I don't excuse what the players did, but I would have done the same thing. Artest was lying down on the scorer's table not fighting, and he gets hit with a beer. Stupid. After he gets out of the ground, two guys run on the court and fronted him. Stupid. Sportscenter kept showing the clips of Jermaine O'Neal punching one of those two fans, and then the cop threatening to pepper spray Artest. Wrong people copper. Players are supposed to be on the court, not fans trying to fight. Mininum 2 week jail time for any fan throwing anything, 4 weeks for any of them stupid enough to do it right infront of a camera.
