Artest Has Been Suspended for Game 2!!!!
- Thread starter Purple Reign
- Start date
Wow! This just leaves me shocked and disappointed. I agree that it seems as though the league has been looking for ANYTHING in regards to Artest. Sad.
And it looked like Duncan was trying to do the Bump with Artest, but did anyone else notice that it looks like he helped knock Ginobli to the ground with his little hip-check?

Yeah, I think Ginobli running into Duncan made the whole play look worse.
Overall, I think this is ridiculous and have seen WAY worse things go on without reprecussion. Basically, if the back of his jersey didn't say Artest, I don't think he would have been suspended for this play.
I would have been alright with him being fined for it, but suspension? Come on now.

I feel ya VF, oh, and btw, if you're gonna watch hockey, might I suggest you start NEXT year, because the best team, Vancouver Canucks, arent in the playoffs right now because...ah nevermind.
As far as my feelings on that play that got Ron the suspension...FINE worthy yes...SUSPENSION worthy absolutely NOT! If I was the Ron and the Kings, I'd send Ron's doctor bill from the 3 stitches he received to the Spurs organization, along with a tape of the play that Manu elbowed Ron. Before this series started I picked the Spurs to win in 6(even though I hoped I was wrong, of course), now its down to Spurs in 5 after this. Thanks Mr Jackson. Oh, so how IS that team in Vancouver doing that you used to run?? Oh yeah...THEY ARENT THERE ANYMORE BECAUSE YOU FAILED MISERABLY IN DOING YOUR JOB!!!

Ron Artest must be the strongest man on the planet to put his arm up and send manu to the floor! No matter how many times I have watched this I just do not see enough strength in Rons movements to make for the head whip by Manu!
There is no way Ron was head hunting. I have watched the play now over 100 times and I can tell that Ron was trying to put his arm on Manu to guard him and it lands on his shoulder it rides up because of the sweat of both and gets Manu on the head and Ron pulls it back once this happens realizing what had happened. If I can pick up this small detail why can't the NBA?
This sort of garbage happens all of the time!

I wish you were right. It would be NICE if the NBA ruels for what constute a flagrant 1 and flagrant 2 were nice and clear and if the penelties were nice and clear. But unfortunatly they apear to have been written by attorneys and are there for as clear as Mud. I see a foul, I see a flagrant foul, but unsportsman like behavior (check NBA defination of F2) Can't see it.

Thanks for the clip. The elbow was intentional. No doubt aobut that. Also it showcased Ginobilli's flopping skills as well. This guy is perhaps top the all time best list.
Talking about dirty players. The Spurs seem to have a good collection of them.

an intentional hit to the shoulder with an elbow is not an intentional hit to the head!

watch the play again and see where the elbow starts! It is on his shoulder, No where near trying to go for the head, it slides up the shoulder than gets manu in the head!

Ok I took a nap during the second half. Can someone explain to me when this elbow happened, because I didn't see it in the first half.
And let me get this straight?? Artest gets suspended for one game, but Ginobli NAILS Artest in the first play of the gam and nothing. This is World Champion treatment, and a combination of it being Ron Artest.
