Blind Item #5
One of the reasons given for this drop off a cliff season performance by this former A list NBA player who a team has certainly being counting on is the medication he is taking for his mental health. It does not seem to be working with what he needs to do athletically.
Carmelo Anthony?
ReplyDeleteI forgot about him. He’s a good guess too
DeleteJakim Noah or Derrick Rose??
ReplyDeleteThanks @MD! Though you probably got it there(haven’t been following much)
ReplyDeleteI don’t know that the Rockets are depending on Melo, lol. Maybe Gordon Hayward? Blind implies there are other reasons & he is coming off an injury.
ReplyDeleteHayward makes sense for this blind. I wish enty was more specific as to what the team is counting on the person for though. Counting on said individual in general is much different than counting on them in order to compete for a championship. Celtics don’t count on Hayward per se but they would need him to be playing at a high level to be competitive in the finals.
DeleteDraymond Green?
ReplyDeleteKlay Thompson is in a slump too but don’t think the Warriors are depending on him.
ReplyDeleteCarmelo http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/11/what-happened-to-carmelo-anthony.html
ReplyDeletePoor dude. Maybe his doc can prescribe him something else that won't interfere with his ability to play ball.
ReplyDeletedraymond green
ReplyDeleteCarmelo isnt even playing anymore he was so useless for Houston and nobody wants him. Draymond has a lot of anger problems and he stinks this year so +1.
ReplyDeleteTest
ReplyDeleteThose drugs will turn you into a Zombie.
ReplyDeletevery upsetting. i can relate.
ReplyDeleteits like, why take them and feel like im dead when I can just kill myself and get the same experience?
modern pills for mental illness have a long way to go. so much of them just suck, dont work well enough or make you worse.
sure makes a lot of $$$$$$ for the pharmaceutical industry though....they want us in pain enough to need it, but alive enough to pay for it.
could be chris paul / houston rockets, the "cliff" could be a reference to his state farm commercials
ReplyDeleteKevin Love/ had to “takeover” the cavs from LeBron
ReplyDeleteAny team depending on Anthony or Rose is crazy. Neither have ever done anything other than cause problems.
ReplyDeleteEh, f*ck it, give him a dual diagnosis with ADHD, pump him up with Adderall, it's what they do in baseball.
ReplyDeleteLakers looking to pick melo up if the meds ever work...lol

ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for whomever this is. I had to read the blind twice because there is an NFL player who said he is choosing to focus on his mental health. I think I read it in Sports Illustrated but I am not sure.

ReplyDeleteHayward is coming back from a serious leh injury that happened 5 minutes into his first game as a Celtic last year. This shouldn't be him, anything he gives them this year is a bonus.

ReplyDeleteJosh Gordon likely using the mental health thing as a cover for failing yet another drug test.
This fits Draymond.
And the Warriors are certainly counting on Klay!
Hope everyone that needs help gets help.
