How long does he get suspended for that?

Cliffnotes if you missed it:

MWP dunks and is thumping his chest.
As he turns to run up floor he bumps into James Harden and throws a HUGE elbow directly to Harden's neck/head.

Video coming when I find one

LOL @ LAL

Artest is done for the year.

Absolute thuggery. You can take the thug outta the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the thug. Even after a name change.

Can't wait for simplytard's completely unobjective response.

Watch Artest first feel Harden, bump into him, then deliver a ferocious elbow that traveled OVER HARDEN'S SHOULDER before coming DOWN and nailing him in the side of the head.

What a complete piece of **** play.

Ridiculous. I really don't understand why players choose to do things like that.

That is a sick play. So much force and above the neck. There just isn't any room for that in any sport. He needs to miss the entire playoffs at a minimum

This has to be a rest of the year suspension, especially when you consider his history.

Magic Johnson was even absolutely sick and disgusted about this, and he's a Lakers homer.

He needs a multiple game suspension for this one. As stated above, even Magic was disgusted.

I'm going to wait to offer my opinion until I hear from Simplebay on this. He's usually pretty rational when it comes to these things, so whatever he thinks is fair I'll probably go along with.

Should be more than whatever he got for fouling barea, but less than Bynum got.

Less than 5 games? I think this is worse that what Bynum did, since this was a direct blow to the head.

There will be a disastrous negative PR outcry against the NBA if it is anything less than 5 games.

But they will toss him for the year since LAL ain't winning shyt anyway.

This was much, much worse than the foul on Barea. Bynum checked Barea's torso with his forearm/elbow while Barea was driving the lane. Nasty foul.

This was an intentional strike to the head between plays. He ought to miss the rest of the year, playoffs and all

Now the only question is, will Kobe cry after Rudy Gay and Memphis knock them out in round 1?

What has been Artest's record for the season in terms of flagrants and technicals?

Give Harden credit for putting himself in position to receive the elbow and the exaggerated flop afterward. Harden runs up to him like a circus performer running up to a trained bear. Clutch play by Harden

Harden was coming back to receive the inbounds pass, he wasn't trying to get in Artest's face. Even if he was, throwing an elbow was not an appropriate response. Artest should miss at least the rest of the season.

Hopefully Harden is ok.

No you guys don't give harden enough credit. He knows how to poke the bear with a stick. If I'm coaching against the Lakers I'm having my players put themselves in a position to receive a response from Artest just like that. He can't control himself when he's emotional.

Agree 100%. Players talk trash to and bump each other all the time. No excuse for throwing an MMA haymaker

I don't even think he "meant" to do it. His brain just switches off. I'm sure in his mind he was just continuing his post dunk arm flail celebration. That there was a person in the path of his elbow probably didn't even register in his brain.

No ****. You have a better chance to get world peace ejected/suspended if you put yourself in that position. Or if you're JJBarea you just dribble the ball and let him maul your neck

Trash. Hope he is suspended for the rest of the year and playoffs without pay.

No. Just no. He bumped into Harden a half second earlier and then cocked his elbow to throw a Malone-esque strike. It was intentional as hell.
Simplebay

my opinion...he should probably be suspended 4 games.

at first i thought he caught him with the elbow accidentally. and even though he wasn't turned and facing Harden, he swung his elbow high and cocked it back. it was a reckless play more than a thug play. and as a result of recklessness, he should be suspended.
