They're not random samples, so the results aren't particularly meaningful.

Oh, right... so you're saying you don't like the results. Sorry, buddy.

I don't care either way. If Isiah is fired tonight, I'm fine with it as long as Dolan hires someone better.

But I know something about polling and sampling techniques, and self-selected participants don't necessarily yield representative results.

anyone who compares this brawl to the Pacers taking on the entire Palace is freaking insane, I'm sorry. watch the video of that again, it's still on youtube. the Pacers were punched or punched others like 20 times. gimme a break.

the thing about this brawl is that our coach/gm/president basically instigated it by telling his player to commit a hard foul in a blowout. to me, it's just the final gasp for a desperate man, unfortunately, I doubt our dip sh!t owner sees it that way.

especially people who have been whipped into a frenzy by ESPN's around the clock coverage. god, I hate ESPN.

This brawl was in absolute NO WAY comparable to what occurred between Detroit/Indy, not even close. I agree Crzy, ESPN's round the clock coverage often makes things take on a head of their own.

this brawl was a huge shame, but not nearly as bad as the detroit one. no criminal charges here- did anyone get charged there? don't remember, but i know it was a serious possibility. that place was pandemonium. this was a few sequential really hideous altercations.

I'm surprised the fans in the 1st row didn't give JR a New York welcome.

JR is from Jersey and plays @ Rucker Park in the summer. And Im sure most people at the Garden want a piece of a 6-6 225 athletic 20 YO!

This Brawl was a very huge incident. It can't be compared to the the other Brawl because it set the precedent but you have to say any Brawl that follows expotentially Black Eyes this sport. Especially since this Brawl involved 1 of the Top 10 faces of the NBA throwing a haymaker at a defenseless bench player. Another message will be sent by Stern and I feel Mardy Collins will be the biggest example, although Melo will get the stiffest suspension.
