There is no way Artest saw Harden. Slow motion makes everything look bad.

Your a moran.

Maybe we can get back to the real Ron Artest now and get rid of this whole lame World Peace dealio he has going on.

do you really want that?

I love Artest, but this was clearly intentional. You have to feel yourself bumping into another person. He clearly bumped him first then threw it.

This is going to make for an exciting playoff match up if these two teams meet up.

Intense MOFO, yes. World peace, definately not. We do need him to have some semblance of control though.

That was a blatant elbow and I wouldn't be surprised to see Metta suspended for the first round. He deserves it after that cheap shot.

I am hoping for one but thinking 3 games at this point. What was Harden doing all over him when he was supposed to be on offense? Teams have been prodding that guy for 3 years now and he finally responded. I am still not convinced he meant to hit him in the head with his elbow as opposed to throwing that elbow to get him off of him. It does look bad though.

Artest clearly lost control and for that he should be punished. But I don't think that was really that malicious or that he was trying to hurt Harden.

A few games should suffice.

Meh.....looked clean! /wwf ref

I am going to bet Harden doesn't fuck with him anymore.

I hate how all these talking heads are talking like because this is Ron Artest, he should be punished more severely than the average player. The Malice in the Palace was nearly a decade ago. It's time to move on, he's significantly changed since then.

I think it'll be harsh just because of who he is. And it's pretty hard to make a case that he doesn't deserve it... the guy is always walking the tightrope of insanity.

That's what's scary about it... I'm not sure he was trying to be malicious. It's like he just lost his mind for a moment.

Agreed, if he was a Knick they wouldn't be saying that either.

It's one thing if you get in a fight here and there. The guy was the catalyst for possibly the worst US sports debacle in recent history. That's never going off his record. And I'm not sure it should.

I think he was just into his little alpha gig when Harden got the great idea of getting all over him and denying the moment and Artest just threw the elbow to get him off of him. I don't think he meant to hit him in the head.
