melo the punk

[weebo]

I actually thought this guy was a good sportsman. Obviously he is a punk for that cheap shot. Suspend this jerk!

[Dre_7]

Thanks Melo. Not only did you give us the game, but you may have gotten yourself suspened!!!

[E20]

I want him there, he's a little bitch who takes 30 shots to score 6 points.

[stéphane]

Thanks Melo. Not only did you give us the game, but you may have gotten yourself suspened!!!
hope he gets what he deserves... prepare yourself for fishing little punk

[ALVAREZ6]

Melo and Buckner are cheap pussies, fuck them both, they don't know how to lose the right way! :lol

[JUUOT]

i do not care who this is but you have to suspend him if you want people to respect this game

[weebo]

i just saw the replay. kenyon martin should've also been tossed.

[Dre_7]

No, watch melos left arm.
Shoved Manu after he had been fouled 3 times.

[RobinsontoDuncan]

Kenyon Martin needs to be suspended for a game also, it was clear to me that he saw melo go in for the foul and wanted to make it hurt as much as possible for Manu. Bitch.

[weebo]

you're right SA but if you look closely martin didnt get his shot in because anthony beat him to it. i wouldnt be at all surprised if george karl put them up to this.

[myhc]

I actually thought this guy was a good sportsman. Obviously he is a punk for that cheap shot. Suspend this jerk!

Are you kidding me? After all the crap that he pulled in the Olympics followed by the crap he pulled with that videotape of him hanging out with those Baltimore street thugs? This guy is a class A jerkoff. Fitting that K Mart plays right along side him.

[Leetonidas]

K-Mart, Melo, and Buckner should all get suspended.

[E20]

They're all sucky overrated players who think they're gangstas but suck ass.

[Dre_7]

Chill chill, Melo is the only one who should get suspended.

[Dre_7]

They were trying to get Manu back for his halftime comments about the Denver D.

[myhc]

So I guess Melo isn't going to be welcome any time soon in Argentina?

:spin

[PM5K]

You have to love Manu, he takes a licking and keeps on ticking, he's totally fearless. If he needed to score again on the next play he'd drive right in again.

Other teams need to realize that fouling him hard has no impact on his decision to go hard to the basket......

[Dre_7]

Other teams need to realize that fouling him hard has no impact on his decision to go hard to the basket......

But injuring him does keep him out the game. They were prolly trying to keep him out of game 4 so the have a better chance of winning it.

[TwoHandJam]

They're all sucky overrated players who think they're gangstas but suck ass.
Bingo.

[HEAVY-D]

you're right SA but if you look closely martin didnt get his shot in because anthony beat him to it. i wouldnt be at all surprised if george karl put them up to this.Word. Pulling the old Buddy Ryan, eh...very clever....but it didn't work Karl. It just sealed the deal and now you may be minus one budding superstar.

[CHAMPS AGAIN]

K-Mart, Melo, and Buckner should all get suspended.

I don't like K-MART,but Melo and Buckner should get suspended.David Stern and the NBA will not suspend Melo

[vincerodriguez23]

i think melo will get fined, maybe martin, johnson, or buckner, but there will be no suspensions. i will be a little suprised if there were suspensions

[samikeyp]

That is why Melo will NEVER be a champion in this league. He wanted to be an All-Star? All-Stars don't pull that cheap bullshit. He just needs to shut his Juwanna Mann lookin', bitch ass up.

[Dre_7]

Did Walker get suspended for the forearm against J Oneal?

[infinite styles]

Did Walker get suspended for the forearm against J Oneal?

No he got suspended for pushing the official out of the way to get to the other official.

[Dre_7]

Ok, thats what I thought. Too lazy to look it up. lol

[baseline bum]

Carmella went from looking like a bitch to finally becoming one. Maybe he'll get the Carter/Kobe foot under the jumpshot treatment next game. :)

[Obstructed_View]

I'll be shocked if any of them get fined. Buckner was lucky his two teammates threw harder elbows than he did because it would have been his second flagrant. Sad that they have so little class, but that's what bad defensive teams do (See: Juwan Howard)

[Supergirl]

Isn't a flagrant 2 automatic suspension?

[Obstructed_View]

Did they call Carmello for a flagrant 2 or did they just eject him? It's the ref's call. They can eject you for any reason. Brent Musburger wasn't exactly communicating what was going on in the game.

[GoSpurs21]

why are you surprised melo has always looked like a bitch....especially with the Bo Derek haircut? The only reason he won the NCAA championship was the lack of competition in the NCAA (best players couldnt pass SATs and left for NBA).

k-mart has been a punk ever since arriving from Cinninatti high...any one else notice his fade in the 03 finals?

[slayermin]

Anyone notice that Carmelo is prettier than his mom?

I know I'm being mean, but tell me I'm lying.

:lol

[mattyc]

Melo is a dumbass. plain and simple.

[td4mvp21]

Melo is a punk. Martins a punk. Johnson and Buckner are punks. I am very surprised at this. Denver was my second fav. team but now that I see how they play, I don't like them at all. Carmelo surprised me on the last play. I didn't think he was like that.

[LilMissSPURfect]

this is one i had to put my 2 cents in...

ok...when buckner swang his elbows at manu[no contact] to clear room...it was a no call. why? isn't that a technical foul...(i remember they calling a technical foul on bowen for the same thing during the season)???


robert horry and kmart gettiing into puching,shoving match ...why wasn't it a double tech? [like when bowen and carter got into that little head bumping match] ?

kmart already had a tech..this second one he woulda been ejected right?........

[IX_Equilibrium]

Brent Musburger wasn't exactly communicating what was going on in the game.


That's because he sucks.

[Tobias]

According to Elliott, they called a Flagrant 2

[picnroll]

In the Dallas - Spurs playoff series in 2003 Raja Bell threw a clearout elbow at Parker just like the one Buckner threw last night. Bell got called for the foul, went nuts and got hit with a T.

[sickdsm]

LOL, funny when the wolves played the nuggs last year everyone here pointed to the wolves as the reason there was bad blood between the two.

[2centsworth]

What do you guys expect from someone who made a movie called"KIll all the snitches".

I think the guy wants to be some kinda gang banger or something.

If this was an IQ between the spurs and nuggets the spurs would have won going away in game one, but I guess we'll have to settle for kicking their ass in 5.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Section X-Swinging of Elbows

A player shall not be allowed excessive and/or vigorous swinging of the elbows in a swinging motion (no contact). When a defensive player is nearby and the offensive player has the ball, it is considered a violation.

PENALTY: Loss of ball. The ball is awarded to the opponent at the sideline, nearest the spot of the violation. If the violation occurs on a throw-in, the game clock shall not be started.


Looks like they screwed that one up.


On 'Melo's punk ass move: if the league deems it a punch, he's suspended. I'll be surprised if Stern has the balls for it.

And what's gonna suck is one of the three dickheads (Bucker, Melo, KMart) is going to jack Manu on Monday night.

I just hope that we've got Nazr in there to put whichever sorry fucker does it down for the count.

[T Park]

I think the "T Mass" will be seeing minutes monday night.....

[beirmeistr]

I think Melo should be MnM and that stands for Marshmellow.

[Bandit2981]

Did it bother anyone else that no one on the Spurs came to Manu's defense? The guy got clobbered, and no one even got in the face or shoved a Denver player. That kind of softness really angers me, since Manu was the only reason we won and the only one on the team that brings his nuts to every single game...If 3 Spurs had clobbered Anthony like that, you can bet at least Kenyon would have gotten up in someone. Show some backbone for your fellow player dammit!!

[CosmicCowboy]

yeah right...lets start a brawl and get half our closing unit suspended... :rolleyes

Spurs are pros and play like pros...they will make their rebuttal statement where it counts in game 4...

[Bandit2981]

i didnt say start a brawl now did i? antoine walker stood up for his teammate when jermaine o'neal threw an elbow at him, and he got suspended for pushing the ref, not his defense of a teammate. it would have been a technical foul at worst for yelling at someone to let them know that kind of shit has no place in the game

That foul put the game out of reach, why do something to give them a chance at a miracle?

Leave the tough acting antics to the blazers and twolves. Spurs do their share of knocking people around during the games.

[Dre_7]

The guy got clobbered, and no one even got in the face or shoved a Denver player.

Cuz they all ran to see if Manu was okay! His health is more important then pushing Melo or KMart.

Go watch fucking baseball or hockey where they do that loser "payback" shit. You're probably one of those people that thought David Robinson was soft because he didn't bitch or start fights when he got fouled.

Ginobili got his two free throws and the ball, and his team got the win. What good does escalating it do? The Spurs aren't thinking about the Nuggets, they are thinking three rounds past the Nuggets, so what good is it getting someone hurt by brawling with an inferior team? Once again, physical doesn't mean dirty, and being tough means maintaining your composure. If you are bothered that a team doesn't respond to everything then you should watch the Pacers or the Nuggets. Maybe the Devil Rays would be more your style.

[EasilyAmused]

Thank You!!

If you go back and see that play, everyone on the Spurs bench is looking at Manu- they were concerned! If I remember correctly Devin even extends his arms to hold the guys back (but because they look like they want to go to Manu) but Duncan and Bowen are there to make sure he is okay.

[SpursFanDan]

Melo' is eager to get home to his chick.. Lala, he cant wait to hit that.

sigh. i never said anything about fighting or getting into a brawl. i dont consider sticking up vocally for a teammate that just got clobbered thuggish. i didnt ask for a punch to be thrown, but sometimes someone has to step up and be vocal about such plays. once again, since you cant seem to read or comprehend, sticking up for someone does NOT equal a fist fight!

[FromWayDowntown]

Bandit I see what you're saying, but I don't really see what good that does. If you step up and start talking, you're admitting that it may have affected your team. In doing that, I think you end up giving Denver some slight advantage in thinking that excessively-physical play might distract the Spurs -- might get them thinking more about responding than about playing the game.

The retributive side of me says that something should have been done, but the practical side appreciates the Spurs' poise. I think

Nice take first of all Bandit, I heard a similar question tonight on News 4's sports email segment. Was this you, or a biter from in here??

In response to your question quoted above;

I believe that we're too smart of a team overall to respond to that frustrated response to being beaten Denver displayed. In other words, it just shows the Spurs got to them.

So to deal with it, the only way idiots do; Denver bitched, cried and committed a blatant frustration filled flagrant foul on our Latino MJ, Mr Manu Ginobili; a hoop god in the making.

For those who believe this title is too bold of a statment when referring to Ginobili; name me five players that affect the game on both end's of the court as/more effectively.

The playoffs are win or go home and any reason to get the ref's against us on the road is ridiculous.

Now, don't get me wrong; Personally, I would have loved for Bruce to throw a right cross to carmella's(name doesnt deserve caps) neck bone to back Manu up. But that's thinking like Denver and responding to stupidity.

Now, Personally, when I see that I am getting to someone on the court and frustrating them, it's entertainingly funny to watch someone complain and bitch about their impending demise which isn't in their hands, as they had initially believed. Same goes for Denver. The Spurs knew at that point the game was over and by retaliating, it may have risked allowing Denver back in the game. We couldn't have that.

[samikeyp]

At the time...I wanted blood...heat of the moment though. I would have liked someone to have said something but not take anyone out. The ultimate revenge, however, will be a series victory.

[texbumTHElife]

Exactly why we should have kept Willis. Some bows would have been thrown.

[carolgino]

i was really surprised when i saw this..
i thought Melo was not a punk before..

[Obstructed_View]

Yeah, okay dipshit. Here's what you actually said:


The guy got clobbered, and no one even got in the face or shoved a Denver player.

Shoving equals fighting.

Now which one of us can't read or comprehend? :lol

[spursfan05]

i kind of agree with bandit. im not one for fighting but at least get up in there face and throw up some gang signs or something for godsake

[Obstructed_View]

Living well is the best revenge. The Spurs are looking to win a championship. The Nuggets are a speed bump on that road. Getting into a staredown or a shouting match with them is beneath the Spurs.

[spursfan05]

Sorry i disagree 100%. Beneath the spurs? We arnt the pope and i hope this team doenst look at the nuggets as a speed bump. You take a team lightly and your going to get upset. Manu is the heart and soul of this team. In game 3 duncan and parker didnt feel like playing and manu put us on his back and neary gets his face broken. Somebody shouldve stuck up for him. I sure as hell would have

[spurs_naby20]

kenyon martin sucks

Taking a team lightly is a completely different issue from allowing an inferior team to force you into a fight, which is the only way they can win a seven game series against the Spurs. If Duncan and Parker don't feel like playing then someone needs to light their asses up. If an NBA team doesn't prepare for its opponent, they deserve to lose, but the Spurs should absolutely not allow this series to degenerate into a soccer fan riot.

you're going way overboard...no one is advocating starting a riot or a huge brawl, but rather to just get up in someones face, give a chest bump, let them know that they cant just knock the shit out of one of our players and get a free pass. both teams know how much is at stake and wouldnt start fighting, but the intensity level of both teams would definitly go up(which is what the spurs seem to be lacking except for Manu), and i'll still take a juiced spurs team over a juiced nuggets team anyday

[Obstructed_View]

We'll just have to wait and see what happens tonight.

I've noticed Manu would walk a way from a confrontation even with Boykins. But nobody can question his courage. Similar w/the rest of the Spurs.
