WTH John?!?!  Atlanta Sports strikes again.

[Spud2nique]

Just saw this? Damnit was it the cream? Ugh  

[kg01]

Oof

Just ... oof.  Inexcusable.

[Thomas]

Pretty stunning especially considering his family upbringing and just him in general. Is there possibly a lack of specific knowledge on his part?

[JTB]

I’m f***in pissed! Just gave his ass props for improving on defense! That’s so disappointing

Collins continued: "....in arbitration so I can get back on the court as soon as possible and continue to contribute to our 2019-20 campaign."

"...frustrated and disappointed in myself for putting all us in this position. I have always been incredibly careful about what I put in my body, but I took a supplement, which unbeknownst to me, had been contaminated with an illegal component. I plan to appeal my suspension..."

Looks like he didn't know. I'm hoping that's the case.

Can we have just, like, ONE nice, simple NBA season without shenanigans around here?

[Dnice]

Atlanta just stays phuked.  I thought we dodged a bullet with the Trae injury... gdammit....

[AHF]

Parker is about to get all the minutes he can handle.  Our frontcourt could be bad on an epic scale if Parker has to miss some time while JC is out.

Our lonely Hawks Nation turns its eyes to you, Alex Len.

There might be a game thread today. Might. I'm off to go get an early lunch and some fresh air. Air, please, be fresh today.

Too soon!  Too soon?

This is ridiculous.  Even if it was unknowing ingesting it, the stigma is sadly on him for good now.  Which is sad because it could indeed simply be a mistake.  It's not like he was caught with a masking agent like Ayton who clearly did something he was actively trying to hide. - That is a huge difference, imho

Second, is this our former GS trainers thinking the league will turn a blind eye to coloring outside the medical lines.  @Spud2nique ,your thoughts?

Lastly, are we actually testing dudes now or are we just giving sacrificial lambs to draw attention away from the superstars who are on stuff?  IOW, should Lebron be losing his hair over this?  #shotsfired

"Nah, nah it's .. prehab, kg." - LeB

Yeah fkng right.

[JTB]

Goodness....Collins is too important to this team to realistically expect many wins in my opinion. So back to the top 5 lottery we go.

Out of the 25 games collins is suspended we MAY win 7!

Absolute joke! Adam Silver go test Lebron right now! No? In a week, a month.. this is BS to the fullest. 
 

I believe John knew exactly what he was putting into his body. I’m sorry but people saying they took stuff by accident is like me saying I slept walked to in n out and had 5 burgers but no idea.  

Bay Area trainers perhaps in on this but they’ve been pumping crap into Curry for yeaaarrs. And Draymond. Did you all see Draymond’s noodle arms a week ago? 
 

Oh, it’s illegal in the NFL too right, test Nick Bosa and his brother Joey too along with 100 other dudes.
