    No, I'm not sure. But, based on the rules, he should get suspended. Although, the league is on Boston's jock, so that probably won't happen.

    Based on the rules, Posey didn't violate anything. The rule states if an altercation takes place...that wasn't an altercation. Posey put one foot on the court for a split second and then stepped off. If they suspend him for that, but didn't suspend DeShawn Stevenson for his foul on LBJ...then the league has their rules backwards.

    Twas' a good run. I love how we made the Celtics work for it and they didn't sweep us. I really hope the Hawks can take this experience and bring it back next year and make some more noise in the playoffs. Good series and good luck with the Cavs.

    Congrats to the Hawks for making it so far in this series and good luck next year. Be proud of the team.


    I think it was a great experience for the Celtics, letting them know that winning in the road is important and you cannot always count on the home court advantage to be able to win a series. The Cavs will be much easier I suppose, knowing that their front court doesn't even come close to what the Hawks had, with the rebounding and blocking. LeBron will be hard to defend (and there isn't a player that can do much about it) but if the Wizards (without Arenas) with a bunch of average players (except jamison and butler) can win 2 versus the Cavs, I'm sure we'll be able to beat them easily in 6 games.


    GO CELTICS!!!!

    LOL at the Celtics fans thining the Cavs will be easier. Cavs are a way better team than the Hawks. Cavs beat the Celtics twice this year.

    I just saw the Marvin Williams takedown on Rajon Rondo that was dirty as hell. He should get at least 6 games for it.

    Yeah but they could have momentum now or be back into a groove of some sort.

    Not like I want the Celtics to win either way. The Cavs series could definitely be a toss-up though.

    The dude was in mid air, and he tried to wrap him up, and fell badly. No suspension needed.
