Yup. Fully agree, let your talking be done on the court.
He was asked a question what was he supposed to say ? No comment? come on it's not that serious I thought it was humorous
He could have said.....that's Nate one of the league's high personalities on the court, I'm focused on finding and knocking down shots when I have the opportunity so I can continue doing the DCDC to my opponents.
Yeah- that would be GREAT! I wish all of our players were more like robots. Or better yet, when they lose, apologize to the opposing team for not being as good as them, and then shower them with complements. And if an opposing player makes a fool of them or insults them, just apologize and admit they're right. That would be GREAT!
There is nothing wrong with what Nate said. Unlike Melo there were not going to be consequences. Melo did what he did because in his mind he was not going to be suspended as long as punches weren't thrown. Complete misunderstanding the present nba and the rules in place

Yes all in good fun. Players aren't robots

Yup, but Novak wasn't asked about it either, this time since it was a marginal player the media wanted a reaction.
Novak fell for the bait.

There are several posters who don't know what that is- everything- EVERYTHING is just material to use to criticize the Knicks and our our players.

His answer and the way he elaborated on his schtik revealed he's pissed off at Nate and probably has been for some time. lol over a trivial celebration act
GET OVER YOURSELF NOVAK!
I like it. Good response, at least one player on the team has a sense of humor.

I refuse to believe you go through life apologizing to people who insult you! Have you no sense of pride?

Probably so, just shows as Woodson basically called his own team weak.

How did he insult Novak?
I'm done arguing with people who can't see even the most basic of facts because they just want to hate on the team. Do you really not see how Nate insulted Novak? Really?

Mocking isn't the same as insulting, it's not my fault team come in the Garden and punk these dudes out, even Woodson called his own team soft.
Insulting is me talking about you on this board, mocking is me doing this.....lololololololol!!!!

Do you actually believe this?
I wonder if anyone has ever tried this line of reasoning to get out of a fight.

But there was no fight, at least none from the Knicks side, so dont see what the debate is about.
Nate is on a team that spanked the Knicks without their best player, and he has been playing very well for them.
All Novak can do is help his team win the game, too bad he isn't skilled to do half of what Nate can.
No need to even make this personal, anyone can talk from a keyboard, it's amazing how salty dudes get when someone plucks them in the eye.
Ok, now I am curious. Which one is worse, mocking or insulting?

No one can insult you unless you allow it....that's a personal decision to allow it to be shown.
To me that's worse.

I give a slight edge to insulting but its real close!

I agree! It was all in fun!
Nate was being his normal ADHD self we've come to love/hate and I didn't know Novak was quite that clever. Pretty funny stuff overall. I'm sure it's not the first time Nate's been the butt of a short joke in the NBA.

So if that's what Novak did in response to to Nate's mocking him makes his response worse than the original offense. But if Nate doesn't get offended does it still count ? ( If a tree fall but nobody is there to hear it ...) While we are at it does it coreunt that Nate started it first?
