I just saw the replay again. I don't think that Artest got a punch off at the fan because the other players held him back but while they were rushing up to grab Artest another fan starts pounding on one of the other players. Didn't see him punch back. Maybe the players are ok here. Not sure.

Don't look for very long suspensions. They just said the next time these two teams meet is on Christmas Day..

That is the NBAs biggest day of the year until playoffs. The other game that day is Miami v. Lakers.

Bet the league will make sure that Artest,and Wallace O'Neal, and any other STAR player will be there for the Christmas Day game. It's marketing, baby!!
