kinda like how rip hit Artest in the balls and artest got a flagrant for retaliating against rip's head....

[Black Dynamite]

That's BS against Artest.

Manu busted him up and got away with it.

yep. Ron actually got screwed on his rep here.

[Darth Thanatos]

I bet Manu flopped on that elbow as well.

He went 6 rows deep into the crowd and came up in a body cast.

Im sorry but if you look at the play, Ron absolutely deserved to get suspended.

I hate sticking up for Manu as much as anybody, and ROn Artest is one of my favorite players.

However, when you compare the two plays, Manu's was clearly unintentional, and Ron's was clearly intentional.

Manu got what he deserved (an offensive foul), and so did Ron (a suspension).

The way ron tried to get away with it was probably worse than just elbowing him face-to-face. It was a total cheap shot to manu's head when Manu wasn't paying attention.

[Black Dynamite]

manu does that shit all the time though. maybe it was unintentional(though i dont think it was), but he is still at fault playing that wreckless flailing flop style as he does. Of course he always falls back on the unintentional "thats just how i play" excuse. so much so that i think it is. but whatever though. im not a fan of either guy.

Manu does play recklessly, and he should be called for fouls a lot more than he does.

I hate the way he plays, but he has to deal with the fact he inflicts punishment on himself as well.

you'd think he does. but not as much as other people. wade does alot of the same unfundamentally sound garbage. but he actually hurts himself more than others. probally because of less elbow usage.
