Posey sucks
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.

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.
Yup, totally cheap. Tim doesn't react to tough play, he reacts to dangerous play, and that was dangerous.
I didn't realize Posey was such a cheap-shot artist and dirtbag.
It would be kind of hypocritical to call out Posey after some of the 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
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..
James Posey always does that sh*t. I remember he tackled Kirk Hinrich out of bounds in the playoffs.
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.
he was a celtic, he was one of them
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.![]()
Is there a vid of this? i want to see it again![]()
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..
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

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.

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.
Posey should have been suspended AT LEAST!
I'm surprised Sean didn't see Posey was trying to trip Tim because he usually notices subtle things like that very often.
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.
It looked like Blair was getting ready to pull Posey's limbs off.
he did
in ass posey
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!
I love the fact that he's so protective of Duncan. It's ironic though because usually it's the vets protecting the rooks.![]()
