Oh I thought he was just being a troll

I miss having a promising lottery pick in our arsenal, can we trade Ibaka to the Knicks for a 1st round pick in 2024? It would end up being top 5

Can we give FVV a try as a starter for any upcoming b2b? Give him, OG and Val a chance to boost their confidence just before the Playoffs. Also Siakim and Jakob looked star struck in the closing minutes of the 4th agst the Cavs. We can’t have that if we want to make it to the finals

Next B2B is the Cavs/Celtics on April 3/4.

Hopefully by that time the Celtics game will mean absolutely nothing, we can throw everything we have at the Cavs and try to redeem ourselves and then rest guys for the Celtics game and get them fresh to finish out an easy 4 game end to the season

Oh wow. I'd love to beat the Cavs but it would be hilarious and a bonus to beat the Cs as well.

My director resigned this week and I'm being guilt tripped to attend his farewell lunchon. NO MEANS NO. I'll say goodbye to him on my own terms. Over 50 ppl are going, he won't miss me.

This watch purchase and some other random unexpected bills placed a huge hole in my wallet. Its supposed to be buffet place across the street that serves absolutely horrible food.

I made lunch for the week and it cost $20 for 5 days. Why pay $21 to go to a buffet when I'm on a diet on and a budget? Next snarky reply from someone will lead to me sternly telling people to F off. Offer to pay, I don't need a faux financial advisor. Goofs.

They don't know I'm still stressed over last night.
