I need to re-phrase my former question. The Pacers lost an NBA Title opportunity due to that brawl. Unruly fans that were upset that their team was not only losing, but getting their butts kicked badly..started behaving badly. I agree that Artest should have been suspended but the punishment didn't fit the crime. It cost the Pacers a Title opportunity. Artest was the best defender in the league that year, the Pacers were Number one in the east up until that game, by several games I might add. They hadn't even lost double digit games yet. So, we know the Pacers should have been in the title game.. the Lakers weren't even a blip that year. So, how many fewer games should Artest have been suspended? Should he at least have been allowed to play in the playoffs? Since the suspension happened in the regular season that would have seemed fair to me. 10 games? 15, 20? What do you think.
