12.18.06 THE KNICKS SUCK AT EVERYTHING
Okay, first things first: YouTube of the Nuggets-Knicks brawl from Saturday night.
Here are my correct opinioins, and if you disagree you should die and go to hell.
1. There's been some justification from the Knicks' camp that Collins's foul was justified because the Nuggets had starters in the game, were running up the score, blah blah blah. Horseshit.
2. Nate Robinson is almost wholly responsible for this mess. The foul is bad, yes. And J.R. Smith reacts a little too aggressively, true. But the situation could have ben defused if Robinson hadn't acted like a schoolyard chump.
3. Yes, Melo killed his street cred by running away like a schoolgirl after throwing the punch. But let's get one thing straight: It's not a sucker punch. The phrase "sucker punch" was made up by pussies who've never actually been in a fight. If you're not a little bitch, it's just called a "punch." What's Melo supposed to do, mail a notecard that says "Pistols at dawn"? No. You just hit a dude, and you don't give him warning. That's how Sun Tzu would do it, and nobody calls him a "sucker military tactics master."
4. Rumors are swirling that Isiah Thomas ordered the flagrant foul. If this is true — and it probably is, given how stupid Thomas is — he needs to be fired yesterday. The Knicks should have gone Minority Report on Isiah three minutes after he hired himself as coach. "Isiah Thomas, you have been fired for the future sucking of the New York Knicks."

THE KNICKS SUCK AT EVERYTHING
It is a sucker punch because Collins was being restrained when that little girl Carmelo darts in slaps/punches him, and then prances away while avoiding any direct conflict. Hell, he was backing away from lil’ Nate Robinson for chrissakes.
when did stick and move turn into stick and run, run mother fucker run?
Mike S., you’re wrong about Collins being restrained. Watch the video. And running away like a like a bitch isn’t a sucker punch. It’s running away like a little bitch.
i’d say it was more of a sucker punch because he wasn’t exactly looking at ‘Melo.
i will say this: if you are going to run up the score on Mardy Collins’ Knicks…you better be prepared to pay a harsh price, J.R. Smith!
also, watching Jared Jefferies diving at Carmelo while comically being held back by his jersey brought me much holiday joy.
Wow, genius use of the Minority Report reference.
“Anthony’s punch was so loud”…maybe it was so loud because it was a slap. I would have loved to see JJ or Nate Robinson whoop Melo’s punk ass
I feel like there is a UN Security Council joke in here somewhere.
If a boxing ring were the size of an NBA court we’d see plenty of boxers running away after landing a punch.

The other rumor is that George Karl had ‘em run up the score to piss off Isiah, because Karl and Larry Brown are old buds, part of the Tar Heel family.
That Minority Report bit is giving WAY too much credit to James Dolan. The moron had every excuse to fire Isiah and told him he had one more season and that he had to coach the team.
That wasn’t a sucker punch - it was a sucker slap. And then he ran away.
Of course he ran after hitting him. Those scumbag Knicks probably had guns and knives tucked in their shorts. He hit him thinking he was going to fight and then was like “oh shit, these thugs are probably packin’, I gotta get the fuck outta here.” I’m going to order 10 Melo Jersey’s and where them everywhere in NYC just to piss people off, it’ll be glorious. Oh yeah, and Nate Robisnon couldn’t kick my dead grandmother’s ass, he’s a loolipop guild reject and possibly the worst player in the NBA.
a SunTzu and a Minority Report refrence. Brilliant! Just when you think you’ve thought of everything possible to describe how pathetic the Knicks are, you come through nicely.
My favorite part is when the guy throws the clipboard at Robinson & Jeffries at about 0:50 (close up at 3:17)
