Everybody by now is aware of the amazing comeback of the Clippers by now. It was extremely impressive, even if it was accompanied by the loss of Caron Butler for the rest of the playoffs. (4-6 weeks, broken hand) The more important story, I believe, is that of the Boston Celtics. The Celtics lost Game 1 to the Hawks, and it could have been one had Rajon Rondo not got tossed. On top of that, he now faces possible suspension following his dumb chest-bump of the referee. Rondo better get it together, because the way I see it, the Celtics have the best (and maybe only) shot at taking town the Heat. I’m not saying other teams can not do it, but with Rose and Shumpert out, the rest of the East just doesn’t look like it has what it takes. Rondo is a fantastic point guard, but he needs to desperately avoid issues like this on the court.

If Rajon Rondo doesn't step to ref, everything's fine. But he did and he's looking at Game 2 suspension. Dumb.
