Look at Denvers last 5-6 games. Have not been all too pretty.

Road record sucks also.

HIs team is up 17 and your sending out your starters. Not all that bad if you think about it.

Bad teams have to do this.

This is a pretty pathetic apology for Karl leaving his starters in. Wonder if you would accept a similar rationale from Isiah, had he given it in the opposite position. Isiah was wrong and so was Karl. Neither gets a pass.

pathetic? with 4:26 the score was 114-96. Obviously 18 points is a lot but teams can rip off a 10-0 run in 90 seconds, but forget about the Knicks chances. Lets talk about Karl's "pathetic" running up of the score, and count how many shot attempts they took
5:01 JR SMith misses 3 pointer
4:35 Earl Boykins misses jumper
4:13 JR Smith makes 2 point shot
3:34 JR Smith fouled (makes 1 of 2)
2:51 Miller makes layup
2:06 Frye blocks Carlmello's attempt
1:34 Miller misses jumper
1:31 Camby fouled on offensive rebound (no shot attempt)
1:15 Mardy's foul and fight

so over a 4 minutes span the Nuggets make 7 shot attempts. WOW

Karl was really imflating that total.

You guys kill me

There is a code about running up the score in the NBA...Much like there is a code in baseball if you steal a base in the ninth when you are up by 10 runs...Look to get beaned...Please don't put lipstick on this pig...

To run up the score you'd have to actually keep shooting. Please explain the Nuggets milking the shotclock in the 2 possessions leading up to the fight. They waited until the shotclock was under 5 seconds before looking to shoot.

But why recognize the truth when fiction is so much more inflammatory.

So what would you say if Isiah used the same argument Karl did for keeping his players in if the roles were reversed? You, honestly, would be ok with him being worried about his players psyche from blowing a lead?

How is it the rest of the globe thinks Karl was trying to send a message and you Isiah haters doesn't think so??..Hmmmm

was the message to his own starters to close out games? The rest of the globe? Are you serious? Aside from you and like 4 other guys the "rest of the globe" pretty much thinks Isiah is the worst GM in all pro sports right now.

Lets talk about basketball knowledge. When a team dribbles out 20 seconds of every possesion they have its called killing the clock. This is done to accelerate an already determined outcome.

Also something thats common is for the team thats getting killed to empty their bench, while the team thats winning leaves in veteran ball handlers to avoid stupid mistakes and turnovers.

not how many shots, the kind of shots they were taking, their attitude and demeanor on the floor. You could find all kind of stats to back you up, the truth is they were showboating and trash talking while they were doing it. You fail to mention that, running the clock down could be done by earl boykins or somme one else. Both coaches were wrong, the fact that you decide to find excuses for Karl is simply ridiculous.

Assiah should be embarrassed. It's his fault the team was down 20 at HOME to begin with because he's the man that put this roster together, while blaming fans ex-coaches and the salary crap. Take your punishment and get the hell out from my favorite team.

Reggie Miller on right now, he says that Karl was trying to run the score up...he also says that Isiah put Marty in to retaliate..he said he played for both coaches...he says they are both old schools type coaches...They both knew what was going down...Karl was trying to embarrass Isiah and the Knicks and Isiah was trying to retaliate...

well if Reggie Miller said it it must be true.

Maybe if the Knicks had the talent to compete on a nightly basis we could be talking about the standings or whatever it is people with winning teams talk about
