Michael Rapaport will hard foul someone, likely one of the chicks, draw blood then stand over them screaming "you just got 50 shades of red m*ther f*cker"..............and people will be confused if he is talking about the blood he drew, making a current pop culture reference or speaking to the colour of his hair.

10 day break in between games helps us get healthy, but I think that's too long. Id prefer just 6 or 7 days max.

we really need it. I'm not complaining. These guys need to rest up and focus on the second half of the season. Not like we had any rhythm in the final 3 games leading up to the break.

The no legged camera hogging kid with the super creepy cheesy smile is annoying as hell.

Hope he's the one who ends up the recipient of the Rapaport wrath.

That #23 for the white team is an actual, current WNBA player?

She looks like she ate Raymond Felton!!
