Lights Out Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Marcus Smart is a real piece of crap. He should be suspended for multiple games for that classless outburst. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzcut Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 He should get at least five games for doing his best Metta World Peace impersonation for what happened. Of course, I'm emphasizing should as I expect the suspension to be shorter than that.Oh, and I still of the opinion that Wichita State is STILL not a bonafide #1 seed(or a #2 seed for that matter), If you're confused as to what I'm saying, please read the timeline on my Twitter account at this link:https://twitter.com/HowardSalwasser/ The CCSLC's resident Geelong Cats fan. Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends. Sounds like something from a Rocky & Bullwinkle story arc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Turns out the same fan who Smart shoved has a history of taunting opposing players, including an Aggy player a couple years ago. That guy should be banned from Tech home games, IMO. Still doesn't justify Smart's reaction, though. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Ford, who isn't really seen as a strong coach to begin with, has no control there at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 What an idiot Marcus Smart is, shoving a fan which will seal Tech's win over OK State.What an idiot that fan was for getting in his face. This idea that whatever fans do is beyond reproach is, at best, ridiculously naive.... especially in an era where fans regularly do things like google personal information about players and taunt them with it. If a fan wouldn't say something to a guy on the street, he shouldn't say it to him at a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One cannot seed them as the 9th-12th best team in the nation when they went to the Final Four last seasons and had a double digit, 2nd half lead against the eventual champs.Creighton loss to PC looks worse as the Friars rpi falls below 50.

If a fan wouldn't say something to a guy on the street, he shouldn't say it to him at a game. The fan didn't exactly get in his face. Smart got helped up and walked over and shoved the fan. If what the fan said was pretty bad then he needs to be disciplined as well as Smart will be. The thing is that we don't know what was said and all we know for sure is that Smart shoved the guy.

Fair or not, Smart has to control himself just like every other athlete who gets heckled. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy B Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Smart apparently told the ref that the fan called him the n-word twice. And there's video of the same fan making obscene gestures at a Texas A&M player. It was definitely a stupid move to actually shove the guy and he'll get suspended, but I don't think Smart is a bad person or anything. He just got caught up in the moment when a guy was throwing racial slurs at him knowing that Smart can't do anything back without getting in trouble.And for the record, I'm okay with fellow college students looking for embarrassing things on an opponent's Facebook or Twitter page and bringing it up during the game. Granted, most of those things end up sounding pretty lame, but it can get in a guys head sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Okie State was preseason #12 and now is 4-5 in conference with losing five of their last six. The season has imploded.That is a Travis Ford issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet the fan is not the first person to yell something racist at him during a game (because there are more than enough d-bags that attend basketball games). Being the aggressor and then shoving him is not worthy of being given the benefit of the doubt. There's really no good reason to go into the stands and start shoving fans. You can't start fights with everyone that says something mean at a basketball game. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Guys like him... way more so than guys like Marcus Smart... are why I don't even watch sports a fraction as often as I used to. Maybe if there were more Marcus Smart's, guys like him would actually have to think twice about the crap that comes out of their mouths, and sporting evens wouldn't have to be such a breeding ground for knuckle-dragging douchebags.

And yep, I definitely said the big black brute just needs to know his role. Geezus man. All I said was he shouldn't go into the stands and shove people because a simple verbal retort would have been just as good. I'd say the same thing about a white guy. dude. I'll say it right here: IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT RACE YOU ARE, DON'T SHOVE THE FANS. Let me go buy you another "jump to racist conclusions mat" for your apartment, because you've apparently worn out the ones you already have.illwauk, you like playing the part of the troll, don't you?

Lights Out Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Yup, the big black brute just needs to know his role and stay in his place! <sarcasm>Yes, because that's exactly what people are saying. I also fail to see how Orr is getting a free pass. I think most agree that he's a complete douchebag who should be banned from attending games. But just like fans don't have the right to spew offensive :censored: at athletes, athletes don't have the right to go into the stands and start fighting with the fans. Both Orr and Smart are in the wrong here, period.By the way, the heckling isn't going to just go away in the NBA. Smart needs to learn to keep his cool now if he wants to have a successful career in the pros. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
