Hahaha you guys are joking right?  Rondo's not tall enough to block the ball on that play.  He put his hands up and got him on the forearm so he'd miss the shot but didn't push or shove him at all resulting in Landry landing his feet.  Didn't even look like he even made any contact on the body.

No different than 90% of fast break fouls.

The NBA is a freakin joke.
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

It's the right call, but a pretty weak flagrant. Seems like a normal playoff foul to me.

In 1987, it would be.

Maybe...I've seen Rondo and others get away with worse before.

Either way it's a flagrant, not disagreeing with that.

Well Tommy didn't think so. It was just enough to knock him off the shot he says. Got to love Tommy.
