    Oh no. Before this, I thought KT would be the odd man out with Griffin looking for minutes.

    My how the tables have turned. I think Mo is gonna be showcased for a trade.


    The Rockets have NEVER tolerated this kind of behaviour.



    This is so tupid of him, instead of doing the little things to not completely drop off the face of basketball, he goes and does this..

    Showcased? He's not even playing because of the achilles problem.

    I guess you have to have something to kill time when you're on the injured reserve list.

    I think Mo Taylor is beating the system here.

    All the Rockets have to do is when Mo is nearly ready (but not quite yet) is to activate him and then he'll sit out the five games.

    I think it is a shame what he did though.

    Sportsradio 610 just reported the same story, and announced the Rockets will have a 7pm news conference with "more details."

    Great point...they can just activate him before the end of THIS (meaningless) season.

    Im not surprised that he does it, just that he got caught. Almost every nba player smokes weed.

    How come it's always the young players that get caught? Once, just once it'd be cool if like a Karl Malone or Mark Jackson got tattled on...

    NY playground ballers who are older dont do drugs because they want to help the younger ny ballers. = Mark Jackson

    Actually his suspension won't begin until he is physically able to play in a game. Here's the link.

    There are varying definitions to "physically able to play." Barkley made it back for his "final" (we hope) game a couple years back. As long as he can go up and down the court for 3-4 minutes, I would be surprised if the Rox don't activate him for the final couple weeks of the season, just to get the suspension out of the way.
