Since the moment Metta World Peace elbowed James Harden in the head after celebrating a bucket we knew that a suspension was forthcoming. The buzz and anticipation about how hard the NBA would come down on MWP given his history of suspensions, most notably the Malace at the Palace from his days with the Pacers, was almost too much to handle.
The wait is over. The Orange County Register tonight announced on twitter that the NBA has suspended Metta for 7 games for the incident on Harden.
