Yeah, that was right around the time we re-acquired Antoine in '05 and went on our first string of games before returning home for his big re-introduction (and Big Al gave him back the #8). During the waning minutes of the game (after it was well out of reach for Phoenix), Pierce was sent to the FT line and did the fist bump/forehead thing to mock Quentin. I distinctly remember D'antoni getting himself ejected while Paul was doing it.
Of course, the irony in this whole situation is the Knick forum overreacting to the whole thing. They've already started an 9-page thread dedicated solely to this topic, channeling their inner Chuck Swirskys and tossing around the "classless" tag. The fact that this word is being bandied about a single season after the most pathetic display of immaturity and ineptitude for a collective franchise in NBA history is lost on most of their posters.
And I haven't even mentioned the yapping, instigating, jumping-on-teammates-in-the-shower-for-owed-money lapdog that is Nate Robinson yet. How Leon Powe of all people becomes the recipient of their collective wrath is hilarious.
The first comment I highlighted, you hit it right on the head. Irony is not a currency the Knicks or their fans seem to have much of...neither is intelligence!
As for your second comment, I agree them going after Leon is a riot, but I'm a little perturbed by the image of a dude jumping on nekkid teammates in the shower...
