I don’t think Rondo should’ve been suspended for either play. Ever since the 90s ended, NBA refs have become way too soft. It’s nice to see some nastiness from time to time.
If you look at the Brad Miller play, Rondo did what any other player his size would’ve done. With the game on the line, if you’re a guard and you see Miller driving to the hoop the only thing you can do to stop him is to foul him hard. But did it deserve a suspension? No way. It was just a hard foul. Did Rondo deserve a flagrant foul? Yes.
If you look at the Kirk Hinrich play, Rondo just shoved him to the baseline. Did that deserve a suspension? HELL NO. Seeing both of them go at it was HILARIOUS. CAT FIGHT *MEOWWWWWW*
