    I am not sure how intentional or inadvertent it is, but one this is for sure, you don't spin around flailing your arms around after a foul and think no one is going to not get hit so he should be slapped with a one game suspension regardless.

    rofl what lin is grabbing his back so artest definitely knows he's there, so definitely intentional. dummy has a fine coming.

    but i still love artest. the dude is a mental trainwreck and he knows it, and at least hes funny lol

    This is how you take Lin out of the game.. When Lin gets punk'd like this/ his confidence level drops and he'll just be passive and pass... I'd expect him to take this opportunity and attack the basket but he didn't... Or maybe he's in a shooting slump or the coaching staff, I don't know???

    I think its somewhere in between accidental and intentional. He wasn't trying to hurt Lin, but he wanted to "create space" for himself and if Lin got in the way, well too bad.

    I think it was intentional. He didn't like the way he was fouled and just lashed out. Then he regretted it right away because he knew he messed up.

    For a 50/100 second MWP thought it was Harden.

    This Artest elbow on Lin looks accidental. Dwight's sneaky elbow on Asik wasn't.

    Anyone else I'd give him the benefit of the doubt but since it's Artest, I know it was intentional.

    I think it was in between -- striking out in frustration without thinking and then immediately regretting it.

    I don't know... Either way I am more pissed that no one stuck up for lin... Get in his face and stick up for your teammates. Idc how "crazy" he is.

    Lol I just remembered he did this to Harden. He's crazy, he cant help it sometimes. Which is why he is the only Laker I like.
