Knicks Writer Gets Attacked By Sixers Fans After Calling Them 'Awful'
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- It's fine to make fun of yourself for being overweight, but it's not OK for someone else to call you fat.
That's what Knicks writer Frank Isola did to Sixers fans during Wednesday's night game: He called them fat.

Isola, who was at the Wells Fargo Center covering Knicks vs. Sixers, tweeted this during the second quarter.
The Sixers are officially awful.

Well, unfortunately for Isola, the Sixers came back to erase a 17-point deficit and win at the buzzer.

After the game, Isola -- who is very critical of the Knicks as well -- called it the "worst loss of the season for the Knicks."
That was the worst loss of the season for the Knicks. Up 10 with 2:29 left vs the Sixers? And you lose? Awful.
