any other time i'd put this in the sports thread, but i want to say that the people of Detroit who were involved in this scene are some punk **** ****.... :evil: :!: :evil:
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- Indiana's Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson charged into the stands and fought with fans in the final minute of their game against the Detroit Pistons on Friday night, forcing an early end to the Pacers' 97-82 win.
The game was stopped with 45.9 seconds remaining when a pushing and shoving between the teams spilled into the stands after fans began throwing things at the players near the scorer's table.
``It's the ugliest thing I've seen as a coach or player,'' Pistons coach Larry Brown said.
After several minutes of players fighting with fans in the stands, the Pacers were pelted with beer, ice, and popcorn as they made their way to the locker room in one of the scariest brawls in an NBA game.
The Palace announcer said the game was being stopped and pleaded with fans not to throw things.
that's a damn shame... :evil: don't blame Artest for goin into the stands after having that beer thrown on you

I'm not a Pacer fan nor a Artest fan but I feel that the punishment was excessive. Im thinking he would get 10 games and anger management or something. Not the whole season! That does not help a person who you know needs some help.
People have to remember that minus the millions of dollars they get, the fame, and the ability to play basketball skillfully, they are still human beings.
I feel sorry for Artest.
