I don't dislike Smith. Nor do I care what LBJ or Jordan did. They are LBJ and Jordan... and Jeter for that matter. I'm still not a fan of them partying it up during the playoffs, but at least they are LBJ, Jeter and Jordan. Smith is a guy who just f'ed up his teams momentum with the elbow he threw. Then I said to a number of people during the game that it looks like he went out drinking the night before. Turns out I was right. He may be someone you like or dislike. I don't care how you feel about him. However, since that elbow he threw in game 3, he's acting like he's not taking this serious.
From being hungover when he has no BUSINESS being hungover, to constantly poking a stick at a caged tiger that is Jason Terry, to the elbow itself, to his piss poor performance on Wednesday in which he seemed like he refused to take a shot less than 16 feet away. Who knows how things would have changed if he even took the ball to the hole even JUST 2 or so more times.
It's just not appropriate now.
