I think some of the Hockey fans decided to go to a basketball game. They reacted just like a hockey crowd. Beer is thrown all the time at those contest as well as other things.

I think the NBA needs to rethink fan access to the game. Lots of valid points points have been made in this discussion.

Wallace deserves blame for his actions and the penalty should be weighted because those actions served to further incite the fan reaction.

Artest and teammates deserve blame to reacting to fans.

Detroit fans/team deserve blame for the action of the fans. I think the next two contests between the Pacers and Pistons in Detroit should be without fans in attendence.

When lawsuits come, NBA, Piston management should also be equal partners in the lawsuit if a player is named. NBA for providing a venue that could get out of hand and the Piston Management for inadequate security.
