McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
By Jeff McDonald
Upon league review, New Orleans guard James Posey has been retroactively assigned a flagrant foul for undercutting the Spurs' Tim Duncan during Monday's game, an NBA source said Tuesday.
The play occurred with nine minutes to go in the Spurs' 97-90 victory, when Posey stuck his leg out to try and prevent a Duncan layup. Duncan and Posey immediately began jawing with each other after the basket.
No foul was called at the time.
It wasn't the only havoc Posey wreaked in the game. He also bloodied Manu Ginobili's nose, inadvertently raking the Spurs guard across the face during a drive in the first half.

:tu :tu :tu
That move was totally bush league. The trip caught both of Duncan's feet and had he not been able to keep his weight under him, he would've gone down face first.
I'm glad Duncan called him out on it, and I'm glad the league took action. Duncan tried to light it up after that happened, but wasn't having much luck getting the ball in the hole. He still got the W, and I'm sure that's all he cares about.

Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
Yup, totally cheap. Tim doesn't react to tough play, he reacts to dangerous play, and that was dangerous.
-
Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
I didn't realize Posey was such a cheap-shot artist and dirtbag.
-
Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
It would be kind of hypocritical to call out Posey after some of the shit Bruce has done, but at least Bruce was the best perimeter defender in the NBA during this time, and his actions were done as mind games..
To be fair though, Bruce was a lot more subtle..he at least left us the argument that he wasn't doing it on purpose:toast
Posey's a useless NBA player at this point that has absolutely no game left..his only use seems to be committing dirty plays and cheap shots..
-
Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
James Posey always does that sh*t. I remember he tackled Kirk Hinrich out of bounds in the playoffs.
-
Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
Posey has a history. I think the first time was with against the Bulls when he was with the Heat. If I'm not mistaken he took out Luol Deng twice once in Chicago and then in Miami and the second time he got canned. Since then he has built on that rep. He also tripped Hill yesterday I'm surprised they didn't review that play.

This must be the reason there was such demand here to bring him in a few years ago. Posey is everything people SAID Bowen was. I thought the Ginobili play was at least as dirty as the Duncan one. He brought his elbow down HARD right on his nose. Yes, it was intentional. The only reason he probably didn't flagrant Parker for the trifecta was he isn't quick enough to. :lol

Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
Is there a vid of this? i want to see it again :flag:

Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
I love that Timmy confronted him though and he did it in a civil manner..he didn't jump off the bench like Stoudemire or lose his balls like Dirk..

Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
James Posey was an important roll player playin in Boston, then signing with the Hornets for money has took him down hill but no worries Posey your not the only loser out there "Hedo Turkoglu

Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
Posey is such a cheap shot artist. I saw that replay, and he was clearly trying to clip Duncan which could have been pretty dangerous. I think the league should do more by perhaps suspending him a few games without pay and assessing a fine.
They need to set examples and no tolerance policies for this type of crap.

Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
Posey also undercut Ginobili in the 4th quarter. Gino went up for an offensive board and Posey stepped into him then walked two more steps under him, taking his legs out...causing Manu to fall to the floor.
-
Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
Posey should have been suspended AT LEAST!
-
Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
I'm surprised Sean didn't see Posey was trying to trip Tim because he usually notices subtle things like that very often.
-
Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
There has been plenty worse done, and plenty worse done by Spurs and former Spurs. However, there really is no need for crap like this, and retroactively assessing a flagrant foul does nothing.

Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
It looked like Blair was getting ready to pull Posey's limbs off.

I didn't notice that before, but yeah, Grizzly is about 5m away staring at Posey like he's gonna mess him up in the parking lot! :lol
I love the fact that he's so protective of Duncan. It's ironic though because usually it's the vets protecting the rooks. ;)

Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut

bonner + finley for posey.
-
Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
thats whats bad ass about blair theres not going to be alot of big dudes acting macho around d blair instead of lol bonner out there
-
Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
that could have been the end of the Spurs season right there.
deserving of a suspension IMO.
-
Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
Blair's going to make Posey pick up his teeth off the floor had he made one false move
-
Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
Alright where's BR Hornet on this one? :lol Mr. "sons that was a legal move by Posey." :lmao

Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
"The guy just tried to take out our franchise player, the greatest PF of all-time, and the reason San Antonio became relevant. I want him, lets trade Bonner and Finley for him!!!"
Seriously wtf is wrong with you people. I dont care what Bruce did, it was never that blatantly obvious and cheap...and it never put in jeopardy the career of the player that made this franchise what it is today. Even if he still had some game left, which he doesnt, I wouldnt want Posey anywhere near a Spurs uniform after that shit. Glad Duncan let him know about it, even if that isnt really his style. Wish we still had someone like Malik, he wouldve let Posey have some...hopefully Blair can become that enforcer Malik was.

I agree with the general tenor of your post, and I love Bruce, but I've gotta say that Bowen was occasionally cheap and dangerous. Specifically, I thought that when he stepped under jump shooters' feet, particularly the time VC sprained his ankle (and I'm pretty sure the same thing happened with Ray Allen), that was pretty dirty.

I definitely wont argue that Bruce was a saint, but like someone else said atleast with Bruce he left the option out there where you could argue that it wasn intentional...it was never so blatantly obvious. There was the argument that he happened to be under those shooters when they elevated for the shot because he played defense tighter and better than everyone else. A weak argument perhaps but it was still there.
Thats besides the point though, my main thing is Posey just did it to OUR franchise player. He didnt do it to Amare, VC, or Ray Allen. He did it to the player thats responsible for this franchises rise into relevance, and couldve ended his season. Wanting Posey on this team after that is a slap in the face to Duncan. Even worse is the fact that the dirty play itself is the reason some people want Posey.

he kicked someone in the back, which was pretty blatantly obvious. it didn't cause injury.

Actually watch the 6:15 mark, he gets TP in the thigh and knocks him down. Refs call a blocking foul on him. Sean calls Posey,"A 1 man wrecking crew."

bowen knew what he was doing. every spurs fans secretly know that bowen knew what he was doing (they just will never admit it). and like bowen, every team that doesn't have posey love to hate him but would love him if he was on their team. bowen was intense and competitive on defense up to the point of being dirty. he never blatantly crossed the line but he sure stepped across it from time to time. same here with posey.
i think posey was just auditioning for the spurs.

Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
Looks like Duncan is saying "....tried to trip me" at 0:24

Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
Duncan was at risk of ankle injury and one month of play.
Ginobili was at risk more, since the blow was right on his face,
Posey was certainly NOT going for the ball.
He was frustrated Ginobili had intercepted his pass.
Absolutely intentional.
As for the Spurs, there seems to be nobody on the team able to re-establish "order" in such cases, where no flagrant was even called.
I miss Robert Horry.

Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
Most people don't know who James Posey is. Once he's done in this league you'll never hear about him again. Not even one of the better 6th men in the league.

I would have liked to seen Blair take Posey out on the next play. got to stand up for you franchise player!

Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
Hahahaha @ Spurs fan bashing Posey while defending and praising Bowen in the same breath. Oh the irony.
-
Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
anyone got a vid on Posey's foul on Manu?
-
Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
Speaking as someone who grew up watching ball in the early 90s, that didn't look that bad. Flagrant foul-worthy, and definitely dirty, but not suspension-bad.
-
Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
love Posey. whish we had him 1 or 2 years ago. Now he's pretty much finished.
-
Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
Damn that was messed up...
-
Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
It should have been an and-one.
Yet Hornet fan wants to complain about the refs, ironic.

Cool Bowen was dirty, like I said you wont hear me argue that he was a saint. I dont see how you compare him to Posey though, not after Posey pulled this shit off on OUR franchise player. If he went out and did it to a VC, a Ray, or an Amare, or someone else from another team than allright I could see your point...but he did it to Tim Duncan. The face of this franchise. Its a slap in the face to Duncan to want Posey on this team after that. Thats the equivalent of Suns fans wanting Horry after the hip check or Sonics/Nets fans wanting Bruce after he injured their star players' ankles.

I freely admit it - most of the time Bruce was just on the legal side of the line, sometimes he stepped over it.

The HUGE difference that I see in this situation is that Bruce did everything he did, however you view it, with the clock running during play. I don't ever recall even one dead ball cheap shot or trip attempt.

VERY good point. I think to compare Bowen with Posey is ludicrous. Bruce many times may have stepped over the line, but it was seldom ever so blatantly obvious as Posey. He just go and hit people, no matter the clock, no matter the circumstances, no matter anything.
He is just a cheap-shot bastard, seriously.
-
Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
Spurs fans, do you need another Bruce Bowen? Posey can hit 3's sometimes and is good at trying to injure players.
Come on, it'll be like Bruce never left.
-
Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
:wow Timmy looked really pissed in the video. :wow
-
Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
Man, Timmy was ready to rumble after that cheap shot. Kinda reminds me of Five-oh during his later years when he got the occasional T. Calm as anything, but if he snapped on you, God help you if you were in the way.
-
Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
I reinstate the NO self-respecting team would have let Mr. Posey finish the game with some sort of "problem".
Spurs need a guy that makes perfectly clear there is a price to pay for cheap shots.
They seem to have forgotten that a hipcheck won the 2007 title.

Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
Posey hit a gamewinner yesterday. The offer's still on the table, Spurs fans.

posey for Jefferson in a nanosecond.

Re: McDonald: Posey dinged for Duncan undercut
Posey's always done that undercut move on rebounds and post-ups. Just the way he plays.
Dirty play if you're an opponent, hard-nosed if you're a fan.
