1) Isaiah fired Larry Brown
2) George Karl is friends with Larry Brown
3) Karl was running up the score to humiliate Thomas
4) Thomas is on videotape warning Denver players to "stay out of the paint" 2 minutes before the flagrant foul
Myself, I haven't watched basketball since the league changed the 3 point line and made hand-checking a foul (10 years ago) So this was the first time I was entertained by my home team in a decade. They should just brawl instead of play basketball.
I stopped watching basketball when the shot-clock came in, and my hostility increases with salaries and egos.
