It was a dirty play but there’s no need to propagate stereotypes.

Smith tried avoiding contact and bumped Dragic, Howard face-palmed Faried and laid him out…Big difference between the two, but I wouldn’t expect an LA homer to know the difference

Denver was beating LA with or without Howard idiot. Watch the game before you open your moronic mouth.

Wait. So, the criteria for ejection is an actual injury? I don’t think so. Also, the NBA fixing games for Denver over LA? Wow. Just, wow.

seen much dirtier plays this season already it looked though JR swept his legs out from under him,which would call for a lot of awareness & slight of hand to be done intentionally. if JR. is that adept at being dirty.then the league has a real problem.

Not a fan of either team but that wasn’t a dirty play he just flung himself in the aor carelessly like someone above me said. D12′s foul was much worse.

The play might have been careless, but I do not think it was dirty. Watching the replay, it looks like he’s just giving up on the play and trying to run past it, and turns his left shoulder to avoid contact with Dragic. It was a foul either way, I just don’t think it looked intentional.

Knicks fan letting you know that was some dirty stuff right there. JR could’ve pulled up. Hoping that Coach Woody will still take the young man aside and remind him that HE (JR) wouldn’t like being on the end of a play like that.

That deserves a suspension. His play is as filthy as his tatoo-covered body.

Stern is the Carlo Gambino of the NBA. Says nothing publicly, has his minions do the “communicating”.

Looks like a flagrant foul to me. He could have avoided contact, but went for the hip.

You mean by Stern’s right hand man. Stern is too busy counting his $$$

Ironic how Smith pulls a move like that and then stays in the game to hit buzzer beater. He should be fined by Stern

That was a dirty play. Didnt look like he intentionally wanted to hurt him but nevertheless can’t have that kind of play. That is so dangerous.

NBA is fixed if Smith didn’t get kicked out for this and D12 got the boot without injuring another player. Thanks Stern

This article is totally crazy. You can clearly see jr smith judge whether to block the shot and then try to avoid dude. I felt no flagrant should have been called at all. I do feel bad for gordon because the fall was terrible and i like him, i know his pain is terrible right now but this is a clear reputation foul call. #bogus
