Seems like the right punishment. Opinions?

[konck]

BS should have been 70

[nic9212]

Only 7 Games for THAT, bull-crap!

[mynameismud]

hes very lucky he didnt get suspended for the rest of the season and playoffs given hes a multiple repeat offender.

[Mikail]

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.

[lunchbawks]

only way metta gets banned is if he kills a player, or fan

nba=joke

try that cheapshot in hockey, your relatives will be visiting you in the hospital

[byronbb]

Wow Torres got 25 for this IN A HOCKEY GAME.

[jjgold]

Lucky

[soul786]

It's cuz his name has 'peace' in it...

[darkhat]

I think it's about fair.. I don't think it should of been more for sure. If anything like 4 or 5.

[hels]

I thought it would be more. He got lucky.

[dfish]

: Man's just a bad act
At least suspend him for the postseason

[Mikail]

7 games which includes playoff games so keep that in mind.

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

[onlooker]

Should of been rest of the season, which includes playoffs.

[blackbeSSt]

i woulda been happier with 7 years. stupid monkey doesn't deserve to play.

7 games is probably the rest of the season.

[oiler]

guess thats the best suspension he could of hoped for.but what an idiot he is

[bleek88]

in my opinion three games should be enough. not 7 7 is too many. i dont care if you agree or not, 7 is too many.

[Boscoe]

had over 7.5 at bovada

The under was fixed. Fuking NBA.

Suspension was too heavy
let them play
let them fight

[InTheDrink]

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.

Good point.

This ^^^

Got love for the guy but man....wtf was that?! Thar jacked up over a fukkin dunk? When you still losing anyhow?

Guy acting like he hit a Robert Horry shot or something.

[oldscho0led]

pussy NBA..in the 90's, that's just a foul...7 is heavy

[will2survive]

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

[Sport_Fish]

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

[jjgold]

Not enough

50 and no one throws elbows again

[Smoke]

That elbow was fukkin sweet

I could watch it over and over again
