Stern cracks the whip!

Again, I agree 100%. It's right there on film where Thomas is warning Anthony not to go in the lane. Yet he gets nothing. And for Thomas and Robinson to talk about how they weren't going to let the Nuggets embarrass them in front of their home fans was a joke too. Collins did the same thing in a blowout loss to Indiana when Indiana's star players weren't in the game. If the Knicks want to not be embarrassed on their home court, they should try playing better. That might help. Stop being behind by 20 every game and teams won't have the chance to embarrass u. Isiah Thomas is a punk and always has been a punk. Can't even coach his own team and is worried about how another guy coaches his.

they shouldnt even have pro basketball anymore, all that is left is thugs. anthony punches like a girl. you see that punch he threw? looked like a 9 year old girl.

I love Pro B-Ball but I think all the players should have been fined a % of their salary. I would say 25% would be perfect. I think each of them should sit out 20 games. Thomas needs to go. Granted I have respect for him because he did got to IU, but he is a disgrace. He should be banned from coaching for the year.

Biggest city in America sure has an f'd up basketball team.How did all this happen? How is it the Knicks have the talent of an expansion team? I mean this(the thug activity) would have never happened if the Knicks had some game.

Folks this is the second time Isiah has threatened and opposing player. He threatened Bruce Bowen, told him he would have his players break his foot... Its not like this is the first time for Isiah. Isiah did apoligize and said he was totally out of line. Of course Popovich told Isiah to shut the f ck up and go talk to your own players, not mine. They almost got into it.

And it is absolutely amazing how bad the Knicks have screwed themselves up.

George Karl just reamed Isiah. Called him a number of expletives on camera.
Also a hothead. When coaches get going at each other like this a good deal of time after said event... no wonder their teams have control problems.

Thats two bad losses by Utah DaHoss. Jerry Sloan is also a bit of a hard a ss. Interesting how these teams reflect their coaches. I bet Isiah remembers Karl Malone pretty well after he got his face smashed. Somewhere along the line that pure anger needs to get focused into something useful on the court.

Michael Jordan got that done.

Two different sports.
