For the record, I want to see Rondo in Game 7 because I think it's best when the best players are out there fighting.

But the NBA looks horrible if they don't suspend him. They warned him after Game 5 about his antics (not just the Miller foul but also tripping Hinrich). Then he goes and throws Hinrich into the scorer's table and also takes a swipe at his head with his elbow. Since Howard got suspended for that exact same act minus the throwing a guy into a scorer's table, and Howard wasn't warned about his behaivor, the NBA essentially says the rules don't apply to certain guys.

I think if the Celtics had won tonight, Rondo would have been suspended for Game 1 in the 2nd round.
