Yep. League officials are going over all the video they can to find an appropriate punishment for each player involved.

Until the NBA is done investigating the situation.

They're also saying that the law is looking into possibly pressing charges against both fans and players. You know theres going to be some lawsuits filed.

My guess is that Stephen Jackson will be suspended the most games. He was just too wild last night-lol

Most definitely. I'd sue them into oblivion. Fines and suspensions should be harsh to be a deterrent for other players.

I jut want to remind everyone that there has been situations when fans were fighting players in hockey, baseball, and football. So last night's situation was nothing NEW

But this one seemed like it was the most dangerous situation. I mean someone like Artest fighting with the fans? Not a good combination considering his temper problems and reputation. I'm suprised Sheed wasn't fighting or anything.

It was not a dangerous situation in my opinion. And two of the fas asked to get punched in the mouth when they were charging Artest.

When they were on the court-yes they did deserve to get popped. Up in the stands it was most definatly dangerous. What about the people that were not involoved that got crawled over and hit by accident. You know they're going to sue somebody. Going in the stands never does any good. Let the law get those jack*** fans and file charges against them.

I think the suspensions are really going to hurt both teams in the standings but not as much as it;s going to hurt the Pacers. Pacers will be without their key players for a WHILE.

Last night box score showed that the Pacers only player 6 guys. Don't see that too often these days.

That game last night showed how bad of a team Orlando really is that they just won 86-83 against a Pacers team without

Artest
Johnathan Bender
Oneal
Reggie Miller
Jamal Tinsley
Scott Pollard
Stephen Jackson


That's pathetic

The suspensions have been announced.

Artest - 30 games
Jackson - 20 games
O'Neal - 20 games

Wallace - 5 games

I say the suspensions are fair.

Wow 30 games?? That is more than I expected. They should do something to that fan that threw something at Artest, though. Maybe a fine or jail time.

Artest got suspended for 30 games, Stephen & Jermaine 20 games? Wow that's a lot of games & the Pacers are gonna lose a lot of games while they're out LOL. The Cavs will end up taking first place i think. The Cavs are rollin right now. They've won 6 in a row.

I think I heard Rasheed Wallace got 5 games too. Well the Pacers season is over with a capital O

I would be surprised if Rasheed was suspended, he didn't really do anything. But yeah, it's incredible how one night could pretty much end their season.

They still have to figure out who threw it..I'm convinced it was the guy in the hat.

How could Rasheed get suspended when all he did was try to break up the fight between Ron & Ben? That's not fair.

Well I know Artest is Happy, he now gets to promote his album and get some rest-LOL This is what artest wanted and he certainly got it

Ben is suspended, not 'sheed.

ESPN/ABC's Jim Gray I think knows who threw it. During the highlights he mentioned someone, that who actually threw it.

Where are yall getting this INFO? I haven't seen anything about on ESPNEWS

Yeah, I think the night it happened, he mentioned that it was infact the guy in the hat, and blue Pistons jersey. I haven't seen any video to prove it yet, but that guy just seems obvious.
