Wow.  It wasn't like Marcus took a swing at him either.  I never would have thought Beal would get a concussion from that.  He will probably get suspended a game though.  If KO got a suspension for Love's weak arm socket, I'm sure Smart will get one for Beal's weak nose.

It was an offensive foul, probably, but they never call that.  Pretty routine NBA play.

Brad Beal just can't catch a break, though.  Or rather, he's too good at catching a break.   8)

  • Peace it's a board. We all will never agree.
TP Marcus. KO is proud. This helps build the Mystic that is Marcus Smart/ ;D

The Wiz played that game like thugs (oh wait....can I say that? Not sure where that falls on the list these days), and I don't feel sorry for them at all.

  • A true Celtic plays with heart.
Yeah James Harden does that like almost every time when hes driving... Wade kicks his legs out, and somehow still gets the call. Love holds onto other people's arms when trying to box out.

This looked like it wasn't even on purpose, and Smart was just trying to either create contact or separation, something that most NBA players do most of the time.

If anything, this only proves to me how fragile Bradley Beal is...

I mean this guy is going to be on restricted minutes for a long time, and is looking like hes made of glass each and every day.

I would still trade a boatload of picks/players for Beal though. Smart/Beal would be a nice backcourt.

That's a freak accident, I really doubt Marcus gets punished
