The crowds might be in it, but the league defanged the teams after the fight. It'll probably be a subdued series.
i predict that somehow it will come down to the last game of the season if this series goes down (ala last year with Kobe making a shot to make the Rockets/Lakers series). The media will be all over it and yet, the series will suck. It would be messed up if the Pacers endded up playing the Pistons and the Pacers found a loophole to let Ron Artest play for the postseason. Now, if that goes down, then the league is completely rigged.
Right when Ben Wallace has Reggie pinned down with the enforcer move, Ron Artest rushes into the court. Fireworks are set off, music from Kid Rock is played, and Stern sitting courtside gives Ronny the thumbs up. Stephen Jackson starts convulsing to get the attention of the three referees, while Ron picks up a folded chair and slams it into Wallace. Can you smell what the NBA is cookin?
