..and Ron Artest and Jermaine O' Neal will get what they deserve. Artest, a stack of lawsuits and a ticket out of the NBA. O' Neal, lawsuits, and probably a few dropped endorsements.
I applaud Detroit for finally forcing the loose cannon that is Ron Artest out of the NBA for good. It's a shame these "men" couldn't keep their composure.
Thanks for the vid. I already saw it but now I can download it for keepsake. I don't think that they will get what they deserve. At least Artest will get some time off like he wanted.

Not to sound like a homer, but most of the blame lies with Ron Artest. With 45 seconds to go and the game already decided, he cheap-shoted Ben Wallace, then slinked away like the cowardly punk he is. Ben overreacted, the refs should have got both of them off the court, and the idiot who threw the cup should be hung by his balls, but NOTHING justifies going into the stands and attacking fans. Someone could have been killed.
I saw that. I told my girlfriend that it's the end times. Before you know it, I'm going to turn to golf, and people will be wailing away on one another with clubs, or NASCAR will be intentionally wrecking every car in sight.
dont f*ck with Detroit! actually its quite juvenille how we acted at that game. I mean wtf is wrong with us. That just makes the rest of America hate us even more
That's not the point. If I have to explain the point, then Cinemaddiction is definitely right, and it is the end of times
Since when does America hate Detroit? Did you not hear/read/see what happened when Jimmy Kimmel said that if the Pistons won the championship last year, they would riot worse than LA? The media had a field day with his comment...not to mention fans from all sports. Everyone was defending Detroit, how it's an awesome city, and awesome for sports. Being that you are from Detroit or just a Detroit fan, you had to have heard/read/seen that...

I see both sides. Detroit fans are known for being the "roughest" fans in the NBA but at the same time, people like them for being real fans of the game. This is compared to LA where many of the fans are just bandwagon fans and don't stick with their team through the bad.

Artest actually surprised me with his behaviour before he was pelted from the stands. I thought he would retaliate to the Wallace shove and was expecting a brawl with those two. The fans involved need to have there season tickets revoked, everyone wants to stand up for their respective teams but thats just taking it too far. Artest was showing real restraint up till that point, but no matter the provocation you cant just go and slug a fan (if you can call them that). Being a professional sports person means sometimes you have to put up with abuse from opposing supporters, soccer players get hit all the time with projectiles from the crowd. Artest should have known that with his reputation he will be made an example of and that cant be good for his team. After all the Pacers are the ones that pay his wages and he has a responsibility to them. Jackson and O'Neal however they perceived their intentions (only they know) have only hurt their team, the Pacers are shorthanded as it is. The "fans" involved should be reprimanded severely to send a message to other morons who think its ok to throw shit at the players. We all know the players will be dealt with.
