I don't think it was too many.

Things had calmed down, and Anthony's sucker punch ignited another round of fighting. He made a bad situation worse.

It was funny seeing him run away after he threw the punch though. :)

I still don't agree with the"PLAYERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LOSE THEIR TEMPER" rule because of the Brawl in Detroit 2 years ago. STUPID

Players can lose their tempers...but they just have to be prepared to pay whatever the consequences are.

I can't believe that this particular foul led to a brawl like this... I mean, that wasn't one of the 500 hardest fouls I've ever seen...that thing was nothing.

Some guys, when they get hit like that, get up and go to the foul line and take their free throws...others, usually guys who've never won anything, react the way the Nuggets and Knicks did...

And what's with all of the Knicks talking about "coming to the aid of their teammate"? They make it sound as if 10 guys from Denver were mauling one Knick, so they had to go rescue him... give me a break...besides, any talk of 'teammates' on the Knicks is a joke... the Knicks last played team ball sometime around 1974 or 75...

The guy who was fouled wasn't even hurt at all...it took all of two seconds for him to get up off the floor and get into the guy's face that fouled him...
What were his "teammates" protecting him from?

Plus, this talk about 'disrespecting us' and all of that stuff is a bunch of B.S... hey Knicks, you want to get 'respected'? Don't get your a**es blown out on your home court, that'd be a start...

But like I said, the brawl had basically ceased, and then Anthony has to throw his sucker punch... totally uncalled for, that re-ignited the feud, and there was no reason for it... what was Anthony thinking?? "Maybe no one will see me if I do it real fast"????

I'd have given him 20 games, but I suppose 15 is OK... the NBA's been marketing this guy as one of the bright young stars (which he is), and now he throws a sucker punch??
