If the Palace of Auburn Hills incident hadn't happened, could Artest help the Pacers win the championship?

Recently, Ron Artest said in a video program: "Our 2004 Pacers can beat any team in history. Our defense is too tough. Once the defense is in place, it will definitely be effective against the game."A lot of people don't know about Artest, they only see him as a tough guy, a brash who likes to fight, or a little more, know that he won the best defensive player in the 03-04 season. In fact, Artest during the Pacers period was an all-around fighter with a balanced attack and defense. The 03-04 season was Artest's fifth season in the league. He averaged 18.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.1 steals per game, while shooting 42.1% from the field. The Pacers lost to the Pistons 2-4 in the East Finals, and the Pistons defeated the Lakers 4-1 in the finals to win the championship. If the old Miller of the East Finals G2 instead of a layup but a dunk after the steal, maybe everything will be different. In the 2004-05 season, Artest was a rising star. In the first seven games, he averaged 24.6 points, 49.6% shooting from the field, and 41.1% three-point shooting. Unfortunately, the Auburn Hills Palace incident occurred. He was suspended 73 games, Jackson 30 games, Jermaine O'Neal 15 games, Johnson 5 games and Miller 1 game. That season, the Pacers lost to the Pistons 2-4 in the second round without Artest. The Pistons lost to the Spurs 3-4 in the Finals. With Artest + Stephen Jackson + Miller + O'Neal Jr. + Tinsley + Foster + Dale Davis in teams, the Pacers are balanced in attack and defense. It is also the core memory of many people! I think if the Palace of Auburn Hills incident had not occurred, perhaps the Pacers with Artest would have a chance to beat the Pistons in the 2004-05 season and eventually win the championship. What do you think?
