The last game between them in Ok. City Harden was doing the same thing. Only he did it to Kobe and added some in your face trash talk, Ron stepped in and pushed him away from Kobe and Ron got a T. That's his move. The 'get in your way' and make it look like he's not BS.
 
Now, no way in hell did he deserve a full speed flying elbow. But Harden has been pushing it for awhile. He's like KG. Antagonizes. Don't think this incident didn't also stem from him doing that many times before. That's his thing and he bit off more than he could chew with crazy ass Ron Artest. It's pretty much an unwritten NBA rule that you avoid conflict with Mr. Peace.
 
In no way do I defend Artest. But mess with the bull... Harden knew exactly what he was doing and I say this because he's known for it. He's a gnat. 7 games is fair, esp. considering they are playoff games. And yes, the NBA favors the Lakers. That's why they vetoed a perfectly acceptable Chris Paul trade which sent the NO franchise to one of the worst records in NBA history. And when Eric Gordon doesn't re-sign (which he hasn't), they will have traded Chris Paul for... nothing! That dude from Wake Forrest and Kamen who they will ditch this summer. What a joke.
 
Also, what Ron did was awful. But the outrage is ridiculous. The Mailman knocked David Robinson out with an elbow to the back of the head and didn't even get a foul called. And ripped Issiah's face open. McHale clotheslining Rambis? The Detroit bad boy era? I'm not defending it, but it also wasnt as heinous a crime as it's being portrayed.
