    I don't care either way with Boston. I like several of their players, including Rondo. I just dislike KG.

    We'll just have to disagree if you think that was even remotely a play on the ball. It is far from fact that Rondo went for a block. Rondo stopped the basket by hitting Miller in the face. Rondo knew he couldn't reach the ball well before he left his feet. He was 2 feet behind Miller, and his momentum is not moving toward the ball.

    Rondo hit Miller in the face with his hand. Rondo's hand did not extend beyond Miller's head toward the ball. The ball was in Millers hand, on the other side of Miller's body from Rondo, with Miller's arm extended away from Rondo. That ball has to be 3 feet from Miller's head (and Rondo's nearest hand). There is no way in hell that Rondo was making a play on the ball.

    So....homer is the wrong word to describe you. When I made that post, I would never have imagined that anyone but a Celtics fan could believe that shit was a play on the ball.
