April 22, 201214 yr He can change his name if he wants, but deep down he's the same ol' Ron Artest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=so3TR0bcx9k
April 22, 201214 yr When i saw it happen live I thought it could have been incidental but after seeing replays there is no way you can defend him.
April 22, 201214 yr I wouldn't be surprised if he is suspended the rest of the season. Must not have taken his meds today.

April 23, 201214 yr Wonder if Law enforcement would consider charging him criminally? He obviously assaulted him... Not saying they will, but they could right?
April 23, 201214 yr I'm not defending what he did, but I don't think he intended to elbow the guy in the head. If that elbow hits the arm, back, shoulder, then play doesn't even stop because no one even really noticed it until Harden was on the ground. The ejection was warranted and he should be suspended the last game of the regular season and game 1 of the playoffs. Was it a stupid move, absolutely. Did he mean to hit the guy after they ran into each other while he was celebrating, Yes. Did he mean to elbow the guy in the back of the head, No.
April 23, 201214 yr Poor World Peace. You run into the crowd, beat up a couple of fans, elbow a defenseless player behind thevear and you are labeled for life.

April 23, 201214 yr Poor World Peace. You run into the crowd, beat up a couple of fans, elbow a defenseless player behind thevear and you are labeled for life. He doesn't always make it easy to defend him but you are correct. He'll always be a thug and today did nothing to erase that stigma.
April 23, 201214 yr @MettaWorldPeace: Hope James Hardin is ok... I remember when I hit by Marc Gasol the same way.. I was spitting up blood and a headache during the game...
April 23, 201214 yr It's a shame that this has to be the story of the game. The bigger story moving forward is that OKC blew a 17 point lead in the 2nd half. They are looked at as the favorite in the west and LA is considered 'old' and 'done' just as they looked through most of this game. I just don't believe that OKC or the Clippers have the mental toughness to make it out of the west. It still runs through San Antonio, Dallas, and the Lakers.
