New York Knicks' owner James Dolan reportedly order several MSG employees to record every word said by Carmelo Anthony in Friday's game against the Bulls.

Dolan wanted the tape from the game sent directly to him.

Anthony was suspended for Thursday's game following his altercation earlier in the week with Kevin Garnett.

Even as much as I dislike Melo and think he's still a mental midget I wouldn't resort to tactics like this. Not sure what Dolan's motive is here. There hasn't been anything I can discern that suggest Melo is a target of NBA players for trash talk. When reflecting on the validity of this story it makes you think back to the Frank Isola piece on Dolan stationing Garden officials throughout the arena stalking reporters and fans being thrown out of the arena for excessive booing and unfavorable sign making. Dolan is a very Bizarre owner all the way around.

Do you seriously believe the only thing being picked up on the mic is what melo says? You guys are slow.

Maybe I am wrong, but what I got from it is Dolan is actually trying to hear the type of trash talk that is being said to melo. My guess is that if he picks up something like what KG said he would send it to the NBA to have the player suspended. KG never gets suspended because its hard to prove exactly what he says.

I dont know man I think that would set a dangerous precedent

Yeah but isnt Cuban sending in video tapes of fouls and/or missed calls? Same with Ferry. I dont know what Dolan plans to do with audio of things said on the court but I also dont think much can be done about it once its sent to the NBA unless he catches some refs saying some things they shouldnt.

I dont know if you watched the game yesterday but i distinctly heard the refs tell Melo and Woodson to "shut up", in those exact words.

Cuban send in "unfair treatment" Ferry sent something that was a blatant rule violation that the ref allowed.

I did watch but I didnt hear that. Was that when Breen kept talking about how the ref was saying "enough!" to Tyson and JR?

I may have misread your post but I thought you were saying that Dolan wants to send in audio tapes of the trash talking to goes on. If you're actually talking about the officials and all that then I already agree with you.
