Dude has a life outside of basketball. He can't enjoy Halloween?
My athletic department in college, D1 program, had a 48 hour rule where athletes weren't allowed to drink 48 hours before a game/competition. And I believe that's a pretty universal thing for all D1 programs. So yes, I do have a bit of an issue with posting about turning up last night - 48 hours before a game. 2 out of my 4 years in college I didn't drink on Halloween because I was focused on my athletics and I didn't have a game 2 days after or even close. And after dog **** performances when i took the sport more seriously I was too pissed to go out because I felt I didn't earn it.
Ditto, I played lacrosse at a competitive D3 school and we had the same policy. But then again you're still a kid in college. Deron is an adult, so I guess it's not as big a deal.

Yes maybe in part this is an overreaction on my part. I'm just frustrated with him:
Lebron cuts sugar out of his diet for 67 days. Could DWill go a day without it?
Lowry was inconsolable after we knocked the Raptors out. Just sat ther in the locker room for hours without taking his jersey off. He was absolutely crushed about that defeat.
This is a tweet from Lillard before he made it to the NBA "Bouta head to the gym. . . Real players follow through with consistently puttin in work long after emotions have left their body." The guy who was drafted with the pick we sent out for Gerald Wallace and is now better than anyone on this team. Look at Derozan's twitter and Instagram and that guy is always in the gym.
I wish the face of our franchise was a gym rat with deep passion for the game. Whose passion is contagious, a leader, a guy who won't accept mediocrity. A guy who doesn't just talk about being 600 times better than he was last year, but instead lets his game prove that he is. It was another frustrating game for Deron in our opener and as a fan I'm frustrated with his continued laise faire attitude.
