I actually like James Posey. He is a deadly three-point shooter and he's awesome at taking charges. But this was just horrific. He just took Deng's arm and pulled him to the ground. The thing that amazes me is that as soon as the ref called it he was all like "I didn't do anything" and he had this look like "How is that flagrant? I didn't try to hurt him at all." And then Pat Riley saying that he was only going for the block is truly scary because Posey was clearly trying to throw him down on the ground. EDIT: <div class="quote_poster">AllNet Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Mardy Collins gets 10 games yet Posey gets 1? what a joke..</div> Yeah, I think Posey's foul was way worse. The guy (Deng) actually re-injured his wrist. Plus, Collins was just trying to stop Smith from scoring and make him earn it at the line. I think it's just cause of the fact that it started a whole fight that they gave him 10 games. But I still don't get how a punch from 'Melo is worse than J.R. Smith and Nate Robinson diving into the stands with so many innocent spectators sitting there.
Posey's foul didnt cause a fight and Deng played the next night so it couldn't have been as bad as some make it out to be.

He wasn't going for the block, he just tackled him.

Let him have hit Carmelo Anthony like that, and see if there would not have been a fight. Plus it's hard to fight someone when you think your wrist is broken in half. Deng played the next game but is still suffering from a severely swollen shooting hand. That's like saying I punched you in the face and you aren't bleeding so it couldn't have been that bad.
yeah, Deng seemed more concern with his wrist than to cause any fights. And he was trying to stop the layup and it just came out as a hard foul. and in my opinion, if it wasnt basketball related, he wouldnt have gone after the guy driving to the basket
Does anyone know where i can find a torrent of the whole game because i thought i saw D-Wade holding his left hand when he went to go sit on the bench like that one was the one in pain?
