    I believe I know the answer to exactly one of those questions: Toradol is prescription-only.

    but once prescribed by a team doctor, can a licensed trainer dispense it to players?

    I guess another question: is Toradol issued one dose at a time or can a player, say a player like Payton, be issued a bottle of doses and take them at his discretion?

    Someone more clever than me should make an account on a Warriors board under the name Toradol, and go just slightly over the top defending the Warriors and Blasting the Blazers, using dumb arguments of course.

    This won't completely answer that question but it at least gives a little context, although Schilling was receiving injections.

    Can I suggest using phrases such as "not to inflame matters", "sticking to the core of the topic", "I need to inject this to the discussion"

    Shouldn’t there be a Toradol shot drinking game? Every time GP2 gets mentioned on Twitter tomorrow you take a shot of your favorite libation.

    Warriors have bo choice but to keep GPII on the injury report for at least 3 weeks. Otherwise it damages yheir claims

    Reality is that a hit piece purposefully dropped moments before the Blazers press conference where it accused Portland of basically forcing Payton to play and injecting him with the drug and that he'd be out around 3 months. I've highlighted the parts that have already changed for some reason.

    You think that's an appropriate way, and time, for GS to communicate this?

    The reality I see is that I watched Payton play 22 minutes the night before where he mugged and played around with GS. And that Portland has no history of forcing players to play injured. And no history of concealing medical information during trades.

    The reality is also that none of the players on Portland have defended Payton, but one who was no longer even on the team went out of his way to defend the team and training staff.

    And the reality is that the story had come out that Payton had been at odds with the team, and the evidence has accumulated significantly since then to substantiate this (see previous paragraph).

    So now we've got Payton and Quick, who both have grudges against the Blazers, coming out strong with forced injections and 3 month recovery times and then GS, butt-hurt over 5 2nd round picks, asks for an investigation over glorified Ibuprofen to help their player save face and deflect attention to the changing allegations.

    Did Golden State really ask the league to launch an investigation because Payton willfully took glorified Ibuprofen on occasion? A player who'd played 15 games on limited minutes as he came back from a longterm injury, and anyone with eyes could tell he was playing like a shell of himself compared to last year. Were they not watching? That was public information. Not to mention GPII keeps in touch with people on GS. The amount Payton runs his mouth and complains I'm sure they'd heard all about it. Unless Payton thought taking a pill here and there wasn't even worth bringing up. Maybe it's not thug enough for him which is why he went with the injections in his initial lie.

    Yes they also said he'd be out 3 months. And now, since GS realized they walked themselves into a corner with the whole "3 month" accusation, decide it's really probably just a week or two before he can thug it out again.

    Why would a timeline suddenly be changed so dramatically? Weren't they confident enough with that 3 month timeline to go to the press with it? I mean the article clearly said, "But the Warriors’ medical staff, according to sources, is saying he needs about three months to recover". That's reality right? That's what it says.

    And don't you confirm a drug was fucking injected before you go to the media with it? What changed? If it had been the truth nothing would have changed.

    With the timing and the accusations that have completely changed, GS, Payton and the athletic and of course Quick, look like sleazy sons of bitches, and parts of this whole thing look completely premeditated by some entities who have a grudge agains the Blazers.

    It was just a timeline. Not super interesting or ground breaking.
