Nets (9-4) at Celtics (8-6) 11/28

What Rondo did was wrong, but Humphries put his hands on KG first and shouldn't have done that.
I will give him something that he stands up for his teammates and has their back, but he shouldn't have done that. Now his streak is over and the team may lose(unless they come together and win the next half).

The team was going to lose BEFORE the fight. Hopefully this will be a spark.

Wow. Another reason why I'm scared that Rondo is our main offensive option.

KEEP. YOUR. COOL. I know Humphries started it but take it out on the scoreboard!

But hey atleast the streak is over and Rondo can now focus on playing the game the way team wants him too.

Naw, Pierce is
Celtics just need to have Lee and Barbosa just have to bring the ball up and set the offense

[Chief]

How many games will Rondo be gone?  My prediction is 5 games based on past history.

The replays I watched, I so him throw no punches. Some shoves, but no punches. You got to do some shoving when a 6'10  260 lb guy starts attacking you.


Shut up Donny!!!!!

[YouCantHandleTheTruth!]

Well at least there was some green action out there.. 

[lon3lytoaster]

I don't think Donny Marshall has ever been in a fight period.

The other thing is...it is easy to say go easy..when you are watching.....when your into it all the way....it is just a heat of the moment reaction...you saw rondo was driving hard and trying to get the team going...that is wht i think...

[hpantazo]

Sheesh! Donny is such a loser, shut up Donny!! He is everything that a true celtic is not.

He took a shot at KGs head while he was in the air.  That's a flagrant.

Rondo did the right thing.  You can't let guys punk your guys and get away with it.  We're losing by 20.  You need to make a statement that you're not going to roll over.

Amateurish.

Go follow womans basketball.  This is a mans sport.  You do not let your teammates take shots to the head while in the air go unpunished.

Rondo went up against a guy 8 inches and 100 pounds bigger than him and destroyed him. 

People who are going to gripe about Rondo doing this are the same that praise Bird for going to war for his teammates and laying it all on the line.  You can't have it both ways. 

Rondo has the same mentality as Bird.  I will take that any day.

rondo does have bird mentality
and while rondo didn't need to get into it that much it was really humphries retaliation against rondo that escalated the whole thing
would have been double techs on rondo and humphries and be done
wallace to me was the problem, he is coming in HARD from the back and was no part of it to start
i applaud rondo for giving HIS OWN teammates a kick in the ass, so far it looks like bass, pierce and terry went out drinking together last night
hopefully this wakes the team up

I'd love to see quiet mike gorman just haul off and beat donnie marshall
can we get rid of him please

Of course it's that way. Men's basketball, as you said.
That doesn't change the whole thing, though.
It's still amateurish. Anyone with little average reason wouldn't do that.

I really dont think Rondo will get suspended 5games...he pushed Humphries, then humphries grabbed him and started pulling him towards him.

had Humphries just pushed him back and they got in eachothers face it wouldve just been a double technical.

Rondo started it, yes...but Humphries is the one who escalated it.

[Change]

Rondo instigated the brawl. League going to come down hard on Rondo. Brawl is a a serious despite the fact no punches were thrown.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

Well, now we see what we have in backup pg's and coaching...see if avery presses us and doc cannot figure it out......

[Big Rondo]

That really got out of hand fast!

[Chief]

Before the break, he was all for the fight. After commercials, he was scolding Rondo. What a goof!!!!
