    We've all seen angry Artest and malicious Artest. That was not malicious Artest.

    Harden was on Artest's side / upper arm.

    Also, if Harden had put his forearm on Artest's chest, how does that even come close to hard elbow to the side of the head / neck?

    It looked like Harden was being annoying and going out of his way. The actions are not comparable though, Artest's reaction was way worse. I think he was just bringing he circumstances into context though.

    It looked like the elbow was intentional to me. He hit him and didn't stop celebrating. Damn, he didn't even turn his head to see what had just happend.

    Probably will be a suspention, but I would suspend him for the entire postseason.

    Right when Artest turns out he sticks his forearm on the left side of Artest's chest.

    Artest knew what he was doing.


    He went to square up with Ibaka because he knew what the **** he did.

    Also, it didn't even seem like Artest cared who he hit. His eyes didn't even shift to his left.

    If that would have been a Laker, oh boy.

    Man Harden is a grown ___ man. He'll be alright, but I guess they have to play up to the drama.

    Kobe should be frustrated. Ibaka has like 3 blocks on him.

    my god, no one is. You guys are blowing it out of proportion and jumping the gun. Me and a few others were just trying to put his terrible action into context. Calm down.

    The way you said "Harden was unnecessarily initiating contact" pretty much indicates that you defend it, at least a bit.

    And trying to put it into context is like saying "the boy got beat up because he looked at me strange", just not defendable.

    His last two shots were just terrible. I believe Kobe is thinking about the scoring title.

    He should forget about it. 2/12 with 5 points while Durant has 20.
