JR Smith suspended for 2 games....

[rhigh2390]

Just saw on NBATV and ESPN.

[Nyfancam01]

jeez... cavs may have some trouble with bulls now SMH.

Love out and smith out... horrible timing.

[kairi-2008]

fair call, but far bigger impact

[Brobocop]

So who would be the starting five for the Cavs now? LeBron, Kyrie, Mozgov, Shumpert, and Thompson?

umm, LBJ, Kyrie and who, who and what ?

[Kosmo Kards]

I originally guessed three, but two seems reasonable. If Cavs are elite they will survive.

2 games that's it? Baaaah
If a white dude said the enword he'd be banned from the nba. But cold cocking someone only gets you 2 games. Lmmfao

Are you lamb?

No idea why you guys think I am a member who was previously banned lol

[Brobocop]

I know you are trying to be funny but Mozgov has been pretty impressive playing with the Cavs, Iman Shumpert brings some solid defense and can hit threes every now and again, and Tristan Thompson was fifth in the league in offensive rebounds.

[JerseyCP3]

Makes the bench even more lousy then they already are. Gonna be tough to manage the bulls in 2nd round. Deeper team even with love and JR. 2 games isn't enough for him tho. Rest of playoffs should have done him in. That was a legit shot to dudes noggin. No shame in that as previously this has been done with JR.

[dasiegel]

the reason that is huge is bc its the 2 home games that will likely be played without idiot or love so if chicago steals one or both that is a major issue.

[Andrew Jones]

Has Chicago won their series yet? I must have missed that somehow.

[Giantrobot]

I hope they get bounced, and I hope the Wiz do it.

[currycurrycurry]

Right on point. Chicago is having a hard time getting pass Milwaukee.

no i can't believe that the bucks are playing so tough. that team is gonna be good for a long time bc they are so friggin long, even their pg is 6'6" with a 40 ft wingspan. but i expect them to win the series.

[UltimateDeron]

Cavs might have some trouble with the Bucks now..

(Hopefully that reverse jinx will work for the Bulls)

[Cubsbball25]

Oh, so you can, spinning back fist a guy and only get two games? That's cool...

in the NFL, you can supposedly fight with your crackhead girlfriend and get suspended for more than 2/3s of the season with zero evidence....makes sense.

Sure seems that the NBA took into account that seconds prior to JR going with the spinning backhand, Crowder came up behind him and forearmed JR right in the back of the neck with no call from the refs. I'm so tired of hearing "playoff basketball", "its more physical" i.e. cheap and dirty. Well I've watched every other game so far and not a single other team was going with the cheap, dirty, "playoff" style of basketball. Tyler Hansbrough was close and that was just one player.

Or the bucks...

[I only pull for]

Jr Smith's backhand wouldn't have been NBA news back in the 80-90's. The NBA is to soft these days. Let these guys play physical and let the wimps stay home.

totally disagree that woulda been a suspension in any era, that was a nasty full swinging backhand fist.

Guys win UFC championships with that move. There isn't a place for that in the NBA. Should be out at least 10 games, in my opinion.
