Subject: Re: Will the suspensions be appealed?

Not only will it be appealed, but I bet ya Artest is back on the court
by the All-Star game. Also, Artest could possibly sue the NBA for not
providing adequate security which led to the situation. Imagine if it
had been something other than a drink in a cup(Monica Seles stabbing
comes to mind).

Somehow, fans were allowed onto the floor. There is no telling what else
couldve happened.
Is Artest blameless? NO!!!! But he shouldnt be suspended for the
remainder of the season either.

According to ESPN Sportscenter, Ron Artest is being allowed to rejoin
the Pacers for practice.
IMO, this means his suspension will probably be lifted right after the
All-Star break.

Congrats Pacer fans, looks like you'll have your whole team back
shortly.

That would be a definite boost to the team but they played extremely
well in the OT win at Miami last night. Jackson and Artest, if Artest
is indeed allowed to come back, would have to be melded into the
lineups slowly so that the chemistry that is already there is not
destroyed.

Scott Pollard should get a special award for weathering Shaq's body
blows all night. He kept hitting the floor and more or less bouncing
back up but more importantly he kept his cool. Good job Samurai
Scott!
