Sorry QSA!!
Please forgive me??
I couldn't help myself........
------------------------------------------------
I just had a huge arguement with my Mom about the Pacers/Pistons fight.
Watching the coverage on the tube has led us to this impasse.
Who was to blame........
I say Ron Artest, by lying on the scorer's table he ticked off the fans......it wasn't the thing to do....maybe at home, but not on the road.....
No one is without blame here- the players and the fans should share in that area-But there was no reason for Artest to lie down on the scorer's table and act like a jerk.
Artest was already in the Doghouse with his coach- RA wanted two days off to promote his new rap album.:rolleyes:
There's no excuse for anyone's actions but if you look at the whole tape you can see where it all went wrong.
Ben Wallace gets fouled by Artest. Wallace retalitates. (Foul and fine for that one...)
The teams push to the scorer's table and Artest make a show of NOT wanting to fight. He lies down on the table, puts on the scorekeeper's headset and acts like he's relaxing.
You don't pull a stunt like that on the road you just tick people off.
The fan's take exception to this and some Bozo tosses his cup of beer at him and clocks him........
Disclaimer:
A plastic cup with liquid in it will hurt you. I know.
Any good coach will tell you that you never play to the crowd on the road.
Could have been worse......What does a zippo lighter, cell phone,
cell phone battery, Palm pilot, digital camera, C or D batteries feel
like when you get hit upside the head???
---------------------------------
Sad Day for American Sports.....
Maybe the English golfer that said we were stupid wasn't wrong after all:( :o :mad:
