I agree the personal stuff should be off limits but when you wait by a bus and show how unrattled you were during the season you put everyone on notice your skin is thin....

Same with Novak....Nate's bustin arse(DDC) in the playoffs while Novak is getting by via.... *(see footnote below)

i don't know.... dressing in black for a celtic funeral before the game? classy?

What does that have to do with talking about someone's family....Because its the playoffs, I would let it slide for now, but best believe, on a random tuesday in august, while Crawford is working out in a random gym, I'm sening a couple of goons to check him....

why would you do that? carmelo is a bigger target than crawford... I mean who knows who jordan crawford is anyway.. plus he can do the same thing, the guy earns enough money to get someone to go after carmelo.. I mean are we going to turn this into a mafia war? it is just silly.. I would ignore crawford, as someone said to me, why are they saying this stuff now? why not during the offseason or any other time? well it is because they know it gets under the knicks skin.. which is why I said carmelo waiting by the bus was a HUGE mistake.. but a big target on his back..

Thats a legit point but its not like Melo was playing all that great that game anyway. Still I dont understand why more isnt being made out of how low it is to talk sh** about someones wife. All I hear on tv is that the Knicks should know the Celtics do this stuff.

well first of all I guess they have to be sure that is being said.. it seems like a lot of this stuff isn't accurate.. all we know is that some jawing is going on.....

The exact verbiage from Jordan Crawford was "Dat muhphuker phucked yo wife."

Melo is balling? Shooting 30% in back to back losses. OK. I just hope this means hes 'due'

How many games has the Knicks played or are u just a glass half full kind of guy??

I do understand that trash talk is part of all sports, and part of gamesmanship.. but if you cross the line talking about someone's family, doesn't it ever occur that I may end up on the same team as this cat? what would you tell him? talking about your wife was just part of the game? really?

I have thought the same thing after seeing players spaz out over this or that. You guys might be cubical neighbors next season dude. How ironic would it be for JCrawford to get his ass handed to him in training camp.

I couldn't care less whether it's the playoffs or not, leave derogatory comments about a players family should be left out of the game. I really wish it did get caught on audio over a national broadcast so they could do something about it. What if it was your wife, mother, sister or daughter that was being said about. As a woman, I wouldn't appreciate having my reputation dragged through the mud, regardless of how famous or wealthy I was. It's pretty f'ed up how they have to keep dragging Melo's family into it...especially when you think about his son Kiyan. It's probably very difficult for them as parents to keep this stuff from Kiyan when it's all over the papers and the internet and surely his school.

I remember there was even an incident a couple of years back in at a Nuggets @ Mavericks game where the people sitting around her and Kiyan were shouting racial slurs at them. How does it suddenly become ok to say such hateful things to people in the name of sports... much less to children?

There have been incidents where the media have heavily scrutinized athletes for using a certain derogatory f-word (see Kobe, Amar'e etc...) ...why should derogatory language towards women or a players family be acceptable?

Boston must be defeated

Good for her- insulting family members and wives is crossing the line, keep them out of it

Looking through the comments, it's amazing how ridiculously stupid most people are on the internet. Spelling, logic, common decency are all lacking. Makes you appreciate this place/site.

And phuck Boston and their horrible fans and their horrible players. No wonder RayRay wanted out of that mess.
