Watched the game replay on MSG. That was a bad foul ro start the melee. He should be suspended for at least 3 games. The knicks have officially hit bottom. They looked so horrible last night.
I don't really care about basketball, but I can't wait for the Nets to move to Brooklyn so I have someone to root against the Knicks.
And yes that foul was ridiculous, but I think the guy who was fouled and anyone else who threw a punch will get similarly harsh penalties from the league.
The Knicks are horrible and alot of people on both sides are to blame! But what's up with Carmello Anthony's open fist punch, then runs away like a you know what. No brains and no heart.
The NBA is one of the most unporfessional group of athletes out there.... Bad role models and cetrainly need to be fined and punished to the maximum the NBA can.
The Knicks have been a total disgrace ever since Dolan took over MSG. Goodole Jimmy couldn't find his way out of paper bad let alone run a professional sports team. Same with the Ranges, they suck to.
i'm not sure the NBA as a whole is full of unprofessional athletes.. they seem fairly professionial to me - at least most of the them.Quote:

As for "role model".. I don't know.. Their job is to play basketball and they're chosen because they are the best at that..

The Knicks didn't always respect their oponents in those days.. and one difference is now, their oponents do not respect them anymore.

Surprised Isiah didn't get a fine for his comments.
Isiah wasn't suspended because it hurts the Knicks more to have him on the sidelines!
Good call.
Isiah is such a joke. Karl had some pretty good stuff to say to Isiah.
Word is the Nuggets have traded the NBA's leading scorer and #2 dirtbag, Carmelo Anthony, for the #2 scorer and #1 dirtbag, Allen Iverson.
This report was incorrect. Iverson went to Denver, but Anthony was not involved. That would have been moronic, but that didn't stop all the news orgs from repeating it for a couple hours. Now the Nuggets have the top two scorers AND the top two thugs in the league...yay!
