Check right above your post, I said that you're right on the bottle being plastic(made to look like a regular bottle though, wow)
But that doesn't change the rest.
No, I'm not a Pacer fan. But you're obviously a Pistons fan because you refuse to put ANY responsibility on the chair throwers, beer throwers, bottle throwers, object throwers, punch throwers, etc.
I'm not a Pistons fan...I hate the Pistons..I live in Wisconsin. I hope OSU crushes Michigan tomorrow, so my Badgers have a long-shot hope at the Rose bowl.
But watch that video in post 347. You have a 22-year old kid, probably about 5-11 and 175 pounds. He has two NBA players, both 6'-7" and 230 pounds coming up into the stands to beat the crap out of him.
That would tend to cause many fans in the stands to go over the top. I'm not condoning the rowdy fans who tossed stuff and rushed the court. And for those fans that came on the court, they got what they deserved and should be fined and arrested.
But Ron Artest is a player who has a long, long history of mental instability. About two years ago, he went after a cameraman during a game, and destroyed a $100,000 Hi-Def camera the TV crew was using.

At some point, David Stern has to realize that having someone like Artest in his league is a huge problem. If it isn't apparent now, it never will be. Artest has to go.
