Well, atleast people will talk about this brawl for the next few days instead of the boring Iverson trade rumors.

To me, this was a cool fight which was tight because we barely have any nba fights. I love nba and its fights. I personally thought the fight was tight. Even though someone would've gotten hurt, a fight is a fight. A fight entertains people right? You guys may think I am immature, but the fight was pretty tight. I am not trying to look at this fight in a big picture like the suspensions and all. It was a fight involved with a lot of people which I thought was enterainting. Even though this may not be wrestling, a fight in nba is always fun to see. You guys may think its immature, but I am 15 and thought it was entertaining and funny.</div>
LMAO I think this is the 2nd post I've seen of you where you continously repeat the same words over and over throughout a paragraph. That has to be a record for the most times I've seen the word "fight" in a paragraph.
 
Why did David Lee get ejected? He was holding the guys back. He really shouldn't get suspended.

Lol i just realized that.

Wasnt as bad as our brawl with the Pacers, but it was entertaining none the less.</div>
I wonder do Hockey Brawls get termed "ghetto" too

I'm pretty sure he's talking about Nate's overall persona, with an example being shown tonight. He's a rambunctious dude, and that comes off as 'ghetto' to some people. I'm not sure how hockey brawls tie into that though.
 
Also, that kind of senseless violence is encouraged in hockey. If a player instigates against the opposition to send a message in hockey, he's considered tough, gritty, and dedicated to the team. Clearly, the same sort of thing is unacceptable in basketball. I personally wouldn't have used the word "ghetto," but there's not much of a parallell there.

I dont understand what you're trying to say, but what Schaddy said is what I was talking about. He just seems to me to be more interested in maintaining a "hood" image rather than how he performs on the court.

This would NEVER happen to teams such as the Spurs, Lakers, Suns, Jazz, Magic.</div>

Of course it wouldn't.

Everyone loves Steve Nash.
Dwight Howard just looks scary.
Kobe Bryant might give the refs a "dirty stare."
Karl Malone would fly out of the stands and kung-fu kick someone.
And the Spurs would all fall on the floor before the first punch, God bless those Floppers.

Lol @ this being the biggest talk of Justbball. To think this was only made a couple hours ago and it is already 10 pages.
 
I can't say I'm surprised the Nuggets were involved. They lead the league in technicals by a wide margin last year.
 
Wow... I googled the word "Carmelo" and "bitch" and wound up here.

This fight was big, but it wasn't the worst case scenario. What happens if some New Yorkers felt like fighting? Then it would have been Pistons-Pacers Brawl Part II.

I think in any contact team sport there's going to be fighting. And when there is fighting, you have to protect your boys. As a team, where players are always together practicing and spending time together on the road, it's kind of an unspoken rule that you protect your teammates' back no matter what. Now if your teammates are idiots, well it makes it kind of hard, but they'd probably do it for you.

The Pistons/Pacers brawl was different in that Artest might have hit the wrong guy and Stephen Jackson went in and started punching people. I mean that ain't protecting his back, that's just making things more dangerous if people want to form a mob mentality/street justice type of thing. This fight wasn't a big deal to me. The flagrant foul was a big deal, but players got so hotheaded, they couldn't even settle down and play the game.
 
I think these sort of fights would be less "scary" if there was an accepted rule that if people want to fight, let them fight. Nobody get involved until it's obvious some guy is losing or both are too tired to continue. Now if a 6'11 250 lb guy wants to challenge a 6'0 200 lb, that's just pathetic, but nobody get involved and there's no worry about a battle royale. Fans won't get hurt and other teammates won't get hurt. But that's tough if the fight is too close to the sideline like it was this game. Some camera man, cheerleader, or fan might get caught up in it.
 
lol, Eduardo Najera would've been the last person I would've expected to get caught up in all of this.
 
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"They were having their way with us," Thomas said. "I think J.R. Smith had just made one dunk when he reversed and spun in the air. And I think Mardy didn't want our home crowd to see that again. So he fouled him."

Said Nate Robinson: "It's like a slap in the face, saying we're going to embarrass you like that."

Boy, thank goodness the NBA has a coach and a player willing to stand up for sportsmanship like these two.

We know a respectful sort such as Robinson would never, ever show up an opponent by, say, bounce-passing a ball off the backboard to himself so he could dunk it. And we know if, say, such a thing happened on his watch, say Nov. 29 in Cleveland, Thomas would never, ever leave Robinson in the game like it was completely acceptable.

Of course not. Not these virtuous souls.</div>

Hahahahahaha, great column this by Dan Wetzel over at Yahoo! Sports, the part I bolded is gold.

Always the one you least suspect. They all have skeletons in the closet.
 
LOL at Melo being a bitch by getting a cheap punch in and then running away.

Looking at this from the game point of view, it's something like this which could make the Knicks team bond together and perhaps play better.
 
I don't know if this has been discussed and I'm too lazy to go back through 10 pages of the thread, but does anyone else think George Karl is at fault? The Knicks were up 19 with a minute to go, yet Carmelo, JR Smith and Andre Miller were all in the game? When this is at MSG, no less. It just seems like Karl was rubbing it in, and JR Smith's showboating is definitely not professional. It's reasonable, then, in that context, why the Knicks were frustrated. You're getting run off you're gym floor in a game that's already over, and the other team's best players are making flashy plays against your backups.

The score looks like its fake, it looks like it was added on in a video editing program

i was thinking the same, both isiah and karl seem to be culpable in this. first, according to published reports- isiah commanded his players to foul hard in the paint and if Karl was keeping his stars in to embarrass the knicks for his buddy larry brown, he should be held responsible as well. i say five games apiece; the nhl as u know disciplines coaches in hockey brawls, don't see why its different here. nevertheless, i hope melo misses 20+ games, regardless of what chris sheridan says.
 
yeah i was flippin around games and as soon i turned on the knicks-nuggets game i just happened to see the whole brawl. i don't think JR Smith should of reacted that way. personally i think that guys way too cocky. he shows off way too much, and whenever he makes one three he attempts like 5 more. but i also think nate robinson and melo really made it worse.

P.S. waht about guys like wilt chamberlain or shaq (hack-a-shaq)? if they were to react like that everytime they got fouled hard they'd of had so many suspensions

He was just holding guys back...
 
I have to applaud the security at the Knicks game for keeping the crowd out of it. If you notice in the video, that's the first thing the authorities at the game try to do. Good job on their behalf.

About the actual fight though, I've lost a lot of respect for Carmelo Anthony. Typical "thug," sucker-punching a guy and then running away. This is probably the first physical conflict the guy's ever been in.

Lol, i knew that was going to come up eventually !! I was trying to find that but it had some difficulty. Props for that one. That has to be the most screwed up dance i've ever seen. The score at the end is super imposed but it's still funny.
 
<div class="quote_poster">Locke Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">I don't know if this has been discussed and I'm too lazy to go back through 10 pages of the thread, but does anyone else think George Karl is at fault? </div>not at the same level. gamesmanship without physical harm or risk of injury is one thing. dangerous fouls and punches that's the next level up. so what if he did keep Melo and JR Smith on the floor in the final minutes? is that illegal or something? no.
 
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Knicks? already struggling season reached a new low last night when a brawl erupted in the closing minutes of their game against the Denver Nuggets. All 10 players on court at the time were ejected as the fight spilled into the front row at Madison Square Garden.

Carmelo Anthony, the N.B.A.?s leading scorer, was one of those ejected. The fighting was the ugliest in the league in two years, since a memorable and frightening brawl when players for the Indiana Pacers went into the stands to fight Detroit Pistons fans.</div>

Yup, it had to do something with George Karl keeping the starters in.
 
Man I dont care what you guys think but the funnies part was Nate Robinson bucking at Melo after Melo got that cheap shot. Nate Robinson is a little punk. He was trying to act like he was big daddy. He slapped Melo and then tried to fight J.R. Smith. Then he was trying to mess with everyone.
