George Karl Deserves Anal Fissures

by sungo on Dec 17, 2006 1:14 AM CST in Spurs News Comment 12 comments

You probably heard there was quite the scrum (link has video) at the end of the Knicks / Nuggets game tonight. Denver was up 19 with less than 90 seconds to go and, presumably because George Karl is a giant douchebag, four of the five Nugget starters were still in the game.

You don't need me to give you a run down of what happened; you can read about it or see for yourself. What I don't understand is all this talk about Carmelo "sucker-punching" Mardy Collins. A guy on ESPN News used the exact phrase, and Jared Jeffries said something about Mardy "having his hands down." What? They were 60 seconds into the melee and Anthony was staring him right in the face. Was he supposed to stately proclaim "I intend to strike thee!" I don't get it.

I've been sucker punched... a guy hit me from the side while his friend had his arm around me... took me a second to realize what had happened. Thankfully I have an iron jaw. And the fact the guy who hit me was actually a 13 year old boy about 5' nothing... totally immaterial; my jaw is iron, ya' heard?

I'm not condoning what Carmelo did. Hell, most of me doesn't give a shit. I just don't understand the need to blow this out of proportion and make it seem like Anthony took a steel folding chair and clobbered an unsuspecting grandma with a walker who was out in the snow looking for her lost puppy.

Re: George Karl Deserves Anal Fissures

It wasn't exactly a sucker punch... it wasn't much of a punch at all, truth be told. More of a slap.

But the thing was done. They had Nate-dog and J.R. separated, and it was reduced to jawing, and Carmelo slaps Collins and RUNS AWAY.

He's not really the most mature guy, it seems to me.

The Clippers! The best NBA team in LA!

Re: George Karl Deserves Anal Fissures

That was some of best durn captioning I've ever seen!

I caught a picture at ESPN.com and instantly said, "Damn, Eduardo Najera is still in the league!"

(Thank you for giving him his voice back.)

Re: George Karl Deserves Anal Fissures

And you're right. George Karl does indeed deserve whatever anal fissures are. He is probably the most bitter piece of work in the league, which says a lot, since so many coaches are horrible burned-out shells of men who can only communicate though screams, drunken bellows, and Morse code via the veins on their temples.

Everywhere he's been, Karl has always seemed to leave a bilious wake behind him. Like a really flatulent Aquaman.

Uh, everyone, let us pause for a moment and reflect on the genius displayed in this comment.

Re: George Karl Deserves Anal Fissures

supposedly Karl did it because he's good friends with Larry Brown and he wanted to stick it to Isiah.

So he lost his best player for 15 games probably. That'll show 'im.

Re: George Karl Deserves Anal Fissures

15 games sounds likely... if I'm David Stern tho, I suspend him for the season, if for no other reason to send a harsh message. It would be appealed and sent to court, but the NBA could easily draw it out long enough for it to be a moot point. From the commisioner's point of view, you can't crack down hard enough. You need to make them feel it in their pocket books.

Am I the only person who enjoys watching harsh financial smackdowns more than the fake WWF type?

I would absolutely LOVE to find out that Isiah instructed his players to crack them a good one. The first ever multi-game suspension for a coach. He'd never get back on the bench after that. Unlikely, but I can dream.

chaos... panic... pandemonium... my work here is done.

Re: George Karl Deserves Anal Fissures

I think you just hit on his plan. Isiah's looking for a way out. This way would give him "cred". (Instead of, say, sexually harrassing an employee or just completely sucking.)

P.S. I liked that Frye says "Mouthpiece."

Re: George Karl Deserves Anal Fissures

I can say I never liked George since the 2005 playoffs when the Spurs played them. He encouraged his players to try to hurt Manu when he drove to the basket. And he was the one at started complaining about Manu flopping, which has sticked ever since.

All I can say, some of his players could have gotten injuried, never let them play in garbage time, you ass! And so you hate Isiah, you can't hate him as much as Knicks fans do; show some class, you bitch!

Re: George Karl Deserves Anal Fissures

I don't undestand all the hate George Karl is getting. For what?! For keeping his players in the game, when there was no need? So what? He's the coach, he can pull them out of the game anytime he chooses. The idiots here are the overpaid players and Isiah, if he really was behind the "don't go in the paint". I hope Isiah gets fired. He's a pathetic excuse of an NBA coach. And i hope Stern suspends everyone for at least 10 games. Anthony should get 30. I never liked him. And what was up with him running away after the punch?! If you're a "thug" like you want to be seen, why are you running away? Idiot!
