Does this mean after he comes back or can he start serving them now?
What did he take/do? Comeon, Al!

He has to serve them when he's not injured.
I mean shame on us for believing it was actually just cutting out fried chicken

Re: Al Jefferson suspended 5 games for drug violation

Re: Al Jefferson suspended 5 games for drug violation
Does NBA even test for PEDs? This sounds like weed or harder according to the NBA's anti-drug policy.

Re: Al Jefferson suspended 5 games for drug violation
Well this is random.
Be honest - if I gave you five guesses at who on this team would be busted for pot use, would anyone have included Big Al in their list?

Re: Al Jefferson suspended 5 games for drug violation
So Al wasn't as good as he could've been because he got really high and ate a lot of fried chicken?
I can understand why that would piss some people off, but I think that's pretty awesome. This fat, lazy stoner had everyone fooled.

Re: Al Jefferson suspended 5 games for drug violation
Hornets can make Al well as soon as possible to minimize the 5 games. If he's ready 2-3 weeks from when he was injured, declare him well after 2.

Re: Al Jefferson suspended 5 games for drug violation
With Batum also strongly implying that Cody is better than Al I think the front office has all the ammunition it needs to trade him. Come mid-January I expect Al will be with a different team.

Re: Al Jefferson suspended 5 games for drug violation
I hope PJ and Lamb just flushed all their weed down the toilet... well, at least Lamb. Could really care less if PJ gets suspended.
Who else on the team do you think smokes week? Cody, Tyler and Lin seem like the only ones that I am certain dont.

Re: Al Jefferson suspended 5 games for drug violation
It all makes perfect sense, Al Jefferson was NEVER a fried chicken addict. He was a marijuana addict, the fried chicken was just his food of choice when he got the munchies.

Re: Al Jefferson suspended 5 games for drug violation
I certainly did not see this coming. I don't even mind. Means 5 extra games of no Al and more of a likelihood that we trade him.
