that foul by mardy was the 2nd in back to back blowout losses. this is not an isolated incident. i feel bad for mardy.

I'm working on a nickname here, something along the lines of "the patsy", or better yet...

Oswald.

Random question for you guys.

If a brawl occurs and the whole teams bench runs onto the court during the brawl, meaning all 7-10 guys who werent on the court are going to get suspended. NOW, say one guy who was on the court when the brawl started gets a suspension. Would that mean the team would have to forfeit since the team would only have 4 players available, or has the NBA setup rules against that so there are no forfeits?

I think if you have less than 8 players in uniform to start the game, you automatically forfeit.

If that ever happened, the team could sign a bunch of guys to ten day contracts to at least play the game.

That already happened, didn't it? Miami-NY series.

It was in two batches, one game couple of guys, next game others. And on both nights we had a minimum number of players.

True, but if that many players got suspended, could you fit enough ten day contracts on the roster to make the 15 man rotation? Not sure what the league would do in that case.

Nebs, I was thinking that but I wasn't sure. I think you're right about this though.

That's a good point. The league would likely try to avoid automatic forfeits, as its not financially saavy, and instead, spread the penalty around so the team will inevitably lose more games.

You're right. The suspensions are staggered with the team able to suit up the minimum.

Yeah I mean why not put Jerome James or Cato out there to do this type of dirty assignment? His suspension is the one I'm most interested in because I feel the Knicks have something in store for them down the road, that is, if they should so happen to blow out a team again.

Melo deserves 20 games for that vagina maneuver & for pulling Frye to the floor & standing over him trying to act tough (that coulda escalated into something big too)

Nate & JR should get 10 for going at each other (& btw, JR's the one who charged at Nate & he also snuck a little stomach punch into Nate when he was being pulled off him, so he's equally to blame as Nate in all this)

Mardy should get 5 games for the foul & for jawing w/JR & Melo which made things worse

Jefferies should get 1 game only, but i'm sure Stern will make him an example & give him at least 5... he didn't do anything wrong IMO & was trying to break up the fight before Mardy got sucker punched.

Cato will probably get 1 game for being on the floor during the scrum.

damn you guys are harsh

let's not blow this up bigger than what it is.

Melo shouldn't get 3...NO MORE than 5
JR smith should get 1 because he threw a punch
Nate should get 2-3 for instigating
and Mardy should get ZERO. Unless the league is suspending players for Flagrant fouls now.

league should consider taking pay away from suspensions....

Are you SERIOUS? 3 games for blatantly punching someone in the FACE? After the fighting did down?
1 game for throwing a punch and tackling a player into the first couple of rows of the crowd?
2-3 for instigating this whole thing?

Go look at some precedents set, particularly the ones from the Palace incident.

But then again what do I know, I probably never played organized sports. You would know, right?

I am very serious.

The only Sports writer that seems to have a "level" head on all this is Marc Stein

This was no where CLOSE to the fight at the Palace so please stop comparing the two.

You had some ghetto punks getting into it, they get what they deserve it was a hard foul by Mardy but nothing that serious, people are going crazy over it I just don't understand it was a hard foul......

Nate started the whole thing by being Nate......JR tried to sucker punch Nate when they were cleared, these guys are a bunch of pussies especially anthony who throws a sucker punch and retreats...

I think you will See
Isiah 3 games for being the biggest disgrace in NBA history for one Franchise......
-I don't care if Karl was embarrassing Isiah for Larry, it was well deserved, your at home and shouldn't be getting pounded again.....
-Leave it to Isiah after a win against the Hawks to say he has an all world defender in the making and the knicks are headed towards a title in a few years, god this guy doesn't learn

Melo 10 games at least for reigniting the whole thing

Nate is getting 5, he started the whole thing through a slap bunch, ran to mid court and was nothing but Nate after the game instead of taking the high road which the Nuggets did "No Comment" instead of expalining the situation, hey coach you want to make the situation worse, try coaching your players to shut their mouths

JR Smith 5 games, he is a player this league does not need, he is dumb dunk that should stay with the street game, because he is braindead thug

Collins 2 games any more its a joke

Jefferies is getting 3, i love that he came to the defense of Collins, which is what should have been done after that sucker punch, but he would have killed Carmelo had he not been tackled and that court would have become a boxing ring

So to Review
Season tickets down 15%
Pending Sexual harrassment suit
No winning season
No Televised games
Laughing stock of the league
Threatening players

Its been a good three years for Isiah

i think he woulda got his bell rung & knocked the F out running after Melo like that & swinging his arms the way he was by 1 of Melo's teammates... he's probably lucky he got held back... not saying i didn't like that he was sticking up for his teammate, but when you're so emotional & charging in like that, you're going to get hit hard.
