Rondo just got ejected for bumping an ump.
What an idiot stupid thing to do in game 1. Now he will miss game 2 and may be more. Pretty aggressive towards a ref so he deserves a suspension - NBA players cant be doing that.
He is saying he triped on the umps foot. He does trip a little but what a boneheaded play.

Well, what a silly boy then... And the result is a loss, going into game two against the Hawks who must think they are a real chance now to get to the second round of the playoffs...!
I guess sometimes millions of dollars just isn't enough to settle ones senses, is it?
Just disappointed really as the Celtics are probably up there with the Spurs in experience with that starting 5, but this will upset the apple kart, won't it!

he did trip on the umps foot, but he was being a complete doosh.
Fine him $10k to $25k and let him play game 2, oh and i wanna see that same ref do game 2.
The ref made the right call on the play - that was always a foul on Bass.

Trips a little no doubt.
But as he makes contact with the ref,he pulls his shoulders back and looks to intentionally do it.
I think its one of those "He didn't mean to do it, but he didn't care if he did do it"

Rondo Rondo Rondo; can be a triple double machine but then you do stuff like this. I guess this is the warts and all part no?

Looks like he trips first, regains his balance and then "chests" the referee to his back, making a second contact. It is after this second contact that the referee ejects him!
