I am usually the last person to side with the NBA thugs, but I hope Stern goes light on the players and hope the Pistons organization shows some sack and tries everything they can to identify the fans involved and revoke season tickets. The players should not go into the crowd and Artest certainly knows better, but the fans can't get a free pass simply because they don't think the players will come after them, and that's just what this was. As far as the fat kid who got creamed by Oniel, well when you venture onto the court all bets are off and Oniel should get a free pass on that part of things, of course the argument could be made that the kid dropped his donut and was looking for it, but I think he got what was coming to him.
Sad day for sports though reguardless of who is to blame.
