Um, wait, so is the player a ing robot or what? The players are still the ones who went out and committed the flagrant and participated in the confrontation.
They're all guilty, and they should all be punished.
He was going after Carmelo. This was right after Melo punched whoever it was in the face.HOLY ! I just saw it on ESPN News.
What was up with Jared Jeffries? He was running towards a Nuggets player despite team-mates holding him back so hard that his shirt almost ripped!
This is a pretty run-of-the-mill brawl by 80's-early 90's standards. I say give Melo 10 games and everyone else 2.
Isiah has been a to everyone everywhere he has been in the NBA.
You're actually the one who brought up what I would do. The point being, Isiah was a to him. There's no love lost here for Larry Brown from me, but it doesn't excuse the fact Isiah is a complete .
Wake up man, he's been that way everywhere he's been. And then there was the whole Bowen incident earlier this year.
Quit trying to defend him ducks, he's a complete asshat and I'd love to see Stern throw the book at his chump ass.
Carmelo hits Collins then runs the out of MSG after Jared Jefferies comes for him. Boy is Melo a pussy.
Since Jackson can you think of a Spur that is likely to have reacted like Smith? Or Melo? Big Dog Robinson just threw a guy and for a flagrant one and Pop benched him for the game. Any Spur acted like Collins, Smith, Robinson, Melo, Jeffries and the league wouldn't have to worry about suspending them. Pop would put their ass on reserves for the season.
Except that time has passed, and the Malice at the Palace has occurred.
Yep. But he'll probably be shooting another 'snitch' video with his upcoming 'company vacation' time.
Pop would have just ed at Karl himself.
I think Bowen would have reacted strongly. Finley as well. I don't enough about Elson yet, but I suspect he has some of that in him.
Agreed. And I suspect Butler would have come off the bench as well.
Ex, I don't think you're realizing the difference between going after a fan and hitting another player. Stern doesn't have unlimited power. If he tried to suspend Melo for 30 games or so, they Players Association would have a field day and it would be reduced.
Butler looks like he could some up.
Are you ing kidding me?
Like a little ? The saddest s I saw on the in brawl included the Nuggets... First of all.... JR Smith goes for Nate... wtf? He has like a 2 foot advantage on him n ...
And that Sucker punch by Melo...
Nuggets better get the best of this.
I'm surprised no one is On Jr smith, he threw the very first punch.
eh...I've seen better fights on Jerry Springer. NBA players need to watch and take notes.
ugh r u kidding me?
U dont think melo went 'crap i shouldnt keep going or else im gone for a long time' at that point?
Jeffries? gimme a freakin; break, Jeffries is a skinny pale girl who would have been slapped around by boykins if need be
By the way, for those who say this is 'run of the mill'. They took out fans in the first two rows of the crowd. LONG suspensions are coming on this one.
I don't think you realize the effect that event had on the league. Stern has suspended two players for the season, Spree and Artest. The PA has made whining, snivelling noises, but they know he'll take it out on them the next time the CBA comes up if they contest it. They are his es.
Stern owns. If he suspends Melo, it will stick.
But this wasn't that. Not even close. There's no need for overkill.
I think that by trying to prevent fights from ever happening, you invite BIGGER brawls when they do happen because of all of the pent-up aggression.
Collins instigated it and Nate came in , end of story
Collins and JR should have been left alone but Nate came in and shoved JR, he is a
He has small man syndrome, Boykins could school that clown
I'll bet Pop shows the team tapes of crap like this, the Pistons - Pacer brawl and desensistizes them to making dumb emotional responses that can hurt them and the team, short and long term. Spurs are truly professionals not emotional dumbasses. Granted Finley's first reaction was to go after Terry for the nut shot but the Spurs, Bowen, were immediately on the lookout, grabbed him instantly and talked him down. Their coolness ended in the Mavs playing without Terry in the next game. A little different than say Robinson or Jeffries defusing actions.
We need a vBookie on this, LJ/Kori. I'll put every dollar on Melo suspended for the season, or whatever the highest value is. Make it quick, though. I think it won't be Monday, it'll be tommorrow.
No, he went "Crap, I just slapped a guy in Madison Square Garden, he's going to rip my ing head off."U dont think melo went 'crap i shouldnt keep going or else im gone for a long time' at that point?
