Ingram 4 games, Rondo 3, Paul 2

ingram is a bitch for tripping for no reason

rondo is a bitch for spitting

paul is a bitch for not tryna knock out rondo

lebron for not talking to his teammates after the game

Lebron. Hands down. Calming it down on court is one thing but being a traitor after the game. Nah son.

Rondo has continued to maintain he didn't intentionally spit on Paul, however, as he told ESPN.com:

"I had a mouthpiece in my mouth and I exasperated because I was about to tell him to 'get the [expletive] out of here.' Look at my body language [in the video]. My hands on my hips. I turn away for a second. Look at Eric [Gordon] and Melo [Carmelo Anthony] in the video. If they saw me spit, they would have turned their face up or something. They had no reaction."


Rondo also suggested Paul only receiving a two-game suspension was due to Paul having a "good guy" image around the NBA:

"Of course, the NBA went with his side because I got three games and he got two. Everyone wants to believe Chris Paul is a good guy. They don't know he's a horrible teammate. They don't know how he treats people. Look at what he did last year when he was in LA; trying to get to the Clippers locker room. They don't want to believe he's capable of taunting and igniting an incident."

I don't like Rondo but I do believe he didn't spit on purpose. However, they suspended CP for only two games to his three because they thought Rondo started it by spitting, not because they think CP is a "good guy," whether they think that or not. Just like Ingram got four days for instigating the whole thing. And three days for Paul is going to cost him almost $500,000 to Rondo's $186,000.
