James Harden should shave his beard. Metta World Peace probably thought he was a terrorist.

Somebody needs to ask Harden what the hell he was thinking ? I'd love to hear what he was trying to do basketball wise for the next play.


something was def. premeditated, and it was to be a freaking pest/annoyance. so what though?
Doc I'm not saying what Metta did was right, all I'm saying is let's look at it from Harden's side. What was his motive ? See this is what everybody is dancing around, guys trying to say Metta needs to be banned....that's just asinine. Harden was trying to accomplish something, now he found out that Ron is crazy, but hell we always knew that.

What you meant to say was is that it's a bad idea to run out in front of a drunk driver, because no one else on this particular road would have hit Harden the way Artest did.

NO ONE.

So, who do we blame here? THE DRUNK DRIVER 100%.

Harden was starting to annoy me with his fake machismo act! Metta simply put him in his place! i hope he learns his lesson. I don't think the hit was entirely on purpose though. Does he deserved to get suspended? Yes anyone in their right mind has to agree! i think minimum 5 maximum 7. At least Harden won't ever try that **** with the Lakers ever again (or anyone else for that matter). On the plus side we got Ebanks more minutes and he plays pretty well with Kobe as a slasher. Almost like Barnes with a better jumper and a bigger body to play defense.

Kobe wouldn't do what Harden did. If you want to make the comparison this can't be ignored.

Artest and Harden were both in the wrong. Artest moreso than Harden obviously.

Also I swear there was another play where Harden seemingly intentionally ran into a player to get contact, in that one he just flopped to the ground. I can't remember the play though.

hahah the comments are great. I'm sad we're losing MWP right when he's playing so well on both ends, but you get mass props for this.

Do you guys agree with the GB that metta is a "shockingly violent" person? I don't but he does act like an idiot sometimes.

No I think he's just highly impulsive and doesn't think things through. So in situations where cooler heads would usually prevail he just snaps and goes off on people.

Blessing really. Ebanks and Hill probably will get more play time, especially for the way they performed against OKC.
