Assuming Posey is suspended for Game 4...

How does that change your rotation? Will Tony Allen get some PT? Or will Rivers leave in Ray and PP for most of the game?

Is Posey going to be suspended?

Why the hell would you assume that?

I'd be more happy to just assume this thread is locked so no one would have to consider such a silly notion.

Youtube the Raja Bell foul on Kobe Bryant and remember that Bell was suspended for that hit. 2 other factors that will come into play is that Posey has a history with stuff like this and he wasn't ejected from the game. Had he been ejected, the NBA probably takes it easy on him. The NBA has also said that they do take your past into account.

I think it is 60-40 that he will be suspended for game 4. The NBA hates stuff like that.

Are you blind? He didn't clotheslines LeBron. Get off his nuts for **** sake. He went for the ball and LeBron ducked into his arm. How the **** do you avoid that? He tried to wrap him up and LeBron flopped to the floor like he had just been shot.

I missed something. Why would he be suspended? Are we talking about the weakass flagrant foul on LeBron? Please tell me we aren't.

Cavs fans are oblivious to truthful basketball, we should know this by now, they think Lebron ACTUALLY gets fouled every time the refs blow the whistle for him.

This thread is more wishful thinking than any reality.

LeBron exaggerated the fall, is all.

I think this thread should be merged with the "LeFlop James" thread, for comedic effect.

LaFlop nearly broke his neck on this play. Not from Posey but from pretending like he was really fouled hard. He's a drama queen, that's all.

If the grab by Posey on James was deem a flagrant foul. I hope the league reviews it and can see that Posey was only attempting to impede James' forward progress down the lane. Because James was running full speed ahead. The spill he'd taken looked a lot more bad than it actually was. The refs and fans are reacting to the player's reaction and not so much what occurred prior to. Was there intent to foul or harm? Was it unnecessary...? Players grab hold of opposing players driving to the basket all the time during the regular season in their attempt to stop them and pick up the quick foul, basically. The league should treat this incident likewise to Cassell by ruling that it wasn't a flagrant foul.

James may have a cut on the inside of his lip to prove that it wasn

That is all fine and dandy, but the Cavs got the free throws and the ball. What if they had won by one point? Would they have changed the final score too?

NBA officiating is hilarious.

It can be very frustrating. You see college football refs do a horrible job and then an apology is sent to the coach after the fact. A whole lot of good that does.

You also forgot a 3rd factor: LeBron's the most overprotected player in the league and flops/whines like a sissy. Seriously, anyone notice how he whips his mouthguard out like it's on fire after every foul against him? What's that all about?

Anyone who thinks Posey should be suspended needs a reality check. :nonono:

Let's assume the LeFron will be suspended for his simulation...

Let's assume the league reverses the technical foul like they did in the first game after Cassell was called for a flagrant on LeBooboo.
