Marcus Smart just went Ron Artest on a fan

The Hawks didn't do poorly during the Steve Belkin and Bruce Levenson era. They put together a few decent seasons. But there was a ricketiness to the entire enterprise and the on-court product was steeped, somehow almost immediately, in sour, doomed competence.

Never saw a college player do anything like that, wonder how many games he's out.

So Paul George is the reason Carmelo Anthony struggled on defense all these years...

Supposedly the old white dude used a racial slur. If true, hopefully he is the one who won't be attending games. He shouldn't be allowed near this college kids if he is going to act that way.

CBS said apparently its a well known TT fan, and in TX that could be true. I'd still be shocked if he's not suspended.

I don't understand why all of these leagues go into such an outrage when it comes to protecting the "fans" but not the players.

He will rise again...

The fans weren't physically assaulting anyone, oh and no racial slurs were used. Smart is just dumb, and doesn't have what it takes when the pressure is on.
