sorry, but no breaks with Ron Artest. He wasn't caught up in the moment. He knew exactly what he was doing. Harden was preparing for the inbounds pass. Players are always bunched up at the basket in a moment like that. Dont try to defend what he did.

Kevin Love doesn't have the past that Ron Artest does. You can't just treat it like some other NBA player. We are talking about a guy who does this stuff time and time again.

Ron Artest does not belong in the playoffs.

By your logic, KG, Love (hint, his suspension was long overdue by your criteria) shouldn't be in the playoffs either. Also define time and time again, when was his last flare up?

Artest should be banned from the nba for that shit. He could have killed harden if he hits him a few inches higher. That's a disgrace. Especially with his past, it's time for him to be banned

Wow that video made me cringe. Given his history I wouldn't be surprised if the punishment is unusually harsh.

Except he didn't and Harden was cleared to come back in after halftime.

He wasn't hurt. Can't ban someone when the guy he decked was good to come back in in the same game.

BTW. LAKERS BABY!!!! JORDAN HILL DEVIN EBANKS STEVE BLAKE PAU GASOL AND KOBE MOTHERFUCKING BRYANT!!! YOU GUYS WERE GODS OF THE BASKETBALL COURT TODAY.

Yea, me neither. I mean Westbrook shot 3-22, and Harden was out with a head injury.

That's what you came out of the game with? What I saw was the Lakers starters stinking up the place until some players who had barely played got them back in the game. Nevermind that a Laker sucker punched their 3rd best offensive player out of the game.
