No suspension. That 2nd tech call was a bad call.

Bad call or not on the second of Smart's technical fouls, a player cannot physically go after another player without penalty. $35,000 would have been half of my greatest yearly pay checks, but it is probably now pocket change for Smart.

For the team, it is lucky that he does not have to miss any games.

We are in complete agreement.

That's .00291666666666% of Marcus yearly salary, assuming he makes $12M this year.

He bragged that the fine would be $50k and that was nothing. Money talks and bullshit walks.
