How long for running over unprovoked and clotheslining another player? 1 game? 3 games? Rest of the playoffs?

1 game. Anything more, and I'd be shocked.

It's borderline between a fine and a one-gamer for anyone but Artest. With his history there's no telling what they might do.

1 game.
What a ****ing idiot. Earn your suspension. Take someone out on a drive. Take down Dirk.

Physically assaulting a player in a way that has no context with the game and you guys think it will only be 1 game? Also, how can you call that borderline? What does he have to do to make it a clear suspension worthy offense? Stab him? Shoot him? Punch his mother in the face?
NM, got you mixed up with SB.
My bad. Apologies offered.

Every time I see it, it looks worse than it did before. He went out of his way to do that, just to be a ****ing dewsh. It could be 2 games, but I still feel like it will just be a 1 gamer.
Also IF is a Mavs fan.

If you watched it live, it wasn't as violent as the picture makes it seem. Anyone else I think it's innocuous enough to only be one game, but it's Ron Artest. He might be gone for many.
He absolutely should be suspended, but I wouldn't be surprised one bit if he just gets fined, especially since the NBA Golden Boys are on the ropes down 0-2.
It should be one game and a big fine.
It wasn't a basketball play by anybody's imagination.
And he has mixed it up several times with other guys. Sit him down.

If you watch the replay, look at Ron Ron's face when he gets tossed. Blank slate.
He knew what he was doing. Trash.

It's a big deal because it is "Mr. Go Into the Stands" himself. Artest can't skate with a fine on this one. I think he's getting 2 games.
1 game
Phil Jackson just said when asked about a possible suspension, "I think there is a really good chance. I just saw a replay of it in the coaches office and it was uncalled for. I hope not."
I say one game for hitting Barea in the face, then another for hitting Odom in the nads.... that area should only be treated in the gentlest of ways
There is one angle, that shows him line it up and then launch himself into it. Will be one game, but could be 2.
what the **** was he trying to do? i wasn't watching the game. was this a foul ASAP situation, or was he looking for an excuse to leave the court early?
27 seconds left, double digit lead...game was over, he's a piece of garbage
He was trying to do exactly what he did-- rough up Barrea who really put it to the Lakers in the second half.
I'll say it gets two game suspension.

where's simplebay? I'd really love to hear his comments on the matter
Anyway you look at it, it is just a stupid move. Except for the arm being out, it looks like he's setting a pick on Odom who definitely came out on the worst end of the deal.
1 game is my guess; he'll be in jail or broke within 2 years out of the league
quote:That's the best part of the whole thing !!!
then another for hitting Odom in the nads
What an idiot.
He'll get one game. Even Phil admits it.
I want Artest on the court because he sucks dick.
You could tell he was coming in to slam him. Heck, Odum was the reason it wasn't a worse hit since he sorta blocked Artest.
1 game minimum, with Artest's history might be more.

I love for good measure, he knees Odom in the balls!
Artest, given his history, should be suspended for the remainder of the season.
So in all likelihood, that means he will be suspended for 1 quarter and required to release another rap album.

Can the mavs refuse his suspension? I honestly would rather him play than let Barnes or Brown start and possibly play well.
I thought that 2 years ago Rondo would be suspended for the Hinrich foul and the Brad Miller face grab, but nothing happened.
It makes me less sure that Artest will be suspended.
A few people thought that as well:

The thing to remember is that this happened well after the game was decided. If Artest does that in the third quarter of a close game, you could argue that it was simply an accident while he was attempting to set a pick. However, this came with the game all but over, with 25 seconds left on the clock and the Mavs up by 11. It was much more likely to be perceived as an act of frustration/malice due to the fact that there was no reason for him to be there.
