The Verdict is In: Melo Gets 15, Smith and Robinson 10 Apiece
Uncategorized December 18th. 2006, 6:38pm
As expected, suspensions were handed down today to players involved in the Knicks-Nuggets brawl from Saturday night, and David Stern ruled with an iron fist:
Denver’s Carmelo Anthony – 15 games
Denver’s JR Smith – 10 games
Denver’s Nene – 1 game
New York’s Nate Robinson – 10 games
New York’s Mardy Collins – 6 games
New York’s Jared Jeffries – 4 games
New York’s Jerome James – 1 game
Curiously, nothing for Isiah Thomas, who warned Carmelo Anthony not to come through the lane moments before Collins hammered Smith with a overly hard foul. Here’s a guess – Stern knows that Thomas is a dead man walking, so why fine him on top of it?

LOL, they suspended Jerome James! Not like he plays anyways! Carmelo looks mighty soft for a guy who shows off his street cred all the time, he back peddled like some preppy kid from Connecticut.

The 10 games for JR Smith was the lamest, no way he and Nate Robinson should have been treated the same.

someone help me out here…
I keep seeing the video on ESPN News (yes, I watch ESPN News — i think Steve Bunin and Michael Kim have great chemistry) and there’s Isiah mouthing some shit, with a cute white girl on his arm.
two things:
1. who is she?
2. why the fuck is she on his arm? when was the last time you saw anything like that — women on the court/sidelines in that manner — DURING the game?

Haha funny about Coach Thomas. But he should have been fined.

I was just glad that David Lee and the other couple guys trying to break it up didn’t get hammered. I thought, at first, that the NBA would hammer them blindly, just for coming off the bench.
