Bill Simmons' feelings for Isiah are well documented... i wouldn't look to him to get any fair & objective analysis on the situation... you mine as well reference islesfan
tim, santa monica: how is it isiah doesnt get suspended? is a lack of evidence the problem. everything ive read says he was verbally threatening anthony. also, how does this incident further cement his place as worst gm/coach in the league/history?
people who get their reports from things they've only read & haven't seen aren't the best sources to go to when it comes to judging a situation objectively... anyone who saw the exchange between Carmelo & Isiah, both of whom were smiling, could tell you that it was a lighthearted exchange between these 2 guys... Spike Lee just went on the air before w/SAS & said he was jawing w/Melo too about him being on the floor just before that happened & Melo laughed it off... to say that Isiah was threatening Carmelo when he said "stay out of the paint" is reaching for excuses to lay blame where it doesn't really belong... Isiah & Melo obviously share a good relationship, as can be seen when Isiah approached Melo after the fight & talked with the guy... if he was threatening him do you think Melo would want to talk to Isiah afterwards? please... enough
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.
