I don't think it was intentional. Do you think Wade's hard foul in the All star game was inadvertent?

No body is talking about wade's foul. By bringing it up, I think you actually do think it was intentional. Yet for some reason you're still sticking up for him.

Take the blinders off dude. That's like me saying I don't think Rob Reynolds meant to choke Sorgi.

Exactly, at some point you can't make a valid defense/excuse even though he is "your guy" because he's on your team. There is no excuse for Artest's behavior. The guy most definitely has some issues that people thought were worked out and under control. Apparently not yet.

Also, gotta give some reps to Sleeper for owning up to intentionally misleading and being fair when talking about my post. Not sure if I can handle sleeper being friendly, just seems gross, like kissing cousins or something.

How can you claim to have eyesight or a brain and actually believe that elbow was not intentional? I'm baffled. :laugh:

skyhook is obviously retarded. Only logical answer to someone thinking it wasn't intentional.

Had he elbowed him in the forearm. I could see it being accidental. But when you can obviously see that he swings his elbow upward... That's intentional. Nobody throws there elbow upward when celebrating.

Wade made a play on the ball and hit Kobe's nose on the follow through, get real man.

If Artest really was concerned about Harden, and really didn't mean to elbow him, he wouldn't have acted like a thug and try to square off with Ibaka. GTFO and take off your blinders failhook.

Wade already stated that he intended to foul Kobe.

What does my faith have to do with this? I believe MWP, I don't think it was intentional.

No, it points out that different people see things differently.

It means you're a fake. You preach your religious BS over in the other thread, yet defend Artest's OBVIOUS intentional elbow. Not to mention you constantly ride the nuts of a known adulterer. Sleeper was right.....fraud.

Intending to foul someone doesn't mean it's a cheap shot or that you are trying to bring harm to them, hopefully you can see the difference.

I have watched alot of basketball in my life, I have NEVER seen a player "accidentally" elbow someone like that. I'm amazed that somebody actually believes that was inadvertent

If I was actually concerned about the guy I just "accidentally" hurt I would be remorseful from the beginning.

If he had just ran by celebrating and maybe elbowed Harden, I could see a case for it being inadvertent... However, he felt Harden on him and he completely cocked his elbow forward and brought it back with force... That was about as intentional as you can get.

And UPWARD!!! Show me one person who throws their elbow upward when celebrating. His right arm flung out before the elbow. It didn't go upward

Exactly, he cocked and accelerated the follow through. It's plain as day and was intentional, no doubt about it.

Ron looked even like more of a tard w/ his tweets after the incident. He should have manned up and admitted it instead of denying it like a bitch.
