Will IT get suspended? Update : no suspension

[Lucky17]

I bet Schroder is just seething. Wonder if this gets him off his game a little. We'll see.

What Smart needs to do is to flop smarter(and i believe he is learning) not less

[alldaboston]

so no punishment on IT whatsoever? while Smart gets a 5k fine...in my honest opinion we dodged a HUGE bullet.

Hope both IT and Smart learns from this

IT - contain your anger, let your game do the talking, do less of that
Smart - flop less please

Smart won't lol

how many times has he got a warning or fine for flopping

Not a lot. In fact, is this his first flopping fine? I don't remember any other one.

I just rewatched Smart's flop.  Wow it's worse than I remember. I think that he should go into professional wrestling.

Puhahahaha!!

Maybe he also plays soccer on the side

Or just become a star. Wade flops all the time and the league doesn't care.

I just watched the video. I will usually defend Marcus but that was not only obvious but stupid. He jumped up into the air and looked like he almost hurt himself he was flopping so hard.

Still not clear about the flagrant 1 IT received. What does it mean?

He flew out of there like he'd been shot.

Unless Korver has been working out hard

Marcus needs to stop flopping.
The refs have stopped giving him any calls.
And cut that stupid Mohawk. Refs hate Mohawks.

I watched the game at a bar and Marcus had us fooled  We were screaming at TV for the no call blol

TP- that's awesome! My sister had that video when I was younger (also Abs and Legs). Super classic series.

Same here.  I felt like a dope after seeing the replay. 

[tarheelsxxiii]

I'm convinced that if IT hadn't gone off for 42, KO and Bradley weren't out, and Jae wasn't playing injured... that IT would've been suspended for one game. Seems like a decision based on TV viewers and money. Will take it, though. Go Cs!

If IT has another big performance (i.e., 30+) and we win game 4, he'll immediately become a modern-day legend among a good portion of the fanbase. I think one more win in this series (especially if Bradley doesn't return and Jae continues to struggle) could help in FA, too.

I'm shocked at how many people believe IT should've got a suspension for this.
Think about how many players have gotten away with so much worse.
Just because contact is deliberate doesn't mean it's violent or with intent to physically harm.

IT literally turned his body sideways and stuck his arm out while doing so. He didn't swing or punch or put any reasonable force with intent to harm Schroeder-he was screwing with him and trying to p--- him off.

Nothing to see here IMO.
