and that is my thought as well. even if he WAS getting in his way to stop him from breaking free down-court, there was no call for the elbow. Artest should have been banned from basketball for that crap, but the NBA continues to just look the other way (with simple suspensions and fines which to insanely rich players amount to little or nothing)...
