Rondo's been suspended one game

[TheNumber37]

I'd say Melo goes for 40 again and JR gets like 25. Amare gets 8.

well he's only touched a ref one other time, but even so was a suspension necessary? Maybe a fine, but a suspension? that's way too much

It should be 0, that's the point of the suspension. A player has no reason to ever touch a ref. The suspension is completely warranted.

The craziest thing about this is that the officials and the nba didnt even recognize it until Hawks GM Danny Ferry in his sore losership sent the officials the video of the play. He got fined 15k for doing so, but seriously Ferry?

Rondo needs to grow up. He is continuously *****ing about calls. He thinks he can just intimidate whoever it is in his way. Someone needs to just ***** slap him in the face.

I would love to see these players now play with guys like Rodman, Xavier McDaniel, Charles Oakley and guys like that. They would just beat these little *****es up. It would be hilarious.

Fine, but no suspension (although we don't know what he said, seen rondo get in trouble a few times for subtle lip movement). With his rep, deserved or not, I'm not surprised or even upset.

Celtics might win tonight someone will explode for 30 points

Other players are going to step up. The knicks have won tough games without Melo and I don't expect the C's to just roll over because they don't have Rondo. I'm a big fan of Rondo, but he always seems to get himself in trouble

This is a recurring problem with him. Who's to say the ref didn't feel threatened and swung or pushed Rondo off thus escalating the situation.

If the ref thought it was unnecessary contact, why didn't he T him up right then and there??
