I thought Anthony ( and Denver) got off easy. And how stupid was George Karl for leaving in his starters during "garbage time?"
Stupid, maybe. But he had three players at the scorer's table to substitute when the Knicks gave up the ball yet again.
And that's STILL no reason to headlock-foul someone.
Isiah Thomas should have been suspended - if he didn't instigate it, he at least condoned it.
I saw the game and what started the melee was a FLAGRANT and DANGEROUS foul Knick second stringer Mardy Colins made against JR Smith.
In the first place, it was a USELESS foul. The Nuggets were up by 19 with just over a minute left ( impossible for the Knicks to catch up ). THE FOUL WAS USELESS STRATEGICALLY. Better to just allow JR Smith to score.
The second place, the foul was dangerous and could have broken Smith's neck ( it was a clothesline ).
Now ask yourself the question --- WHO ACTUALLY COULD'VE TOLD Mardy Colins to do that foul ?
If you answered -- Coach Isaiah Thomas, go to the head of the class.
Yet, this guy gets away with no punishment... GO FIGURE !
