Sportando: Stanton Kidd expected to sign with the Jazz

I know the pro-marijuana crowd sells it as a panacea, but is the new narrative that it’s performance enhancing?

Depends on what you are performing... basketball... no. But if you are competing in twinkie eating contest marijuana will help you dominate.

I actually remember a court case on this where a snowboarder was denied after testing positive for Mary Jane. In the end, the court ruled is was not a PED, which anyone who's had it could tell ya.

The Jazz need wings more than they need 4's.

Maybe... DM, Exum, Allen, Royce, AB all play or can play the 2

Ingles, Royce, Crowder, Exum and maybe AB can all play the 3 - 2/3 are fairly interchangeable.

Favs, Crowder, Thabo, and Royce? can play the 4

I assume Kidd would be behind all the guys listed as 2s and 3s in the rotation. If we had an injury to Royce for example I think Crowder, Exum, AB and Allen get some minutes or redistribute minutes from 1/2 to 3.

If Crowder got hurt are we giving Thabo 25 min a night at PF? Would Royce take the remaining minutes? I think he could play some at 4 but others disagree. I think if we had an injury to Crowder or Thabo that another 4 would instantly be in the rotation. So rotation minutes are one injury away.

At 2/3 I think it would take multiple injuries before someone is in the rotation. Kidd or Royce maybe able to play the 4 - Or I guess they'd be the big wing in a 3 wing lineup is more accurate.

Doesn't Thabo have to sit some games for PED violations?

WTF!!? When did this happen?? Where was I?

 

[mdalby]

It wasn't PED, it was weed.

^^^I'd play Udoh all backup 5 minutes, Favors 30 at 4, and work out the remaining 18 mostly with Thabo, depending on matchups of course.

Don’t know what the new narrative but I can tell you that weed doesn’t enhance my basketball skills.

There are martial arts and weight lifting athletes who claims it helps them train.

This is such nonsense.

Its a lie people tell themselves. Weed barely has any effect on killing pain. Seriously, who in the **** believes this crap?

Let me state for the record as I have before plenty of times. I have no problem with weed. Ive done it plenty of times before. I think its mostly harmless, and people should be able to do it if they want. Alcohol and tobacco are 50x worse easily.

You are lying to yourself when you say its some miracle pain reliever. No it is not. If you have back pain or something. That weed is doing nothing for your back. You may be able to tolerate it more because you are zoned off thinking about something else, but thats it. Pain tends to be worse when you focus on it. Weed is about relxing the mind and taking your mind off the pain. Or in other words burning brain cells so you forget stuff.. Weed is 90%+ easily all a head high. It can help you sleep, which can be construed as a pain reliever because you can get to sleep, but the pain is still there.

Weed is an addictive drug, and people mostly do it to mask other things like insecurities, mental issues, etc.. So they say its for pain to justify its use. Just say you like doing it for fun or for those reasons. Who gives a ****.
