I think he should be suspended for the playoffs. While I don’t believe that it was a calculated act, his judgment is so lacking that he is someone who seems to constantly find himself in these situations.
This incident was very reminiscent of the Kermit Washington/Rudy T. incident. While Kermit clearly intended to hit Rudy, Metta’s elbow was equally devastating.
If Harden is unable to play again this year, then Metta punishment should rollover into the beginning of next season.
i think at least 5 games if the league wants to cut out this nonsense his elbow in yesterdays game was worse then the one bynum connected with in last year playoffs
As a Spurs fan… The entire post season lol. But honestly, probably 2 games! However, it will depend on the severity of Harden’s injury!

Elbows are tough. Question do you think he intended to knock him out? Or was he swing “move out my way”? Get him into hockey for a couple of games. He will notbe fined or suspended in hockey.
He’s more than likely gonna be suspended for 2 games at the minimum or 5 games maximum. Unfortunate that his mental instability keeps taking away from his game.
I say he gets suspended for the playoffs. Given his history of this type of behavior, I think the nab brings down the iron fist on World Peace.
