How many games will Marcus Smart be suspended for?

[Tr1boy]

I have never seen anyone in the NBA do this before. Maybe a sneak punch to the junk but not an uppercut to the sky. Not one big man but two. It looks like something from the WWF.   

I thought Smart learnt to control his temper after that one fan pushing incident.  This is not good.  IT injured and now this.   2 games min , 4 games max?

I wish he had saved that for Wade.

After seeing this punk move, I can say now that the elbow on Elfrid Payton also was intentional.

Seriously.   The league office is going to laugh for a bit after watching this replay 20 times. Then get serious, call Marcus suspend him. Then watch it again and laugh

It is kind of funny actually .  But still, who does that . oh man

TP. It would've been fine with me if that was Wade, but he chose the harmless Matt Bonner of all the players.

nbadraft.net could be onto something comparing Smart to Dwade

Did he hit two guys?  I guess I missed it -- I just saw the replay of the Bonner hit.  Very disappointing if this is Marcus losing his cool.  One thing to yell, posture, even push someone -- another to wind up and punch.

Stevens just called it an "unacceptable play".

yeah watch it again. Baynes also gets a surprise hit.  That could pass for an accident. But not Bonners.

It was almost like, if your going to set a pick, get ready to get blasted reaction

Agreed...

[satch]

Two minimum....three Max's.

[Tr1boy]

I hope for 2. But think it could be up to 4-5 =[

Marcus you dummy.

Not until he breaks a guys arm Rondo style... Smart gets frustrated, Wade actually tries to injure people. Our best player is out for 3 weeks because of that thug, until Smart really injures someone he's not on Wade's level in this regard

I doubt they'll see humor in it.  I am a little dumbfounded as I slowly accept that Marcus actually wound up and purposely punched Matt Bonner in the groin.  That's a real loss of self-control.  This is profound in that it's evidence that the dangerous manifestations of Marcus' anger are not behind him.  I doubt this is something he'll never get past, but for now it's apparently still in play for him and something he needs to resolve. 

It's this type of temporary loss of control/judgement that leads to Ray Rice type incidents.
