As much as I do not like Ron Artest because of the way he has behaved over the past few weeks and years in the NBA, I do think Jackson should have gotten the stiffer suspension for his actions.

I am not a Pacers fan at all, even more I am Pistons fan all the way though. As much as I like Ben Wallace, he probably should have been suspended for more then six games because his shuff got the real stuff going.

However, though Artest should have just let Wallace scored and not fouled him though. Needless, I am glad I was not in Commissioner Stearns's position with having to sort this whole mess out.

I do think Artest's suspension was because of his league history that he has with the NBA unfortunately. As much as the Indiana fans, player's union reps, and Artest fans want to complain about the length of the suspension, it is nt a surprise because of Artest's history recently in the NBA.

I am in NO WAY defending the Pistons staff asnd players who were involved in this mess, because they are responsible as well for their actions. I am just sorry to see that NBA has to go through this situation right now.
