Are we getting a little defensive here? I agree, that is it...

I do not even believe I used this as an issue. Only George Karl knows why he kept in two starters at that point of the game.

Of course you didn't, I did!

This is all nice, but when you do things that may be perceived of "showing up" your opponent, you will get a very negative reaction to these kind of situations.

Agree with this statement, but not in case. Score was not indicative that they where showing off. I think this may be where we disagree the most. The NBA is all about entertainment, and showtime is what the fans come and pay a very hefty, hefty, hefty (up to $600 per seat) price to see. I want to see Carmelo get off, he is a superstar and I want to see him in the game all the way to the end. The same if it was Lebron James or Michael Jordan. The Knicks got no business getting all upset ruining everybody good time because they can't take a little butt whoop-in. Let's face it man. They acted like little kids. Isiah acted like a little spoil child, and that attitude spread around his team and next thing you know, we got an all out brawl. Next thing you know, we got retaliations like this happening all over the country. Isiah is got to be smarter than this. I'm sorry, he's got to be smarter than this! Let's be clear, Isiah started this. If we can't agree here, than we are done talking. Isiah got to keep his personal feeling in check until after the game. He's not a player anymore. I don't want to see him lose his job as a coach but I think more about the message he just sent out around the country. We don't need this sh!t coming from his position. If he's going to act like a sore loser everytime he gets a little beat up, then he doesn't need to be in that position. The Knicks deserve better....
