I never knew bowling could take such a toll on the knees.

I never knew bowling could take such a toll on the knees. It could... last year I went bowling for my birthday and ended up having leg trouble for about a month.

The Pistons' in-game soundtrack reeks of someone who forgot to make a mix for tonight's game and had to scramble at the last minute and all he could come up with was his "SUMMER JAMZ 2004" CD in his car.

Its been 8 years since "Malice at the Palace". Time flies. I remember first hearing about this the morning after. I thought Artest was gonna be barred for life. Now he's trying to make people forget about this by going under that Metta World Peace crap. Jackson should've gotten a life ban too.

Well Artest was provoked by an asshole who had a criminal record so yeah. Doesn't make it right, but I'd have probably done the same thing Artest did if I were provoked like that.

There are a few people who should have caught a whole mess of heat that night.... 1. The fan that threw the cup - You just don't do that. 2. Ron Artest - He probably would have been absolved from a historical standpoint if he actually went after the right guy. However, he just charged the crowd in the general direction of where he believed the cup came from and started swinging wildly. 3. Stephen Jackson - Like Artest, he entered the stands to throw punches at anyone in the vicinity. Had he gone in to try to break things up or identify the fan that threw the cup, maybe the situation doesn't become as dire as it does. To this day, I think Stephen Jackson deserves a lot more blame than he gets for what happened that night. 4. The Pistons fan that came onto the court (and got socked by Jermaine O'Neal) - Once you cross that line, you're on your own. The guy clearly came onto the floor to try to exacerbate things, and he got what was coming to him.

Spurs/Clippers 2 tonight. Should be a good one. I just hope the Spurs don't get blown out this time. They're in San Antonio so they have that going for them, but Kawhi Leonard is out and I think that hurts them against a team as good as LAC.

Sooooo, even after 8 years, folks are going to absolve Ben Wallace of wrongdoing, despite the fact that he really started the whole thing? If he didn't super-overreact to the routing hard foul, it's a much different story.

The refs also lost complete control of that game. Hard fouls were happening left and right and they weren't being called. They let it get way too out of hand. Then Wallace shoved someone and the rest is history.

The punch O'Neal threw was awesome.

WELP, Stephen Jackson is gonna miss 4-6 weeks and Kawhi Leonard is still out so the Spurs are officially without a small forward.
Kinda crazy Jack gets hurt on the 8 year anniversary of Malice though...karma?

If he didn't super-overreact to the routing hard foul, it's a much different story. Yeah, even as a Pistons fan, I thought it was weird that Wallace didn't get more of the blame. It wasn't even that hard of a foul either. I remember being surprised that Artest didn't try fighting back against Wallace, then the rest of it unfolded... But yeah, Wallace got off super easy. Still feel bad about that, because the Pacers had a really good team that year, and it sucks that that was the defining moment of Reggie's final season.
