Artest somehow stupidly does it again...waiting for 10+ game suspension
Artest just Artested Lins head in the rockets Lakers game, mma style spinning elbow to Lins face/head, side of Lins head immediately bruised and bleeding, Artest a fraction of a second after snapping and doing it realizes he made a huge mistake and tries to console Lin.
A tech called, how did they not call a flagrant than go to the tape for review? Obvious purposeful swing and blow to the head.
The league is going to crush Artest anyways though, very similar to Harden incident, even also slammed the orbital bone and the exact same snap and strike thing as Harden.
The leagues biggest moron got 7 games for the Harden one and that was very forgiving, so this will have to be 10+ and man does he ever deserve it.

Re: Artest somehow stupidly does it again...waiting for 10+ game suspension
it wasn't that bad, but it was an unnatural reaction to swing like that. 50/50, at least they called something

Re: Artest somehow stupidly does it again...waiting for 10+ game suspension
He knew he was there, but it wasn't a huge loaded elbow like last time. Maybe a fine or 1 game suspension i bet.

Bitch please, anyone who tries to do the same 'incidental contact/didn't know he was there' thing as with Harden is the true ****ing idiot, which means you.
Like ****ing hell that was incidental contact, I'm not a fan of either team and you are obviously a moronic Laker homer.

Guaranteed suspension. Artest purposely throwing his elbow into an opponent's orbital bone as a boneheaded reaction for the second time in 20 games?
-
Re: Artest somehow stupidly does it again...waiting for 10+ game suspension
LOL that was on PURPOSE he clearly spun @ a increased speed so he could connect def not a 10 games suspension maybe 1-2, but yeah there is no way he didn't know Lin was there.

Decent spinning backfist rather than a elbow

Re: Artest somehow stupidly does it again...waiting for 10+ game suspension
Arterst shouldn't be in the league after the Harden incident.
After Malice in the Palace, should have been one more incident and you are out.

He'll get games, he's an idiot. You have a duty of care, he knew Lin was in area and made a weird spinning strike. The guy is crazy.

Re: Artest somehow stupidly does it again...waiting for 10+ game suspension
Artest is gonna get nailed for this. Too many chances for him, suspend for 5-10 games imo.
Definitely suspension. This was intentional. You don't swing your arm after getting bear hugged. Can't even make the excuse that he didn't know Lin was there.
-
Re: Artest somehow stupidly does it again...waiting for 10+ game suspension
How are you gonna argue he didn't know Lin was there after Lin just intentionally fouled him?
-
Re: Artest somehow stupidly does it again...waiting for 10+ game suspension
It's a lot worse because of who is doing it. If it was anybody else in the league, it'd be seen as bad and reckless, but because it's World Peace with his history he might get a lot more flak than this. I'd give him a two game suspension, and that's in part because of his track record, but it's a lot less malicious than the Harden incident. It's not an elbow either, which is a lot more dangerous than a backhanded swipe

Re: Artest somehow stupidly does it again...waiting for 10+ game suspension
I used to find his nuttiness charming and amusing, but now it's just nauseating.
Can't stand this dude.

Re: Artest somehow stupidly does it again...waiting for 10+ game suspension
I don't like that one. Lin didn't deserve that. Hit someone your own size. I think that was intentional.

And this, the he's had way more chances than he deserves. With a history of violent reactions like this (often with little to no provocation), I wouldn't be against Stern kicking him out of the league. The dude is, legitimately, completely ****ing insane. He's a danger to other players just by being out on the court, you don't know what he might do.
And I can't believe people are actually saying this might not be intentional, come on, that's ridiculous. He knew exactly where Lin was.

Please feel free to bump this thread if that happens but I think you're crazy if you think they are suspending him for 5-10 games. 3 games max, and I'd be surprised at that.

+ Hes developing a large striking arsenal, he started with straight forward jabs and hooks @Detriot moved to muay thai elbows @OKC and now spinning back fists vs Houston the only thing left is head kicks and knees which will be coming to a NBA arena near you when the Lakers play.

what a bunch of cry babies. The guy is going full speed and is hit by another man and put off balance. He spins to regain his balance and extends his arm to help him the pursuit. Then, by pure chance he hits this guy in the face.
how about stop whining softees. This ish happens on bball courts everyday by accident.

Re: Artest somehow stupidly does it again...waiting for 10+ game suspension
If a society endorses crazy people wandering the streets then shit's gonna happen. That's on society, not the mentally ill.
Stern, big money and big markets are the culprits here.

Re: Artest somehow stupidly does it again...waiting for 10+ game suspension
If that was done by someone with no history of violent incidents there would be no punishment. It didn't look that vicious, and Lin wasn't knocked down or hurt in any big way. Because it's Artest and he has a history something may happen but if Artest had wanted to hurt him he would have done worse than that. We've seen what happens when Artest gets nasty. I don't think he should get punished this time.

Re: Artest somehow stupidly does it again...waiting for 10+ game suspension
I was honestly expecting something a little worse based on the thread title. I think the detail here that may lead to a fine or suspension will be the ability for the viewer to tell that Artest absorbing the foul and Artest spinning and swinging were likely two separate acts. The extra bit of spin just doesn't look like a natural continuation of the manner with which he was moving after being hit.
Interesting to see Artest's post-contact history as well. He seems to be very good at committing a malicious foul (though I found this one a little less severe) then either feigning an apology directly after or admitting his wrong doing on the spot. It's like a child stealing a cookie from the cookie jar then telling him mom what he just did, expecting not to be punished because he was honest and forthright about the act committed.

Re: Artest somehow stupidly does it again...waiting for 10+ game suspension
Just like the harden elbow (err. Artest elbow to harden head. Lol)
You can make a case for it being accidental but IF I WAS ON JURY DUTY,
For sure I'm saying that n.igga did it on purpose.
Real shit. It's too perfect
That's without evidence. Add that he has a history of "accidental" hits and boom. Case closed your honor.
PS; I think he changed his name to Metta World Peace so that he can troll the whole NBA. :lol
Lol. He decided he was going to "accidentally " hurt people while being this nice guy lol

Yeah, with Harden in the same game this nut, figured he still send a message. They need a reel him in. You can't give him a two suspension because he seemingly doesn't learn. He's trying to intimidate players with his flailing.
