[Bulldog_12]

It seems Ron Artest wont be playing in Game 2 against the Spurs. I really cant stand this guy.

Artest Suspended (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playoffs2006/news/story?id=2419799)

[Cameron Crazy]

He is an idiot

[Keith7]

That stinks.. I wish he woulda knocked out Ginobili.. I hate that guy.. Can u say Over-rated?

[District303aPastPlayer]

[luvhoops34]

Is anyone surprised by this????? Artest is a jerk, and the league isn't going to cut him ANY slack. Personally, I wish they would just expell him altogether.

Artest isn't going to get any sympathy from the Spurs players or coaches. I saw Pop yelling at him and yelling at the refs because artest elbowed Tim Duncan.

The Spurs players are class acts, especially Ginobili. If you don't like Ginobili, it's only because he doesn't play for your team.

GO SPURS GO

:D

Ban the bum. Boot him. Can him. Jail him.

It's not an issue of liking him or not. It has nothing to do with the Spurts either. I think it's the fact that he elbowed a player and caused him to have to get 3 stitches at the BEGINNING OF THE GAME!!!

[injuredinmelee]

I didnt think Artest elbowed Duncan. I think he went after the ball way more physical than Duncan did. I am def not an Artest fan and will never be aSpurs fan but they need to grow a pair and quit whining. Be physical and man up. That is the problem I always had with David Robinson he was a wuss.

He also has provided much good services and work to the San Antonio community. He was voted MVP and has an NBA championship ring. Oh and by the way he served our country for 4 years in the military.

Artest grabbed a rebound gets suspended.
Manu throws an elbow and gives Artest 3 stitches and nothing happens...

so what you are saying is that its a double standard?

No. Just saying they're gonna watch him a lot closer than, say, someone who didn't run into the stands and incite a riot. Remember...this is his first playoff action since that incident happened, and the Playoffs are intense enough as it is. They're probably gonna err on the side of caution with him. Not saying it's right or wrong....just that it is what it is.

[Phil C]

Can they really suspend him during the playoffs though? People pay good money to go to these games and if a great players isn't playing because of that they may get mad.

The NBA is not going to put up with any crap from Ron Artest. If it even remotely looks like he did something, he's suspended. It's his own fault. Also, the refs are not going to give him anything either. ie; Ginobili accidently elbowing Artest. Mark my words, Ron Artest's days in the NBA are numbered.

Ha, that man you call a wuss could whip your butt ANY DAY OF THE WEEK, too!! Before you name call, better look up the definition of the word, because David Robinson is certainly not a wuss. Let me guess, you are a Lakers fan?????? :hand: :thinking: :p

Artest has no one but himself to blame for this. Manu has a spotless reputation, Artest is a proven thug. He'll self destruct......he can't hang with the likes of the Spurs. I rest my case!! :D

:hand: Gonna have to do a little better than than my man. They were soft at one point years ago but you don't win 3 titles in 7 years by staying that way. You do it by knowing how to finish teams off at crunch time.

People are just jealous and that's cool.......like Duncan said of Artest's mouthings before Game 1....take it to the court and let's play ball!!

They have a bunch of foreigners on their team though, so it makes them world champs.

If it is the Spurs they are the World Champions. Look at all the Countries that are represented by their players. Any other team then they are NBA champions. SHOW SOME COMPASSION!!

As a Sacto fan I hate this because it kills our chances to win a game or two. He has to understand that the league is not going to take his crap and he cant do that. I will say this for him, the kings are in the playoffs because of him. He has made them tougher, and much better defensively. He competes night in and night out, he justs needs to cut his crap out. By the way if the Spurs shoot like that they will repeat this year in my opinion.
