Artest needs to be suspended for the length of the playoffs.

[SlyPokerDog]

So, because someone doesn't share the same opinion as you, they are stupid?

Got it. lol

But we are really nice guys!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Wow.



Wow.

Some of you are just really nice guys. (sly, don't erase, this part is important...)

Damn you! Don't edit my edits!

And try to leave the personal insults out of your posts.

That's life. If you set out to provoke someone, they will eventually react. But you're entitled to you opinion.

Btw, that is still a differentiating opinion, I'm glad that someone cooled that fools jets. You think it was dastardly.

What are you talking about? Trash talk is a part of the NBA and never warrants an elbow to the head. You don't like Harden, I get it. I don't like a lot of players, I don't wish them physical violence. It's just a fucking game *insert personal insult here.

Sometimes when someone's opinion sucks it needs to be pointed out.

Yeah, under normal circumstances, it's a regular part of the game. But like I said earlier, Ron Artest is a crazy son of a bitch. What did Harden expect a guy who changed his name to "Metta fucking World Peace" to do?

Regardless, you act like Artest broke the leg off of a table and stabbed him in the heart with it. It was just an elbow, and Harden sold it like Paul Peirce and his wheelchair.

I know that!

That's the only reason I post in your faux "Around the NBA"/"Kevin Love-fest" topic.

The hottest ticket on this board. You aren't cool unless you give that thread some love. Its okay, buddy.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Edit: Sly, get over yourself. He asked me a direct question and I answered honestly.

Again, there's nothing wrong in answering a question honestly or telling someone you disagree with their opinion. It's the personal insults that need to stop.

I'm not trying to start shit with you, just explaining why I keep editing your posts.

You say "The hottest ticket", like it actually took some thought to make that topic. lol

I didn't see Harden doing anything of note to Artest... So, what did he expect? Well, probably not to get elbowed in the head. You act like because he's crazy, it's okay.

Regardless, you act like Artest broke the leg off of a table and stabbed him in the heart with it. It was just an elbow, and Harden sold it like Paul Peirce and his wheelchair.

How about you google concussion and get back to me.

Neither one of us were on the court, so it's hard to say what Harden did or did not do. I'm just going off of the past history of both of these players. I've seen Harden talk shit, I've seen Artest lose his mind. Those two elements are combustible. No, it's not "ok". But it was expected.

How about you google concussion and get back to me.

Well, I hope Harden learned his lesson.

Give me examples of Harden talking shit. I can think of one time and it was provoked by Kobe and he was the agressor. So now he talks shit on a regular basis?

I suggest you watch more of Harden.

I have seen him mouth off during several games, it's usually against teams that are considered top tier teams, like OKC is. Miami, Dallas and Chicago off the top of my head.

Any specifics?

I think you misunderstand being pumped after a good play for mouthing off. Harden's about as classy as it gets.

 

[RoyToy]

Wow.



Wow.

Woah.

 

[julius]

All four of his teammates went over to him...

not initially.

Well if you're pumped, you celebrate with your teammates, yourself, or pump up the crowd.

When you're provoking people, you stare at them or get in their face and say things directly to them.

It was in that really physical Miami game, not sure if it was the one where Perkins kicked Wade in the face, or the one after. I remember thinking to myself during the game that Harden was going to get dropped one of these days, but I don't remember the specifics.

 

[noknobs]

not initially.

As soon as the 'fight' got broken up they went over. Not sure why you're arguing this. They clearly went to his aid while he was on the floor...........

Thats what I thought. You don't know what you're talking about.

Continually re-editing my posts with you by my side actually proved to be the source of great merriment for me. I must try it again. Soon. And I'll need to use personal insults to get your attention.

 

[XXPrimusXX]

Why do I have to break this down, game to game and minute to minute? If you don't get it, you're not going to.

The one video speaks volumes. Harden ran his mouth, and provoked Kobe and Artest. The next time they played, he got dropped.

I never said you had to break it down game by game. But, you can't give me one simple example of a specific time that he was talking shit in a game where he provoked it.

 

[Denny Crane]

Someone took a picture of Mags after he ate all those mushrooms I see.

IMO, it's pretty clear Artest elbowed Harden in the head and there's no room in basketball for that kind of violent play. At least he didn't go in the stands and elbow some fan in the head.

 

[jlprk]

He gave you the example, complete with video, but you required that authority restate his opinion in a link, which they did not. What do you think of his video?

 

[crandc]

By the logic of some, if a person cuts into your lane, he/she should expect to have his/her head blown off for such provocative behavior.

If something provocative was said, "World Peace" can respond in kind, say shut up, or be peaceful and walk away.
Every replay I've seen shows him cocking his arm and flinging it back. I don't know what was in anyone's head but this does not look like accidental contact.

 

[BBert]

So, umm, is the nut job going to get suspended or what? Do Artest and Bynum have to actually kill somebody before the league takes out the Laker trash?
