Back in March, Big Stan popped off about all the attention given to the Celtics injuries. And now that his starting point guard has been suspended one game for foolishly slapping Eddie House in the head, Big Stan is opening his fat trap yet again.
Turns out, he's the only one still thinking about Rajon Rondo's foul on Brad Miller in Game 5 of the Bulls series. Here's Big Stan's response to the league's decision to suspend Rafer Alston:
"I think it's clear in the rulebook that that's what is called for,"
Van Gundy said about Alston's suspension. "The question everybody has
is, 'Why when Brad Miller is going to the hoop, can you just take a
swing?' You know, the only ones I think that agree that he didn't wind
up and follow through were Stu Jackson and David Stern. I think
everybody else, including Boston fans, know he wound up and followed
through."
Wow. It's not often a head coach acts like a whiny bitch.
Unlike Alston or Dwight Howard (elbow to Samuel Dalembert's head), Rondo was attempting to make a play on the ball. Anyone unable to see the difference is a moron.
One other note, Courtney Lee will play tonight in Game 3. He will come off the bench.
