George Karl started that brawl and he should be the main one apologizing to the league and fans for his conduct.
Up by 20 with a minute thirty to go, you still have your starters in the game and you're still scoring at will. What? was the knicks going to make a 20 point run with 1 minute to go in the game? NO. So why insult the team, the fans the stadium by keeping all five of your starters on the court. You have every right to be upset at the opposing team and then in my opinion you have every right to deliver a hard foul to make the other team think about putting in the "garbage time" players on the court.
It's easy to point the finger at Isiah or Collins for the fight, but do you understand how embarrasing it is for a visitor team to come into your place, run up the score only to have their starters remain in the game even though it's out of reach and continue to run up the score?
George Karl was to blame for this fight for not pulliing his best five off the court and showing the other team a little respect by putting in your less star caliber players finish the game with a minute thirty left to play.

J.R. Smith started the brawl. The guy took a cheap shot, but J.R smith shouldnt of overreacted to the foul. Then J.R Smith trys to tackle Nate Robinson, whos like 5 ft something and J.R./ got taken down

collins with that flagrant foul but then little robinson made it WAY worse by getting in there and shoving everyone, smith made it EVEN worse by tackling robinson into the stands, but by far anthony made it the worst you know what i never liked him but now i have absolutly NO respect for the guy leading scorer in the NBA, supposed to be a HUGE role model for kids and then he sissy punches collins right in the face. he might of lost pay and 15 games but in everyone else's eyes he lost alot more then just that

I'd say that Nate Robinson is most at fault for it going from a foul to a fight, since he escalated a situation that would have probably just ended with some words and a few techical fouls.

Collins started it with the foul, but Carmelo Anthony looked the biggest fool. I like Carmelo, but I lost a little respect for him when he pretty much suckerpunched the guy then ran backwards as hard as he could like a little girl.

Isaiah Thomas. He told Melo not to go into the paint. Plus, he was instigating to some of the other Nuggets players. Also, I think he told that Knick (I think it was Mardy Collins) to flagrant the next guy who comes into the paint.

Everyone did.
Isaiah thomas told Carmelo to stay out of the lane....
The Nuggets were running up the score on a terribly lopsided game.
Either way, they're all at fault.
And Carmelo's a punk. Who punches someone when they're not looking and back pedals? what a wimp.
