Jacks Harden with his elbow intentionally in today's game. Why the NBA doesn't just toss him out of the league for the Playoffs and fine him a few million bucks is beyond me. Are they gonna wait until he really hurts someone? [video=youtube;WFLW--M9IX8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFLW--M9IX8&feature=youtube_gdata_player[/video]
New nickname: Metta World Peace of Sh!t. (i did not come up with that, but after i heard it once i can't get it outta my mind whenever i hear about him hehe)
Bynum got 5 games at the beginning of this season for his flagrant shot at Barea in the closing moments of game 4. I'd imagine they would probably use that as the benchmark. Given his history though, I could see them setting it at 7 or 8 games.
It's amazing to me, considering he has been suspended 13 previous times in his career, that Stern thinks another one will change him. I visit a pro forum quite often and some of the cr@p I read there just blows me away: http://forums.prosportsdaily.com/forumdisplay.php?f=70
My thought is that our illustrious District Attorney should review the tape and charge Mr. World Peace with assault and battery.

The league needs to start fining/suspending him for all these flops. The one above looks almost identical. Runs into a guy unnecessarily, trying to get a foul, and he got a bit more than he wanted from Artest. Harden really exaggerated it, though. And no, I don't support Artest's elbow. I just think Harden's little act is getting ridiculous. Here's another example of his garbage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gDcHZ1lszY
Further elaborating the Harden situation...he wasn't taking that inbound pass. Westbrook was. And even if he did plan on taking the inbound pass, he would be running AWAY from Artest, not to him. So yeah, he was definitely trying to draw a cheap foul. Doesn't excuse Artest's elbow, though.
