The foul was in the 3rd quarter. Artest put a forearm to Ginobili's head. It was a hard foul, but even as a Spurs fan I thought it was borderline suspension-worthy. Being the playoffs I didn't expect him to get suspended. JMO, but I think part of it might be a pre-emptive strike against the Kings because there's all kinds of talk out of Kings camp now about how they need to start committing hard fouls on Parker and the NBA could be stepping in to send a message that they don't want the Kings to start thugging it up.
