10 or 20 for Ron? What a joke.

3-4 games is plenty. NBA will give more b/c of the pressure. Anything more then 5 is ridiculous.

[William Walters]

Zero game suspension
Did nothing wrong
Harden got into MWP's personal space
Harden is a pesky gnat......got swatted
Harden has skills, but is a bitch
Go Lakers!

[konck]

Name change update
was Metta World Peace
now is
Getta Piece Ofmyelbowbitch

[BigDeem5]

He could have given Harden brain damage. 25 games

[pepero428]

I've watched harden, not saying he deserved the hit but guy has a knack for drawing fouls. One time as a player was sticking his arms out, harden clamped his arms with his arm pit and the opposing player was called for holding harden

You take past history into acct dik this crack pipe is a loser

[thebestthereis]

Just a flesh wound

[bleek88]

50 games?

[Ghenghis Kahn]

i'm just replying to jj's intend to kill statement. artest didn't even look at harden and it was all arm. you can't kill someone without putting your whole body into your elbow and you gotta at least look at your target when you swing. "intend to kill"? lol... no. artest gets 4 or 5 games max.

i dont have intent to kill if i shoot you in the face and look away right?
