Just caught up on DVR.  The seeds of that "fight" were sown by the refs.  Wildly inconsistent treatment of contact, and not just in Brooklyn's favor.  A lot of guys got clubbed with no whistle, then a soft one would be called the next time down.  That's a recipe for contact getting out of hand and players lashing out.

I don't mind Rondo for doing it, to be honest.  Stupid in the short term, of course, but that old fire is exactly what we've lacked lately.   Plus it was a glorified shoving match and nobody got hurt.  If it finally wakes the team up for the night or for the season I'm for it.

True. I was watching and I said that it was one of those games where the zebras had just completely lost it. David Stern's NBA, folks.

"We played like sissies,'' Bird

Sometimes sticking up for team mates is leadership any one who says it is not is clueless.


Fire Donny!

Refs do their job and this never happens.  Stern always gives the calls to the bigger market involved.   He is crook.

That said, I still cannot understand what Gerald Wallace had in his mind while running to the "battlefield".
He basically outran everybody.

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.

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.

Anyone with any semblance of competitive spirit disagrees with you.

I 2nd that, its just being competitive...hot headed...yes, but exactly what the others said, its a man's game

I miss Avery Bradley...

Wallace was ticked because he'd just been popped in the face.  Looked like it was just the ball that hit him, but it's hard to tell, and even he might not've known for sure.  But nobody's happy when they've just been hit in the face.

Rondo will be punished for this for sure. Players in the stands make the front office go all crazy.

I wish Rondo had handled it better, but I also know from his angle, it had to look like KG was thrown to the court. Given that, I don't blame him for stepping up. The fact it degenerated into the brawl is just what happens when tempers flare. Uncool, lack of discipline, but I can understand it.

Hopefully Doc can use this to kick these guys in the backsides and get some of the anger directed to playing better.

[Chief]

Bass is really bad at some important parts of basketball.
