Don't you dare!

And Brian Bosworth never touched the stuff either...nor Mark Mcguire!

Actually I don't want to accuse Griffin of steroids just yet...but if he all of a sudden loses 40-60 pounds and looks like a totally different guy, the question will have to be re-asked.

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

14 points on 42 percent shooting with 5 boards, 1 block, 1 steal and 1.5 assists in 31 minutes is a nice line but not incredible, especially under D'Antoni. People are expecting much more from Griffin.

Taking into account that Griffin's injury affects the most important part of his game, his explosiveness, and I think there is a lot to worry about with him.

yeah, i have to agree, a ton of Griffin's game is predicated on his athleticism & explosiveness... this type of injury can potentially severely affect his game... Gallo's game is about shooting so not as much as long as his back is loose enough for him to be out there to begin with... Griffin can still have a nice career in the NBA even if he loses his explosiveness a-la Larry Johnson, but he won't realize his full potential unless he can come back from this with it largely intact... just goes to show how thin of a line it is from being a shoe in bluechip star prospect to a bust potential prospect in professional sports... all it takes is 1 injury to completely derail your career... hopefully that's not the case w/Blake... he seems like a genuinely good kid who has worked his ass off to get to where he is now.

After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Im not saying one way or the other, but Im not sure a fractured kneecap is attributable to steriod usage but correct me if Im wrong.

Now if he was pulling muscles left and right, Id be suspicious...

The clipper curse strikes again.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Ever since John Y Brown snuck the team out of Buffalo , they have been cursed !

Off topic, but any thoughts as to whether Beltran's knee issues are due to 'roids?
The new new core: Randle, RJ, IQ. Maybe Mitch. Future pick. Future trade. Future FA.

This is never a good way to start your career, it takes forever to gain your confidence, and your never gonna be as explosive, you become a role player real fast, and thats what both Oden and Blake will eventually become once there healthy enough.

Oden is just a soft ass big man flat out.
