The way Stu Jackson does things will clearly indicate if he's Stu, or another RogerC.
My takes:
- Alston = 1 game. House (although he bumped him after the shot) should be rewarded for notattacking dude.
- House = 5k, not disclosed to the public, for the bump after the shot, although it was nomalicious intent. It goes to charity and he can deduct it from his taxes any damn way!
- Fisher = 2 games. If you go to espn.com, they show the clip. Fisher sees Scola coming andlooks in his rearview the ENTIRE time, setting up for his elbow. It was premeditated from the very jump, and the hit was above the shoulders. If it was just inthe chest and directly in the heat of battle, 1 game. Above the shoulders and premeditated = 2 games.
- Kobe = 1 game. Situation identical to D. Howard/S. Dam in my opinion. If that's thestandard that was set, for a "superstar" in the playoffs this year, I swear I will not watch another Laker game if Kobe gets off. Artest was clearlyand fairly boxing him out, no illegal hands or nothing.
- Artest = fined 10k. Just cause. He gets a 15k discount for very good behavior, he went tothe refs immediately and all pleading his case. A man is still a man. He should be commended, and his post-game interview is an instant classic. He may bebi-polar, lol, but Artest gonna let you know what the deal is! hahahaha!
