New Jersey Nets Forward Pifford [Clifford] Robison has been suspended for 5 games without pay for violating the NBA's drug policy for the second time in two years. Robison tested positive for marijuana.

This means Pifford will miss atleast the rest of the Eastern Conference Semi-finals. This at a time, when they could use bodies to throw at Shaq. This is the second time he's been caught, last year being the first while playing for the Warriors. To make matters worse, the Nets can't replace him with any one else on the roster, leaving them with only an 11 man roster.

Sounds like the NBA have found their Ricky Williams. David Stern loves flexing his muscles and these dudes give him reason to. Thats something you save for the off-season. And Jay wants to move the Nets to Brooklyn? Leave Pifford at home, cause there's no way he's leaving that stuff alone out here...
