Pacers 97, Pistons 82
Big Win Marred by Ugly Brawl
————————————————————————————————————————
END RESULT
On the cusp of their biggest victory of the season, the Pacers may have suffered a major loss. In the closing seconds of a solid 97-82 victory over the rival Pistons, a brawl broke out that spread into the stands and likely will lead to suspensions for All-Star forward Ron Artest and others on both teams.
Pistons center Ben Wallace, upset that Artest fouled him from behind on a dunk attempt in the final minute, walked up to the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, shoved him in the face, then stalked him to the sidelines. The Pacers closed ranks around the retreating Artest, who appeared to be willing to ride out the incident lying on the scorer’s table. But when fans got involved, dousing Artest with beverages and hitting him in the chest with a full cup, he bolted into the stands and engaged several fans before he could be restrained.
The scene devolved from there as fans and players, including Jermaine O’Neal and Stephen Jackson, became entangled as the Pacers were showered with cups, bottles, food and even a chair. The game was called before time expired and the building was cleared.

makes me so angry :x Stupid fans thing they’re better than the players, and that they can just throw stuff at the players, they got what was coming to them. I don’t get why Artest got a cup thrown at him, it wasn’t that big of a fight until then. All the fans involved should be banned from any sporting event ever. |

Wow, suspensions. Ron Artest- Rest of the Year(72 Games, longest suspension ever). Stephen Jackson-30 Games, Jermain O’Neal-25 Games, Ben Wallace-6 Games, John Anderson-5 Games. Will Artest even be able to be a productive player in this league ever again? Do the Pacers have a shot at making the playoffs? How will this affect NBA ticket sales? Fred Jones looks like a pretty good player who can take Jackson’s spot, I just picked him up in Fantasy Basketball since I had Artest on my team. But wow, not a good weekend for the NBA. |

There was absolutely no one in the right in this situation. the players shouldn’t have thrown things, that other guy should have been ont he court, there should have been no jumping into the stands, and certainly no sucker punching. I wonder when these damned athletes will realize that they get paid ludicrous amounts of money to play childrens games, and that they should probably stfu. jerks. |

Stephen Jackson should have gotten a longer suspension then Artest, he was scary. Artest was provoked at least. Jackson just ran into the stands and started sucker-punching any fan near him. I wonder who caused the 9 injuries :think: |

the players should have more disaplin than that. this brawl will mar the face of all sports and people that get all excited about it are just fanning the fire. now there will be more security required which will transfer to higher prices for the tickets. |

Well, I know this is old news, but I found one more animated gif of this fight. Forgive the incredibly crude humour in the gif, and I tried searching for the appropriate thread for this, but I couldn’t find it. Anyway, enjoy:

Hehe, sorry, if it’s too offensive, I don’t mind it being taken down. It won’t hurt my feelings either way. I just remember someone (more than likely, it was Hector, I think) looking for animated gifs of the fight, and since I found one, I thought I’d share.
😊 Hope you guys have a nice day (this is a board forum I hardly ever visit, LOL) |
