Dwight suspended one game & Rondo NOT! (spoilers)

[A_Iverson_I]

I'm fuming that Dwight copped a one-game suspension for his elbow & Rondo got off scott free for his flagrant that cost the bulls the game..... what a load of horse sh@t!!!!

 

[ozballer23]

Apparently Rondo's was deemed as he was going for the ball, where as dwight was clear that he wasn't and deserved what he got... not saying that I agree with the Rondo call.

yeh definitely interesting decision made by the nba... cant agree with their decision though

I definately don't agree with the call.

Rondo slaps him upside the head, Miller is shaken up and then has to shoot 2 free throws as it's a normal call?

Should have been a flagrant so Miller could check out and let Del Negro let someone else shoot.

I'm not saying the foul cost the Bulls the game, but that one play definately could have made a difference. Let's just say if it was Paul Pierce and he was hit upside by Ben Gordon I think it would've been flagrant.

The NBA can't let the Celts face the Magic in the next Round, that would be too hard for them to win their next Championship...

Howard should of been thrown from the game rather than just cop the suspension.

Now that I look at them both, they're both pretty bad. I missed the Rondo one and was even watching live, I guess there wasn't much made of it at the time but looking back it's a flagrant 1 and no he's not playing the ball. It's worse in the sense that this no-call has pretty much effected the outcome of the game IMO.

Dwight's is more blatant and yep, you would have thought an ejection should have followed. Flagrant 2, you're outta there...

Ones clumsy and the other is deliberate.

Jeff Kennett would agree with me :-D

 

[aussiemjfreak]

The rondo one was just as deliberate IMO! Would have been called for face masking (?) in the NFL!

 

[mrwhite11]

rondos was flagrant he had no chance of getting that ball and he hooked his hand as dwights could've been accidental wrestling out of the hold and barely clipped the other guy

 

[chaz]

its good that dwight got suspended. GO PHILLY!!!!!

 

[WoobieZarz]

Agree, Dwight's is more blatant, and deserves the 1 game.

Had Brad Miller ended up on his back, Rondo would have copped the 1 game. Go back to previous incidents.

 

[A1CardsandGaming]

Both players deserved to be booted fm the game but the suspension is tough.... So many rough fouls late in the close games, I wonder how they do pick and choose which is flagrant

Gortat can handle dalembert and Pietrus should fill in for Lee ok

It always surprises me with the amount of bad calls in the NBA, Like travel and charge calls.... some players get away with alot but others seems to play with different rules
but 4 steps or leaning in on a charge is ok at times for some of the stars..... A bit like most AFL games and their bad umpiring

rondo shouldve got done...

and again 5 mins ago rondo shouldve got suspended again...
these refs got money on boston or sumthin....some BS calls

It doesnt matter now Celtics out in 7, Philly to win in 7
GO BULLS

So little guys can get away with more cos they aren't going to knock a big guy down? There must have been a fair bit of force to knock a tooth out.

I think your right btw, it just seems pretty unfair.

i reckon rondo did a dirty thing in todays bulls-celtics game 6 when he tried to fling hinrich into the scorers table... thats not needed, he'll simply get a name around the league after a while like bruce bowen and like john stockton did of being "dirty" players

 

[loafic]

its good that dwight got suspended. GO PHILLY!!!!!

in the end didnt need dwight... magic blew them to bits... theyve got some quality 3pt gunners & when theyre on, theyre gr8 to watch

You see highlights from today's game Scotty?

Rondo shoves Hinrich into the scorers table, Hinrich won't have any of it and pushes him back and Rondo swings an elbow.

FUNNILY ENOUGH, Rondo gets a flagrant for shoving Hinrich but the referees don't do anything about the elbow. what absolute BS.
