The day after the Celtics vs Heat game, I wrote that Rondo needed to grow up, and end the petulant behavior that has almost become his trademark. Then I read that Wade called it a 'punk play.' That's fine, and I would have agreed with him. But these two have a history, and Wade may have only gotten what he has been giving.Turns out, Rondo has been on the receiving end of a few hard fouls from D-Wade. Roll the tape.From the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals, Game 2.Honestly, I can't tell if Wade actually made contact or Rondo was acting. So, let's call that a draw.

the physical plays the Heat guard has leveled on him over the past two years.
