oh, for crying out loud.
i wish tyrus thomas would have just knocked those two little jokers' heads together.
when will the knicks figure out that stunts like this just compound their embarrassment?
The Knicks thought the Bulls acted indecently by running up the score in the final minutes in an attempt to reach a 100-point promotion that would have given its fans free Big Macs. After the final buzzer, it got uglier. Nate Robinson and Steve Francis were restrained by Isiah Thomas as they were trying to go after Tyrus Thomas.

I don't get what the big deal is. Is see them getting mad if they did it in NY, but they were just trying to get the fans a free big mac.
I can see why the bulls were close to a hundred way they wanted to get 100
grow up knicks
And even then, if you dont want a team to score, play some ing defense. And I think the Knicks scored like 68 points in that game, they have no room to complain about
Big Macs Anger Knicks

Chicago Tribune -
Several Knick players accused the Bulls of trying to run up the score in the Bulls' 98-69 blowout win in an attempt to hit the century mark, the Chicago Tribune is reporting. Should the Bulls score 100 points, they provide free Big Macs for the crowd.
Steve Francis and Nate Robinson got in the faces of Bulls rookies Tyrus Thomas and Thabo Sefolosha as the final buzzer sounded. As the teams then retreated to their locker rooms, teammates had to restrain Knicks center Jerome James from going after Thomas.
The brawl earlier in the season between the Knicks and the Denver Nuggets also started after Knick players felt disrespected by J.R. Smith's high flying antics with Denver holding a large lead.
"I know when people are trying to run up the score on you," Francis said. "I told their players that if I was in the game, it would've been something different. I won't do that to nobody and I don't expect nobody to try to do that to the younger players on my team."
"I don't care about the Big Mac. I'm just saying respect, man. Their coach played in the NBA before. He should know that. If somebody did that to him, I'm pretty sure he would be upset."
Bulls coach Scott Skiles, speaking before Francis did, had no problem with his team missing three three-pointers, an alley-oop attempt from Chris Duhon to Thomas and a layup attempt off a rebound in the final 64 seconds after hitting 98 points.
"If we had 92 points with two minutes to go and we're out there jacking threes all over the place, I could see that," Skiles said. "But at the end to shoot the ball and try to tip it in, I've never been accused by anybody of trying to run up the score."
Pressed further, Skiles finally turned sarcastic.
"From everything I hear, they're on the verge of being a great team," Skiles said. "It ought to be a team we should be playing over and over again in the years to come. So something like this shouldn't fester or anything."
ha...skiles...that won't sit well.
Good point francis, since knicks were getting blown out anyway with you on the court.
I bet Isiah had something to with this. This is the 2nd time the Knicks was involved in this because a team was supposedly "running" up the score. I hope they get blasted from everybody with this situation and I hope they enjoy the Bulls play on in the playoffs while they sit and watch them with the rest of us.
The Thomas', uh, I mean knicks are such ing pussies.
This is the NBA you stupid mother s. If you don't like teams beating the out of you, learn how play hard the whole game and stop them yourselves.
What the heck? Francis and Robinson going after a team with BEN WALLACE on it? They out of their damn minds.
The Knicks are...well...the Knicks. I am upset because they offered Big Macs. I don't like Big Macs. I want a bean burrito from Taco Bell instead.

i'd watch out for e coli and rat meat in that burrito, efrem..
Isiah and the Knicks
Tyrus Thomas always seems to be in the middle of stuff, doesn't he. He seems like a bit of a punk.
next years teams should focus to "run up the score" on the knicks... oh wait, they dont have to focus for that.
i'm so embarrassed about my *other* team, i really hate nate and francis, get rid of them already...that last comment by skiles was funny and right on
If this was high school, I might have something to say about it. However, there have been worse blowouts in the NBA THIS YEAR and the other team said nothing. , talk to the Sonics about playing the Spurs, even they have kept quiet.
Besides, whining about a team running up the score on you is point-blank admitting that they CAN run the score up on you anytime they want. It's like saying, "I know we suck so take it easy on us."
I hope the Knicks go 0-82 next season. They don't belong in the NBA with comments like that. Wow, the Bulls are SO much better at hoop than the Knicks that the Knick players have to fight them to get any respect back? Ewing is rolling over in his Imperial-sized bed.
haha, Knicks are such ing sore losers.
How embarassing.
98 points and trying to go for one more is nothing. lame ass losers.
Cry me a ing river.
Bam! Exactly right. Isiah Thomas's little act has totally worn thin with me. He's such a little crybaby , taking all the losing personally. Maybe if he hadn't done such a horrendous job putting the team together, they wouldn't get into fights over this sort of thing. Some player is going to get hurt playing against the Knicks because Isiah isn't right in the head enough to accept defeat.
You meanies! Just wait 'til Isiah makes the Knicks a good t...uh...nevermind
Hey, Francis, STFU and play. If you don't want someone to score on you, play defense. Tell your teammates the same thing. It's this at ude that has sent you from being a franchise player to being the World's Biggest Loser.
Francis is pathetic. I can't believe how far he has fallen since he started in Houston.
