Message: [QUOTE="longislandcuse, post: 275488, member: 937"] I wouldve suspended him for the entire first round so 7 games is probably worse considering it could go into the second round. On the other hand, he could also be back for Game 7. It was a horrible move on his part, I agree, but I think people are going a little overboard when they say ban him for the rest of the year and kick him out of the NBA. People throw elbows in the NBA. This one by Artest was particularly violent and not in the flow of the game aside from he was worked up after the dunk but imo Harden absolutely instigated it by intentionally getting in Artest's way and while he didnt deserve to get knocked out he did play a part by engaging Artest. Its not like Artest sought out Harden and lit him up while Harden was minding his own business. [/QUOTE]
