whitesoxin' Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Pacers get the win. Detroit f***ing sucks. Oh, okay. My mom was watching the news and they showed a preview of the fight and said the game was postponed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 It's self-defense if a guy pulls a gun on you or tries to stab you with a knife. But pouring a beer on you or throwing a bottle? No. Punching a guy for pouring a beer on you is overkill. What if the guy really DID have a knife on him when Artest went into the stands? Should Artest have still charged the stands in self-defense. Obviously not. um... if a guy pulls a gun on you im pretty sure you wont be running after him trying to fight him with your fists.. Pouring beer on someone and throwing a bottle at them is pretty much as low as you can f***ing get.. They got what they deserved.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 So the game was postponed because of this??? Wow. They called it i believe, there is no way the pistons would have been able to come back with such little time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted November 20, 2004 Author Share Posted November 20, 2004 Did they get the win because of the score at the time the game was called, or because of Detroit fan interfernece? 97-82 Pacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyCaucasian Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 score at the time I figured as much. WAIT! Brainstorm! Next time the Bulls get a 2-0 lead, have Curry charge the stands and punch some guy in the nuts. Get the rest of the team to join in and the game will get called. We win!!

Flash Tizzle Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 I'm sorry, Artest overreacted. While the fight was going on, ESPN announcers were acting as if the fan threw a glass bottle from two feet away. Replays showed a PLASTIC CUP of beer landing on Artest from a distance of atleast 10 feet. In no way was his life threatened. Quit that "self defense" angle right now because jumping into the stands is not justifiable. The drunk fan deserves to be arrested, no doubt, but I'm changing my stance on this situation.

HuskyCaucasian Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Interesting note, I just saw on channel 7 that as the players were leaving the court fans were throing beer, soda, popcorn, ect onto them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxin' Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 I'm sorry, Artest overreacted. Anyone see replays recently broadcasted on ESPN?

Replays showed a PLASTIC CUP of beer landing on Artest from a distance of atleast 10 feet. In no way was his life threatened.

I just saw the same thing during the Kings game and the announcers blew it way out of proportion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 he did it to set him off. Exactly, and what do you think is gonna happen when you set off an NBA player in the heat of a game after just getting shoved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyCaucasian Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Yeah I agree. I just saw the same thing during the Kings game and the announcers blew it way out of proportion. Like I said earlier and was so rudely shouted down, this should NOT have happened. Artest WAY over reachted. It wasnt self defense. Artest just snapped like he normally does.

HuskyCaucasian Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 For those of you who have Comcast Sportsnet, turn it on. Very shortly they are going to show the whole thing from beginning to end. Judge for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Also, did Artest really get that many punches in? It didn't really seem like it, he was getting mobbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 I figured as much. WAIT! Brainstorm! Next time the Bulls get a 2-0 lead, have Curry charge the stands and punch some guy in the nuts. Get the rest of the team to join in and the game will get called. We win!! Didn't the Bulls blow a huge lead and lose at home recently? I say let em get up by like 5-10, if thats even possible, then start the brawl. But on the flip side of that the refs would probably award the win to the other team because the Bulls suck that badly and would probably blow it anyway.

Flash Tizzle Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 God, don't even try and rip Artest. He can't escape all criticism in this incident. The fan who started this brawl in the stands posed no immediate danger to Artest. A responsible player might have simply pointed the fan out to security, instead of going crazy.
