Rondo suspension thread..

[Lightskinsmurf]

I knew it would be 1-2 games. 3 games if they really wanted to let rondo have it. People saying 5-10 were tripping lol.

I expected 3-5, so am happy with 2.

#NBA sources say Rajon #Rondo had been suspended for 2 games for his role in last nights shoving match w/ Nets. Kevin Garnett has been fined

Fining KG is a little ridiculous but whatever, fair enough.

You get fined for every technical, though this could have been an extra fine.

for the people saying Rondo is immature and not a leader keep in mind KG and PP have both been thrown out of playoff games the last few years

guess they are both immature and not capable of leading a team either since they were much older than Rondo is now when they got ejected.

Two game suspension. Ainge just announced it on WEEI.

That's fair. Well done league. I said two game max earlier, im glad somone in the league office has some sense. I've been very critical of Stern and the league office in the past. This season seems to be a lot better both from a refereeing standpoint (swallowing them more) and discipline matters. Seems to me they are starting to listen to the fan base a little more on issues like this, as they should. I think this stokes the flames to a good Boston/Brooklyn rivalry and in the end they will benefit because the ratings for the Christmas game will be through the roof. Can't belive im saying this but... Thank you, Stern.

One for starting it, two for it spilling into the crowd.

Gerald Wallace better be fined for his bush league assault on KG.  If he doesn't, I might lose it.

LOL! at garnett trying to get away after the elbow.

This is Rondo's third suspension in 9 months for a total of 5 games I believe. Is there a pattern here? I love the guy, but he needs to grow up.

Fair to me. I was thinking 3+ I am very happy with just two. But a fine for KG? Why? What about Hump or Wallace?

[JoT]

2 games is good to me heck I was worried about 5. Also will Kris or Wallace get something too.

Seriously.

All the talk about a serious suspension for the shoving/scuffling into the cameras was ridiculous.  I thought for sure he was getting off completely until this morning when I watched the clip and saw he threw a punch.

It was a tangled up and falling down retaliatory punch, barely anything, but we all know the NBA has to suspend for a thrown fist or elbow, whether it connects or not.

Wallace has been fined 35k.

  In all honesty what he did going after KG was probably worse than what Rondo got suspended for.
