Detroit vs. Pacers

[Pistons18]

Let me just say that not all Detroit fans are like the ones that got into the fight and were on the court. I don't believe it was right what happened in any way, but you got to seperate the good fans from the bad ones. What really started it was Ron Artest fouling Ben Wallace hard with the game almost over and the Pacers had the win in hand. So lets hope no idiots and pro basketball players ever have this happen again. BTW if you don't know what I'm talking about go to ESPN.com or google.

yes I've been following it closely on ESPN for the last like 20 miuntes, but I still don't see the whole thing front to back which is what I want to see, from what I've seen it got crazy as hell out there!

Damn I was talking about going to the game with my friends

[thetieger]

wow I just saw a LOT on it they've been going over it for a long ass time now, it's rediculous, IMO Ben wallace started this all, it wasn't a hard foul at all their was no reason to hit him, but their is plenty of blame to spread around to allm, inclduing the fans, they really spread the flames, they shouldn't have thrown shit at players, it's like they can throw shit at them but the players can't defend themselves...the whole thing is just rediculous, I've been a NBA fan all my life...I'm still in shock.

I know...I was shock...I mean they literally win the game already...just let the dude dunk that shit...but then wallace push back already...that was enough...those fans that throws stuff at PRO all the time...this is what happen...you can't point finger to anyone just no one is justified...

[thetieger]

BS, This is mostly Detroits fault, ben wallace and the fans, they started it and they fanned the flames, ron artest went and tried to relax and stay out of a fight and put a radio on and talked to some people, then that dumbass fan thinking he was tough shit threw some at him, yeh he thought he was tough shit till artest came up there and whooped his ass.

I think the pacers only defended themselves for the most part( well in the beginning) but all players involved deserve heavy fines/suspensions indefinitely.

Yeah, it's rediculous how much respect fans have. It isn't pro wrestling where they actually ask you to boo people, or occasionally throw drinks/ confetti at wrestlers. Whenever I use to watch basketball all the time I even thought it was kind of disrespectfuly to even have that shit waving while somebody was free throwing shootin. That was reasonable though, but still...Let the best freakin team win! Not the team with the least distracting fans.
It's just amazing in general how some people act...Parents fighting about there childs sports game while most of the kids get along with eachother who are playing! I think lots of people just need to grow up such as that guy..

I'm not blaming Ron Artest for going on the scorers table, but did you see how the fans were gettting on him. Since he was on that table for a while fans started to get pissed at him. Then the "cool guy" threw a beer at him and did you guys notice Artest didn't attack the guy who threw the cup at him. Anyway Detroit fans aren't like how they were seen to be becuase of some idiots. When the Pistons won the championship and the city celebrated after not one person was injured. Maybe Ron Artest should have givin out his CD before the game to fans and none of this would have happened. Remember the CD come out Nov. 23 check your local stores.

[thetieger]

LOL "Check your local stores" lmao, yeh I heard bout him not attacking the right guy, I didn't see it for myself yet arg, this is all very sad, and hopefully we can move past it too. although you gotta admit it certainly was something to see, bball almost never gets out of control.

I don't think Wallace should get punished badly. He did shove but that did not start the brawl. The brawl started when Artest went into the stands and attacked a fan. Then the situation escalated with O'Neal and another Pacer's player jumping in. Wallace was trying to break the fight up.

However I do laugh out loud everytime I see that fan rush Artest. There's a classic 'OH SHIT' moment when he realizes how stupid charging Artest was right before he gets clocked in the face and goes down.
