Okay, I've been half kidding about Reggie and the alcohol, but this is like the third time he's been puking since he came to Pistons.

It's Marcus Morris' world and we just get to live in it, you guys.

The previous post is off topic and would be moved if Vinny hadn't taken away my admin rights.

I don't think the NBA tests during the season for weed but he looks like he lights up a lot.

All players are subject to four (4) random tests each season (from October 1 to June 30). All players are also subject to two (2) random tests each off-season (from July 1 to September 30). All such tests are scheduled and conducted by an independent, third-party entity and are without prior notice to the player. The NBA and the NBPA are not involved in the scheduling of any tests or the selection of players for testing.
More importantly, if the NBA receives information a player may be cheating with drugs, that player can be brought, within 24 hours, before an independent medical expert with the power to order a rigorous course of testing. There is also a special course of treatment that allows NBA drug offenders to turn themselves in voluntarily, and as long as they abide by certain protocols, avoid punishment.

The NBA’s first confirmed performance-enhancing drug cheaters received five-game suspensions. More recently, 10 games has been the norm. As of the 2011-2012 season, the punishments have been ramped up. For a first doping offense, it’s a 20-game suspension. A second failure calls for 45 games. A third positive test results in banishment from the league.

In contrast, a first failed test for “drugs of abuse” -- cocaine, speed, heroin, LSD and the like -- results in instant disqualification from the league. In some cases, most recently Chris Andersen, such players are later reinstated.

Marijuana has its own more lenient standards, where a first positive test results in treatment, a second positive result means treatment and a fine, and third positive test calls for a five-game suspension.

His eyes look yellow = liver damage = booze

His eyes reflect the fear in his opponents i.e yellow.

Exactly.

(Also have been checking my eyes for yellow since last night...)

Dude, there are way, way, way more things that can cause jaundice or liver damage than just booze.

Yes, but combined with lots of vomiting and not being popular with teammates it's the best case I can piece together.

I understand that. But there are so many factors and things and other things that have to be looked at.

At the same time, if he were drinking that much, I have to think there would be no way he could play the way he's been playing, even with lapses and stretches. People forget how Probert's alcohol abuse was destroying him as a player in so many ways. I don't think Reggie would be able to play at an NBA starting point guard pace drinking like that. And I would like to hope that if he's at that point in a substance abuse problem that the Pistons or someone would help him.

That's it, Stan, keep trying to that trade value intact.

They aren't doing a very good job hiding that there's a problem here
