Marcus Smart's Fallout

[GoodForAnother]

this whole thing being over "you piece of crap" is about the best case scenario for comedy 

only thing that could make it better at this point would be if it comes out that the dude did say something racist and Tech tried to cover it up. would be amazing.

I want someone who was close to the incident to be honest about the verbal exchange between Marcus and Orr that followed, "you piece of crap/trash".

did you read the statement where Tech said they interviewed all those people and they confirmed it?

reading comprehension, do u haz it?

"Texas Tech interviewed Mr. Orr along with numerous fans, photographers and arena personnel that were seated in the area surrounding him. Mr. Orr vehemently denied the accusation that he used a racial slur and no one in the vicinity of Mr. Orr heard such a slur."

At no point did I accuse Orr of using a racial slur. I said, "I want someone to be honest about the verbal exchange that followed." That means I want the dialogue. Do you understand the distinction? Something occurred during the posturing that followed Orr yelling that provoked Marcus to shove him.

I assumed that's what you meant by saying you wanted them to "be honest."   Must have interpreted your post wrong, my bad.

That dude didn't say anything to cause this, seems pretty clear.

Forte and the ref were right there. Is Marcus Smart just the best at hearing? I believe the insane piece of crap, and I believe Marcus smart tried to justify his behavior by claiming racist slurs were yelled.

This would make more sense than a heckling fan, sitting in the same seat for years for hundreds of games, suddenly yells an N bomb at a kid. The guy is a professional troll.

Goodman just said on ESPN that a source close to the program told him it was a racial slur.

I believe a wise man once said that you can't be racist and like basketball.  Mr. Orr clearly likes basketball so he couldn't have said anything racist.  Case closed.

how great would it be if the entire ku football team lined up and individually shoved charlie weis for calling them a pile of crap.

I don't think he said. Pretty sure OSU though.

Good cuz that's probably going to happen.

OSU's and it was actually Goodman saying his OSU source told him that Smart reported being hit with a racial slur.

You didn't find the rest of what Goodman said relevant? For those who didn't hear it he went on to say that's what they thought because of what Smart told them but he also might have been lying or just didn't understand what Orr said. Anyone watching that press conference has to know that OSU doesn't think Orr didn't call him a n-word.

Now that this meh saga is over can we focus on #LIFE's meltdown last night? Still waiting to hear from @#LIFE

No crap he could be lying or not have understood what he said. I just posted what Goodman said.

You posted part of what Goodman said, I completed it with context. People who didn't hear what he said could/would think he would be disagreeing with Orr's statement and he wasn't doing that at all. Nothing to see here.
