JR Smith Is A Dirty Player?!
Late in the fourth quarter during last night’s Game 2 between the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers, Marcus Smart wasn’t the only one who got mad at JR Smith for shoving an airborne Al Horford. These are among the worst kind of fouls, they are incredibly dirty and can cause horrific injuries. Smith was only called for a flagrant foul, but the NBA could change it to a flagrant 2 and might even consider a possible suspension for the guard.

The nature of emotions almost got the better of Marcus Smart, who luckily was held back by Tristan Thompson. After the game, Smart said:
“We’re out there to play. Al was defenseless. That was a dirty shot. You can’t allow that. Not the first JR has done dirty stuff, especially against us. You keep letting the bully pick on you until you stand up. And that’s what I did.”
Al Horford’s sister also tweeted, and was not happy.
Emotions were clearly running high, lol. Damn, that made me mad.
