2 Game Suspension for Rondo

I just heard at halftime of the Hawks-Bulls game that Stern or Stu Jackson gave Rondo 2 games off without pay. OMG, it seems if it weren't for bad luck lately, the Celtics would have none at all!

MD!

Stu Jackson should suspend those 3 blind mice as well.

NBA has by far the worst officials....not even close.

They refuse to address it. They refuse to remove officials who do a poor job. It is like the postoffice. Once you are in, you are a lifer. Very sad.

When does the suspension take place?

Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo has been suspended for two games for throwing a ball at an official and striking him in the chest during Sunday's loss in Detroit, NBA executive vice president of basketball operations Stu Jackson announced Monday.


Rondo will serve his suspension immediately, missing the team's next two games, against the Mavericks and Thunder.

Frustrated by a lack of a foul call on a third-quarter drive, Rondo flipped the ball at official Sean Wright, earning a double technical and automatic ejection. Rondo now owns a team-high seven technical fouls on the season, placing him near the top of the league in technicals.

"I don't want anyone to get thrown out of a game, but he did," Rivers told reporters in Detroit after the game. "I didn't see what happened, so it's tough for me to make comment on it. I was actually looking down at a sheet of paper, so I missed it."

Asked if he sought clarification on why Rondo was ejected, Rivers said, "No, I didn't even ask. At that point, I didn't care to find out. I'll find out later. I wasn't worried about that to be honest."

I found this out before Forsberg!

It's probably for the best. The Celtics have had a surplus of available players, especially at point guard. So Rondo probably did them a favor by helping them whittle down the number of experienced players to do battle with the World Champs.

Sam,

That's either marvelous satire, or more of a stretch than putting Monique in spandex. (LOL)
