J.R. Smith got suspended for his first flagrant foul of the playoffs, a flagrant-2 against the Celtics for taking a shot to Jae Crowder‘s head. Smith picked up a second flagrant foul in Game 5 of the NBA Finals for trying to run through Draymond Green. This time it was just a flagrant-1, but that still gives him four flagrant points. Another flagrant-1 would trigger a one-game suspension. A flagrant-2 would trigger a two-game suspension.
Smith needs to be on his best behavior both offensively and defensively for game 6. Offensively he needs to help LeBron James to force a game 7 and defensively he needs to be on his best behavior so he’s around if they even have a game 7.
