Celtics (3-2) at Bulls (2-3) Game 6 4/30

[fairweatherfan]

Refs are gonna call this very tight - we gotta play smart D for awhile or we'll get in foul trouble quick.

[rondohondo]

I wish they would have ejected him this game.

[dang], if this goes to Game 7 Rondo will most likely be sidelined - I would almost guarantee it.

Rondo is not the one who threw an elbow, what the hell are you talking about?

[johnnyrondo]

what's the 'blackboard stuff" that Tommy keeps referring to?

[celticinorlando]

i am not so sure rondo will be suspended for game 7...no punches or elbows exchanged....i think tonight is murky...just get back to boston and regroup....very poor start

[rondohondo]

Chicago wrote on the chalk board to be physical or something like that

[cornbreadsmart]

this COULD BE death. rondo may have thrown an elbow as well. that's a suspension. with the unsportsmanlike play the previous game i think we should expect it.

[mahonedog88]

Yeah the refs are gonna call every bit of contact now.  And this NOT how this game needed to start...Chicago crowd really into it, bulls shot 68%, down by 11 after 1 quarter.

The way this game is going, I'll talk you guys during game 7

[Drucci]

This game is already ugly but the Bulls' strategy of getting in Rondo's mind has worked, he was bothered before this play, by the boos and all the talk about him, you can tell that by watching him play and this "fight" just adds up to it.

Rondo just flung Hinrich off of him by the arm and then Hinrich threw a running elbow, what are you watching ? Rondo didnt throw any elbow

[Stu]

The good news is that the Bulls can't shoot 68% all game long.  They'll come back down to earth.

[johnnyrondo]

I don't want Rondo to be suspended for Gm 1 of the orlando series. we can't afford to lose gm 1 to them at home.

[fan33]

Not good not good not good.  What if we lose Rajon for game 7 too?  Then what?  We're screwed if that happens!

This is the Bulls strategy, IMO

But the refs have seen thu it...

Play ball guys, play smart!

[celticinorlando]

if rondo gets suspended...series over....the bulls wanted to turn this game into a street fight and they have suceeded...ugh

[fairweatherfan]

Well, the good news is

- the game's not as lopsided as the score, they've pulled a lot out of their backsides and the flagrant gave them some points too.
- they're in foul trouble
- Scal's on pace for 28.

bad news:

- everything else.  Rondo may get suspended, that's not that far from what Horry did to Nash 2 years ago and that was a 2-gamer.  I don't think he meant to put him into the scorer's table but if it's interpreted that way they will sit him for Game 7.  After the last incident they'll be a lot of pressure to upgrade that foul. 

We need next game to be Game 1, not Game 7...gotta start putting it together quick.  Starting with Rajon.

[celticinorlando]

my fear is they let rondo slide for the miller foul...they won't let him slide the second time....and boston has no defense still
