Bynum had 10 points on 30% shooting and 8 boards in 29 minutes. He was also minus 18

Harden had 14 points on 5/7 shooting and 3 assists in 14 minutes.


I think it was a bigger loss to the Thunder than the Lakers

This game yes. But if Bynum gets in a good rhythm its over. Who stops him? Perkins?

 

[Vyer]

Where Harden was standing doesnt mean shit.

Artest went nuts and swung his elbow full force into someone's head. Considering the things that has happened when Artest goes crazy a major suspension wouldn't be surprising. May not happen but shouldn't be a shock to anyone.

Alston? A slap isn't going to send someone to a doctor.

There is no way that elbow was unintentional. That kind of wind up is never a natural motion. He intended to throw it - at the head or not is up for (slight) debate but he cocked that shit back and unloaded. Not only that, but he goes straight to nutgrab QB ALL DAY ERRRDAY when it was time to answer for it.

Model citizen now or not, his resume isn't one easily forgotten.

The part that seals it for me was Ron goes up with the elbow. Not directly to the side which is a natural motion, but up which is a totally uncomfortable way to move your elbow unless you chose to do it

 

[diehard]

Just saw that Artest play, Lakers got some quality peeps on their team.

Coach Nick answers almost every question on the live chat, pretty cool.

If it was natural it would have come back down at an angle. Instead he sends it horizontally in roundabout way.

Exactly. I don't want to say he's headhunting because the elbow would've been higher... plenty of guys throw that the shoulder and its never something that reaches a replay. Still, he meant to throw it. That is clear as day.

As far as I know, I don't have any kids. LOL. The point of the "hers" was that I'm not sure I"d introduced any of my children to the NBA for the first time with Raptors/Pistons.

Gold.

 

[reilo]

Ron Artest's elbow wasn't intentional -- it was instinct. That dumbass doesn't know any better.

The whole debate whether it was intentional or not doesn't even matter in Artest's cases because he doesn't know the difference anyhow.

 

[obijkenobi]

....I wonder if we can sucker some team into giving us a first rounder for Blair

He learned that move from Malone.

^lol

Artest will get a slap on the wrist.

Yeah, because Gordon Hayward is a saint.

 

[pilonv1]

nearly choked on my drink when I saw the Pistons/Raptors half time score

Manu is sogood in the open court

G-TIME has blessed us with his presence.

Wow.

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

34-29... in the first half! We better not win this disaster of a basketball game.

The Pistons will out tank the Raps. Believe me.

Metta: "I hope he's OK. The Thunder, they're playing for a championship this year. So I really hope he's OK, and I apologize ... "

God damn the Splitter/Manu pick and roll is so awesome.

Not sure who that is.

So Jeff has more cred than you?

:O

Jeff earned it after that nasty injury

 

[reilo]

Is he touching an official? That just might get him extra days.

 

[obijkenobi]

Gold.

To be fair to her, she got like 3 tickets for like 25 bucks. And she doesn't watch the NBA so she doesn't know about tanking and such.

Chances are if it's empty enough in the lower bowls they'll just have everyone move down to make it look better on tv.

Would you subject anyone to the game? I actually asked her if she was punishing the kids when she told me she was taking them to the game. lol

 

[diehard]

I don't know what to be more upset about, the fact that i can't find a working Kings-Bobcats stream or the fact that i'm looking for a Kings-Bobcats stream.

The kids won't know any better, so I am not sure it matters in the end until they are older and they understand the nuances of the game better.

 

[pilonv1]

Any footage of this elbow yet?

At least they got to see MC Hammer @ halftime.

Yeah, I had told her the game would be terrible but that the kids would love the spectacle. If we're still dating in February, I'm taking them to the Piston's/Spur's game though.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I totally get the Warriors tanking to get their pick back, but I'm pretty disappointed the Jazz won't get that pick. Lot of good players this year and the pick could be pretty awful next year if the Warriors are good and if next year's draft is as bad as its hyped to be and looks.

 

[transience]

Charlotte is losing by 30 at home to Sacramento. It's only the 3rd quarter.

Has to be the worst team ever, right? That 9-73 team couldn't have been this bad.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

The way Stern operates, Artest is done for the year.

This might have been his last game as a Laker.

I hope you're right. Bynum is a repeat offender as well though and got near nothing in terms of punishment

I wouldn't care if Artest is lost for the entire playoffs.

People seem to not realize that a lot of defensive rotation MISTAKES that are made by the Lakers that result in other teams dropping threes on them are due to Ron gambling.


I would rather the SF rotation be Barnes/Ebanks. I've wanted it since week one. I wanted Ron amnestied, if not Luke Walton.

Ron Ron....get some rest.

I live in Lansing which is about a hour and a half away from Auburn Hills (Piston's don't actually play in Detroit) I don't like Lansing that much, but would much rather live here than Detroit

Bynum has repeatedly tried to kill people and gotten slaps on the wrist. Artest won't get anything worth talking about.

Didn't bynum only get 10 games? then got it pro-rata'd for the shortened season?

It was a pretty disgusting deliberate act of goonery too.

Not necessarily agreeing with Brandi, but... Bynums suspension should have been a lot worse.
