[SCeltic34]

Cmon sully, imagine the ball is a donut

[slamtheking]

bad play.  Rondo needed to foul quickly

[Adelaide Celt]

Great fightback. Looks like we'll just fall short but great effort in the 2nd half.

[KeepRondo]

Ellis flopped

[Neurotic Guy]

Rondo was going for body but did not foul hard.  I think may be a flagrant 1

[letsgoblue86]

A flagrant would be too harsh.

[hwangjini_1]

bad move by rondo, he should have fouled immediately and not waited. [dang].

[SCeltic34]

Buncha pansies these days.  That ain't no flagrant, that's a basketball play.

[jpotter33]

Wow, they actually made the right call with no flagrant. Not that it matters, but still good to see.

[LooseCannon]

I'd say Rondo grabbed Ellis by the arm and shoulder in attempt to keep him from getting into the air.  No flop.

[GratefulCs]

Well, if nothing else, it was a lot of fun!

[LooseCannon]

Kids, if you're supposed to foul, foul like that.

Not too surprising, you can grab a guy at the shoulder like that. 

Unless you're a big guy and it looks worse, of course.

[Beat LA]

These refs cost us this comeback. The blatant star and home court calls are absolutely ****ing ridiculous. You can't make a comeback with the refs against you.

I told you.  Dirk is one of the most protected players in the game.  Bradley, before being fouled on that 3, had been hit in the face 2-3 times on MADE jumpers, and that's not a flagrant - not even close.  Rondo tried to wrap him up, that's all.  Why don't we start pressing when we're down by 10-15, instead of 26?  Just a thought .
