    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Knick forward Tim Thomas remains unhappy with new Nugget Kenyon Martin, retaining hard feelings leftover from last year's playoff series, when Martin was still a Net.

    "Let's do it in the ring so everybody can see it," Thomas said. "Enough talk. I'm not looking forward to fighting Kenyon on the court, throw one punch, the rest of the teammates are around. I'm looking forward to somebody promoting it, gloves on."

    Martin was nonchalant about the challenge. "I don't have time for games," said Martin, whose team plays Dec. 12 at New York. "That was last year, halfway across the country." </div>

    I think that comment was unnecesary and that how Tim Thomas will get in trouble. I'm sure Isaiah doesn't like it and might trade him or something for saying that.

    This would be hilarious, to see two NBA players fight in a ring, without team mates. And it would be the first time since a Knick got in a big scuffle, and we didn't have to watch Van Gundy gripping to a players legs. But chances are this will never happen. But hey we can dream can't we.

    Naw, that doesnt mean there is any flare there besides a personal beef with Kenyon, this is just Tim Thomas mouthing off about things he wish he could do to take the spotlight off the fact he has been a dissapointment. Last year he said he was going to knock out Ray Allen,when he seen him, after Ray said that TT whole career has been based on exuses, which has alot of truth to it.

    There is a saying that a wise man once used, it goes: "The hollowest of vessels make the most noise". If Tim really wanted to do something he would have waited until he got onto the court with him rather than talk about it through the media. Honestly, I don't see this as much more than TT acting like a bitch.

    Haha so true. TT should have had some teammates bak him up in that Nets VS Knicks scuffle last season, but he needs to stand up for himself before other ppl are going to stand up for him. All he doin is talking.. which TT seems to be pretty good at.
