JR Smith suspended 1 game for Elbow

[Trentknicks]

Eh Terry is quite the shit talker himself.

If that's the case how come Lebron didn't get thrown out when he elbowed Boozer? Maybe because Boozer took it like a man and didn't fn flop.

There's a difference between throwing an elbow into a guy's face and hitting a guy hard on a screen.

so if you react after getting elbowed you flopped? knicks fans really are the worst

The refs cheat for LeBron. All you homer Knicks fans need to realize intentional elbows warrant suspension.

More shots for Melo.

Celtics are getting swept anyways, probably gonna only score like 75 points tomorrow

[Dagouch]

You have to admit Terry embellished that hit just a bit.

He deserves it, dude ****in' intentionally elbowed another player.

being ejected was punishment enough... plus if you look at the replay terry kind of flops... not saying JR didnt connect, but not nearly as bad as terry made it seem. he got suspended because hes JR smith. think that would happen to kobe or KD ? wrong

[sc19]

Weak minded. The Jet got into his skin.

[redrich2000]

With a foul like that there is no way to tell whether it was an intentional elbow or just trying to clear space with the forearm. It's probably still a flagrant two either way because its reckless but the slo mo makes it look worse than it was. But given the series is over it made a 1-game a meaningless and easy decision.

Man stop being salty, its not tha east finals yet, and you already salty?? Damn

[theBIGjabroni]

fair but atleast he got a shot on terrys stupid face.

[bagelred]

elbow someone get suspension. it would happen to anyone.

****ing knicks fans always think people are against their shitty franchise

Terry literally put his face in JR's elbow. So pretty much JR had no choice but to elbow him. Wasn't it a basketball move? He's trying to clear space.

It was clearly a foul on JR, but it was not even a flagrant, and definitely not suspension worthy. Don't put your face next to other people's elbows is the lesson.....

It's a blessing though. This will hopefully drive down JR's free agency price. Who would take a chance on this guy? I certaintly wouldn't.

Pretty sure Stu Jackson decides these sorts of suspensions, not Stern

Yes, bosses always have no say.

There's no consistency in the process, no set penalties, it all depends on how they think things are perceived. That dustup with Nate probably got JR suspsended as the league didn't want peopel to think things are out of control.
