I don't like the way that TT gets floored and no one steps up.

At least Frank got balls.

I know that Isiah is taking notes on the above.

This Kurt Thomas guy...He's garbage!

were you expecting to see a bench clearing brawl
that woulda been cool

That would have been awesome. I wish the Knicks bench had cleared when Collins knocked TT out of the series. Unfortunately, that is out of the question for Lenny's unmotivated bunch.

FWill held his ground in the tradition of Chris Childs....looks like Kidd wants to do more than win

David or Russ should make future comments on this game before the series gets out of hand

yeah, nets been together a little longer......seems like every body on the knicks are doing their own thing. Does it take 3 years to display sense of teamwork....I dont think so. Right after the trade, it took JKidd one season trying to go championship.

I want blood. I don't care if we get sweapt but I want to see borken necks and destroyed knees on Net players, TT is in the hospital, its time to start a war.

As reported by newsday, hopefully TT is OK

X-rays were negative, but Thomas suffered multiple muscle contusions to his lower back and was taken to Beth Israel Hospital, Singer Division, in Manhattan, where he was to be held overnight for observation. He is questionable for Game 2 Tuesday night at the Meadowlands.

Did anybody honestly expect the Knicks to win this game???

The Nets stopped the Knicks (aka. Stephon Marbury) and started running, something they do best.

...

this is interesting:

Television replays showed Nets forward Richard Jefferson taking a step onto the court from the Nets bench during the altercation -- possibly a violation of an NBA rule the Knicks became familiar with during their playoff rivalry with Miami during the late 1990s.

I had no problem with Collins foul. It was a hard foul. People say Nets were up by 15. Who cares? This isn't Rookie Game. You don't give up playing D cause you winning. TT came flying in for a dunk and Collins jumped up to block it and there bodies collided and Collins Arm hit TT arm/Shoulder. TT hit the deck. Oh well. Now a days any type of hard foul is automatically a Flagrant. Back in 70's,80's and early 90's that's a great foul. Setting the tone that you won't get any easy buckets by driving in only hard fouls and making you earn it at the line.

Buck Williams no Lay up Drill Anyone? or was that ok cause he was a knick???

Collins is not a dirty player...and no that was not a dirty play. It was a play that has to be made in the playoffs.....

What I'm mad about is the Knick forwards around him....they didn't shove Collins or yolk him up or try to put Jefferson down or something like that. Vin should have shoved his forearm up in Collins throat. I feel really embarrassed.

I'm a NY'er and when we play serious ball if you are goign to the hole expect to get NYC's version of the Passion of Christ before you get there. Oakley, Mase, even Charles Smith and J.R. Reid(remember he knocked A.C. Greens teeth out) knew what it was to send a message to the other team that they were not going to go out like that. You just don't let another team embarrass you like that. This is a mans game.

It was a really gay moment in Knicks basketball....Thomas was hurt and Penny and Vin were caressing him while the Knicks just looked on all glossy eyed. I thought Vin Baker was gonna kiss Timmy for a second....

I'm sick of all this gay basketball. Isiah stands in the tunnel for a reason....he's watching everything that goes on. I trust he'll bring in some guys with some heart.
