The Cardinal Smiles
the vid is everywhere now
The people that think basketball is played by thugs think that because they see black people. There is much more thuggery in a white dominated sport called hockey.
That said, is it really a surprise that Mardy Collins, a player from Temple caused this ugly scene? That cheap foul, and it was a cheap foul was right out of John Cheney's playbook. Things got ugly because Isiah Thomas let them. He should be suspended as well.
I say give Carmelo 5-10 games, whoever tackled Nate Robb up to 5, and some of the other guys 1-2 games.

IMO, the NBA needs to up the penalties for this type of behavior. Whatever suspension Artest received is what Melo should get. That would send a major message and it would sit all their asses down. The league has the opportunity to lay the smack down. Nate Robinson, the waterbug who caused this thing to explode, should be out for at least 25 games. That little guy was running around with his little bird chest all puffed out and trying to flex on people. The league really does need to be extremely harsh on this incident....
Knicks coach Isiah Thomas said he even told Anthony that he never should have been in the game at the time.
"I just said to him, 'You know, you're up 20, you're up 19 with a minute and half to go, you and (Marcus) Camby really shouldn't be in the game right now," Thomas said. "We had surrendered, those guys shouldn't even be in the game at that point in time."
Robinson said the Nuggets were trying to run up the score in the final minutes.
"If we're up 20 points, we're not going to play Stephon and Eddy," Robinson said. "It's like a slap in the face, saying we're going to embarrass you like that."

What theory is it???
I wouldn't give a sh*t! Who cares! If they wanna show they're ignorance then let them.
Let's not be hypocrites here. If the Suns were down by 20 against the Mavs, and we had Pat Burke, Marcus Banks, James Jones, Sean Marks and Pike out there on the floor, and the Mavs had Dirk, Josh Howard and Jason Terry still in the game, are you saying you wouldn't be angry?
I'm sorry, but 1) I don't believe you wouldn't care, and 2) I love your last sentence.
Finally, if one of my players pulled the stunt that Collins did, he'd never see the floor for me again.
Would this assertion apply to Raja Bell?
No, I wouldn't. This is a world-class athletic competition. If you lose, take it like a man and move on. Getting riled up over perceived "taunts" or "rubbing it in" is for high school. I didn't see anyone on this board complaining when the Suns kept running up the score at the end of Game 7 against the Lakers last summer.
And under no circumstances would I ever, as a coach, tell another team that they shouldn't have their best players on the floor.

Funny thing Chaplin, is that I bet he's reread it a few times and doesn't know why you liked it so much.
Ha ha, your pretty damn funny.
BOOM goes the dynamite!
