The big news of the day was the brawl at Madison square garden between the Nuggets and the Knicks. All 10 guys on the floor got ejected. I have never seen anything like that. Luckily nobody left the bench. The interesting thing was, all the players on the floor for the Knicks were scrubs while the Nuggets had most of their starters on the floor though they were leading comfortably. Not sure what George Karl was thinking. Apparently, this is what pissed off the Knicks since they had benched all their stars, but the Nuggets were still running and dunking with their starters. I think this is a weak excuse from the Knicks. But Karl should have put in the scrubs by then in his own interest. Now he has to deal with suspensions of his star players and I would say this incident is going to cost him a few wins. Melo punched Mardy Collins and voters in an ESPN poll say he should be suspended for more than 10 games. I don think that'll happen though he might be gone for a game or 5. Stern will be strict with this, but he is not going to over-react unless somebody jumps into the stand again.
Suns won their 14-th straight against the Kings. Back-to-back involving a home and away game for both the teams. Suns started really slow, but stepped it up in the second half to win. Amare had 20 and Nash had 12 assists. Now they can relax until Tues when they go for their 15-th straight against the Raptors and Bryan Colangelo. Cleveland lost again on the road. King James had his usual game (29-5-5) but they still lost. I think the Cavs are squandering an awesome opportunity to do some serious damage this year. The way the East is this year, the Cavs can go all the way if they play up to potential on the road.
The Heat won behind Wade's 41 and that might be the only way they win games this season – Wade scoring 40+. Chris Paul had a great game for the Hornets (30-12-8) and still lost to the Mavs. Paul is the future of the PG position in this league. We should call him the “Little Nash-ty”.How the hell is Boston leading the Atlantic division with a 10-13 record? That division is weird.
Cleveland @ Orlando – 74-81
Phoenix @ Sacramento – 105-98
Interesting games on the board for tomorrow, the Dec 17-th (Sunday)
Houston @ LA Clippers - Can the Houston come back from the double overtime defeat to beat the Clips? Can the Clips beat anybody good?
Washington @ LA Lakers - Gil VS number-24 should be fun though the Wizards suck on the road.
