I saw where Dwight Howard is suspended for his flagrant foul and it reminded me why I used to hate the Celtics because somehow Rondo did not get suspended.

Howard threw an elbow, that was the equivalent of a punch... | #4 | ||

It was not going for the ball, it was a clear frustration move where he just threw an elbow and made contact with the Sixer player.
Rondo's foul wasn't called as a flagrant though it could have been, and if it wasn't the last 5 seconds of the game, it would have been. As far as a suspension, his case isn't as clear. At least his foul was trying to stop a guy from scoring, and though he basically admitted he wasn't going for the ball, during the play it wasn't positive that was his intent. Based on his statements though, he should probably be suspended, based on the play alone, I don't think that warrants a suspension. I don't think Mchale got suspended in 84 when he tried to take Rambis' head off, so this wasn't even close to being that bad. I hate the celtics, though I may hate Vinny Del Negro more.

Should warrant a suspension because having said so publically is going to (or should) bring a retaliation foul from the Bulls in the next game.

No, because there was a mitigating factor. | #7 | ||

Brad Miller is a giant asshole.

Brad Miller breeds Golder Retrievers, and he sold a lady a puppy for her young daughter. | #9 | ||

Brad Miller then strangled the puppy right in front of the lady and the daughter.
