Are they considering suspending Artest?

[Mr October]

i thought i overheard this, he didnt strike at anyone so it wouldnt warrant that right??

dude is hilarious, when he did the knife cut-throat gesture at kobe i was dying lol

I didn't interprit Ron-Ron's "gesture" to be a "knife cut-throat" thing at all. I simply thought Ron Ron was imitating TO KOBE what Kobe just did to him.[/b] I felt like it was Ron's way of showing Kobe the act that was just committed on him. I'm sorry, but Ron Artest is in the right for once in his life.

agreed. no suspension needed at all there

"I went over there with the intention of telling Kobe, 'You're hitting the wrong person. Don't you know you're hitting Ron Artest?" Artest said.

Priceless, your name is Ron Artest.

And if you haven't seen the Ron Artest TNT interview...don't waste any more time. He saw a kid get killed by a table leg because a basketball game got too competitive. I mean come on.

Why?  I don't think he should have even been tossed.

I don't think Kobe intentionally threw an elbow.  He was aggressively jockeying for position for rebound.  In the course of basketball play he happened to hit Artest.   I think many people are over reacting to the leagues rule on elbows.  It's not designed to stop basketball playes, it's primarily about action away from the ball.

If "throwing" elbows is explicitly outlawed, then every big man who rebounds the ball and fends off defenders should be getting tossed.  That's not what the league had in mind, imo.

Either you are a troll, your name is Kobe, or you have no idea how to legally box somebody out.
