maybe the pacers will now release artest so the knicks can pick him up...
The only thing Artest should be released from is the mental ward. Did anyone see his 5 minute rambling interview last week about wanting time off to promote his album. Scary!
Should Artest really go into the stands from a thrown cup? However, it's hard to say he should have been calm right then directly after the melee with Ben Wallace.
What about the legal side of things with the players. It's possible there will be criminal charges against some of the players, not just suspensions.
However, those fans deserve a beat down. The fan that came onto the court sure got his just desserts from O'Neil.

seriously i always wondered when artest became this crazy. I watched him in St.Johns and even the first few years of his career in the nba, he was the most quiet player i have seen. I don't know, did he let his talent go to his head?
O, and this definitely takes the crown from jeff van gundy handing on to Zo's leg

I remember when he played for LaSalle. He never had a problem losing his cool at all

Artest should have kept a cooler head. (yeah, I know it's asking A LOT from him).
The NBA better suspend their asses for a long time

Totally agreeed..
David Stern is doing this (suspensions) to pretend that the NBA is taking measures and doesnt tolerate sh$t likethat.. When fans will forget about the story (not soon), nab life will resume.. This is SO NOT FAIR for the pacers who pretty much losing their 3 best players..
I cant see them go far with Austin Croshere and injured Reggie Miller..
