Suspensions with comments from ESPN's Marc Stein
Carmelo Anthony: 15 games, this is way to much for Melo considering Isaiah will sit out zero
Nate Robinson: 10 games, Five Games less than Melo? He's the guy who made it all escalate
J.R. Smith: 10 games, Smith would have never recieved this suspension had Nate Robinson not entered the mix.
Mardy Collins: 6 games, A mere rookie doing what he was told to do, how does he get six games?
Isiah Thomas: 0 games, After clearly saying to Melo that it "wouldn't be safe to travel into the paint" isn't it clear that Mardy Collins' actions were premeditated by Isiah?

Ok Steiny, I agree with you on most of these, If I was Stern, which Nuggets, and Knicks fans, be thankful I'm not these would be my suspensions
Carmelo Anthony: 50 games with no pay. I don't care if he was provoked, I don't care who did what, You don't throw a punch. Plain and simple, it's that easy.
J.R. Smith: 5 games, you don't need to mouth off to Mardy just for flagrantly fouling you, just shut up, go to the line and sink your damn free throws.
Eduardo Najera 3 games, Don't come off the bench whatever you do don't get off the bench.
Nate Robinson: Season without pay, Uneccessary, that's all it was, Nate, it was all uneccessary, uncalled for and despicable. Let J.R. and Mardy talk it out, you don't have to run your tough little 5'9" ass in there and make it look like your bad. Newsflash Nate, you play for the Knicks, New York barely likes you. You can talk all the shit you want, but as soon as you started to get physical, it was uncalled for.
Mardy Collins: 5 games, 1 for the Flagrant 2 foul, and 4 for being in the wrong place at the wrong time and doing the wrong time. I know your a rookie, and whatever Isiah told you to do, go ahead by all means do it. But please for godsakes, there is no reason to be so flagrant, I mean jump up and try to swat the ball. That's all you had to do, There was no need to stop J.R. from jumping all together
Jared Jeffries: 2 games, yes for sticking up for a teammate, but you know what, after you get told to stop, STOP. No one gives a damn after the first five anyway. I mean yes Melo sucker punched Collins, but don't run after him like you're going to kill him. I mean it's a game. That's all it is, it's a game.
Isiah Thomas: 2 years, Gimme a break dude, it was your fault, period. Knowing you, you probably took all your players aside and said, don't let them score in the paint, and do whatever it takes. Also when you say 'Mardy' didn't want the home crowd fans to see it, look in the stands you twit, there was barely anyone there. You know why that is Zeke? Maybe because you've assembled a team of misfits and wannabes, with huge salaries. Did you even stop to look at some of these contracts? I mean I know your not stupid, but for god sakes, talent isn't everything. Also don't clearly threaten a player! You played in the NBA didn't you? It's a game is it not? So get over it, Zeke, besides here's a hint, when the fans show up just to chant "Fire Thomas" i don't think that means they like you
