He's not doing post game. He's somewhere else in the building. I guess it's pretty serious, I think they said the other Knick players were going at the locker room too. Coaches got in the middle.

saw this on the general board of realgm game thread

knicks are butt hurt we beat em without Rondo. What a bunch of pansies....

anyone hear anything about this?

After losing to the Boston Celtics at home 102-96 and putting on one of his worst shooting performances of the season at  6-for-26, Carmelo Anthony took his frustrations to the locker room.  According to multiple reports, Melo left the court without shaking hands or staying for the Knicks team huddle and went straight towards the Celtics locker room where he waited and was was reportedly “shouting” at players before coaches had to get involved.  Doc Rivers said post game that he would not tattle on Melo and Mike Woodson declined comment.  One thing is certain, Carmelo and KG had been jawing all game long and both received technicals at the boiling point.

where's Stern when you need him? He should fine and suspend every single Knicks player that went to the C's locker room after the game! It will never happen though. If it was KG doing that, he would already be suspended 5 games and there would be 25 articles up online about how he's a bully and a thug.

Couldn't agree more. Threatening off the court should be a suspendable offense, but of course it wont be this time.

If this is really what happened.  Yeah it needs to be suspension time for Melo. 

He has really no right to be mad after the game anyways.  He was hacking and pushing both PP and KG the whole 2nd half.  He was lucky he didn't foul out before the 4th 1/4 with all the pushing and shoving he was doing.

It was all between Melo and KG heard him clear before the game ended telling KG he wanted to see him after the game. What a baby not able to take the a-- whopping like a man. It was frustration and from one of those clearing out/boxing out elbows that Melo ALWAYS throws. smh

I don't understand all the hate for KG. They just interviewed him and he said it was heat of the moment and nothing happened. He leaves it on the court and doesn't get caught up in the off court immaturity. He easily could have buried melo but he didn't.

For all the KG haters, you are 0-2 , he won the game and outclassed Melo.

Celtics baby!

Maybe he was going to the Cs locker room to ask Pierce how a SF is supposed to lead a team with good players on it?  Melo certainly still has no clue what it takes to be a true leader in the NBA. 

I'm pretty sure at least a half dozen Boston players could beat up Melo - Sully, Bass, Collins, KG, Pierce, and Rondo (good hand and foot speed).

If Melo was even outside the Cs locker room causing a scene, He'd got to be suspended at least one game.  DMC got a two game suspension for yelling at a TV analyst.

I like it that Doc and the C's aren't being little punks about what Melo did.  BUT, I think with so many reports surfacing of what happened, the league office has to look into that.  You can't just run into the other locker room after the game shouting and trying to fight the other team.

No matter what happens it sounds like the C's didn't react and do something that could have gotten someone on our team suspended. 

Melo is a punk.  I know he is a great offensive payer, but when you are 6-26 for the night, don't you have to do the right thing and get one of your other team mates involved to try to get the win.

Thank You. If KG or Rondo (thank goodness he's nowhere around that right now) did that they would be called al types of names and the media would be calling them dirty players with polls asking if they are dirty players.

They need to suck it up, stop being sore losers and take the loss like a man.
I LOVE that the Celtics got to them mentally and threw him off.

If KG had done this to Melo David Stern would've personally called a press conference to announce his outrage, burned down KG's house, kicked his dog, pooped in his shoes, and retroactively nullified Carmelo's 15-game suspension from a few years back. 

Someone would probably try and remind him that he's not actually in charge of suspensions, but he would just smirk at them, briefly fart the Green Acres theme song, have Adam Silver hand him a mic so he could drop it on the floor, and do a three-step handshake with THE MEDIA on his way out the door.

I fully expect Stern to do nothing.  Rondo gets a game for a slight bump that didn't earn him a T from the official and Melo tries to instigate a fight outside the other team's locker room and I bet nothing happens.

I was sure this would get swept under the carpet but with so many reports coming out now, I'm not sure they will be able to just let him off.  Probably fine him 10k.

In all seriousness, he might've gotten away with the locker room if nothing physical happened, but if he went out to the bus too I'd expect a suspension is coming.  That's a pretty major breach and it would've been VERY volatile if the Celtics had gotten into it with him.

Carmelo Anthony approached the Celtics locker room after New York's loss to Boston on Monday and was screaming, MSG Network reported.

One witness to the incident confirmed that Anthony was involved in a post-game incident, but declined to elaborate.

"It was just a big commotion," one witness to the incident said. "It was like being in the school yard."

Knicks coach Mike Woodson declined comment on the incident.

Celtics coach Doc Rivers told reporters that he didn't want to elaborate on the incident, but said he joked that he'd talk to reporters about the incident if it was the postseason, implying that he'd want Anthony to be suspended for the incident if the game held bigger implications.

Anthony, who shot 6 for 26 on the night, got into a confrontation with Kevin Garnett in the second half of the game.

Both players where whistled for a technical foul.

Anthony left the floor quickly after the game, declining to shake hands with the Celtics.

He also exited out of the tunnel that visiting players normally use to leave the floor

If there isn't video of it, then it will definitely get downplayed by the league.  They don't want their scoring champ looking badly.

Someone would probably try and remind him that he's not actually in charge of suspensions, but he would just smirk at them, briefly fart the Green Acres theme song, have Adam Silver hand him a mic so he could drop it on the floor, and do a three-step handshake with THE MEDIA on his way out the door.
Why would you post this? It makes no sense since it is Melo who got a 15 game suspension from the league office, not KG.

Perhaps things are different in fantasy land where the league hates the Celtics.

I guess I get Doc's point of view, but the Knicks are up what, six games on the Celtics?  Is it really Doc's job to protect other players?

I guess there is enough evidence already about Carmelo but seriously, it isn't your job Doc to protect people threatening to fight your team.

Why should Doc have said anything to implicate Melo? The NY media will do it for him, and Doc keeps his hands clean.

I guess I don't get the "hands clean."  How is it dirtying your hands to say, "yeah I was walking into the locker room and I guess it was Carmelo yelling stuff at our guys.  It got pretty intense and I just got my guys out of there before anything really bad happened."

If there isn't video of it, then it will definitely get downplayed by the league.  They don't want their scoring champ looking badly.
You're thinking LeBron Stern's darling baby poster child of the NBA bet Carmelo gets a suspension fined for sure.

Wasn't that for something he did to the Knicks and not for them?  Not sure how that helped the Celtics in your fantasy land.

The most likely scenario is that Doc doesn't think it's all that big a deal and doesn't want to get too involved.

But if we want to get all speculative and machivalian about it, Doc attaches a funny tongue in cheek quote to the incident on his behalf, and still gets to do it without being an informing source. So he looks coy and funny, while the NY media and others actually recount the incident in detail, keeping the story about Melo, wihout quoting him as a source.

Carmelo Anthony waited for Kevin Garnett near the Celtics team bus, an eyewitness tells the Daily News.

Five NYPD officers, MSG security and Mike Woodson were near the bus to make sure the scene did not get out of control, the New has learned.

According to the eyewitness, Garnett didn't understand why Carmelo was waiting for him near the bus.

Mike Woodson played a big role in making sure that Carmelo left peacefully. Garnett wasn't looking for trouble and got on the bus.

What a good, tough, hard fought, physical basketball game where the right team won.

Too bad that punk tried to upstage it with those stupid shenanigans.  That really ticks me off, and I hope the league throws the book at him.  It seems that they have plenty of evidence of him acting like a complete and utter moron. 

Give him ten games on the sidelines.

Agreed on all parts. And he's a rookie now. He'll be a 18 and 10 guy someday.

His critics will say he's undersized, they'll be right. But he'll keep on being awesome.

18 and 10?  That might be a bit too high.  He's going to have to find a way to score in the lowpost against bigger, more athletic defenders and become more explosive finishing around the basket.  Jumpers, some offensive putbacks, nice cuts to the rim and free throws can only add up to so much over the course of a full season.   I'd say 13 and 10 with maybe 3 assists might be possible.

probably not... heres some vids:
