The actual video looks like a flop.

But JR caused the action, and his rep was the major reason for the suspension.

He's gotten into it with far too many players in his tenure here alone.

why combine speculation with fact like that? you're being disingenuous.

a blow to the shoulders or above has always been a reason for suspension. that's pretty much it. idk why so many are crying over it. be mad at JR. it was stupid and uncalled for. there wasn't vengeance to be had. ...and then he walks away immediately??? that's a punk, tbh.

but you guys will defend him blindly.

What? How am I defending JR when I'm saying it's his fault?

saying that it was his reputation that got him suspended is why i took exception to your post.

everyone wants the knicks to be tough like the 90s Knicks, but nobody wants them to be held accountable. that's my overall discrepancy.

i cheered when childs almost took off kobe's jaw, when ward tried to undercut PJ, when LJ squared up with Alonzo...

but i wouldnt b*tch and moan about their suspensions. nah mean?

So how exactly am i taking up for him blindly?

It is his rep that him the suspension, he's been involved in at least 4 incidents since being a Knicks.

Ivey, Lance, Dragic, Terry, Bayless, all say hello...THIS season.

still dont see your issue.

Precisely why Terry didn't get a tech for the blindside on Prigs. If that was JR, he would have gotten tossed.

Of course, you dont expect the league to admit that?

Now let me ask you.....has everyone gotten a flagrant so the same move?

If anyone is being protective, it seems to be you, unless you think JR is a saint.

Remember this?

lol. it's not the same play AT ALL! you're being a baby. JR deserved the ejection and the suspension was debatable purely because it's the playoffs. but JR made a dirty play.

why do you think JR was thrown out then suspended? (please dont say illuminati)

(also, dont intertwine facts with your own theories. it's unbecoming of you, thugger.)

I already said he has a rep....JR is a straight idiot, talented, but an idiot.

You're debating I've been taking up for him when it's actually the complete opposite. :lol:

what i'm saying is that rep had nothing to do with it. what i'm saying is that the play alone warranted an ejection and suspension. you're saying that rep caused the suspension. i think the play was bad enough all on its own.

It was absolutely his rep that got him suspended. Surprised anyone would think otherwise.

Now that's speculation, unless you believe every elbow from a player with the ball gets suspended.

The reason why I posted the gif was because the reason the league gave for suspending JR.

They clearly stated he hit terry in the chin, and that gif allegedly has boozer striking Bosh in the nose.

See how they ARE the same? The face, the face.

But I guess you believe players reps dont come into play with what refs decide.

Flagrant due to rep, suspension due to rep....players get hit in the face all the time. :lol:

he did not hit him in the chin. and terry is milking this whole thing. he claimed he was still in pain from it after today's game. c'mon.

Even if it was his reputation, That was a mean swing of the elbow. It touched Terry on the chin.

An elbow is equivalent to a fist according to NBA rules. Basically JR punched Terry in the face.

JR was in the wrong.

initial contact did not connect with the chin... but JR raised his elbow to connect with the chin/jaw of Terry.

that's the reason the league said though.

NEW YORK -- New York Knicks guard J.R. Smith has been suspended one game without pay for throwing an elbow and striking the chin of Boston Celtics guard Jason Terry, it was announced Saturday by Stu Jackson, Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations.

The incident, for which Smith was assessed a Flagrant Foul Two and ejected, occurred with 7:06 remaining in the fourth quarter of New York's 90-76 win over Boston last night, at the TD Garden.

Smith will serve his suspension tomorrow, Sunday, April 28, when the Knicks face the Celtics at the TD Garden.
