I sort of thought it was a bit disturbing when someone who was calling the game said the refs were intentionally giving Artest fouls that maybe other players wouldn't have gotten so that Aldeman could get Artest out of the game. Is that really what the referees go through? I'd like to hope not. Its clear the refs were trying to send a message. You give him a fine. Granted, it probably wouldn't have hurt him one bit but you don't suspended a guy for a possibly series ending game. With the Kings being the away team they have to go for the steal on the road.
