As epic as this series has been, NO! I'm not sure it's a suspendable play anyways. But whatever. Just let them play! I'd love for game 7 to bedownright nasty!

This is downright ridiculous. He should be suspended and fined for not handling a box out...

Amare and Diaw can be suspended for literally crossing a line but Rondo wont be suspended for throwing a player into the scorers table
Stern bout to look like a hypocrite AGAIN.

You people are saying NO??? Did you see the play before Rondo threw the basketball at Kirk's feet after a foul was called away from the ball and the verynext possession Kirk boxes him out and he gets pissed so instead of moving out of the way he grabs his arm and instead of letting his arm go he swings himaside into the scorers table, and instead of walking away homeboy throws an elbow/fist/arm whatever you want to call it and misses.......
AND SOME OF YOU STILL SAY HE SHOULDN'T BE SUSPENDED?!?!?!?!
If the league doesn't suspend him Horry (who got suspended for two game for hip checking nash), Ariza (flagrant 2 called when going for a block on RudyFernandez), Odom (when getting up off the bench and stepping one foot on the court then returning to the bench), and a few others are gonna have a case!!!

Yeah? What about Horry's shove into the scorers table?
Not to mention, Rondo has had his third strike now IMO.
Tripping Hinrich, inadvertently or not, drawing blood and requiring stitches
Hitting Brad Miller, not making a play on the ball, drawing blood and requiring stitches.
Pulling Hinrich into the scorers table, and then trying to sneak in an elbow.
Suspend this man.

--Yeah. I mean, Dwight Howard got suspended for a phantom elbow. And this clearly was a more physical play.

My gut tells me he won't get suspended.
Stu is going to say something about the penalty called during the game was a fair enough penalty for Rondo's actions.
Watch.

I honestly don't know how anyone can say that, according to the way the league is officiated today, Rondo doesn't deserve to be suspended.

Do any non-Bostonians actually believe that Rondo SHOULDN'T be suspended?
Pertaining to the rules set in place? I mean strike one, Hinrich was going tothe basket, Rondo tripped him, didn't make a play at the ball, tried to get in front of him, only thing that got in front of him was his shin. Didn'tdeserve a suspension, but a flagrant would have been plausible. Strike two, striking Brad Miller, not a basketball play, not making a play on the ball, broughtMiller to his knees. More than likely deserved a suspension. Strike three, Hinrich is boxing out, loses his footing, gets thrown into the table by Rondo, andthen tries to slide in an elbow towards Hinrich. That's it, no more of your nonsense, suspend him, send out a message.

How was Kirk the instigator?
He was boxing out, lost control, so he deserved to be tossed into the table?

What the hell?
Kirk was boxing him out hard and Rondo got his panties in a bunch over it and decided to lock arms, then decided to toss Kirk by the wayside.
But Kirk instigated it?

For the record.......naw, don't suspend him.
While I think he's been shady in this series, if you add up all the stuff he's done, then yes, suspension warranted, but on that play only (which ishow it should be viewed) I don't think it was enough to get it.
This isn't like the Amare where within the rules if you leave the bench even one foot, you're gone. This is a case that is open to interpretation,which means the NBA can choose what they want to see.

Half of the fans tuned out when they heard KG was injured for the postseason.
Game 5 was the loudest I've heard the Garden all season. Don't worry about Celtics fans. You should be more concerned about your $200 million baseball team struggling to stay over .500
Wasn't necessarily talking about anyone on here, just venting my ongoing frustration at the enormous amount of fairweather fans in Boston.
But don't worry, I'm definitely more concerned the Yanks.
Thanks for the sound advice champ.

But I would equate it with Posey on Hinrich.
But I guess everything in life is circumstantial. Had Hinrich had the ball, or those two be in the middle of the play, it'd be looked at differently.
