Re: Ron Artest suspended one game for striking Jose Barea
Well Some Lakers fans dont mind but it does hurt depth not having Artest when the Bench is Weak as it is..If Odom gets into Foul Trouble trouble the Lakers will be Screwed..
I think he will be suspended, that definitely looks bad. I'm not saying I agree with the suspension, but the way the rule is governed now, that will most likely be a suspension.
On the other hand, for those who are bagging on Artest's character. The man clearly has anger problems that come mentally and manifest itself through him physically. He admits it himself, and publicly says he's been trying to get help for years now. During this year and last year, all I've read is Artest's off the court contributions to charities, societies, organizations. He's only been a good team-mate, supporting the players and coaches even tho clearly his role has been lessened significantly compared to his previous teams. I can't even imagine the amount of hours he's put into therapy, relaxation techniques, and communication efforts to relax himself for the ups and lows of a NBA season.
That in itself, that effort, is what is commendable about Ron Artest. I honestly think he felt bad, maybe not for Barea, but for himself because he knew he made a wrong move and it was a step back from what he's been training for all these years.
Lol. It's not just about anger problems. People get angry all the time. But are they always gonna go around hitting people? You can't act on your every impulse. Wtf is he, an animal?
