<p>OH MY GOD!!!!!!! DID ANYONE SEE THAT??? We have our rivalry tomorrow but WOW>>>>> I'm from Indiana, so I'm a die-hard Pacer fan. That was quite possibly the craziest thing I have seen in sports. F*** those pistons fans though seriously. When ben wallace unnecessarily shoved ron artest, artest just laid down on the table, and then some *<strong><em>ing pistons fan threw a cup at him. You can't expect him to sit still after that considering his personality. I'm wearing my Jermaine O'Neal jersey around campus for the next couple of days (except tomorrow it's the buck the *</em></strong>eyes shirt) so if you see me around campus say hey. GO PACERS (we won by the way)</p>

<p>Read it and post there, i have left my comments.
I'm not a pacers/pistons fan but a fan of other teams (mostly west coast) but i give ron some points for backing off when ben shoved him. As for the throwing of stuff..it's like a food fight, but w/ chairs and bottles..Uncalled for</p>
<p>Oh and the shoving and pushing, i can't believe the fans even participated..</p>
<p>Yeah I know...because of them artest, jackson, and o'neal are going to get suspensions and fines. I really really don't like the pistons or anything for which they stand</p>
<p>o'neal won't get fined!</p>
<p>yeah he will he punched like 5 people</p>
<p>Ha. Ron Artest backed off becuase Big Ben would have pounded artest into the ground.</p>
<p>I can't believe Ben did that. I always had an opposite opinion of him. Then again, I haven't been watching many piston games ( i only watch when they play my favorite teams)</p>
<p>that was dissapointing alright, and umich lost to osu. Which i'm happy about, but I doubt most people here are</p>
<p>If you watched the Eastern Conference Finals, you would have seen the way Ron Artest played with the Pistons. At one time, he elbowed Hamilton in the face. I did not watch the game, but I'm sure Artest played as rough as he always does. That was a cheap foul by artest in the first place. If I was Big Ben, I would have done the same thing.</p>
<p>Yes, I know that he is one of the 'tougher' players. </p>
<p>Pacers v Pistons come Dec 25. They meet again, hopefully they will have cooled off</p>
<p>ESRJAY YOU CAN'T MAKE THAT CLAIM IF YOU DIDN'T SEE IT. THE FOUL WAS TOTALLY NON-FLAGRANT. WALLACE SHOVED HIM BECAUSE HE WAS MAD THAT THE TEAM THEY BEAT LAST YEAR WAS GOING TO COMPLETELY ROCK THEM THIS YEAR. ARTEST SHOWED AMAZING RESTRAINT BY NOT FIGHTING BACK AFTER THAT ****ER WALLACE UNECESSARILY SHOVED HIM. DETROIT SUCKS. oh yeah I will be at the game on 25 December...I can't wait</p>
<p>Nirvana, settle down. You have a bad habit of blowing things way out of proportion. No one is personally attacking you, so just chill out. Anyways, Detroit does not suck; they are defending champions.</p>
<p>I didnt see it? Who didnt see it buddy? ARTEST IS KNOWN FOR MAKING FLAGRANT FOULS. And by the way Detroit beat the Pacers and later beat the Lakers (if you didnt know). What reason do they have to be mad at the Pacers?</p>
<p>Nirvana, you say you are a student from U of M, but you do not even act like someone from high school.</p>
<p>Sorry nirvanargeatm, I like Artest, but i have to agree that he is know for those kinds of fouls. I did like how he showed restraint. Yes, settle down (there's no need for swearing and capslock) and that's awesome that you can get tickets! The 4 players are suspended indefinitely so i dont know if they will be back then. Probably though.</p>
<p>you said you didn't see the game...if you watched it, you could CLEARLY see that it was not flagrant...i think someone on espn said that they would receive at most 10 game suspensions. This was an incredibly emotional game for both teams, which resulted in members of both teams losing common sense...I don't blame artest at all (yes I am horribly biased) but wallace could have shown more restraint and class. Assuming everyone is healthy and in shape though, PACERS will be 2005 national champs</p>
<p>Ron Artest is a coward. He is was completely shook of Ben Wallace, but when a skinny fan around half his size throws beer on him, that's another story. Artest is little more than a child trapped in a man's body.</p>
<p>I WATCHED ESPN. I DID NOT SEE THE GAME BUT I DID SEE EVERYTHING. I WOULD NOT HAVE POSTED IF I DID NOT SEE IT.<br>
It was a flagrant foul. They were up by like 20 points, the game was almost over. No reason to foul. NO REASON TO FOUL HARD, which is what artest did.
Artest is one of my favorite player, but I hate his attitude.</p>
<p>you guys are all haters. I'm done with this thread</p>
<p>Wow. Looks like someone needs to take a chill pill. Or three. With some Vicodin.</p>
