Metta World Peace elbow to Harden

[Doctor MJ]

@MettaWorldPeace

I just watched the replay again..... Oooo.. My celebration of the dunk really was too much... Didn't even see James ..... Omg... Looks bad

He's keeps digging that hole. So dumb. I'm honestly surprised he doesn't know the way to handle this by now:

"No excuses. What I did was wrong, and I'm mad at myself. I'm sorry, I'm only concerned with James' health now, and I accept whatever punishment the NBA gives me."

I don't see what MWP has done wrong. Harden moved directly in his way after he dunked it.

Studio gangstas and floppers like Harden should get this kind of elbow more often. Really am sick of these youngsters who think they are all tough not getting any swift justice for being chippy and annoying.

[Heat3]

Kick him out of the league permanently. After the **** he was involved with Detroit/Indy....I'd show no leniency. It's a thug move. Completely blind siding an opponent and can seriously injure someone. Specially with all the concussion talk going on in sports leagues...

Totally agree. Harden should be banned for head butting Rons elbow like that

[Jugs]

It would be a travesty if MWP missed out on this year's playoffs. he's been playing really well the past few weeks. gotta live with the consequences

but kicked out of the league permanently? I THOUGHT AMERICA WAS THE LAND OF SECOND CHANCES?

[0HeadAche0]

Theres no doubt that he did it on purpose and it was a bad thing to do but really we're going **** over this.

The way i see it and i honestly believe this, a lot of youngsters get away with too much talking and doing too many chippy little things without getting a elbow in the skull. I bet Harden wont be purposefully getting in peoples way now or think twice before he thinks he has the right to talk some junk to a vet.

Could not believe it when i saw him jive talking with Kobe the other week, Harden you're a good player but really, you're trying to get in the grill of a guy whose got nearly 30 thousand points and 5 rings

[Jeff23]

the worst part about it that there are really some people who are defending this guy.

[ComboGuardCity]

What Ron did was out of line, but really James Harden, why are you stepping to the craziest MF in the league.

[MastaStrategist]

Defending him from people who are calling for a life-time ban , yes. Defending him for throwing an elbow, no

[Josephpaul]

Why was harden getting so close to Metta? I say he will get 5 -10 games supension.

That would require a thought process. It's quite evident that he doesn't has one. Especially, when he is angry or pumped up.

You beat chippy play and loud mouths with basketball plays. Scored 40 on the guy, shut him down, you don't elbow a guy in the head, especially with that sort of force, during a dead ball. If that ever happened at a local gym that person would easily be kicked out, at local parks your starting a fight.

I agree to an extent, that is to say, I liked the idea behind the elbow (to the chest or arm etc...) in order to send a message to "step off and back up", but the actual manner in which things played out was unfortunate and awful. Great idea, horrendous execution IMO.

As for Ron, a lot of folks bring up his past but I'm curious, aside from the one game suspension last year against Dallas when was the last time he was suspended for an on-court altercation?

It's BASKETBALL!! Have you ever played before? People bump into each other ALL THE FREAKIN time. Doesn't mean you swing an obvious intentional elbow at someone.

What he did was bad he should get like a 2 or 3 game ban but realistically im just so tired of guys like Harden or Ibaka or any 3 or 4 year player in the league pretending they are tough without any repercussions

You say that as if Artest hasn't already been given a million chances.

I am sensing some seriousness and then tad bit of trolling just to spice things up.

Already had his second chance. And he blew it. Not once, not twice.

[Ugalde]

Makes me mad because now the Lakers lose a key player.
