So everyone on Rondo's nuts for his play...where is the cry for Kobe to be suspended?

[PFSIKH]

So where did all the fair play soccer moms calling for the banishment of Rondo disappear to?

Kobo clearly and with the same intent Howard displayed, elbowed Artest.

No call for him to be suspended?

This is completely different IMO. Artest is probably the most physical player in the league, he HAS to expect someone to play physical back. I don't think Kobe's elbow was meant in the neck area.

Don't you know that Rondo is the new Bill Lambeer? Rondo is the dirtiest player evah.

Got to give props to JCB & InstantClassic calling the Celtics wimps last night after Alston smacked Eddie House in the head. Those two wanted Rondo suspended forever after he fouled Brad Miller.

How?

The NBA rule:

Rule 12, Part A, Section 5-Q of the official NBA rule book cites: "Elbow fouls which make contact above shoulder level, and punching fouls, although recorded as both personal and team fouls, are unsportsmanlike acts. The player will be ejected immediately."

It was not even close. He should have been kicked out of the game and then suspended for the next game.

[Sharrow]

I agree. Suspend both of them for the rest of the playoffs.

Please don't. I don't want any excuses when they play the Nuggets.

**** Kobe!, but he should not be suspended.....refs ruined last nights game.

[DaBrick Wall]

He should've been suspended, yes.

But Rondo should've been too. What both of them did is just uncalled for.

I didn't say suspend Rondo for hitting Miller in the head, I wanted a technical there, because lets face it, it was technical worthy.

When he threw Hinrich into the announcers table, and basically threw a punch at him is when I said he should be suspended.

But if you were saying Rondo shouldn't be suspended, then you should be defending Kobe.

I agree. All these people are calling for his head because they're mad we beat the Bulls.

Kobe should be suspended as well.

We all know though that the NBA is a superstar driven league and they will look the other way on something like that with someone like Kobe or Wade.

Superstar?

How do you explain Rondo getting off the hook?

The correct call was made then.

[Ghost]

Kobe is playing tonight. :lol:

[PFSIKH]

Of course he is..........do you think ESPN is going to allow their TV numbers be impacted with Kobe on the sidelines? No.

[Irish Jet]

That is not above the shoulder.

He elbows him in the chest. It's not even close really.

[Blackout]

GREAT THREAD PKFISH

Or maybe we just saw a guy swing another man around and throw him into the scorer's table. I don't know, maybe that's it.

If Rondo didn't, he would be the one throw into the scorer's table.
