I love the fact that he's so protective of Duncan. It's ironic though because usually it's the vets protecting the rooks. ;)

It's good to see that they are standing up for each other. :tu

that was a fucking dirty play. posey could have seriously hurt someone and he knows it.

















bonner + finley for posey.

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

that could have been the end of the Spurs season right there.

deserving of a suspension IMO.

Blair's going to make Posey pick up his teeth off the floor had he made one false move

Alright where's BR Hornet on this one? :lol Mr. "sons that was a legal move by Posey." :lmao

"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.

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

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.

Looks like Duncan is saying "....tried to trip me" at 0:24

yep i think manu asked him wats up

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.

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.

Hahahaha @ Spurs fan bashing Posey while defending and praising Bowen in the same breath. Oh the irony.

anyone got a vid on Posey's foul on Manu?

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.

love Posey. whish we had him 1 or 2 years ago. Now he's pretty much finished.
