Rondo facing "lengthy suspension?"
It's looking like we could be without a couple of our stars, as Rondo will undoubtably be getting suspended and KG possibly as well. The NBA does not take to kindly to fights spilling over into the stands and they also take into account prior incidents by players and both Rondo and KG have had their share of them. Let's hope Stu Jackson doesn't drop the hammer too hard on the Celtics.

Guessing that Rondo has a lengthy suspension coming, based on his history, his role as instigator and the fact fight spilled into stands.

Relevant precedent: The 2006 NY-DEN brawl. Nate Robinson and JR Smith got 10 games each because they continued fight into the stands.

Thought so, too. Will see what Stu Jackson thinks. RT @scottcacciola Watching clips of The Fight, sure looks like KG took a swing, too.
