With his history I have no problem if he didn't play a game the rest of the season.

Usually I side with the players but that was classless and completely uncalled for. Guys a baby and should get the max pentely possible.

Sucks for you Ron artest

a. it happened to him earlier in the game

b. it would be battery, not assault

At least for the rest of the season including playoffs.

So if that would have been a taller player, then this would be a nonissue since the elbow would have landed on the arm of that player?

His intent was not to elbow some short dude behind the ear. He said himself after the game that he had just dunked on Durant and Ibaka, so I'm sure he thought it was one of those two that had bumped him. Which would explain why he squared off so quickly on Ibaka. He thought Ibaka was coming at him after getting elbowed

I'm guessing that if it were a taller player, the elbow would have been thrown higher.

Not the point. We see clearly that he deliberately threw an elbow that hit a guy's ear and gave him a concussion.

Well, he fricked up.

10 games, brother.

you actually bought that chickenshit excuse he gave after the game?

If they suspended him for the rest of season and entire playoffs i would have no problem with that considering his history.

What happened after the elbow? Did someone on the Thunder knock him the frick out?

not at all. That was about as dirty as it gets. And very dangerous. a blow to the back of the head like that can cause serious damage.

Just a hypothetical, what if Harden had some broken bones, fricked up ear issues, and was out for the rest of the year?

Should Artest still only get a couple of games?

He shouldn't get any games. Harden needs to harden the frick up.
