Is Rajon Rondo a dirty player?

[Vinsane]

I wish I could thank this, but I'm all out atm.

People need to pull the panties out of their vagina. First they criticize the commishes (Stern, Goodell, Selig, etc) when they suspend players, now when they don't everyone is rallying for suspensions for certain players. Out of what? Fairness? Like it's going to change time and take away Horry's suspension if Rondo isn't suspended a game.

The problem with this, from the fans point of view. Stern and CO. suspended Dwight on the spot, after the tape was reviewed. They seem to have batted an eye at Boston and Rajon Rondo with his incident. I mean if you want to see dirty plays, watch the Heat/Hawks. These two teams have practically fought one another for 6 games now and no one is raising a flag in that series.

You have two of the most prolific dynasties in the NBA. The Celtics and all those Championships, the Bulls wanting to feel the 90's again. Here's a lot of reason why the pot is being stirred. Both sides, obviously biased, are putting out points. The Bulls side wants Rajon Suspended because it betters their chance of "upsetting" the Boston Celtics. The Boston side wants Rajon to play, they don't want to be eliminated by the baby Bulls without Rajon at least playing in the game.

What it comes down to is, neither side is going to change the argument one way or another. If Chicago loses tonight, they'll point the finger at the rest of the league and cry for justice. If the Celtics lose, they'll have nothing but sloppy play to blame. It's drama, it fuels the NBA interest, so the NBA will just sit back and reap all the rewards as we tune in tonight and the rest of the NBA Playoffs.

FIST,FIST,FIST. it wasn't even a fist dude. he slapped Miller. He hit him with an open hand, the picture you have is after Miller was already slapped. Geez you make it sound like Rondo straight up just jumped up and punched him. It was a slap. Open hand.

and if MIller hit Rondo with an open hand, there PROBABLY would have been a different effect, don't you think? Pretty sure Rondo would have went down like a bitch.

Does it matter?.... He drew blood.

um...already said Rondo probably should of had a suspension. But the thing is you broght up Dwight Howard and about how he got suspended and Rondo didnt. And they said Howard didnt get tossed because they thought he missed. So if Rondo missed what difference would that be if Dwight missed.

hmm but maybe its just me but Im used to a mans sport(hockey) where there can actually be contact and no one bitches.

Your name told me you're lying.

[Kuzzy Powers]

Y'all are some fucking pussies. Hard fouling and getting tangled up are way different from maliciously throwing an elbow at someones face (Like Dwight). Rondo didnt do anything to warrant a legit suspension.

Your name told me you're lying.

Because I am a Celtics fan and putting Bruins in it doesnt sound right. I rather watch a Hockey game over an NBA game any day.

[BWEISS]

yeah, it does. because when you watch the video, and are still dumb enough to say rondo PUNCHED him with his FIST, when it was obviously a slap with an open hand and it had hardly ANY momentum (so to call it a punch is fucking ridiculous), it matters.

i usually like to actually be correct when i type.

then please tell me what rondo was trying to do when brad miller went up for the layup with his arm extended out... because he sure as hell wasnt going for the ball

Believe it's been stated that he was trying to foul Miller....

[Esjay]

He was trying to stop Miller from getting an easy layup and he succeeded. Miller started bleeding, get over it. If I see anyone else say he punched Rondo in the face I'm going to come to your house and punch you in the face to show you what it's really like. That was not a punch.

Some of you are sissies. The NBA used to be x20 dirtier than this across the entire league. Let the guys play for gods sake.

It's okay. He's a heroin addict. We all understand his pain.

Once is enough to say your legally insane, and your opinion doesn't matter.

moving on.

[Kuzzy Powers]

I know how young some of you guys are because this shit is nothing compared to some of the griminess that used to go down back in the day in the NBA. A little "slap" from Rondo is fucking soft. Bill Lambeer used to elbow people in the grill on the regular and im sure when he hard fouled.. he wasnt slapping. Get the fuck over it, especially you Bulls fans. There was nothing to warrant a suspension. It should've been a flagrant 1. When is a flagrant 1 ever a suspension? Nuff pussy talk in this thread..

How is it not e-thuggin when you threatened to come to somebody's house and punch them in their face lmao

[BWEISS]

HE SLAPPED HIM. did you not read what i typed? I said he slapped him. everyone here who watches the replay knows he slapped him. im not saying he didnt try and foul him.

im saying the people saying that rondo punched him is ridiculous. you obviously don't know what a punch is then. You have to do more than reach out your OPEN HAND and hit a face with very little momentum. He slapped his face, and held on to it causing him to fall.

he didn't punch him. i had NO idea it was this hard to comprehend what i am saying. i clearly explained to you what Rondo was trying to do, and then you asked me what Rondo was trying to do. not reading my post FTL.

i could scratch someone and draw blood, does that really make what i did so violent? no, and it certainly doesn't mean i punched the guy in the face either.

It doesn't matter, he intentionally went for his face
