Knicks-Nuggets brawl

[BIG ISLAND DUDE]

Does anyone know where I can see the Basketbrawl, I have been looking around on the www and I cant seem to find it. Maybe some one knows where it can be seen?? Its not on youtube yet.

It's been all over ESPN and some other channels. There is definately going to be some suspentions as there should be!

Here's the video: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/story?columnist=sheridan_chris&id=2699963

A couple things to ponder:

1. Why were the Denver starters still playing?

2. Did Isiah Thomas warn Melo about a forthcoming hard foul as retribution for the Nuggets showing him up? (as has been reported)

3. Did you see Carmello's sucker punch - AND how he ran away like a litle girl after he landed it? What a big man!

What a bunch of overpaid thugs. This gives the NBA a bad name.

Ronnie Artest would mop the floor with those clowns.

Thanks for the link.

NBA basketball is like many others say. A bunch of overpaid thugs, gangsters and drug users. College isnt much better. You can take the thug out of the hood but you cant take the hood out of the thug!

Division 3 basketball is fun to watch but thats about it these days.

Isiah is a clown. The only GM worse than McHale, although Billy King is right up there for getting rid of Iverson...How he isn't fired yet by NY's owner I don't know. A bad coach and a bad GM...double whammy.

This is one reason I don't watch b-ball anymore. It's all about self-proclamation and a "look at me" attitude. Not many, if any, teams out there anymore. Plus, it's all about slam dunks, yelling out loud and beating their chest to say "you see that...that was me...I just did that" type of thing.

This brawl is just another hole in the cofen for professional b-ball IMO.

the NBA has always had a history of brawls - this is nothing new in terms of the physical violence. (Krmit Washington, Barkley, thr Bad Boys . . .even good ol' John Stockton was a dirty player

However, it seems that there is a difference in how they erupt nowadays. Instead of tough physical play getting out of control, it is ego driven bravada that leads up to the melees. (Just my opinion)

Until team ball is back in vogue, this type of problem won't go away.

David Stern and company laid out a very quick and punitive suspension for one of the NBA's star players. I think he should get credit for this. . . . though I think the NBA should just show footage of Carmello running away after his sucker punch on the big screen several times during the game. Wish he would move that fast on defense! Any stret credibility he had, or thought he had, is gone!

Basscatcher I agree with exactly what you said. Those are the exact same reasons I hate watching pros now. I would much rather go to a local HS game.

My thoughts exactly!! Truly pathetic!!

I agree pro ball is a joke, thank goodness for college hoops!

Didn't even look like a punch. More like an open-handed slap. I thought only girls slap?
