I actually think Artest's ended up a lot worse then he intended. Looked like he was attempting to foul Berrea (sp??) and the collision with his teammate caused the clothesline. Artest's foul was easily the least flagrant and least intentional of the 3.

You know, right after the game there were a lot of apologists saying, "He was just trying to foul, and inadvertently clotheslined him." Seems to me that just like an accidental shooting while committing another crime is no longer an accident ... an accidental flagrant while trying to foul is no longer an accident. It irks me that "he was trying to foul" somehow gets him off the hook or makes it less serious.
