I agree, the cup never should have been thrown, but artest was egging it on. Is it just me or does trouble follow artest wherever he goes???? And then to bust into the stands throwing punches, followed by steven jackson throwing punches. It only escalated everything. Like the fans are gonna stand there and take that crap. No one was right, but the pacers never should have gone into the stands. Jackson should get the biggest punishment followed by artest. Then wallace for the push that got everything going, although artest didn't need to make a hard foul late in a decided game.
"Like the fans are gonna stand there and take that crap."
Anyone ever call you a moron? Please add me to the list
Why should the players have to stand there and take that crap? Mark my words, one day one of these "fans" is going to throw something at a player and end up seriously injuring or killing them. It's inevitable, the way things are gonig.
If the Detroit security had bothered to do their jobs, this wouldn't have gotten out of hand. And even after all this, there were still fans walking right on the court and harassing the Pacers!
