I don’t know what is more surprising: the Celtics losing to the Detroit Pistons 96-81 or Rondo showing enough emotion that he would have the balls to throw a ball at a ref. I mean you gotta know the NBA is more protective of their refs than a dad is of his hot 17 year old girl going to get a football signed by Mark Sanchez.
The NBA came down with their ruling, and decided to suspend Rondo for 2 games. I honestly thought it would have been more. But remember the referee is not white. WAIT…AM I ALLOWED TO SAY THAT?

I don’t know if Rajon Rondo’s ejection meant anything more than, “Damn it, my team’s losing to the Detroit Pistons for the second time in a week, Detroit has taken 1,494 free throws compared to our six, and yes, I’m a little perturbed by this entire debacle.” Many good people have lost their cool during a basketball game; I got ejected from a men...
