Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson need to be suspended for double digit games. NOW I know why San Antonio didn't want Jackson, with his idotic thug mentality. He was provoking Detroit to throw with him right before the melee started. Dumbass.
Ben Wallace should be suspended for at least 5 games. He reacted stupidly to a foul that wasn't even flagrant.
What saddens me is that this is such a knock on the NBA. Rules are going to change that are going to affect the REAL fans and level-headed players on every other team who don't go beserk when they are provoked. Sure, long gone are the days of Larry Bird, Magic and MJ, but for these fools to go and ATTACK the fans is, as Bill Walton put it: "A disgrace." Show some class, walk away, and in the end you are the better man and these "fans" are in jail.
