I fully blame the fans for the mess. If they can't go to a game and act like normal people without hurling shit at the players, they deserve what they get. Its one thing to mock the players, but it is entirely different to throw cups and drinks on/at them.
Wallace shouldn't have started anything to begin with, the foul was nothing out of the ordinary and he over reacted extremely. Artest kept his cool until some moronic fan decided to throw his cup at him. I think it is unfair for Artest to be considered the instigator, if anyone should be considered the instigator, it should be Wallace, followed by the fans.
Had I been Artest, I probably would have gone after the guy who threw a cup at me as well; when you’re in the heat of the moment, you don’t think straight, and I believe most people would act in a similar fashion.
On a side note, the look on that fans face who was jumping up and down like an idiot all excited changed so fast when Artest came his way, priceless. And what was the fat guy thinking coming ON to the court? He got knocked flat on his ass which he deserved as well. Stay in your seat next time and there won’t be a problem.
