Let's look at this play rationally for a second. Flagrant foul? Most definitely. Stevenson hit him across the face. Inadvertent or not, you can't do that. But a punch? LeBron has got to be kidding himself. DeShawn hit him so hard that LeBron didn't even fall down. Look at the end of the last replay. It's a bit fuzzy, but DeShawn's hand is open-fisted. And as for DeShawn ... [link]

... by Songaila (just wait), splits the pair; Butler drives for 2; Boobie to LB to Boobie to LB - someone in the crowd shouts, clear as a bell - COME ON, BOOBIE; Songaila punches LeBron in the face (on his chin) after the foul. Marv announces Songaila has been ejected. Marv is wrong. Songaila is slapped on the chin with a T; Wally shoots and make the free throw.

Now in my opinion, this wasn't a punch. But we can't have LeBron James being mad at the NBA can we?

Songaila Suspended

This has certainly sparked a discussion..seems like most fans from both teams consider this an unfortunate occurrence, especially in light of other NBA transgressions (KG ref push, Kidd take down of Pargo) which did not warrant suspensions. David Stern warned that if LeBron was hit in the face again..the price would be paid. A hapless pre-judgment despite a seemingly unintentional violation.

Darius Songaila Suspended for Game 6

Posted 5/2/2008 on FanHouse

Well, who is going to allegedly punch or not punch LeBron James now? Darius Songaila is being suspended because his hand hit LeBron's face in Game 5 of the Wizards - Cavaliers series. I use that phrasing because depending on who you listen to, Songaila didn't mean to slap/hit James at all. Of course, usually those people are Wizards fans.

What a joke. Lebron James you are a bum. Michael Jordan wouldn't do all that faking. You are no Michael Jordan. Not even close. Getting hit in the chest and holding your face. Jordan was a competitor. Not a whiner. He wanted to be the best. He wouldn't want to cheat to win. Terrible.
