No player can do that and expect to be able to play the next game or two or three."</div> Read more...

The incident occurred with 7:16 remaining in the fourth period of the Heat’s 109-103 loss to the Bulls on Wednesday at United Center. Posey will serve the suspension tonight when the Heat take on the New Jersey Nets at AmericanAirlines Arena. [READ]</div> Source
Pax got what he wanted, but personally, I don't think the suspension was harsh enough. This is the 3rd time in a year he's had a very violent foul on a Chicago Bulls player. I think his suspension should have been closer to 4 to 6 games personally, especially considering he came very close to hurting Deng pretty bad and he was clearly not going to make a play on the ball.
