[QUOTE="Gauntlet, post: 612508, member: 545529"] It wasn't cheap, it was just a foul. Wallace himself threw cheaper fouls during the game, although I suppose you would have had to watched the entire game to notice this. For all your talk about Artests temper, how come he was the one [I]constantly[/I] walking away from the fight and avoiding things, and why was Wallace the one [I]constantly[/I] getting in people's faces, talking trash, and instigating fights? Actually before any of this happened the refs should have stopped the fight from moving off the court and gotten control of the situation. But for the sake of argument, have you ever played on a team? It's literally family. It's not an issue of ego. So why were the Pistons starters on the floor? Hell, if the Pistons just gave up and forefitted this would have never happened!
