EVERYONE CAN GO HOME NOW. MAYBE JUST THE CLIPPERS CAN STAY.

Yeah, those Lakers sure show good sportsmanship.

Thats just classic Ron ARtest. you'll notice Harden trying to get in the way of Metta. Harden has been know to do this and flop for fouls. Metta doesnt take crap from nobody, enter: Ron Artest. He apologized after he wasnt expecting it to be as bad as it was.

I think OKC and San Antonio look good right now. I would like to see San Antonio at Bulls in the finals.

Well one laker at least, the rest are all just getting on Kobe's way.

I saw that coming. Its a shame, Artest has been a trouble maker anywhere he's been. His defense can be second to none but his violent streak just always seems to come through.

Cant wait for playoffs bring on the Nuggets.

Unfortunately for the Lakers, Ron Artest (because I refuse to call him World Peace) will be suspended. His direct involvement in the Pacers - Pistons brawl is gonna come back to bite him in the ass. He deserves to be suspended for his blatant assault and unprofessional conduct. :(

7 game suspension! Well, predictable is preventable..sucks for the Play-off games.

Thunder Up.

Harden was cleared by doctors and the NBA today to play. He will help lead the OKC Thunder to the finals. Kevin Durant probably won the scoring title again for the 3rd time.

Ummmm -- it looked like Harden was trying to get the in-bound pass and Artest drilled him.
I guess Artest Does take crap from David Stearn :lol: :fist:

Watch it again. Harden deliberately trys to get in Mettas way as either a 'screen' or to try and push off of for the inbound. A lot of players hold their position and try to get in the way of to slow down the transition defense on an inbound, so its not uncommon for players to walk thru and push players to get back on defense. Harden just messed with the wrong guy ant the wrong time.
Sort of like this where harden takes advantage. They get in the way.
I know Mettas blow was bad, it just seems ignorant that everyone is saying it was all MWP going after Harden. When in fact Harden provoked Mettas actions by coming in on him and MWP acted on it in a stupid Ron Artest way.

i did not want to say but he was purposely in Mettas way.

They should have let Artest go on an amnesty waiver and kept Odom.

GAME 2 tonight. Missed the game 1, got distracted by this little car show in Irwindale. Had to get my playoff basketball fix by watching the Mavs and Okc that was a good game.

2-0.....No tacos but a W is better

Tue May 15, 2012 2:14 pm

You've been "Thunder Struck"

Tue May 15, 2012 3:36 pm

we are just letting Thunder down under get their hopes up so we can CRUSH them.

Tue May 15, 2012 4:21 pm

Purple and gold? Purple and silver is where it's at!

...well, Sacramento Kings in 01-02 were where it was at.
They ain't been the same since they lost Bibby, Peja, and Vlade. :(

damn the Thunder dont mess around! There fans were crazy too. I am a HUGE Laker fan, but I dont care who wins. OKC was on fire, only 4 turnovers. I aint even mad we got blown out.
