NEW YORK -- David Stern said Wednesday the elbow that Metta World Peace used to give James Harden a concussion was "recklessly thrown" and the Los Angeles Lakers forwards history absolutely weighed into the suspension. Brandon Saad Jersey . The NBA commissioner suspended World Peace for seven games Tuesday, a penalty that could force him out of the entire first round of the playoffs, for the elbow he delivered to Hardens head in a game against Oklahoma City on Sunday. Stern said during a conference call that he took many things into account, including World Peaces numerous past troubles. World Peace, who changed his name from Ron Artest, received an 86-game suspension in 2004 -- the longest ban for an on-court incident in NBA history -- for jumping into the stands at the Palace of Auburn Hills in the Detroit suburbs to fight fans. "In fact if it had been somebody that got tangled up and threw an errant elbow, would that have been different than this? You bet it would have been," Stern said. "Its really very serious stuff and it does take in account the fact that the perpetrator is who he is and has the record that he has, and this called for in our view a very stiff penalty and we think that seven games, which only includes one regular-season game, is such a stiff penalty." Stern also was clear that he didnt buy World Peaces explanation that he accidentally struck Harden, who was cleared to play Wednesday but held out of the Thunders season finale. "I believe that it was recklessly thrown and I believe that in looking at the replays again and again that he should have known that James was up against him, and some would argue that he had to have known," Stern said. After a Lakers practice in California on Wednesday, World Peace acknowledged hed thrown a "brutal" elbow while celebrating after a dunk. He had previously apologized for the hit. "I was just way too emotional," he said. "It seemed like anger but it was a lot of passion involved. But it was erratic. It was erratic fire, it was erratic passion. It was way too much." Stern was vague and occasionally defensive when asked how he decided on the length of the ban. He called the process "some combination of art and science." "We look at the previous penalties, we look at whos involved in the altercation, we do take into account the seriousness of the injury and a variety of whatever else is in the atmosphere, and then it just becomes my job to decide what it should be," Stern said. Stern said he felt that seven games now, knowing only one of them will be in the regular season, was a move severe penalty than if it came during another part of the season. "I think the seven was larger than some people might have thought just from an elbow, and I think that in many cases people who thought that this was so horrible that it should result in a lifetime ban," he said. "But at the end of the day, I have to close the door and say, OK, what is justice here and whats fairness here, and I came up with seven." World Peace, reacting to comments by Shaquille ONeal and other former NBA players now working as commentators, sent a series of Twitter messages Wednesday night and posted a blog on his website -- http://www.ronartest.com -- that he titled "When Two Powerhouses Collide." "When two power houses collide (sic) there will be player confrontation... At this point its most important to stay on the floor and not do anything to get ejected," World Peace wrote in his blog. "When you get players that are capable of being ejected, that player has to be aware of the opponent trying to get under his skin.... This type of competition makes for great entertainment." He ended the five-paragraph entry, by saying: "When two power houses (sic) collide you will be enthralled by its art form." The Twitter posts included: --"Sports media , I understand yal articles and respect it.. But the players and players that played in the 80s judging me.More to come later." --"Shaq ,How can u comment on elbows.. What about the punch you threw at brad miller. And the elbows at dikembe and the prizbilla concussion?" --"Can magic johnson,jon barry and steven A compare my accidental elbow to the Luis scola face step and the Blake griff take down..?" Jack Johnson Jersey .com) - Alex Tanguay recorded a goal and two assists, as Colorado claimed a 5-2 victory over Dallas at Pepsi Center. Brandon Dubinsky Blue Jackets Jersey . - The Atlanta Falcons have signed former offensive lineman Gabe Carimi. http://www.bluejacketshockeyshop.us/Dalton-Prout-Jersey/ . The veteran right-hander went out and provided a promising flashback performance against the New York Yankees, even after another leadoff homer by Brett Gardner. The Rangers clinched their first series in a month with a 3-2 victory Wednesday night. RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Columbus Blue Jackets took advantage of a couple of late defensive lapses by the Carolina Hurricanes. Ryan Johansen and Jack Skille scored 1:28 apart late in the third period to rally for a 4-3 victory on Monday night. After Alexander Semin scored midway through the third period to give Carolina a 3-2 lead, the Hurricanes struggled in the final five minutes to allow the Columbus comeback. "You cant make mistakes late in the game that are going to cost you," Carolina coach Kirk Muller said. "We made two mistakes in the third. It was a game of errors and we made two and they made us pay for both of them." Johansen took advantage of a Carolina turnover and scored on an odd-man rush with a pass from Nick Foligno at 15:58 of the third to make it 3-3. Then at 17:26, Carolina executed a poor line change that allowed Skille to find open ice on the right wing that led to the game-winning goal. Skille said the comeback was a team effort. "We wanted to finish strong and were the type of team that will never give up," Skille said. "Everyone wants to win and that was the key to that third period." Mike McKenna, playing his fourth game with the Blue Jackets, finished with 300 saves and earned his first win of the season. Nick Foligno Jersey. "It was a little different than the other games Ive played this year," McKenna said. "What a fortuitous turn of events. That was about the best five minutes Ive been a part of. Those two guys went in and put two perfect shots." Columbus also got goals from Artem Anisimov and Corey Tropp as the Blue Jackets beat Carolina for the sixth straight time. Jeff Skinner, who has 10 goals in his past 11 games and leads Carolina with 14, scored twice on the power play. Both came when the Hurricanes were down a goal to tie the game. His first came with 1:11 left in the first period to make the score 1-1 on a 5-on-3. And he tied the game at 2-2 with 3:35 left in the second period. Carolina has struggled since winning three straight earlier in the month. The Hurricanes have lost six of their past seven, though three were in overtime. NOTES: C Boone Jenner has points (goal, assist) in consecutive games and Anisimov has points (one goal, two assists) in three straight for Columbus. ... C Eric Staal has 21 points (six goals, 15 assists) in his past 19 games. ... The Hurricanes scored multiple power-play goals in a game for the first time this season.
