any other time i'd put this in the sports thread, but i want to say that the people of Detroit who were involved in this scene are some punk **** ****.... :evil: :!: :evil:
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- Indiana's Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson charged into the stands and fought with fans in the final minute of their game against the Detroit Pistons on Friday night, forcing an early end to the Pacers' 97-82 win.
The game was stopped with 45.9 seconds remaining when a pushing and shoving between the teams spilled into the stands after fans began throwing things at the players near the scorer's table.
``It's the ugliest thing I've seen as a coach or player,'' Pistons coach Larry Brown said.
After several minutes of players fighting with fans in the stands, the Pacers were pelted with beer, ice, and popcorn as they made their way to the locker room in one of the scariest brawls in an NBA game.
The Palace announcer said the game was being stopped and pleaded with fans not to throw things.
that's a damn shame... :evil: don't blame Artest for goin into the stands after having that beer thrown on you
I saw this and I was just sitting there with my mouth wide open. 1st of all...Ben Wallace pushed Artest hella hard. But I commend Artest for attempting to restrain himself...but when ol' boy threw a beer at him...it was over. I think he was defending himself, and I think there should be more security in the arenas. They should also monitor the amount of alcohol these fans intake. This is absolutely crazy and I feel they were justified for their actions. It was simple self-defense. I really do hope that they find the fans who did this.
That's a good point the Pistons organization whould have some responsibility, Fans shouldn't be able to get that close, adn Artest should have been stopped by some big **** security person
So true...so true....I think that basketball will look differently now.

tru tru... Rick Carlisle said he was proud of his players and he's stayin by them...
Man I'm mad that u beat me to this I was tyrin to post this before someone else did.
I told ya'll that Ron is CRAZY
I'm from Indianapolis, we knew this for a while but, I don't blame him doin' what he did, he's real, straight outta Queensbridge
You ain't goin' just throw some beer on him and expect him to be cool about that.
But, the worst part is that he's goin to be suspended for the rest of the year.
Oh well always next year Boys
i don't think he should be suspended for the year for self-defense... he was just sittin there mindin his business, then has a beer thrown on him, Sh*t i'd go up there and fight too... but like Stephen A. Smith said, it's gonna be real interesting to see how the league handles this...
But my man Ron already got a rep
and anywayBEN WALLACE STARTED IT!!!!
:lol: yeah, and i'ma huge Pacers fan (since i was 8) and i didn't think the foul was that hard, at least it ain't look like it... and that shove started everything... :arrow:

he came out of nowhere and straight stuck that dude
