Well,anyone want to defend the Piston's fans who were in the arena tonight?

[RabidBartender]

Stephen Jackson got a good punch in on one fan. They ought to suspend Ben Wallace at least 5-10 games for instigating the whole thing.

[Texas Eagle]

How does that saying go? I went to a basketball game and a Vibe Awards broke out?

[Brett66]

What started it?

[Sloth]

I don't know why anyone watches pro sports.

[elhombrelibre]

Sounds like Arafat's funeral to me.

[madameguinot]

Crash and burn for NBA in the next five years. Wow, I'm really going out on a limb tonight.

[Cult of Personality]

Was Bill Laimbeer in the house?

[TheyConvictedOglethorpe]

Big time fist throwing. Fans, players and more. Any thoughts ?

God I miss hockey.

[Tacis]

Are not the white fans who attacked our brave professional athletes guilty of hate crimes?

[80skid]

Go Bucks.

No offense to our Detroit Freepers, I hate Detroit, always have.

[Citizen James]

Is there any video on the net?

[Dog Gone]

I guess this thread is for people who saw it instead of people who don't know what you're talking about.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Um, Red State v. Blue State?

[groanup]

College football, pro football.

College basketball, pro basketball.

THUGS

Paid for by ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, FOX and all the idiot fans that don't recognize it. The shame of America, if there is one, is the treatment of legitimate academic and sports achievers in lieu of the "talented" thugs.

At least baseball doesn't hide the fact that they take advantage of uneducated minorities AND majorities. Colleges do it every day and hide it from you and me. They should be put out of business.

[OKIEDOC]

Bunch of ignorant tattoo rapping thugs playing street ball. I gave up my season tickets to the Mavericks years ago.

[farlander]

The Detroit fans acted like buncha idiots, and ESPN is putting all the blame on 'em. It wasn't even a flagrant foul, for cryin' out loud. Those guys in the stands should ease up on the beer some. Some of them *definitely* need to be arrested for assault. Hope Detroit gets seriously fined.

[hoosier200]

The ESPN commentator agreed that the Piston fans were the real discrace in this incident. Ron Artest backed away from a fight with Wallace, but then fans launched beer and other objects and all hell broke loose.

[uncbob]

Sounds like the early days of the NBA

Hell I remember my father telling me about back in the 20s and 30s upstate PA the miners would heat up pennies on their head lamps and toss them using pliers at the opposition

[crazyhorse691]

Hockey is still the sport where the players know how to fight. Of course in water polo you can't tell if they are drowning each other while fighting or playing the game. As far as basketball goes the old saying "size matters" rings true. Most of the players are just too big and strong; one good punch and its over.
