A not-so-nice topping of freezing rain is hitting now.<br /><br />I think the issue of NBA fighting is that Stern got tired of seeing things spill into the crowd. You had malice at the palace, the Carmelo fight at MSG many years ago when he was a Nugget (I think), and the old Derek Harper fight when he was a Knick that literally fell onto the crowd. <br /><br />TRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10392896869204565247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048775.post-7534586656842138992017-03-14T13:35:40.649-04:002017-03-14T13:35:40.649-04:00We got about 6.9 inches of snow so far.
