I think Wallace should get about five games for going after Artest's face/head, and then:
-refusing to calm down,
-refusing to leave the court in a timely manner (if ejected at that time)
-escalating the incident by throwing a towel at a idle Artest.
Artest should only get suspended for going into the stands and putting his hands on a defenseless person. I say about 5 games. Hitting that guy on the floor should go unpunished, we dont have audio or tape on what led up to the guy and his friend coming onto the floor towards Artest.
I know Jackson will get suspended, but I dont think he should I have heard that he didnt go into the stands as a peacemaker, instead as a brawler. At this point though, Artest was already yoked up by another fan and surrounded by more. Jackson went to help his teamate as far I am concerned. I play basketball, I would do the same thing for a teamate.
(On the floor, Jackson did the same as Lindsey Hunter accept with less body language. He also didn't push as many guys as Rasheed did.)
Oneal should probably get about 5 games for charging at that guy who didnt appear to pose a threat at the time.
