I gotta be in the minority here and blame Artest. There is no excuse for an athlete to go into the stands. Sure, there was a jerk who throw a plastic cup at him as he layed down like a poseur on the scorer's table. Artest goes ballistic and rampages into the crowd...attacking the wrong guy! Fans got beer muscles and started fighting back. Then, a real brouhaha erupted. Unbelievable scene.
i totally agree. Dont see how anybody could be on the Pacers side on this one. Artest and the rest of that team are total goons... throw them outta the league. They deserved everything they got.
