The other problem that won't be talked about tomorrow... Marcus Smart has decided he's bigger than the team. It's a shame.

I'm a peace-loving individual, and I'll kill you if you say otherwise.

He's a great player that's for sure. But he's putting together a portfolio that's starting to show he's not as mature as once thought and that his emotions control him.

He's ultra competitive in a way that even makes him stand out from all of his peers (who are also presumably very competitive themselves to even reach NCAA D1). It's not all that surprising he takes losing terribly. The great ones always do.

Do you think this Marcus Smart situation is substantially different than what Ron Artest did 10 or so years ago?

Holy ****, that was 10 years ago?

The punches (and there were a ton) make it different. Also the fact that it descended into absolute madness after that.

big 12 investigating this matter now

What's that saying about innocent until proven guilty? I mean, as long as we're throwing around cliches, we might as well add that one to the mix.

1) We don't know that this guy is an asshole. 2) We don't know what was said.

What's with all the assumptions? Should we also assume that the chair said something derogatory to Smart that made him kick it two weeks ago?

Pretty close

On November 19, 2004, Artest was at the center of an altercation among players and fans during a game in Auburn Hills, Michigan, between Artest's Pacers and the home team Detroit Pistons. The brawl involved Artest, Pistons center Ben Wallace, Artest's teammates Jermaine O'Neal and Stephen Jackson, several other players, and spectators including Pistons fan John Green[10] and Pistons fan A. J. Shackleford.[11]
The fight resulted in the game being stopped with less than a minute remaining. Jermaine O'Neal, Jackson and Wallace were suspended indefinitely the day after the game. A day later, the NBA suspended Artest for the rest of the regular season, plus any playoff games. Artest missed 86 games, the longest suspension for an on-court incident in NBA history.[12]

I think it is absolutely substantially different.

It's still wholly inexcusable, no matter the motivation.

I thinks it's a cop out to use te whole ultra competitive talk. There's a difference in taking losing terribly and losing your shit like that.

I'm not all about losing gracefully, I don't mind seeing that fire, but you've gotta have some discretion

Try to make out what Smart mouths as he's getting pulled away from his teammates (8-9 seconds).
