Mike Scott

I know that everyone is innocent until proven guilty, but I believe that Scott has admitted that the 35.2 grams of marijuana and the 10.9 grams of MDMA were his.

I do NOT understand HOW allowing him to play is GOOD for the NBA!!!  Does Adam Silver just rely on the FACT that MOST NBA fans are oblivious and know NOTHING about this arrest and pending case???

Why did the Hawks NOT take a stand on this and cut him??

On top of this, why was he not ejected after elbowing Smart in the jaw, which was clear purposeful??  Should have been a Flagrant II due to the intent, not a I!!!

The point and relevance is that IF Mike Scott had been cut by the Hawks in a classy move, they would NOT have won game one.

I thought it was quite clear.

Perhaps if his stash wasn't confiscated, he wouldn't have played as well tonight?

I was actually thinking of this during the game. When Scott hit Marcus I was like "oh wow this is that punk ass Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. who also had all the weed and was arrested; strange that he wasn't suspended or released or something"

Perhaps if we'd bothered to guard the Ganja Man, he wouldn't have gone off and the Celtics would have won game 1.

Of course, some would say we played good defense last night. LOL.
