How is it that Isiah Thomas does not get any games suspended when he clearly told Carmelo Anthony to not drive the ball in the lane "or else"?
I find that unfair and agree with George Karl on this one. Isiah clearly initiated the so called "brawl". What is David Stern thinking? On the other hand, if I was Melo, I would of threw more than just an opened hand slap to the face. You can't let that happen to one of your teamates and let them get away with it. NO WAY!!!

It is realy simple dude . I like both of the teams . But there is one thing . Psicholgical and fizical pain ishan Thomas did psichological paine and that cost nothing . But Smith started the fight and other players were fighting to like carmelo and carmelo is a superstar so that is bad for him ... And who starts and pays the price .

I side with George Karl as well on this one. Sadly, there is no actual proof that Isiah called for the hard foul as there is no way to know what his intent was when he said that to Anthony. I think if 'Melo thought it was the right thing to do to get into that fight, that's fine. My gripe is that he should not have run away like a little girl; if he was going to fight, he should have stayed put.

i think isiah should be fired as a coach. he does not have the right to complain about the Nuggets' starters still in the game even with a large points lead.
