Are you in one yet for using one on this forum yesterday about Smart?

As for my bias, sure, I can admit it. It's there and it's not going away. But I'm debating with a bunch of people on here who have had a hate on for Marcus Smart all season. You could easily make exactly same statement for them.

Okay, I don't think you presented it quite like that originally. It sounded as if you thought Smart deserved a bit of a break (less of a suspension) simply because the fan was a jerk. That's where I think your judgement is iffy. Although you did admit that the suspension is the right thing to do.

And I agree that if fans go overboard they should be dealt with BY THE SCHOOL, not by players. Lord knows KU players have to deal with crap from fans. When they used to play MU it was always crap from the Antlers. And some of that stuff got to be pretty vile.

As for Smart, I didn't care either way before this season. I really didn't have a big problem with him. Not even after he back flipped at AFH last year. But after seeing all of his antics this year I don't care much for him. That being said, I don't blame him for getting mad at a fan shouting obscenities. But harsh words is NEVER an excuse for going into the stands. NEVER.

So, far I've got one tall beer bet with a KSU fan. Looking for another sucker.

Nothing like free, tall, cold beer.

No, I always said Smart was in the wrong for resorting to violence. Doesn't make what was said. If you let insults justify violent reaction, it sets a bad precedent.

Yes, they absolutely should be dealt by the schools. Not essentially protected in a PR statement and allowed to "voluntarily" miss games for this kind of conduct.

I agree, just saying that my Smart bias isn't the only one prevalent here. I also don't think our viewpoints are as far apart as you might have thought they were. In fact, it seems they are pretty much on the same plane.

No because neither you or Bambi have done it yet. You guys threaten, but have yet to follow through...

Rumblings Jamari Traylor not playing tonight. Suspended for an altercation over the weekend. Interesting if true.

If so, it's imperative Embiid stays out of foul trouble. I can see Gipson/Williams getting physical with him much like Ridley.

Landen Lucas is a capable backup to our backup. I'm not too worried.

Nope just once. About the worst service I have ever had though.

Oh, for sure. The kid has been playing with good energy and rebounds well. I would just rather prefer Embiid to not get into foul trouble (duh) especially in this game.

Well, next get together we will get you two a couple of drinks, but most certainly not from Lazy Toad.

I know you're joking, but I haven't made any threats here or anywhere else.

Not good, need him for when Embiid gets in foul trouble (and he almost always does with road reffing). Lucas has to step up.
