Ricky suspended for 5 games.

Drug violation.. No need to really get antsy about it until we actually figure out what he took. Seems our season just keeps going downhill either way.

What. The. Heck.

Things just keep getting worse and worse! What's next? We trade for Brand and he tears his other Achilles?

We really know how to pick em, eh? There's a reason why the Jason Williams' and the Ricky Davis' in the NBA signed here for so cheap. Add that to a Barren Davis who wants to head back up north...

Now you have to ask what is wrong with Fred Jones?

Who cares, Ricky was playing like crap. I'd rather have Fred Jones get the time then Ricky any day of the week. Now, only if we can play Novak instead of Mardy "I'm doing my best to be QRossv2.0" Collins

I don't think the issue is whether its morally wrong to smoke weed. The issue is the idiot who chooses to risks over $150,000 in fines and game checks so that he can get high.

It takes more than a few times being caught to get a suspension like this. And I don't think that they even test in the offseason. So basically Ricky Davis has been caught several times smoking weed during the season, and knowing that he had this huge fine/suspension looming, decided that he STILL had to smoke more.

I.D.I.O.T.

RIcky, you're not a rookie anymore. No need to pull a Darrell Arthur/Mario Chalmers. You should be slick enough to blaze without getting caught...like the majority of the NBA.

Never liked the guy, is it possible to like him less than I do already?

WTF. Ricky Davis has probably been the worst FA signing by any team this year. I kept hearing about how he put it all on the floor for Miami when they had that bad season, and was a real solid contributor. I thought he'd really be a nice complimentary piece to this team off the bench. Instead, he played terribly when he shouldn't even have been playing at all with his hurt knee, and now this. I'm glad your doing something productive you ****. Instead of rehabbing in the gym and lighting up the net, he's lighting up that purple.

I guess he got bored before he could come back and play. In all seriousness this doesn't add any good to an already disappointing season.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!
