The NBA wasn't going to screw their golden Lakers. It seems about right.

If I'm laughing this much at how many people are biting on simple's trolls, he must be dying of laughter. I can't believe so many of you still bite. It's obvious that the dbag is f-ING with you guys.

Suspension seems about right, given the examples and track record of the NBA in dishing out suspensions.

suspensions are all relative. Harden/Artest was no different. Besides, Harden shouldnt have approached the panda cage. you can't blame a panda for going panda.

Shoulda thrown his ass out of the league. No point in keeping a repeat offender of his caliber around. The NBA doesn't need Artest.

Also: Breaking News, Artest Suspended 7 games. 1 reg season, 6 playoff. someone picked it correctly:

That's not bad, except I think you were looking at someone else's paper.

I think it is a 7 game suspension.

And I also go with what I wrote, the way Ebanks has been playing, it might be a blessing in disguise to have one less BSC SF to split playing time with.

Holy SH*T, is Simpleton an attention *****.

Speaking of suspensions...

Stern hates the Lakers

dammit chuck, stole another texags post of mine.

just said the NBA wanted to penalize artest for the first round.

Nice product there.

Ok, guys, I think we've rubbed Simple's nose in the dirt enough. Now that we know the length of Artest's suspension, let's make some predictions of who will win the Western Conference.

I think it'll be the Spurs.
Well, if it's not the Spurs, it'll be OKC.
On further reflection, the Lakers might win the West.
Actually, I predict it'll be either be SAS, OKC, LAL, DAL, LAC, MEM, or DEN. But, definitely not Utah. I can't wait until June to come back here and show you all how smart my prediction was.

i predict 7 game suspension

Harden is fine and cleared to play. Shocker of the century.

An idiot like you probably thinks Artest's suspension should be lifted now.

if it does, i already predicted that.

And if it's not lifted, don't worry. Simplebay predicted that, too.

Metta World Peace of the Los Angeles Lakers has been suspended one game without pay for grabbing Brandon Knight of the Detroit Pistons around the neck and striking him in the jaw, it was announced today by Stu Jackson

Kinda surprised it was just one game.
