Suspensions Get Super Sized...

David Stern has dropped the hammer in terms of NBA suspensions with regards to the Detroit Indiana fight on Friday night. The NBA commissioner suspended Artest for the remainder of this season Sunday and disciplined eight other players. Jackson drew a 30-game suspension and his Indiana teammate O'Neal was banned for 25 games. Ben Wallace of Detroit was hit with a six-game ban, and Indiana's Anthony Johnson got a five-game suspension. Four others drew single game suspensions for leaving the bench during the fracas.

Well, currently the Pacer's are 7 - 3 and probably are as high over 500 as they will be all season. I think we can pretty much write them off until next year as they will loose a better portion of the games over the next 25, with 3 key players out. I predict (lets see if this actually happens) that the Pacers at at 35 games will be 14 and 26. That's not totally out of playoff position but pretty far back to make a run.

More to come later on this and other fun weekend topics.
