Title: The NBA needs to do something about JR Smith.
Post by: liam on May 15, 2018, 11:09:51 PM
Trying to hurt another player intentionally and not being tossed from a game is BS. This is the same guy that cheap shotted Crowder. He needs to be suspended.

That should be changed to a flagrant 2 and suspension.

That’s what the flagrant 2 is for. They didn’t call it like cowards


So now Jr Smith gets to come back and do it again. This thing is rigged to help LeBron as much as possible

I agree, but his p--- poor play has really helped the Celtics out in this series.

If any suspension takes place, it should be for next season.

Yes, unless he takes someone out! If Al got hurt on that play and was out of the playoffs, it would be a really big deal!

He's a cheap goon. # 7 looks familiar! That's what you do when you don't have talent. We can't afford to loose any more players!

Still remember the backhand swipe at Crowder last season

He should have been suspended 10 games for that

Can people believe this goon is making 15 million per season

If Smart doesn't make a big deal about do you think that the refs even call the flagrant one? I watched it again and I don't think they would've.

Post by: blink on May 16, 2018, 01:04:43 AM
The best thing about that whole thing was Smart getting in Smith's face.  I freaking loved that.  Smart is so totally a celtic, you can't even doubt it.   Games like tonight are what smart is made for. 

Smith totally should have been ejected for what he did.  I mean a few years ago Bynum was ejected from a game with the mavs for a similar cheap shot.  Bynum's may have been worse, but both were deserving of ejection.

The CAVS already hurt one of our players this year isn't that enough?

agreed. The refs whistle didn’t even go off. The whole thing is fixed. We might see some ugly calls on the road

Warring this post has been made up the effect of abien. Take it as you will: The Cavs were sure expecting a bunch more calls this game and were surprised every time they got called on them. Tatum got hammered to that layup attempt and thought he was fouled but Smart knows that in the playoffs you can count of any kind of whistles go for so he grabbed the ball a put it back. You can't wait for the refs you have to grab it my the balls and put that ball in the hole!

"Smith said there was no malicious intent on the play.

''I blatantly pushed him. It wasn't like I was trying to low bridge him or something. Just make sure he didn't get it,'' Smith said. ''It was a good, hard foul.'' "

oh please, a shove in the back when a guy is midair is not a 'good hard foul'
f u JR.

We should have Smart, Baynes, Semi, or Yabu give him one those as he goes in to score, if he ever goes in and scores. It might be a long wait

That’s even scarier than the foul itself.

For an NBA player to admit to blatantly pushing an airborne player and thinking that’s a good foul is actually disturbing.

The NBA should upgrade it to a flagrant-2 and fine him for his idiocy in justifying it.

Formally, he should get punished by the NBA. On the other hand, his play is really hurting the Cavs - and his bad attitude as well - so I'm definitely not going to lose sleep if the NBA decides not to punish him by giving him a suspension.

Based on the play he should have been ejected.

Based on his answers to questions about it he should be suspended. If he isn't I'll be shocked if he doesn't attempt a similar "good hard foul" before this series is over.

I think without the League doing more some player, some day, is going to give it back to Smith and hard.  It is negligent for the League to fail to address J.R. Smith's dangerous play both because (1) it IS dangerous and (2) a player or players may take it upon themselves to deal with Smith themselves in the absence of the League teaching Smith a lesson.

Why did Smart get a tech on this play? Smart was just talking and JR starts pushing him. The double tech is the worse call in basketball. Well, maybe not the worse but it's a weak call. JR should've already been tossed by the time the double tech takes place.

Walked up and confronting an opposing player verbally in an aggressive manner usually warrants a tech, especially when it results in shoves and a scrum.

Fortunately the Cavs separated Marcus and JR lol.

But JR Smith actually pushed Smart and he gets the same tech as Smart talking? Smart needs to get his monies worth next time.

Wait until you see the physicality of game 3 in Cleveland.

JR Thug with the home court on his side, in what could be the last games they see LeBron at home in Cleveland. I hope the refs show some balls...but somehow I doubt it.

This game is going 6 or 7 games if it kills every player on the Boston Celtics. I just hope nobody gets injured.
