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*
a ) When you swing at a person’s head and HIT THEM, and draw blood, especially when he had NO play on the ball…that is at the very least a flagrant 1, more likely a flag. 2.
b ) When Rondo THREW/Slingshotted Hinrich into the SCORERS table, NOT the baseline…that should have been an ejection, and then he followed up with exactly what Dwight Howard which was threw an elbow/punch(same thing) at a persons head. There is no stipulation whether you hit the person or not, according to the rules it is an automatic suspension…
And maybe you didn’t know that Hinrich was an extremely good boxer during his time at Kansas, he would have *edited*ed the *edited* out of Rondo’s *edited* *edited*…
