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.

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.

Lmao at you guys talking about the severity of the blow.. it doesn't matter how hard the hit was. It was the intent of the matter that he should get suspended for.
He deliberately nailed an elbow to the man's face. The fact that Artest has a history of doing this doesn't not help his cause either.
