I seem to remember MLB players being indicted for the same problems the past few years...Not accusing anyone, just sayin' -- Juice time in the NBA ??:dunno:

I thought the same thing last night when he made that baseline dunk (powerful and amazing). He is too talented and has too much invested to get mixed up in roids. Then again, look at A-Roids.

They got owned.

:dunno:

I guess you have a different interpretation of 'owned'...

So what if they were up and lost?? If the whole game would have been within 3 points would you still say they got owned??? Look at the final score...

Yeah...Orlando would have owned the cavs if they would have led the entire game by 15....

Stopped cold, stunned, owned it's all the same.
I believe the fact that they we're ahead by 16,
at home, and they lost. That's is the point.

The NBA drug testing policy is no where near as stringent as the policies set by the NFL, MLB, and other sports organizations around the world.

The NBA only tests players randomly during the preseason. Rookies are tested randomly 3 times during the regular season while veterans escape any scrutiny. The league has the authority to issue a random drug test on any player during the season with probable cause.

In the NFL, 10 players from each team are randomly chosen to be tested every week of the regular season and post-season.

In MLB, each player is tested once between spring training and the regular season. The league reserves the right to administer additional random tests at any time.

In the NBA, there are 32 banned steriod substances. Human Growth Hormone (HGH) and other related growth hormones are NOT specifically stated on the banned substance list. In the NFL, there are approximately 80-90 banned Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) ranging from steriods, hormones, masking agents, and other compounds. In MLB, there are 46 banned PEDs including HGH. The NBA is seriously behind in maintaining its banned substance list.

HGH can only be accurately detected through a blood test and within 48 hours of its use. Urine tests cannot conclusively detect HGH. What's interesting about the MLB and the number of suspensions that have taken place, most of these suspensions were not for HGH, but for other banned substances including items commonly purchased at the local drug or health foods store (Sudafed, Actifed, Ma Huang, etc.). In the case of Manny Ramirez's infraction, he did not fail any drug tests but instead was popped because he provided MLB a copy of a prescription of a banned substance. He inadvertantly turned himself in.

So is the NBA dirty when it comes to PEDs? Hell yeah.

David Stern said in 2005 that NBA players don't need PED's because their skill set is different than those required in other sports. That's a bunch of crap. Performance Enhancing Drugs has shown up in every major organized sport where there the athletes earn money for their performances. If the sport requires strength and/or recovery, then PED's will provide an advantage.

NBA drug testing is somewhat like NBA's officiating - it's a joke.

I would not be surprised if the new generation of NBA players were taking PED's (especially HGH) in high school where there is ZERO TESTING.

As I said before, if you give LeBron a 50 point triple double and hold the rest of the team down, the Cavs can be beaten.

LeBron had 49. The rest of the team scored 47. 5 points from the bench. Brown's lineup and rotations need to be changed. He's been to the finals, but he coached like a rookie. Delonte West 47 minutes for 11 points? Feel free to stick in Daniel Gibson when West goes cold. Gibson played only 3 minutes and Pavlovic never got off the bench.

Can we proclaim Ben Wallace as officially done? He looks like he's got absolutely nothing left in the tank.

Please provide Documented proof....:dunno:

I dont see how you still defend your point of the CAVs getting owned. It is clear that the got owned. You were up 16 points on your homecourt in a Finals and you lose the game. How is that not ownage? Remember the game is 48 mins, it doesn't matter how good you do the first 3 quarters, you blew the game and let other team OWN you at the end, the result is the final say. Thats OWNAGE. ORL OWNED the CAV in the last 4 minutes of the games, and came out with a W. The other 44 mins dont mean anything if you can't hang on for another 4 mins. They look like a whole bunch of D-leaguer at the end. Stood around and waited for their best player make play. Thats not NBA Finals. Yeah, the final score maybe only 3 points but, it DOESN'T MATTER. You got beat by 1 or by 50 is the same. This is the best of 7 series, not the best of "who score more".

Game btw Lakers and Nuggests was awesome! Seeing Kobe upset and Lakers lost to Denver that makes me feel great (sorry Lakers' fans!). Kobe Bryan is just another good player in any NBA team.
See how he upset that teamates didn't give me the ball when o'clock show 4.3 second to go.
My co-worker told me this morning that "not only us hate Kobe, his teamates don't like him either" hahaha

Watching WCF series, Denver will beat Lakers and play final with either Orland or Clev. As of today, Lakers should trade Kobe and rebuild team in order to persuit NBA ring.
