<< <i>Geez!!!
I'm willing to bet that alcohol was the main culprit here. Yet it remains to be legal. Elsewhere on these boards, idiots keep saying that Bonds will hurt himself with steroids. Yeah, right.
They were all jerks last night, but alcohol was the main issue.
If the U.S. needed an enema, the tube would need to be shoved right into Detroit.
Remember these Chuck Norris Facts
1. When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn't lifting himself up, he's pushing the Earth down
2. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, Chuck Norris can actually roundhouse kick you yesterday
3. There are no such things as lesbians, just women who have not yet met Chuck Norris
Kind of like when Arnold Schwarzenneger (sp)
got eggs tossed at him before a political speech.
Artest invoked a riot. HE IS the main reason there
was a riot in Detriot and should be kicked out of the league.
Thank God no one got trampelled to death.
The Terrell Owens and Ron Artests should enroll in
the Scott Rolen school of respecting the game.
Maybe Ben Wallace should enroll as well.
3 pick? Id love to see Artest and the NBA sued to the cows come home and then we can put that sport
on the shelf along with hockey!
Ill make sure I put a few rocks in the bottom of my garbage can when Artest comes around to pick it up!
Without basketball these idiots are just all McDonalds workers or garbage men!

<< <i>Geez!!!
Is that a picture of the Indiana Pacers? Looked like them yesterday.......thugs. A bunch of rich thugs attacking fans. What a disgrace in sports.
<< <i>Artest got some liquid thrown on him.

Exactly. Imagine if Arnol would have started beating the crap out of the audience when he was egged, and then afterwards said "I was fighting for my life!!" Who would have believed him? Nobody. But he did not do that. Why? He is a professional.
Megatron,
Go FXXX yourself.

Can't be any worse than than Chicago fans doing the same to one of their own after trying to catch a foul ball, that just so happened to cost your team a spot in the playoffs.
As a big Piston fan, I am ashamed at the way my fellow fans acted, and believe and will be happy to see criminal charges filed against them. The prosecuter said warrants will be filed after Thanksgiving.
Artest - 34%
Fans - 49%
Looks like there are actual fans who can vote at what they actually saw and heard.
<< <i>Ben Wallace started the riot. Fouls happen on many plays in basketball. He shoved Artest and refused to calm down. Artest stood his ground for a second, then layed on his back with his hands behnd his head. That is about as far as you can go to get out of a fight stance. Then some arse hit him in the face with a beer. I don't think I could have took that laying down. And surprise. Ben Wallace is suspended too. >>
Wallace did not start the riot. The fans did, even the poll you looked up says it. How many fights have you seen in the NBA that spilled over to the stands with fans?
For a split second, everything between the two had calmed down, then the cup hit Artest. Once he stepped in the stands, that's when the riot started.
Fox sports has a story on it, that the suspensions will have already been decided. Why post a link, it will be on the news tommorrow.
But as far as Fox has it, it goes
Artest - 30 games
Jackson & O'neal - 20 games
Wallace - 5 games
If it's true, then even the league and their investigations show that Wallace didn't start it. Although, he sure as hell didn't act to prevent it.
<< <i>Alright, one fan was out of control but Artest is an idiot.
-KHayse >>
One fan? Someone needs to go back to Pre-K to learn to count.
4000000 displaced Iraqi refugees * 655000 Iraqi deaths *
4047 dead servicemen * 27104 wounded servicemen *
Billions of dollars wasted ....

screw you jonesy, you're more squirley than your icon. One drunk ding-dong means we're all idiots eh?
We as fans are not part of the game, this homefield advantage, 6th man mentality, get in your face mentality, hate the other team view only contributes to what happened. As a fan as long as you defend your team, your college by saying winning is the most important thing to the exclusion of all else then you and me bear the burden of where the NBA and other team sports has gone. I remember someone in hear saying that nobody cares about graduation rates, criminal confictions and the such (are you listening Joe), then to say they should be treated like criminals is the height of hypocrisy. Quit watching the games, quit buying the sneakers for you kids, demand more from the folks in charge or quit blaming the product, we created it. Lose the in your face mentality that some of you so dearingly call smack. Quit idolizing the end zone antics, the chest thumpers, etc. They are giving you want you idolize and when they cross over the line you want to totally blame them. Time to take a look inside and examine what is really important, if not just "shut-up."
<< <i>screw you jonesy, you're more squirley than your icon. One drunk ding-dong means we're all idiots eh? >>
All the ones involved in the fight were.
Green, however, told reporters he didn’t throw the cup.
“I wish the whole thing didn’t happen,” he said. “I’m sure the NBA players that got involved in it wish it never happened, the fans never wished that it had happened. I know I don’t. It was awful, it was ugly.”
Pistons chief executive Tom Wilson said Green is a season-ticket holder and will be banned from The Palace.
According to WDIV-TV in Detroit, Green has a long criminal record, including two DUI convictions, assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder and carrying a concealed weapon. The station also reported Green escaped from prison in 1989.

Now Again!! Who's the Thug Here????
<< <i>we can put that sport on the shelf along with hockey! >>
Yes, a city so well deserving of a Stanley Cup Champion!!
Regardless, I wonder if the same chain of events would have occured in Indy, Sacremento, Phoenix, Miami, Dallas etc. Get the picture?
BTW some congratulations are due Detroit, Camden N.J. passed them as the most dangerous city in the U.S., Detroit is only 2nd now.
>Get the picture?
Yes, I'm sure the same thing would have happened anywhere else once an opposing player went into the stands
throwing punches.
-Khayse
They do not play in Detroit.
Also, it is now proven that beer can insite riots.
<< <i>What ticks me off the most about the recent Piston/Pacers game was that a perfectly good beer was thrown to waste. >>
Presumably we are talking about a mass-marketed American lager. I don't believe that would qualify as anything near "perfectly good".
What the heck does that mean?
Last I checked no one handed a national championship to the "deserving" city. It goes to the best, baby. The best!
Loser.
-KHayse
lol
pacers have been without Jermaine O'neal,Sjax,Ron for a good while now and are still 10-6..yes that means they are near the top of the east! where are the pistons again?
Thank you.
WOW, 2 of them. What an outrage. Detroit is clearly a mess if they have 2 former Cons holding season tickets out of the like 20,000 seats.
LOL, like that's not common at a basketball game? Hell, the Pacers have more than that on their 12 man roster.
BTW Skippy, didn't they just dump like 5 in a row?
Stupid, the fan that threw the drink was out of control. The fans that smacked Artest when he came into the stands
swinging at people and knocking people over were justified. Ditto for the ones that poured beer on Artest as he left.
You attack fans at an away game and that's what you get.
Alright I'll give you two, the guy that threw the chair was an idiot too.
-KHayse
ps I assume Oneal was given 2 because he attacked people in the stands and attacked the fan on the court.
As for the pacers losing 5 in a row...Indeed they have. But all games they where in minus the sacramento game. Take away ANY teams top 3 players and no way they would be faring any better. If the heat lost shaq,wade,eddie jones...would they win many games? what if the mavs lost Dirk,Finley,Dampier? or the suns lost nash,marion,amare? ON TOP of that add the injuries that we have dealt with. Would any team really be afloat? We are hanging in there. 1 month to go. Hopefully we get these suspensions reduced.

<< <i>LOL, like that's not common at a basketball game? Hell, the Pacers have more than that on their 12 man roster. >>
The Pacers have no one on their roster with prison time.
Well it was intended to be more a statement of sarcasm, but should be a statement of fact considering their actions in the arena.
BTW, can you please verify where you have established the facts for this statement
damn...
oh well...we gotta hang in there thats all!
Yup, saw that and it is pretty pathetic. It's confusing how you can go from kicking the Mavericks a$$ one night to getting your own kicked by the lowly Hawks the next game. Inconsistent. Detroit undeniably had a strong defensive squad last year and that's basically what won games for them. It hasn't played as strongly this year. Their offense is pretty bad on many nights and when it's really bad, they cannot afford to give up more than 70...
