Rajon Rondo channeled his inner bad boy and dropped Hornets guard Lance Stephenson with a nasty looking elbow to the face during last night’s game. Stephenson responded moments later with a subtle jab to the chin. Both players received technical fouls for their shenanigans.
After the game Rondo accused Stephenson of flopping. Uh, what?
Rondo on elbow to Stephenson: "He weighs about 60 more pounds than me. I don't think I was that strong on that play to knock him down."

Listen, Lance Stephenson may be a flopper and he’s certainly had Oscar worthy dives in the past, but damn Rajon, how you gonna call out a guy after going Rick Mahorn on him? Do these two have bad blood I’m not aware of?
