A RECAP FROM SATURDAY NIGHT'S PREVIEW OF 'ROCKY BALBOA' AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN: I missed this while avoiding mass media yesterday, but apparently there was something of a donnybrook during the Knicks-Nuggets game at MSG on Saturday night. The refs ejected 10 players, and it's a funny list, including:
  • Carmelo Anthony. He's the league's leading scorer. Too bad; he seems like such a nice guy.
  • Nate Robinson. He's 5'7", and he went rolling into the stands with J.R. Smith, who stands 6'6". Don't feel sorry for Robinson, though -- he was a standout Washington Huskies cornerback before quitting the team, he's built like a bomb shelter, and from the video it looked like he did just fine.
  • Channing Frye. Really? From what I remember of him when he was at Arizona, saying that Frye was just ejected is like saying "Shawn Bradley just sucker-punched me" or "I was just mixing it up with Mr. Rogers."
Shockingly, I did not see Isiah Thomas in harm's way, even though NPR reported this morning that he was apparently responsible for the brawl because he instructed his team to foul the Nuggets hard.
