Hahahaha STFU


Do you even like rap music?


Absolutely... I've been producing (boom bap) beats for the better part of ten years now. So yeah... I'm a bit of a fan. But if Lil Wayne is the best a person can come up with, then I have to question their actual knowledge of the genre. I guess it really just depends on how long you've listened to it.

Ever see the movie Gremlins? He's actually in that movie! Ya see....A long time ago, somebody spilled water on Nick Cannon...Oh wait ...I think Mariah fed him after midnight? Either way.... That's how this all got started.

Through last week, his most notable mistake over the course of two Olympiads in charge had probably, in my estimation, been overreaching his office to help kneecap Sam Hinkie in Philadelphia.

I never got the criticism or dismissal of this kid by some. From the first time I saw him as a rookie he looked like a kid who was going to become a great and impactful player. The Magic have a gem there.

I despise Silver and always will for what he did to this organization, creating forever a "what if...?" that will never be answered, and potentially costing us a chip or multiple chips. I hope that Morey can salvage something from the mess that Silver's henchmen created and the ensuing clown show continued, but it is now down to a short window where anything good can come of what Silver did here.

After this team ages out, it's Process again; if for nothing else but to stick it to Nosferatu.

Also, where is the outrage at what Utah is doing?

The only problem i have on his game is he is TOO right dominant. Once he develop his left hand, he has a chance to be a wing version of Luka.

Franz and Paolo duo is gonna be what Tatum and Jaylen hopes to be.

Next for the Magic is to find 6’9” bigs who can switch and shoot 3s.

I also would trade Cole Anthony while his value is pretty high. Once they get to the playoffs and Anthony gets exposed, his value may take a dip.

Franz and Paulo will have to show defensive chops to be Tatum and Brown.

Wendell Carter is a 6’9” big who can kind of shoot 3’s. Bamba can also shoot 3’s, is much bigger, and can block shots.

Yeah, i think wendell can be like their Al then Bamba can be like their timelord.

Franz can be a very good defender. He’s known to be one in college.

You literally brought him up ... out of nowhere I might add.

I was saying it last postseason but I think the Celtics are gonna Isaiah Thomas this dude. Rushed him back from a meniscus injury and had him limping all over the court. Trash franchise.

Doc stay losing.

We thought we had the horniest coach in the league and now we don't even have the top dog in the division.

They say an analytics man doesn't have a heart, but I ran the numbers and nothing can be further from the truth - Sam Hinkie probably

Glad to hear it was consensual at least. Thought for a minute Ime Udoka was gonna become IMeToo Udoka.

Oh, Udoka is gonna end up outta there IMO.

Celtics ownership has been under the radar bad for years now.

It's done. Wow.

They'll decide on his future beyond this season "at a later date". Translation - what is public opinion, and how well do the Celtics do with Mazzulla?
