about this running up the score stuff...who cares if 2 minutes are left in the game! let your guys play if they deserve the time... and if you find that disrespectful, let them hate and disrespect you! you cant expect everybody to sympathize you just because your down double digits with a couple of minutes left. just shrug the damn game off and play ball!!!!
That's true also. Besides do we really know if Isiah started the brawl by calling out a hard foul? He could have been warning melo about the feelings of his players in that last timeout. We really don't know who called out the hard foul we just know that it was done so to put the blame on isiah is pretty much an accusation rather than a statement backed with evidence...
D'Antoni isn't a Larry Brown enabler like George Karl. He doesn't come out and say negative stuff about Isiah and the current Knicks regime. So, why would ayone take anything personally? Yeah, most teams don't leave their starters out on the floor to run up scores, but not every team knows how to win with class.
