Call me crazy, but I have a feeling we will play very well in these 2 games. If not, it should at least put to rest the "we are better without Rondo" voices.

Well Rondo just got suspended two games without getting paid. If anybody should wonder why.. He threw the ball at the refs stomach because he got mad.

The suspension will start tonight against Mavs and he wont be able to play OKC on wednesday (His 26th Birthday btw). His next game will be February 28 against Cleveland.

Sorry but this is just ***** really Stern? Two games?

Not a big deal, we wouldn't have won those games anyway.

Just another nail in the "Rondo can be a leader" coffin, though.

And if he shows no emotion, he's uninterested and doesn't care right?

Maybe he should do the patented Paul Pierce palms-up-ThatsAFoul?face move next time.

As Roy H. pointed out on the front page, Kevin Love stepped on Scola's face and only got 2 games. Welcome to the NBA: where defying a referee and stepping on a man's face are equal offenses.

Pierce obviously isn't a leader because he has been ejected from games..and I'm sure suspended at times

Showing emotion so you get thrown out of a game doesn't make you a leader -- or else Rasheed Wallace would have been an amazing leader.
