I'd need to see some footage of Rondo spitting on Paul before I'd believe Paul about it.  It sounds like a convenient excuse for him putting his finger in Rondo's face.

There's no way Rondo spat at him. CP3 is a punk and a politician.

The Nba elite don't like Rondo, he was never in their clique. We had the Wade incident in Chicago and now this with LeBron. So much for LeBron being a leader for this young team, it fell to Lance Stephenson to calm them down!!

Hey, Lebron was out there calming people down, too. He made sure that his friend Chris was nice and calm, and isn't that what really matters?
I'm bitter.

I did not see ANY saliva leave Rondo's mouth...if it did, then it was accidental and not intentional...only a mist.

Rondo got in a good lick on CP3, though - and on the way to the locker rooms looked like CP3 had a small knot..

Better call State Farm.

I've watched so many angles and I've yet to see one of Rondo spitting. Looks like CP3 is trying to deflect blame because he's the one who made it physical.

There's something wrong with Ingram. He was looking to fight anybody for anything at all.

Rondo must be disgusted with Lebron hugging it out with his buddy CP3 instead of supporting his team during and after the fight.

You CAN clearly see CP3 wipe his face before going after Rondo. Doesn’t Rondo also have a history of spitting? I don’t think it’s clear he DID do it, but it’s not clear he didn’t either. Let it go to trial I say

Rondo is a kind of a maniac but he's certainly not a "hold me back" NBA instigator. I've got respect for him there.

Has there been a lot of fights early this season? The Smart/Smit scuffle in preseason, the Heat and Wizards got into it a few nights ago, now this. Is it a coincidence, am I overreacting, or is something going on?

some are saying rondo spit at paul, I've watched a couple times and still don't see anything. is there any video out there that shows this?

either way I've been waiting for yrs. for rondo to deck paul after paul dissed rondo on tnt, glad it happened & glad it happened while he was a part of the lakers so we don't have to deal with the consequences.

also paul landed a couple of punches, weak or not it counts.

I will always ride with Rondo. I can't stand CP3. Rondo didn't spit on CP3. Some are saying now that Melo did it by mistake. Anyway Ingram was the problem. Pushing Harden because he got called for a foul. We all know Harden pulls that lean into you to draw contact nonsense. He has been doing it since Ingram was in junior high. No need to start a fight over it.

So there's video of CP3 wiping his face, but still no video of Rondo spitting? Who's to say someone else didn't spit on him accidentally - Melo is kind of close to the action. How do we know it wasn't sweat? I agree - let it go to trial. All I see is circumstantial evidence and tons of reasonable doubt.

I think Lakers fans being mad at the way LeBron reacted is completely valid. He didn't try and cool off his young teammate that he is supposedly teaching - he went over to his friend on the opposing team. If Al did that if say, RWill got into a scuffle, we'd be less than impressed

I saw this totally differently. LBJ made the worst move you can ever make for a friend in that kind of melee. He held CP3 from the back and fully exposed his face. The NBA and CP3 are both lucky that idiot Ingram did not connect on that haymaker he threw at CP3. If he had connected CP3 is probably in surgery at some point, and LeBron would be partly responsible. I think he spent all that extra time with his friend to make amends for his negligence.

As for Ingram, I think he is very frustrated because he saw himself as the potential face of the franchise just a year ago and now he is totally lost in the mix and after this I think any reasonable GM will put him on the block.

1. You're giving Ingram's punching power way too much credit. You make him sound like Anderson Silvia.

2. Frustrated? He's starting, has improved significantly, is definitely not "lost in the mix", and he's a major part of their future.

lol @ point 1

As to point number 2, he was horrible last night. He looked like the worst Laker on the court at all times.

Part of the reason why I love Rondo is because spitting on Paul is something I totally think he's capable of doing, whether or not he actually did it.

I'm surprised, a lot of you are saying "did he spit, I don't see him spit, I don't believe he spit..."

And I'm over here thinking, "ya that sounds like something Rondo would definitely do."
