JR Smith suspended 1 game for Elbow

[albas89]

I'm sure Smith was not suspended just for the action of elbowing. He did it clearly on purpose, the rest is just excuses. He took a good look of where Terry's head was and swung right at it.

As Doc said after the game, you're up 20, even if Terry fouled you just let it go. If the Knicks were down 20 what was JR gonna do, kill Terry in cold blood? Such actions are totally unnecessary and don't belong in the NBA...

Anyway, Smith or not the Knicks are still able to finish it off tonight, Celtics are just out of sorts! In case they don't win tonight, they have the chance to finish it in front of their home crowd WITH Smith playing. No need for further discussion, it's a pointless suspension... if it was a Game 7, I'm sure they wouldn't suspend him!

He deserves a 1 game suspension for blatant stupidity.

After Terry pretty much threw a punch trying to swipe the ball, then flopped on the fall. No way that elbow would make him fall without some embellishment.

Good call by the League office. JR clearly throws an elbow

Anyone who says that Terry flopped is an idiot. No one without a large experience in getting hit in the face would fall too.
