I wonder if the NBA will be looking to see if these attacks were racially motivated. Why Not? I'm sure if 2 white guys had tried to end the careers of 2 black guys within minutes the media would be calling them racist. Hope the NBA goes on strike and never returns. I stopped watching NBA basketball the day they started drafting kids right out of high school.

It's almost as if Artest's behavior rubbed off on Odom and Bynum, up until now two of the most mild-mannered players.

I'm all for turning the nba back into a mans game but cheap shots like bynums have no place in the game. The bad boys of Detroit would beat the $h!t out of you but they did it while looking you in the eyes not from your blind side like Andrew Crynum
Artest's foul I think was going to be an intentional foul that went wrong. I don't think he intended to hit Barea in the face. He didn't wind up or swing or do anything to add more power to the hit. He didn't respond as if he was satisfied with hitting Barea. It just seemed to me like he tried to do an intentional foul that would have been fine on a normal player, but Barea is extra small and he hit Barea in the face instead of the chest or shoulder like he wanted. Artest looked like he didn't mean to after he did it, but it wouldn't have mattered because of his past, so he just left the floor knowing he was in for suspension.

Odom's foul on Dirk should not have been a flagrant. That was a regular foul and it was physical interaction that happens in almost every single game from high school up through the pros. The refs called the foul because it happened to Dallas's star player and it happened towards the end of a game that was out of reach. I think they were trying to send a message so that fouls like Andrew Bynum's wouldn't happen. Whelp, it didn't work and Bynum did commit a flagrant foul that deserved to get him kicked out of the game and probably a small suspension.

Calling someone a thug for committing a foul in a basketball game seems to lean towards unintended racial discrimination in my opinion. When's the last time a white guy was called a thug for committing an unnecessarily hard foul?
They're still playing basketball, not committing drive-bye shootings. Use some discrestion.

Actually a thug is not a race specific term...secondly.. yo soy Latino and a bit brown...lol .."unintended racial discrimination " could not apply to me...

Hard fouls are part of the game but the clothes line stuff needs to be penalized more...mainly to just shut it down.
Suspend a guy for at least 2 games and a fine will eliminate that quickly...
The money will not matter but 2 game checks and not being able to play will hurt.

If I was a player and a I was really mad at someone 2 games is nothing....I think it should be more

EXACTLY, bill lambier was a man and came at you like a man, as did rodman and mahorn. Bynums shot was childish, uncalled for and the definition of bush league.
