New NBA Brawl

isiah thomas started this and gets no suspension? i would have loved anthony to run up and punch him in the face

I think a lot has to do with the nature of the sport itself. It's easier to take out your aggression in the flow of a football game what with all the hitting there is. You can't do that in the flow of a basketball game really.

That is a really good point TAF. That is also the case in soccer, search soccer fights on YouTube and you will be shocked, now that is crazy.

Yeah I dont get that, he basically said that if those players continued to stay in they would get hurt.

Of course Karl should have benched his players because they easily had the game. I mean why keep your star players in the game? It is is not only insulting to the other team, but you are risking injury.

However, this does not justify the threat and action by the Knicks. I mean The nugs have the right to play however they feel, even thought it might be bad sportmanship. No one has the right to foul hard because of that though. Thomas should get more than a fine, because he is a leader and he should suffer more.

They were saying on PTI and ATH that Karl probably kept his guys in there because he's Larry Brown's "boy" and therefore he wanted to embarass the Knicks in MSG. I thought that was just another interesting nugget to this whole story (sorry, I couldn't resist).

:doh:

I didn't know that Jeffries had that kind of emotion in him. The whole time he was in DC I think his expression changed twice.

New York City will make anyone into an angry, violent, nutty person! :D

The Knicks are a joke. It's funny how such a terrible team is focusing on anything other than themselves. What a bunch'a tools.

It's great to watch the Knicks self-destruct though. They've always been my least-favorite team along with the Jazz (Malone and Stockton were thugs).
