There definitely were a few fans who deserve to be punished as well. There's plenty of blame to go around to everyone.Originally posted by: Modeps
I cant believe none of you are putting any accountability on the fans... some guy threw a chair, others threw beers, one guy came on the court and threatened artest... I'm sure there will be suspensions, but I hope they press charges on those chumps that felt they needed to be a part of the game.
As the crowd roared, drinks and debris showered the court and the Pacers players covered their heads as they hustled through the runway leading to the locker room.
A man in a Pistons jersey approached Artest on the court with fists raised, shouting at him. Artest punched him in the face, knocking the man to the floor before leaving the court. Artest was pulled away, and the fan charged back. O?Neal stepped in and punched the man.

This clip does.
Funny thing is, O'Neal rushed in and clocked the wrong guy!

No, he raised his fist after Artest cold cocked him.

Shove him off the kid, sure. But pounding him in the face from behind?Originally posted by: TuxDave
But some of the fan's involvement was expected. If you see a big nba player laying the smack down on a wimpy looking kid, and you're feeling all gutsy, of course you'll leap in and try to shove him off.

That's the thing. Artest was already pulled off the guy and away from the situation when he starts getting hit in the face from behind, by the guy who started the whole thing in the first place.Originally posted by: TuxDave

Well... if your first shove didn't work and the guy is still pounding away, you gotta do what you gotta do to save the little man.

Ok, a bit of gossip....
A relative of mine owns a company that deals with the company that owns the pacers... deals with the pacers a lot.
And Artest has been called to the carpet quite often over the last few weeks flown into meetings with the NBA with threats of dropping him.
