Good! No class nut job taking his frustration out on the smallest guy on the court.

KG junior.

To be fair, Barea bugged the shit out of us, too. Artest's "Rick Fox, Jr." act (and Rick Fox was "Bill Laimbeer, Jr.") is just stupid, however. He deserved what he got.

If we had prevailed against Dallas, and Artest would have done the same thing to Patty Mills, if he would have been suspended or just given a Flagrant 1? Sadly, I think the latter.

That's going to really hurt LA. They're already looking pretty weak and need that toughness, especially in Dallas. I see a lot of people still think the Lakers are going to come back but I'd be shocked if they did. Dallas matches up so well with their length. It would be one thing if they'd lost the first two in Dallas (especially game 2 where you know LA was trying that much harder to win) but the fact that they couldn't win either one in the Staples center is a whole different scenario. I didn't see anything in either game that would make me think LA can win in Dallas. Although if there is a team good enough to come back like that it's the Lakers.

And while I don't condone violence, I can't stand that little Berea either. He kills us everytime we play them. When I saw Artest do that I secretly cheered and wished it had been one of our lower level bigs (i.e. Chris Johnson) that had done that. I'm surprised Artest only got a one game suspension, it was really bad
