As you probably heard, a recent Knicks-Nuggets game turned into a melee, with ten ejections, seven suspensions (including, most notably, Denver’s Carmelo Anthony for 15 games — the Knicks only lost their scrubs, with the possible exception of instigator Nate Robinson for ten), and another cloud of controversy surrounding coach Isiah Thomas. (Please, fire him already.) To be honest, I have yet to see a quality video of the fracas, but it sounds like yet another embarrassment for my lowly Knickerbockers, who’ve been in freefall for years now, ever since Ewing and Van Gundy left town. In happier news for the other team involved, the Denver Nuggets trade for Allan Iverson, giving up Andre Miller, Joe Smith, and two first-rounders in the process. Great trade for Denver — they’re an injury prone team, but with the Answer, ‘Melo, K-Mart, Camby, and Nene, they have to be considered a serious finals contender, even with notorious choker George Karl at the helm.

I thought the ‘notorious choker’ was Latrell Sprewell. Maybe the nugs can lure Spree out of retirement for a playoff run.
Kenyon Martin (possibly my least favorite player ever) is out for the year. Microfracture surgery. Denver makes the second round, tops, loses in 6 games to a real team: Dallas, San Antonio, Phoenix, etc…
I’m finally enjoying these Knicks. They might lose, but some of these kids make it fun to watch.
bc, I heard rumors that Denver considered making a run at Spree last year (he and Camby are close), but they ultimately balked.
With you on the Knicks, Mike. I really enjoy watching the second unit (Lee/Balkman/Robinson, etc.), and Eddy Curry seemed like he was finally coming ’round when I left NYC. If only we could package Q-Rich, Francis, Malik Rose, etc. for Kevin Garnett…
