Smith won't take Cuban's bait

Anybody expecting additional fireworks between Denver Nuggets guard J.R. Smith and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is bound to be disappointed the next two weeks.

Smith
Smith said Wednesday he plans to ignore Cuban during the Mavericks-Nuggets series. The two got into a shouting match Jan. 13 when Cuban and Smith got into a battle at halftime over an elbow allegedly thrown by Smith at Dallas' Antoine Wright.
Smith wasn't suspended. Cuban was fined $25,000. Cuban responded by blogging and challenging Smith to a steel-cage match. Wright is expected to see time guarding Smith in the seven-game series, which begins Sunday.
"I don't care about Cuban or Wright -- why should I? I play for my team," Smith said, according to The Denver Post. "I just need to go out and play my game."
And if Cuban tries to bait him from a courtside seat? Smith says he won't take it.
"I'm not a big fan of his and I think everybody knows that," Smith said Wednesday, according to the Post. "He's just another thing we have to get by on the way to the championship."
----Is he serious!?!
I'd put my money on Smith!!!
Why would anyone put their money Smith? He's the biggest poser in the league and Cuban's probably in better shape than he is.
Just because he's black doesn't mean he can fight. If they were allowed cars in the steel cage to run over people at will then i'd put my money on JR but the dude's a got.
Besides, Cuban's a pretty big dude

Steel cage match?
I missed that one earlier this season.
Cuban is a freakin' bag. He's not happy unless he's making himself part of the action - WWE style. Damn self-absorbed, overexposed nimrod!
Thats what Im sayin!!
Why steel cage, why not octagon!!?
You know what JR is a fan of? Murdering his friends."I'm not a big fan of his"
Who is JR kidding?
He isn't bright enough to 'ignore' anybody. I'm sure he'll lose his cool at some point.
JR would def rip Cuban to bits, though.
He showed me enough in that Knicks brawl to think he could knock Cuban out.
Cuban is a nancy boy. him, and the Mavs.
Go Nuggets!
I hate JR Smith and Cuban equally, I'd love see both of them get knocked the out.
lol Kobe getting beat the up by Chris Childs.
lol. smith owns cuban.
