Artest.. Good news.. Bad news..

The good news, he was named defensive player of the year today.

The bad news, he was suspended for leaving the bench during a confrontation.

I find this EXTREMELY homo. I watched the game, and saw Artest leave the bench. However, he quickly caught himself 4 steps on the floor, and then ran back to his bench. He was nowhere near the comotion, and shouldn't be suspended next game. Shit's gay, and I don't even like the team. What do you think?

I Wasn't Watchin The Pacers :mad: But Sounds Like HE Shouldnt Have Got Suspended, Although I Dont Completely Understand The Situation. But The DFence Shit Was Gay, It shoulda been Ben.

Ben shoulda got it.

But yeah, the suspension is crazy...I mean wtf? I'm a pistons fan, so I want to see the pacers lose, but this is bullshit, he took like 3 steps onto the court and went back, and they suspend him?

^ I'm a Laker fan, and want to see either the Pistons or Pacers in the finals, so I was pissed when they pulled this bitch move. He really did only take a few steps on the court and then retreated. He was NO WHERE NEAR the altercation on the other end of the court. The announcers were even giving him props for controlling himself and returning to the bench to avoid suspension.

Poor guy, just because of his past problems they are always watching him and making him a victim.

i saw it... i hate the pacers but this is bullshit... i almost expected him to run out and scrap then throw up a QB sign, but he didnt... if anything they should have sent a congrats letter and everything thing to him for being so much more in control.... gaylords... oh well... GO CLIPPERS!!!!!!!

was a horrible decision - they could have rewarded him for showing the restraint that he clearly lacked last year. instead, to be politically correct, they draw parallels to a similar situation with Patrick Ewing a few years back. gay times infinity; he`s one of my favourite non-sixers, too. . :rolleyes:

I love Artest...plays with passion

i`m going to be in the NBA one day. Probably a bench player but fuck that. When i am i`ll donate a few bucks to RB so ya`ll can have prize tournies. el oh el..

^i'll ball u up...no lie

but anyway...Pacers are my squad..and this bullshit decision
pisses me off. Just like the heat/knicks fight when a bunch of
the guys who barely stepped on the court were suspended..
this can be huge for the Celtics in game 2...Paul Pierce will
probably go crazy on the court...but the Pacers will still make
the Finals and win..

i still think the pistons and the timbos or spurs will be in the finals... fucka pacer and fucka reggie"i got ugly muthafuckin teeth"miller

artests is a good player if he does not get into confrentataions...he needs to calm down
