Ron Artest’s prediction that his team will win the NBA championship took a hit today as the forward was suspended by the league for a forearm he threw to the head of Manu Ginobili. He will miss Tuesday’s Game 2 of the series.
Game 3 should be interesting. I suspect the Kings will be down 0-2, and we’ll either get a superhuman effort from Artest in a Kings’ victory or maybe it will be time for a meltdown.
Miami’s Udonis Haslem was also suspended one game for throwing his mouthpiece at an official after a no-call.
