I am officially convinced the NBA does not want to even remotely try to repair their crooked image after this bit of news.

Ridiculous.

I think they are leaving Rondo in because of the series. I don't care if this is a first round series or not but this is definately the best series i've ever seen. I think they are leaving Rondo in either to make sure that game 7 continue's like the rest of the series or they are doing it to give the Celtics every chance they can to win the the series. How embarassing would it be for the media who've been promoting a Celtics and Cavalier's series all season long and the Celtics get knocked out in the first round by the upstart Bulls. I would love the Bulls to pull the upset and see just how far they can go in the playoff's.

as much as I would love to see that happen I think the likelihood is pretty slim since that is not what David Stern wants. The NBA is the most corrupt league in sports by far which is why I will not support it in any way...other than watching the Bulls on TV....Go Bulls!!!!

I just started watching Basketball again because of the Bulls. I think next season will be another story though. I think the Bulls will have a better team.
