one fan that threw the beer, he was a moron yea... the reason the other people started throwing **** was because of how pacers came out throwing punches at whoever they saw. if artest could've kept his cool none of that would've happened, I'm not saying the fan was right to throw the beer. On the other hand artest shouldnt have fouled wallace so hard when they're up by 15 and 40 seconds to go

the pistons are the bad boys, but the pacers are the ones who are known for being little punks. i already hated artest, but that foul with 45 seconds to go was completely unnecessary. if artest was a better man, he woulda just let him make the shot, and this whole thing would've never happened.

after watching the it on sportscenter, both fans and players should be blamed for this. fans for throwing drinks, food, chairs, and other stuf. players for going into the stands.

this does change the old saying, "I went to a fight and a basketball game broke out"

i dunno, in my opinion, the players should never go into the stands, never, no matter what, so i feel more blame should be placed on the players. i'm not condoning what the fans did, but honestly, fans throw stuff in lots of games. it's gonna be interesting to see the fallout. who's ready for christmas day? :p

I just watched this on Sportscenter. I think that they fans should be held responsible. Just because fans through stuff at all these games is irrelevant. It isn't allowed at the stadiums but they don't enforce so fans get away with. I don't think that the players should have to put up with getting drenched with beer everytime they go through the tunnel. I would be ****ed as well. I don't think what they did was right either but I think it falls on the fans to not act like @$$holes.

I see, them large windows that they use in hockey, to keep the puck out of the stands, may be used in the nba. At least in Detroit it should be. Hopefully them fans didn't ruin it for others. I'm concerned that "NO FANS ALOUD" within 3-5 rows by the players.

I agree. I think Artest will get 15+ games and for the two idiots that ran onto the court and got pummeled by Artest and O'neill, they got what they deserved.

I disagree. The foul wasn't even a "hard foul" by Artest. Besides, even if it was, that's no reason for Wallace to react like that (but I probably would have called him some really obscene stuff if I was Wallace) Wallace threw his armband at Artest after he was just chillin on the scorers table. Artest didn't do anything. Who's escalating the situation?

The fan took a chance at throwin that cup of beer at Artest. He didn't think Artest would have the balls to go up into the stands. He probably did it to feel cool infront of his friends. He then sucker punched Artest TWICE in the back of the head. That moron and all these others need to be banned from the Pistons games and all other sports events at the Auburn Hills Arena for LIFE.

All the fans who got their ass beat got what they deserved. ESPECIALLY that dude that got knocked the fudge out by O'Neal on the court floor. What the heck was he doing on the court floor? All him and his buddy were doin' is asking for trouble. Too bad he got a sore FACE instead. He deserved it.

And btw why don't stadiums put some kind of nice tarp with the team logo on the entrance/exit the players go through? It protects everyone from getting drenched with coke bottles, popcorn and all the crap they threw down at them

do you know what it is like down on the court while they're playing? i've seen a lakers game before.. wow those guys talk so much **** i've never heard before.. and no that foul was highly unnecessary and i'm sure that ugly ass artest mouthed off to Wallace, and Wallace should have never pushed/shoved him.

he should have knoced his ass to the ground.

Yeah the fans acted like retards, but a professional sports player has NO BUSINESS going up into the stands to start beating people. Artest is a ****ing idiot and I hope he gets suspended till he learns some respect and not to be a punk ass ******.

As I was just watching on ESPN, the police officer summed it up best.

"... If something is thrown, whether it be a cup, bottle, or a chair, a person has the right to retailiate to that."

I just can't believe the fans, even when the Pacers were heading to the locker room. :no:

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
