Hunter Hunted

Henry Abbott at TrueHoop seems to think Lindsay Hunter came off well in his press conference on his drug bust. I would agree, with the exceptions of parts like this(from Detroit News, via HoopsHype):

"I know how I am, my wife knows, people who know me, know me. You can't control how people judge you. It's the league rule, and I have to abide by it. I hope people are not thinking I'm walking around now smoking marijuana."


Yeah, because your average Joe probably thinks weed is a lot worse than Amphetamines. In fact, maybe you should stick to blazing with 'Sheed rather than trying to crank on your wife's 'scrip.

Lindsay Hunter: Trying to Make the Cheerleading Squad?

Lindsay Hunter just got slapped with a 10 game suspensh from the league for testing positive. No, not for testing positive with audiences, for drugs. Read this(from FanBall):

Guard Lindsey Hunter was suspended for 10 games on Wednesday, the NBA announced. Hunter tested positive for phentermine, which is on the banned list. A search on webmd.com shows that phentermine is a prescription used to fight obesity. Hunter has not appeared obese during the season, so this is a bizarre story. Luckily he has no fantasy value, so this will not affect any lineups.

Agreed. That is both bizarre and a fantasy non-factor. What is this dude getting in shape for? Dance class? Prom? Weird...
