I disagree. He was trying to stay out of the fight. I don't see how lying on the scorers' table was in any way egging on the fans.
he was egging on the fans and other players, go sit on the bench, don't lay on the scorers table like an idiot and make yourself a big target... Artest likes to start things but never backs it up, hes a punk.
I understand your point. I'm ashamed of my fellow Pistons fans. I thought we were all on the same page when we won the title in June. Apparently, they forgot they're not on the roster. Having said that, these multi million dollar guys should have a little sense.
Unless he was talkin' smack while lying there. As I said earlier, no matter how out of bounds the fan was for tossing that brew, Artest has to have the presence of mind not to run into the stands and physically go after the guy he thought threw the thing. It could cost him his career. Worth it just to land a few punches? No way.
And seeing the ref having a bottle thrown against his head and two fans coming ONTO THE FLOOR to challenge a player from the opposing team.
It was hilarious to see that fat Pistons fan come up and get knocked right down. Do people really think they could challenge Ron "Unstable" Artest? LOL
Too bad he went after the wrong guy, the jackass with the hat deserved to have his face broken.
Then seeing all those fans throwing things NOT ONLY on Pacer players, but on security and other personnel was a disgrace.
