One Game Suspension for Rondo

Nothing unexpected here. One game suspension, so we'll have him back for Game 3.

To beat Atlanta in Game 2, we're gonna need more from Paul Pierce, a more consistent effort from Kevin Garnett, and something from Avery Bradley and Brandon Bass. But we'll probably need something else, too; a contribution from an unexpected source, the way Reggie Evans sparked the Clippers to their incredible come-from-behind victory over Memphis in Game 1 of their series. If I had to pick a candidate, it'd be Marquis Daniels. He's played well recently when he's gotten minutes, and he's an experienced player who can score a little bit. Daniels gets this honor almost by default, too, as Sasha Pavlovic and Keyon Dooling have been far too bad/erratic to expect much from. It'd be nice if Mickael Pietrus got hot from three, too.
