Artest layed down on the announcer table to encourage Ben, put on the announcers headset with Ben after him, went INTO THE STANDS after the WRONG guy, punched numerous people in the face, including a towel boy, and you don't think he should be suspended? Remember, the pacers ran into the crowd first, not the pistons. Stephen Jackson and Ron Artest should be fined and suspsended just like Big Ben (who overreacted, hardcore). As far as forfeiting games, please. Larry Brown, two weeks off hip surgery, was running around trying to make announcements for people to stop, Rasheed of all people was trying to break it up, and even Ben was trying to stop it after Artest the crazy ran into the stands. They have no control over the thousands that were there to see the game.
At least Artest will have time to promote his rap album now. November 23rd!
