I have not seen the play in question. I was only able to watch the first half of the game as the 2nd half was spent in my night class. However, right after the game I called my dad and he said that he was listening to either the TV or radio and following the game they had the guy who reviews the calls for the NBA and he made it sound like Posey's shot on Hinrich was premeditated and that it deserved at least a game suspension (if not more).
The comments from this guy (which were relayed to me via my dad) were along the lines of Posey starring at Hinrich, looking at him and basically going after him. It wasn't one of those, something happens, you get pissed and whack...it was more Posey eyeballing him from a ways away, lowering his shoulder and going after him.
I must admit I'm glad a Bulls player pulled Hinrich away from the frucus cause the last thing we needed was to lose Hinrich to an ejection or suspension. He is the key to defending Wade or at least semi containing him.
Full Version: Posey
Ya they said something of the lines of Jackson saw it first hand and had a great view. they said jackson said Posey sized him up and then nailed him and he definitely deserved the flagrant and the toss... they kind of implied a suspension might be coming.
I hope he's suspended, that was definitely a cheap shot. Really hard to judge whether or not he'll be suspended though. Artest got suspended for less, yet Posey didn't use a fist or an elbow (just a shoulder), so who knows what they'll do with it.
Posey basically hit Hinrich like a weakside linebacker. He ran him down, caught up with him, and bowled through him with a shoulder hit. I am being perfectly serious when I say that the best analogy to describe it is a high football tackle.
Posey deserves to be suspended, as there was zero attempt at the ball, or at grabbing him. He literally just ran him over.

Look at this spiff...he is trying to save his ass from suspension
Quoting Heat Forward James Posey
On the flagrant foul:
“I was just getting back on defense. They had the numbers and I was just trying to get back to cover. I was coming from the side. He didn't see me coming. It was a collision and that's all it was. It was nothing intentional, I didn't think it was that bad but I guess that's his (Stu Jackson) job to call them. We'll just have to see what happens.”
Posey = Pansy; atleast that is what i like to call him. I smell a suspension though, there is no way that the NBA will let that one go; if Haslem got suspended for throwing a mouthpiece, i am sure knockin someone to the ground intentionally will get you atleast one game.

more of block... he didn't really try to wrap him up
Riley seems to hint it wasn't an accident like Posey is lamely claiming...

It didn't go over well with Miami coach Pat Riley either.
"Maybe something happened at the other end of the court, but I don't like that," Riley said of Posey's flagrant foul. "There has to be dignity in the game. It's a very physical game. Both teams were playing hard, there are a lot of screens, moving screens set over the course of the game. But I don't know what happened. I have to talk to him about it. I didn't like that."

He is obviously ignorant enough to believe anyone would fall for this BS. What a douche.
Its funny that Posey said what he did, but what is he supposed to say?
"Hell yes I meant to hit him like that, and I would do it again in a heartbeat."
He said what he said so the league wouldnt come down on him more for hunting Hinrich down and blasting him.

I agree, i hope he would say something like that. We all know egos prevent that from happening though
Good, at least that bastard got what he had coming. You just can't do that in the NBA. You can barely do that in the NFL, when people are covered in tons of padding, as close to a blind side hit as it was.
that guy had it coming. doing that in the NBA is completely unnecessary and i think they should have suspended him longer coz' that is major BS and its the kind of thing that pisses me off
