    We all saw the elbow, some people say he was tryign to shove him off or wasn't going for his head, but the facts remain he connected to the head and it was severe. One game away from playoffs for the lakers and metta is a crucial piece. How long do you think the NBA will suspend him?

    I voted playoffs, only because his suspension will likely make him miss at least part of the 1st round. Probably 5-10 games. I'd be shocked at anything over 20, though it was a nasty shot.

    This is a 5 game suspension for anybody NOT named Ron Artest. For him it should be like 20 games.

    He won't be suspended for the entire playoffs. I guarantee you that.

    5 games. I think D-wade and Lebron said it should be a 5 game suspension too. I dont think it should be more than that just because playoffs are coming up and playoffs are more important than a regular season game.

    What he did and severity of his actions will warrant a much longer suspension especially when you consider his history.

    20 games minimum.

    I say we let Kendrick Perkins elbow Metta in the head as hard as he can. Then, we suspend Metta for as long as his concussion symptoms last.

    Slow motion it looks intentional but normal speed looks like he was just celebrating. Suspended for being stupid. Not like the fisher elbow where you can clearly see him waiting to elbow. Then again maybe the lakers wanted him to take out harden. 5-10 games. Prolly closer to 10.

    I think 4-6. I mean if Love can stomp on Scola's face and only get a 3 game suspension, then Artest shouldn't miss more than 6.

    He should be suspended for 7 games more than the number of games James Harden misses with injury.

    He should not play again this year. This should be more severe punishment for repeated offenders like Ron.

    Given Artest's history I'm really surprised more people don't think he'll get a harsher punishment than someone not named Ron Artest (or whatever). I'd be shocked if he wasn't suspended the rest of the year including the playoffs...hell, he might get a lifetime ban...odds are Stern won't go that far, but it wouldn't surprise me.
