WHOLLY CHIT ! Did you see the two dudes taht ran up to get molly whopped by artest and oneal? What the hell were they thinking running up on the court? Daaaaaaaamn.

Junkster

Ig'nant detroit fans... no wonder that city is teh shit... literally.

Junkster, who thinks this is bad for national businesses based in Detroit

Samer007

The Palace is not in Detroit. Its in Oakland county, the 3rd richest county in the country.

Junkster

The fans are considered Detroit(ians?) right?

This should bring in alot of multi national businesses into that city...

Junkster, who's only been to Detroit once

Samer007

At that section the tix are pricey so i doubt it that those fans were from the city of Detroit. Sure as a whole they're Detroit Pistons Fans.

Junkster

Saw all races in that crowd... it started due to some punk ass white boy who got pwned... rich spoiled pricks.

I hate spoiled suburb white boys... I'm not racist, but that's my stance on them.

Junkster, who hates spoiled kids in general

Junkster

BTW, espn.com has a poll up on the incident... go vote.

Junkster, who voted

DivineCL

This game was crazy! I wish I would of been in the middle of the action.
I would of knocked some punks out.
Whats funny is that there were some sloppy punches thrown.

In my opinion, everyone involved (players & fans) should get arrested
and put in the same cell. This way, these idiots can duke it out behind bars
with no stopage = Ownage.

Junkster

dang it, ron is my starting SF on my fantasy b-ball team...

that's the bad part

Junkster, who dropped Joe Smith to pick up Battier

DivineCL

13) Should the NBA consider nearby neutral sites like Toledo, Louisville or Cincinnati for future Pistons-Pacers games?


81.8% No

18.2% Yes




I can't wait to see the re-match in Christmas day.
Who voted no?

Junkster

Seriously, the fans need to be punished... even the good ones that tried to stop it. Hey, take responsibility for the general crowd. I didn't vote for Bushie, but you don't see me throwing drinks at him.

Yea, who voted no on that?!

Junkster, who hopes Indie fans will behave better

DivineCL

^ I voted no...shoot I want to see the continuation in December.

Junkster

The guys on espn were saying how funny this was...

On Xmas, there are two games, the laker-heat and the pacer-piston...

Now, the laker-heat game is playing second card to the piston pacer game.

Junkster, who thinks xmas present from the NBA is all ready for everyone

Dang I got Artest too on my league. He's gonna be sittin for a while. I see why Artest rushed that white boy. I bet the majority would probably do the same. He is probably going to get sued though so it probably wasn't worth it. But the funny thing is when you see that fan's face. He was laughing, laughing, and then OH SHIT!!!!!!. He got beat down by Artest and Jackson. Then it looked like an accident when that fat kid stepped on the court with the big dogs. I think he was just surprised because Artest just rushed him but missed badly and almost fell on his ass. But then O'Neal just caught his boy clean even though it was a sucker punch. Almost knocked down fat boy. Dude honestly, if I was there, I wouldn't have thrown shit at the players. That game had so many cameras the cops will find out who did what easy. Oh and that foul by Artest on Wallace worst case would've been a $2000 fine and Wallace a suspension. I don't even think it was a fine-worthy hit.

darrinb

first off junkdter that 3rd person shit is fuckin annoying, u sound like a jack ass

2nd.

arrtest started all this shit, there fuckin up 15, 45 seconds left, no need for a hard ass foul

3rd.
these guys are paid professionals, ne need to go into the stands, any fan in any city would of acted the same way

detroit is gonna have a max of 2 players suspended, ben for sure and maybe rasheed just because he went into the stands even though he was breaking it up

pacers prolly gonna have 4-5 players suspended though

Doom878

1 person went to the hospital, no serious injuries. Cops won't say shit except that they're going to get statements from the players.

Doom878

I think these will be suspended:
Pacers:
Artest
O'Neal
Jackson
Jones maybe but I was thinking he was trying to break it up even though he got attacked.
Pistons;
Wallace for his on-court beef.

darrinb

also remember were talking about artest, the same fuck up who wanted to take a month off during the season to promote is album

darrinb

dont forget tinsley, who brought a dustpan from the locker area onto the court

DivineCL

Junkster, who thinks xmas present from the NBA is all ready for everyone

^ Is this an A & B conversation, because if it is I'll leave you two alone.

Divine, who laughs at everytime you speak as a third party.

Junkster

1st statement: That's cool, junkdter will keep doing it... you can keep hating it

2nd: Artest foul was flagrant, but that didn't mean a fan gets to throw something at the player... the refs and the players will work things out. That spoiled suburb white boy had it coming... and then the rest of the fans by the exits get to throw things and some get to rush the floor... I don't know, maybe civility is asking too much from the fans. But, in fairness, Artest should have kept his cool.

3rd: Fans in Denver don't throw or pour beer and drinks on opponents for flagrant fouls... we boo, then make comments to the player, and cheer as our player makes the free throws. Players are well compensated, yes, but that doesn't mean that they can be treated like that... if you think entertainers should all put up with stuff like this, heck, what should stop a paparazzi from breaking into star's homes?

I'm hoping Rasheed doesn't get a suspension, he was really, REALLY trying to cool things down from the get-go. Jackson, Artest, and some need to be addressed, both by the NBA and the law, just like the fans that participated in the brawl. If a player is suspended from the NBA, why not fans?

It's gonna be interesting, since players that came off the bench during the foul are suppose to be automatically suspended for one game.

Junkster, who thinks Piston fans need to take some responsibility in this

CrockPot

i find it funny that the only people who are blaming artest are the people from michigan...hmmm. this is the biggest bunch of BS from fans i have ever seen. are all pistons fans to blame, of course not. but the fucker that threw that water bottle and the pussy bitches that throw punches at players from behind and then run away are fucking despicable. do i care about ron artest or any indiana pacer, fuck no...but the blame does not lie with the players. i would be VERY disappointed if players are suspended and if fans are not arrested/fined/or season tickets revoked.

Junkster

Naw, darrinb's cool... some people don't like the 3rd person, they have their opinion on it... it's all good.

hehe... just when you though Artest would get back to playing ball.

Junkster, who can't stop emphasizing the FIFA no-fan rule

darrinb

w/o those fans those players wouldnt be living the way they are, they are professionals and should act that way

Junkster

Thank you...

Personal responsibility... just because they're not public figures doesn't mean they don't have to be arrested/fined/sued... hey, that kid threw something at someone, that's assult.../banned from games...

FIFA has lists of fans banned from games... why not the NBA?

Junkster, who thinks trouble makers need to be permenently weeded out

Junkster

Fans support players, but not the ones that throw stuff at em...

I'm a professional... if someone came to my work, screamed at me (okay, I'll deal with that), then threw something at me... I'm game for layin down a beating...

professional or not, you shouldn't be treated like that... period.

Junkster, who thinks athletes are people too... why the double standards

DivineCL

When I said A & B, I was not talking about you and darrib but
about you and your imaginary friend. I will leave you two alone.

It's annoying, but hey it's your post.

Divine, who is going to start using this as well.

Doom878

HOnestly you can go back and forth for years. Sure it is wrong to retaliate regardless if at work or on the street. You should not ever attack anyone regardless of event. But human instinct and reaction will always factor in to your judgement.

Holy shit. I just noticed that more players might get suspended. Remember the old Heat/Knicks series when players left the bench during an on-court incident. That's automatic suspension right there. More heads might roll.

darrinb

i'm sure the nba commisioner is gonna seperate it all out and everybody will get what they deserve....

but woulda of it been sweet to see ben wallace and artest go at it, looked like wallace was gonna beat the fuck outta him

Junkster

hehe... hey, that other voice in my head said your a jerk

Hey, some peeps don't like it, but it's an internet forum...

If you want everything your way, start a forum like Soopa...

Junkster, who knows that Jonesi doesn't like this either

Doom878

I also noticed that the foul was no big deal because none of the other Pistons batted an eyelash or anything. Wallace overreacted.

Doom878 who can't shut the fuck up.

Junkster

I just remember Van Gundy being dragged around like a rag doll...

Junkster, who has to give props to a coach who would jump into the middle of it

Junkster

Would make a great UFC fight...

Junkster, who thinks Big Ben would have the physical edge... but Artest is psycho... literally

BEETROOT

beetroot, who points out that ending a racist remark with 'I'm not racist' doesn't discount the statement.

beetroot, who also thinks junkster must have been gang raped in detroit

beetroot, who thinks junkster has a hard on for ron artest

beetroot, who is a rich white kid from the suburbs.

Doom878

I think it all started up when PJ Brown flipped Charlie Ward.

Junkster

true... I'm racist, let's make that clear.

At least your not a SPOILED rich suburb kid... are you?

Junkster, who just thinks the fans did a disservice to the people of Detroit in general

edit: Artest is on my fantasy b-ball team on the Acurazine league... I need his points

Junkster

Man, those Knick Heat games were hella funny... those were some tough dudes.

Wasn't it because of those games that the NBA instituted the rule stating that players on the bench must stay on the bench?

Junkster, who remembers watching highlights of that fight

BEETROOT

lol...

agreed on the disservice. although it was only maybe 20 people.

and no, of course I'm not spoiled

Junkster

okay, then... you rich suburb cracker

20 peeps, 200 peeps... bad apples need to be weeded.

Junkster, who contributes some of it to mob mentality as well

darrinb

c'mon, no need for such a hard foul, 45 seconds left and they were up 15

i think some of u are forgetting what type of fuck up artest is, i think if it was anyone else that the fans would of reacted differently, artest just has no respect across the whole league

usually when theres a scuffle on the court the fans dont get involved but artest is just the type of person that would be attacked
