Make no mistake, this could cost us the top seed in the East. |

I do not see Rashard being that type of person/player by any means. DHEA probably just slipped through the cracks...i mean it can happen, especially if they were just a nutritional vitamin supplement. We can't start bad mouthing him......anyone can make that mistake. he is the type of player to play by the rules....he doesn't have to "cheat" because he already has one of the sweetest shots in the league....so i do not see why you would think he intentionally tried to "boost" his performance. but all we can do is just wait and see what comes from this! |

Rocks blocking shots on guys with dreadlocks
|
yeah because its in most of the vitamins and supplements you get from GNC, so im sure he was trying to get an edge over other guys with that

Honestley, I was kind of relieved to hear it was only 10 games. The title of the story on ESPN made it sound like he was banned for the entire season. We'll be fine. I have full confidence in Matt Barnes. |

This is not the weirdest news I've seem. Not for one bit. To understand this as a Major league drug story is that if he lied about it and felt unreliable to trust about his intentions. He told the truth and being honest about it, I would give credit to his honesty, but he would've paid much attention as to what he is doing with those drugs. Now the questions that I am going to be asking from now on is this, "What did he use those drugs for a purpose and how long has he have been using them????" ![]() To quote what he said about his "unintentional mistake" and the team:
Does it damage the image of the team regarding the drug allegations and how much and how big is that damage going to look like in our team?? MAGIC: Lewis Suspended |

Don't know enough of the story to really comment on Lewis, but overall this is a major blunder that might end up costing us a #1 or #2 seed down the line. Hopefully it isn't the case, but we're losing one of our most important weapons in a conference that should be tightly competitive between Orlando, Boston, and Cleveland. |

Oops. Well you know, a year ago I would have been real dissapointed with 'Shard. But recently I've delved into the world of supplements. I've got no idea how these pro athletes & trainers keep everything straight. There are so many supps out there and all are different and everyone you talk to will give you a different opinion on each one. You'd think by now there would be more standardized regulation for these things. I'm so confused that I won't be taking any just yet. |

As soon as I heard the news, the first thing that immediately popped into my mind was that this is a blessing in disguise. Now we are going to find out if Gortat can get value playing along side Dwight at the 4. We're going to see if Bass can be the starting PF that we needed. And it will give Ryan Anderson minutes early in the season to see if we can use him a decent amount this season. Barnes will probably back up MP at the 3 spot, which will allow JJ to back up VC and this is basically his last shot with us. If he's ever going to make it with us, now is the time and this could be a huge opportunity for him. Not to mention, that is 10 less games of wear and tear on those knees that have hampered Rashard in the past. As long as we can avoid the injury bug, I think this could really go a long way toward molding our team for the rest of the season. |
