 someone gif deandre's reaction please!  
 
10 games lol? Highly doubt it, 3 max. He's probably just mad because he's playing in Sacramento honestly.
 
Wow Thomas Robinson is such a class act. 10 games suspension minimal

Artest only got 7 for the elbow to Harden, and he has a history. This is 3 games, max. I only say that because Kevin Love's curb stomp of Scola got two games, and that wasn't quite as bad as this.
 
In case anybody else was wondering about marijuana and the NBA...

Will the marijuana amendment in Colorado affect the NBA?
By BENJAMIN HOCHMAN

Yeah, so it’s been pretty big news around these parts – Amendment 64 passed, which could make the use of marijuana similar to that of alcohol in Colorado.

So I e-mailed the NBA PR department to ask them if the legalization of marijuana could affect the NBA’s ruling on pot.

I was told: “It will not affect how marijuana is treated under our program. It will remain a prohibited substance per our CBA.”


I looked up the CBA. Here’s what it says:

If a player tests positive for marijuana during Random Testing or Reasonable Cause Testing, or he is convicted of, or pleads guilty, nolo contendre or no contest to, the use or possession of marijuana in violation of the law, he will be required to enter the Marijuana Program. A second violation involving marijuana will result in a $25,000 fine and the player’s re-entry into the Marijuana Program. A violation involving marijuana will result in a five-game suspension and the player’s re-entry into the Marijuana Program. A fourth (or any subsequent) violation involving marijuana will result in a suspension that is five (5) games longer than the player’s immediately-preceding suspension.

A player will be dismissed and disqualified from the NBA if he is convicted of, or pleads guilty, no contest or nolo contendre to, a crime involving the felony distribution of marijuana.

It, of course, will be fascinating to see how this all plays out. If marijuana is just like alcohol in the state of Colorado, and an NBA player can’t be busted for having alcohol in his system, then why would he get busted for having pot in his system?

great move by Jamal Crawford tonight but you just dont do that up 25 with seconds left. Will this year be his 1st playoffs?
 
Just remember where the Faried hype started.

It hadn't really occurred to me in the offseason, but between Williams, Lopez, Brooks and Blatche, the Nets right now might be my least favorite team ever. Any sport.
