LOL at those thinking missing 6 playoff games, which could possibly be 2 games in the semis, isn't a hefty penalty. Even 1 missed game in the semis could make a big difference. The regular time for a bow is like 2 games.
man, poor artest...was just trying to give him a mean elbow, but not to his head...should be a 3 game playoff suspension
good, my prediction exactly.. theyll struggle without him but fortunately for them its the first round so theyll survive
so much lakers hate on this board, and i don't even know why, last time lakers and rockets had a heated playoff battle was years ago
what does this have to dwith the GOAT? This is about ron artest, a former rocket who has tried to turn things around. He took a cheap shot, i don't buy that he was trying to go for the head or a concussion, but he deserves to be punished, but 3 playoff games is fine.
That's interesting. He'll miss the last game of the regular season and knowing the Lakers, it will likely take them 6 games to finish off the Nuggets.
Lessened it for Bynum because the suspension was based on an 82 game season and not a 66 game season.
I said 5-7 games. Just in time for the likely OKC series. This incident plus the recent 2OT game says this should be one of the higher rated series in the playoffs.
IF Kevin Love got 2 games for stomping on someoens face then meta does not deserve more than 3 times for his elbow.
