J.R. Smith Says Actions 'Not Really A Big Deal'

Nuggets guard J.R. Smith doesn't think his recent actions have been a distraction to the team.

Denver's front office considered suspending Smith following an incident on Saturday that involved him pouting on the bench.

"I've got to work on some things with myself," Smith said Tuesday. "Just my attitude toward the game. I've got to control my body language. And stay focused."

Smith had a talk with coach George Karl and the guard described it as a good meeting.

"It's not a big deal. We've been through this stuff before but we always came back and got the best out of it for both of us, so it's not really a big deal," he said.
