Agreed. My impression was it was simply a height thing. There's a lot of Miller to climb up, and while he's a heavy white dude and Rondo is a very good athlete, that's a lot of white mountain to jump up. Rondo made a swipe for the ball, and just flat missed and the resulting swiping just smacked Miller on the mouth. Shit happens.
BTW, doesn't the NBA allow someone to check in and take a guy's free throws for him in an injury situation like this? I mean, heck, if there is, why didn't they put in some very good (and ideally pain free) free throw shooter in the game for Miller?
