Even though I am a Pistons fan I was really ashamed by their crowds behavior. I know all the player deserves to be punished. Even though they were all "Professionals", they didn't act like one... But , I don't think artest deserved to be suspended for 72 games- rest of the season... that was really harsh. I know he was out of his mind but he had reasons to be so.... (I mean why not suspend him for 20-25 games or make him pay a huge fine...) And, I think pistons fans acted like a barbarians, after all they (pacers players) are professionals and they deserve some respect. So what they were playing against Piston it doesn't mean that fans have to insult players by throwing beverages and pop corns.... Ofcourse he will get mad I know he is a professional but first he is a human being, and anyone in his place would have got mad. And Wallace who started all this was suspended only for 6 games didn't sound fair at all, atleast not to me. Well, I mean if Ben Wallace was suspended for 6 games then Artest should have been suspended for 26 games at most. Now that sounds fair enough!! Well it is just my opinion, .... :-I Peace!
