You REALLY think he meant to hit him in the head? It's fine if they suspend him for the outcome but there is no way he meant to elbow him in the head.

Your level of cognitive dissonance and rationalization right now is staggering. Utterly staggering.

 

[obijkenobi]

It's ridiculous that they're going to let him play. You seriously don't see clean elbows hit that hard in the octagon, very often.

I hope they hold hold him out. I want the Lakers to win today, but this is a dude's career and livelihood.

yeah surprised they aren't sitting him just as a precaution.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Anyone else not interested in the game at all anymore?

 

[Alrix]

Artest also had a nasty clothesline hit on Barea in the playoffs last year too. Don't remember if that was also in the game 4 stomping like the Bynum hit, but if I remember right it was forearm to face/neck.

 

[dream]

If Harden has a headache then just keep him out of the game.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

I thought he couldn't play again today because he didn't shoot the free throws after the foul.

 

[Boombloxer]

Anyone else not interested in the game at all anymore?

I am sorta at that point.

Shit was disgraceful. Amnesty for sure, now.

Really surprised he's playing.

I really wasn't to begin with. The last few games of an NBA season always seem worthless..

I thought he couldn't play again today because he didn't shoot the free throws after the foul.

it wasn't a shooting foul. Anyone can shoot the flagrant/technicals

 

[Black Mamba]

Did anyone shoot FTs? I don't remember seeing them.

At this point, I'm just watching to see if there are updates on Harden now that he's gone back into the locker room.

 

[Nori Chan]

verbal flop lol

 

[victreeb3l]

there is no way in hell that was an accident

 

[Nori Chan]

Did anyone shoot FTs? I don't remember seeing them.

Yeah KD shot them both

 

[obijkenobi]

I am sorta at that point.

Shit was disgraceful. Amnesty for sure, now.

Real question. Can you amnesty someone who is suspended. Also, one of friends on Facebook is a Laker's fan, and posted this on my wall when I bitched out Artest



"It was an accident. Fuck you dude! Get over it!"


Just heard about Harden left out. Good.

 

[iSurvivedTheOutage]

LMAO

 

[Alrix]

Durant shot them.

 

[iamshadowlark]

Barea could have easily gone down horribly. Thank goodness he didn't. Wade swang his elbow to the body......Biggest freaking difference is artest hit harden's head.

A body shot won't really kill you, a head shot from someone as retard strong as artest however..

 

[Nori Chan]

so lakers gaf

go hornets amirite

 

[K.Jack]

Thank you for shutting him down OKC.

They would've been in deep shit if they'd let him back onto the floor.

I think so long as it's the off-season, it wouldn't matter.

 

[The Frankman]

I just saw the play, got home 5 minutes ago...

Artest has to be gone indefinitely/30+ games. This fool has priors and keeps acting like a fucktard.

Cloudy is friends with you on Facebook? Lol

 

[cacophony]

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Bynum looks like he's got dead legs.

 

[Gabyskra]

That was so insular of MWP.

 

[Canuck76]

No way in hell should Harden be doing anything after that hit.

Also what selfish move to your team. Now they're scrambling to freaking play in your absence while the other team is all fired up.

 

[Nori Chan]

jesus mwp why'd you have to go bat shit insane

you're the only person who can guard kd

 

[iamshadowlark]

Thank you for shutting him down OKC.

They would've been in deep shit if they'd let him back onto the floor.

Unfortunately I think shit is worse than originally thought.

 

[obijkenobi]

If Cloudy is a girl I went to high school with in South Texas.

 

[Black Mamba]

Durant is playing mad. You can see he came out here to destroy the Lakers for MWP's play.

I like seeing that fire in him.

 

[Cloudy]

Kobe playing waaay too passive

 

[Emwitus]

No No No.

Wade pushed someone on the body. Bynum elbowed someone on the body.

Metta elbowed someone on the side of their head full force. You can kill someone like that. Big fucking difference.

Barea could have easily gone down horribly. Thank goodness he didn't. Wade swang his elbow to the body......Biggest freaking difference is artest hit harden's head.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Unfortunately I think shit is worse than originally thought.

it HAS to be a concussion. The thing now is going to be how many lingering effects he has. That shit can really fuck you up.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Okay yeah, if Harden is exhibiting legit signs of a concussion, they have to come down hard on MWP.

 

[LuchaShaq]

That's too much. Where do you go when a real brawl breaks out and guys are throwing bombs? 2, 3 seasons?

Chill out guys. 3-10 games is enough IMO.

GTFO this was as bad/worse than if he just squared up and hit harden with a haymaker because how hard he hit him, and him trying to look away/be sneaky meant Harden had no chance to defend himself.

Fucking cowardly bullshit.

Hope he's suspended for 10+ games of next year plus all of the playoffs.

 

[Emwitus]

LOL. I can't wait for the playoffs.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I wouldn't even be mad at 10-15 games.

 

[Xplatformer]

The Lakers playing two centers (or playing to their supposed advantage) isn't going to work in the playoffs because teams are going to continue to out speed and out hustle them.

it's going to happen.


The Pau/Andrew combo can work, but it ain't going to work in the playoffs. Switching/rotations are going to become an issue on defense with two bigs.

 

[iamshadowlark]

That is probably Artest's last play in the NBA, no way stern is gonna let that shit ride.

 

[likedamaster]

WMP has been outa control for years. Off with that fools head.

 

[Ohwiseone]

Damn, Perkins is playing angry and KD is as well.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

That is probably Artest's last play in the NBA, no way stern is gonna let that shit ride.

Jeffrey will sign him to the Bobcats after the Lakers cut his ass.

 

[iSurvivedTheOutage]

No No No.

Wade pushed someone on the body. Bynum elbowed someone on the body.

Metta elbowed someone on the side of their head full force. You can kill someone like that. Big fucking difference.

Cmon bruh if Metta elbowed him full force they would have had to bring the cart out for him. Either their is some floppage on Hardens part or Artest didnt elbow him full force. Lets be honest.

Actually, it'll work better in the playoffs due the pace being slower--the only team that really worries me speed-wise is OKC.

RonRon is probably done....

this is basically his third strike.
