Cliff Robertson has been suspended 5 games for a drug violation. DURING THE F*IN PLAYOFFS. I understand the issues with steroids, but this is too much and demonstrates the NBA's problems. My title may be over-exaggerating a little, but I think this is the single most egregious act of drug abuse in the history of sports.
But relating this to the topic, I think this devestates any chance that New Jersey had...who is going to stop Diesal now? Robinson has been averaging about 24 minutes - half the game. If Shaq has anything left in the tank, and I think he clearly does, he is going to steamroll however is matched on him, expect to see Hack-A-Shaq return with a vengeance.
This is so dissapointing...how devestating drugs can be. Sure, he makes millions, and lives a life of luxury most can't even imagine, but he is still a slave...its depressing.
