Marcus Smart hits a fan

[CyCub13]

This is a "Just saying" post but it was said smart(dumb) had his hand stepped on.

Well it's reasonable to assume the short fat guy 20 feet away was the culprit

This is a "Just saying" post but it was said smart(dumb) had his hand stepped on.

If you look close, it does look like Smart's hand might have been stepped on, but it doesn't look like the fan was trying to.

Don't know how to link a tweet, but Gottlieb retweeted that what the fan said wasn't racist or vulgar.

According to Doug Gottlieb, on twitter, he knows a guy that is friends with the fan. The fan texted friend that he did say something he shouldn't have, but that it wasn't vulger or the N-word.


Edit: I'm slow.

Just watched the replay and it does appear that someone stepped on his hand.

Radio analyst John Holcomb confirms what he said on air: He heard Marcus Smart say the fan called him the n-word.

Classic he said, he said situation.

I'm skeptical that something not vulgar or racist would set someone off like that. Not saying it isn't possible, but still.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Okay, so that guy should be banned (sticky situation if he is a big donor but he should). Smart still should be suspended. I'm guessing three games.

Maybe the fan said "flopper" and Smart heard something else?

Looks like Melvin, Marcus Foster, and Smart took a lot of ESPN time on sports center tonight.

Melvin bumped the Hoks from number one lead story also.

One thing we're overlooking in this is the lady next to the fat guy who could only hold her mouth open and point at Smart. Legend has it she's still pointing to this day.

I skipped quite a few pages... has anyone mentioned Doug Gottlieb's tweets? He is stating that the TT fan did not call Smart anything bad. "Oh, why would he push the guy then" you ask? Because HE JUST LOST TO TEXAS TECH!! That, and he is a d-bag.

Poor Hawkeye fans just cannot get a break.

I don't know that the punishment should be reduced because the fan deserved to be shoved.

I think it should. There are mitigating factors in life.

Watch the video. I see what happened at end if video. Very clear.



This is better:

I'm curious if there is a legal precedent that reduces the penalty for assault based on what was said? Serious question, and no, I am not saying it was an assault.

I don't really buy that. The fan either said something really bad, or smart thought. You can tell by the way he quickly turns around and goes up to the guy.

I'm sure there are some out there. Adrian Clayborn would be the only one I actually know about, although that case also had other mitigating circumstances.
