OT: Carmelo shoves Antoine Wright

Looks like he didn't even make any contact; Wright sure was grabbing him tenaciously.

What if Carmelo had done something suspension worthy?

If you were Denver, would you consider...losing the game intentionally so that the suspension would come in game 5 of the Dallas series rather than game 1 of the WCF?

that's a great question, i probably would throw the game. Crappy thing is if it were debateable, like the rondo fouls and kobe elbow, you wouldn't know if he were suspended or not until the next day

Didn't look suspendable to me in the least bit.

On replays it looked very harmless and a suspension would be absurd. But it would be quite an interesting dilemma if it had been something worse!

Crazy how often suspensions and flagrants have come up these playoffs. This Terry flagrant on Kleiza looked like quite a stretch from the limited angle I saw.

THAT WAS NOTHING!!!

In fact, about 4/5 of these incidents so far in the playoffs have been nonevents.

You want to see a hit? Check out chakdaddy's avatar. And the refs swallowed their whistle's on that one.

In the words of the immortal Bill Walton: " You call that foul?!? Let 'em play!"
