0 for 1 already. As a KU fan I'm disappointed in Cleveland. I hope Wiggins pulls a Kobe and makes them pay.

It's crazy that there have been two injuries like this in basketball over the past year. In the past, the gruesome compound fractures only happened in football.

So, another star player is conveniently losing a lot of weight (muscle) very quickly. This time it's Carmelo Anthony:

From what I've read, this is the first season the NBA has mandatory HGH testing. So... what's your GM opinion? Suspicious, or not? (take a look at the lebron pics a couple posts up... yikes...)

I didn't know that about the testing, but now that I do, I think it is a little suspicious. I just don't see any motive for a player like LeBron, who has a very physical playstyle, to cut weight like that, unless he had to. It'll be interesting to see if any other players have slimmed down, and if the way these two play is affected.

Actually, strike that. Don't know if HGH is actually being tested for yet. Just read a number of people claiming it was. And remembered that the new commissioner was pushing hard for it:
Incoming NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said in a New York Post report Tuesday morning that the league will look to add HGH blood testing of its players, a policy change that will likely come once the NBPA names a new executive director. Silver, who will replace longtime NBA commissioner David Stern in February, added that he knows it will get done


Anyway, this whole rapid weight loss thing already happened in baseball. And we all know why. So it makes you wonder...

Holy shet, almost didn't recognise Melo.

I could see the benefit of slimming down to extend careers, but didn't think about the HGH angle. Possibly flushing junk outta their systems....sad if it's true.

Here's my one bold prediction:
Wizards get the 2nd seed in the East and win the NBA Finals behind the dynamic duo of John Wall and Bradley Beal.

Team chemistry may also be a big factor as well.
