"Nuggets-Knicks brawl ends with 10 players ejected NEW YORK -- Ten players, including NBA scoring leader Carmelo Anthony, were ejected for fighting during a wild brawl near the end of Saturday night's game between the Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks. All 10 players on the court at the time were tossed for their involvement in the ugly incident that spread across the court and spilled into the crowd at Madison Square Garden. Anthony scored 34 points before the melee took place with about 1:15 left in the Nuggets' 123-100 victory over the Knicks. The fight started after Knicks reserve Mardy Collins flagrantly fouled Denver's J.R. Smith. With punches being thrown by several players, the hitting and grabbing continued for several minutes before coaches and security ran onto the court and finally restored order. Anthony was involved in a fight with the Knicks' Nate Robinson, who jumped into to jaw at Smith after the foul. Both Smith and Robinson ended up flying into the stands in the NBA's ugliest scene since the brawl between Pacers players and Detroit fans in 2004. With each team forced to put five new players on the floor, Denver finished up the win and ended a two-game losing streak. Marcus Camby had 24 points and nine rebounds, and Andre Miller added 12 points and 10 assists for the Nuggets."

12/16/2006 10:53:36 PM

just showed it on espn.. Mello is a pussy. Nice right cross but then he back peddled out of the stadium.

12/16/2006 11:02:23 PM

so much for AI going to the nuggets

I'm sure he doesn't wanna play with a pussy like Melo

12/16/2006 11:06:04 PM

what a bunch of thugs and sucker punchin pussy bitches (melo)

one of the (many) reasons i don't watch the nba

12/16/2006 11:38:31 PM

sucks that this happened, i'm leaving for NY in 7 hours and I'm going to the monday knicks game vs. the Jazz

i wonder how many knicks players will play - or if there's another fight - and lil nate is a beast for takin that guy down

12/16/2006 11:57:59 PM

haha yea and melo was running from nate at the end

12/17/2006 12:05:58 AM

Bottom line, it was low for Denver to run the score up, but if you initiate the unecessary contact, you're the one that lost control, hence NY. And Isaih, "he spint dunked" is not a coherent phrase.

12/17/2006 12:07:41 AM

What a gay fight

Looks like it was mostly knicks tho

12/17/2006 12:07:46 AM

damn now i don't wanna go, the knick's bench players are gonna get creamed by utah

12/17/2006 12:09:14 AM

One of the mods should suspend them.

12/17/2006 12:10:59 AM

Does it matter? They're going to get their asses kicked. Melo's shot on Collins was probably the best shot the MSG crowd has seen this season.

12/17/2006 1:04:24 AM

HODGE SHOULD START NOW!

12/17/2006 1:05:37 AM

I do have one question for anyone of the nuggets going after nate robinson: Do you gain league respect of your peers even if you beat him up, he's 5'8?" And after watching the tape, Carmelo will have to live with the embarassment of his actions, and I'm not talking about the impending suspension part; the part where he threw a half punch and backpeddling faster than the speed of sound. I guess as punishment, they should have to turn in their most prized medallion, and wear tuxedos to games for the next month

I agree.... You gotta hit these punks where it hurts the most. Sit their asses down for a long while and fine them a rediculous about of money (million each?); make examples out of them. NBA players are so fucking dumb...

First the foul.... I mean, yeah the Knicks fucking blow, so they are all pissed, but to fucking horse collar the guy like the Cowboys' Roy Williams... I mean come on... you gotta be fined for that alone... fucking stupid.... and then to start tackling each other and sucker punching each other.... i mean if i wanna see that i'll watch professional wrestling or something...

12/17/2006 3:42:06 AM

LOL, yeah... a little bit.

12/17/2006 3:50:24 AM

Melo was a bitch for taking that shot and running off

Jeffries was right to stand up for Collins

Nate Robinson to be as small as he is was acting like a fuckin beast...he got the initial confrontation broke up then chased Melo off the court with his hands up

gg Nate for you being the enforcer and what a pussy shot by Melo...10 game suspension or more coming.

12/17/2006 4:07:46 AM

Nate is the reason it escalated beyond the foul. It's such a tough situation. Easy to criticize, but you have to stand up for your teammate and collins took a cheap shot on Smith. Nate eally was acting like beast though.

Melo ran like a pussy though after he got that hit. if Jeffries didn't trip, he was through.

12/17/2006 5:21:32 AM

anthony - 12 games
collins - 8 games
robinson - 10 games
smith - 10 games
jeffries - 5 games
others (including guys who were on the bench and ran or tried to run onto the court) - 1 game


my predictions


now, how does the league handle the active roster for a game when 5 players are suspended? a team can have 12 people on the roster for a game, does that mean that for at least 1 game they would only have 7 (at most) available guys? I'm sure they'll appeal at least a couple to get them available while the 1 game suspensions are done.
