David Stern...OC

So the fallout just came down from the Knicks-Nuggets fight. 'Melo was suspended for 15 games. This is F'n ridiculous. I didn't exactly review the tape 30 times, I only watched it thrice. But to me this is just another example of David Stern being completely outta control. A couple years ago when ron Artest went into the stands, he should've been suspended for about 30 games, max. And Anthony's punch the other night warranted about 5 games, but the truth is that Stern has too much power, and is going completely unchecked. I think the Nuggets should stage some sort of blue flu on the road against a team who they would probably lose to anyway, so maybe the next time the Nuggets play the Spurs they should put their five worst players out there, milk the 24 second clock down to zero on every possesion, and do everything in their power to get a final score of 50-34. This is the type of thing he makes a stand on, while wasting everyone's time with that stupid new ball. How generous of you to switch back to the leather ball, can we kiss the ring or just go straight to kissing your ass sir?

Anyway, a few things to be brought up here. Mardy Collins got what was coming to him, he deserved to get punched in the face by 'Melo. I think that tackling someone by the neck when they're running full speed and they aren't expecting it is a lot more dangerous than punching a guy in the face when he's looking right at you. Nate Robinson is a little psychopath if he wasn't playing in the zoo that is the current New York Knicks organization he would be in the NBDL (unless he got kicked out of there for being such an idiot), he's a 5-8 shooting guard who did more than anyone else to escalate the situation the other night.

Most importantly, this incident should be the end of Isiah Thomas' embaressing tunre with the Knicks, and really should be the last time anyone invests in Isiah at all. to hear him basically say that it was the Nuggets fault for having starters on the floor. Isiah is a complete idiot, he wore out his welcome in Toronto, he bankrupted the CBA, he coached a talented Pacers team into mediocrity and he's turned the Knicks into the punchline of the NBA. Oh, and he still doesn;t realize that he wasn't among the most elite players of his era. When he gets fired at the end of the year, I pray that none of the NBA broadcasting networks hires him to do games, if they do I promise that I'll stop watching games on that network.

Well, I've said my piece. Happy Birthday Molly.
