I'm Not a Jinx Guy, but I Can't Stop Thinking About the Celtics T-Shirt Giveaway Before Game 46/14/2022
The Golden State Warriors will be crowned NBA champions in a little under 50 hours, and if I take my Celtics-colored glasses off, I can admit that it's a pretty cool narrative given their last two seasons.
Even though the Celtics have been beating themselves, I suppose GSW earned it. They stay composed and play entire games, unlike the C's. I'm not a jinx guy; I don't think these shirts caused the Celtics to score two baskets in the last 7:26 of the 4th quarter in Game 4 or waste a comeback in Game 5 only to piss down their leg after a miracle shot, BUT given where they currently stand... Whoever thought this shirt was a good idea should be fired or at the very least get a stern talking to, but I think a new job would be best.
Dude, I was just as pumped as everybody else when we were up 2-1. I didn't think it was over, but I mean, I definitely started having those "holy shit, this could really happen" thoughts; similar to ones that crept into my head when the Patriots were up 17-9 in Super Bowl XLVI during a then seven-season Super Bowl drought.
Should the Celtics lose this series Thursday or Sunday night, they're setting themselves up for ridicule all off-season with these overzealous shirts and the obvious jokes that come with them. If I've said it once, I've said it a million times, but I don't love the whole "it's all about 18" thing because it's very New York Yankee. My disdain for these shirts isn't revisionist history. I didn't like this move as soon as I learned about it.
I'm all for free sponsored shirts for fans paying over a g note for nosebleeds, but seriously, who the fuck thought this was a good idea? It'd be one thing if we were the dynasty, and these were like it's all about 21 shirts, but when you haven't won a championship since Bush was in the White House and have a history of blowing series leads...idk, maybe wait to boast or count championships? You know the Warriors saw these and used them as fuel. Again, not a jinx guy, but the C's were up 2-1 before these came out and now they're in the midst of their first losing streak since late March and on the brink of elimination. I'll gladly go fuck myself if we end up winning in 7 and eat this blog, but dropping these shirts before the deal was sealed was bad vibe city. Better luck next year. Again, not a jinx guy and congratulations Warriors on your 4th title since 2015! #GoldBlooded

Singer songwriter Lizzo has rereleased her new single "Grrrls" with a lyric change after it sparked heated discussions online about ableist language.
The song, which is set to appear on her upcoming album Special, received praise and excitement from many fans upon its release last Friday. Others, especially those within the disability community, expressed concern about her use of the word "spaz," which many consider an ableist slur. It originates from the term "spastic," which has historically been used to describe people with spastic paralysis and cerebral palsy. Often used in a derogatory way to describe people in the disability community, "spaz" or "spaz out" has also been used to refer to someone losing physical control or simply acting "weird" or "uncool." Webster's New World College Dictionary defines it as "someone regarded as being clumsy, awkward, stupid, odd, etc." Lizzo released a statement on Monday acknowledging the "harmful word" in her song and announcing a rerecorded version of the song without the slur in it. "I never want to promote derogatory language. As a fat black woman in America, I've had many hurtful words used against me so I overstand the power words can have (whether intentionally or in my case, unintentionally)," she wrote in her statement.
It's no secret that I am not a Lizzo fan. I haven't fucked with her since I saw her open for HAIM in 2018. I've since eased up on the reins and even laughed at a few of her SNL skits a few months back, but I don't think it's cool to promote obesity. Therefore, I don't fuck with her entire brand. Yes, I've written about body positivity in the past, and maybe I'm just projecting some of my own self-hatred and jealousy of her confidence. Still, as someone with medical issues derived from obesity, I do not support condoning an unhealthy lifestyle. I'm not saying you should go around body shaming people, but saying it's okay to be you and all this shit to XXXXXL girls is wrong.
I touched on that in my last blog, but as a white dude who's perpetually worried about getting canceled for stepping on the wrong landmine online or unearthing something stupid I said decades ago, I want to get in front of it and say, as a fat, that I don't fuck with it from any race or gender identity. Like, the new Jackass guy shouldn't be idolized either. He's a fat slob who's gonna die before 2030 if he doesn't make some serious changes (just like me!).
Five years ago Dozie would say how fucking stupid this story is and how "you can't say anything anymore without offending somebody," but I've matured a little and don't want to make life shittier for marginalized people.
Change sucks, I get it, but IMO it's a wicked selfish and scummy move to purposely continue using outdated language. Like my friends will give me shit for calling them out about using words that I used to say without batting an eye, but IDK how else to say it other than I've grown up. I'm not perfect. I watch myself online, but I've let a few "that's r-worded" slip. But terms like that aren't part of my vocabulary and I can just say "that's dumb" instead of sounding like an 8th grader suffering from male pattern baldness. I at least consciously try to improve myself. If you're like, "I'm not changing; I've said it my whole life," you're just a dick and sound like a fucking loser. It's time to grow up. You sound ignorant. There's a big difference between a 19-year-old in 2011 saying it and nearly 30-year-olds dropping r-words (or worse) in 2022. Admittedly, I never use the word "spaz," so this instance doesn't really affect me. It's not like getting me to stop calling things I don't like, like salads or the Yankees, "gay." That took some fucking time, but if we can have a dialogue instead of jumping down people's throats, then maybe real change can happen. You get more flies with honey than vinegar, right? I'm sure some "outraged" people gave Lizzo shit, but that's always going to happen when you have as big of an audience as she does. Seeing people say, "oh, I didn't realize that's the root of the word," and dropping it from their vocabulary is pretty cool. Until yesterday, or maybe the day before, definitely within the last week, I didn't realize that "spaz," used to describe a wild, off-the-wall kid, originated from spastic as in spastic paralysis and cerebral palsy. I never made that connection. I low key still don't even know what spastic paralysis is. I do find humor in the people who didn't even know the term this story is about because it's censored on many outlets, but not everybody is perfectly enlightened. Instead of "canceling" someone, teach them and give them a chance to change and grow. When I was in either late elementary or early middle school, sometime between 3rd and 5th grade, we'd play "smear the queer" at recess and after-school care, and I didn't realize the root of the term because I was a fucking child. Then one day, one of the babysitting ladies or a teacher said something to us about using not calling it that. I don't remember it super well because, again, I was a child, but the point is sometimes people say outdated/offensive things without realizing. Of course, there are levels to it. Legitimate racial slurs are worse. Nobody is getting canceled for saying spaz (yet), but before this story (and probably even after cause I'm sure millions haven't seen it) I think it's safe to say most people didn't realize the origin history of the term "spaz," and why it might hurt others. Apart from pulling back the curtain too far in this blog, I'm trying to express a little tiny, weenie bit of respect to Lizzo for changing the lyric and learning from the situation instead of throwing a hissy-fit about "how you can't say anything anymore." I still don't fuck with her shitty music or covering rolls with dental floss and expecting people to be cool with it.
If you've read more than 20 DOL blogs in your lifetime, there's a great chance you've seen a reference to the comedy masterpiece that is Nathan For You.
Nathan For You ran for four seasons on Comedy Central from 2013-2017. On the show, Nathan Fielder, a graduate of one of Canada's top business schools (with really good grades), would use his knowledge to help struggling business owners make it in this competitive world. If you've never seen it, I highly suggest reading this blog I wrote two years ago with suggestions of episodes to check out. If you don't want to give me the click, I'm such a hashtag good guy that I'll give you The Blues Smoke Detector for free. I love the show that much.
So you're probably thinking, "Dozie, why does the world need Nathan For You more than ever, as your blog title said?"
Well, friend, it's because I'll see something online that touches upon a topic from the program every few weeks or so.
Ironically, while I was in the waiting room at my doctor's to discuss the repercussions of my obesity, I saw this story on Instagram that made my gravy blood boil. Some TikToker (that I've never heard of) with millions of followers named Remi Bader WeNt ViRaL for not being allowed to ride a horse due to her weight. One look at her, and you understand why she was denied; that girl chonk.
I know a little about how the internet works, and clearly, the text on the photo is written to make it seem like discrimination to garner interest. "Fat people should be able to do anything!" gasped the out-of-breath woman after climbing four stairs. But, from watching Nathan For You, I know that not just anybody can ride horses. There's a reason jockeys are so tiny that they can sleep in cupboards. Horses cannot handle the weight of a larger person.
Being the savvy businessperson he is, Nathan found a way for obese people to ride horsies while keeping the horsies safe so businesses wouldn't lose out on that potential market.
Suppose you dive a little deeper into the story/clickbait (read the entire caption) and see that it's really about being disrespected as a fat person, which, I'm sorry, is not news. Democracy is on life support, and corporate greed is out of control. How about a little more coverage on that instead of some fat chick dealing with the consequences of her food choices? Would it be news if Danny DeVito was barred from riding a rollercoaster? Then I dove even deeper (ran a quick google search) and saw that other publications are using this same story to garner clicks and generate ad revenue.
Here's the TikTok that Remi posted putting the ranch on blast.
Queer folks can say the British word for cigs without repercussions. As a person who's closer to five bills than three and literal Twitter pronouns are fat/fuck, I can say this without fear of consequence.
SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU FAT BICCCCCCCCCH!!!!
Should fat people be treated with basic decency and respect? Of course. All people should (minus fascists and their sympathizers). But we're not an oppressed group like black, Asian, or Jewish people who were mistreated (understatement of the century) because of things out of their control.
Get the fuck out of here with this misleading bull shit that you were discriminated against because of your size. Someone called you a fat bitch; get over it. That's not discrimination. It's not like calling you a fat bitch prohibited you from buying property or accessing water. Also, the elephant in the room; she claims in the TikTok caption that she's ridden horses and never had this happen before. How many pounds ago was that? I've high-key put on 150 lbs since losing 70 in 2019, so I can ask. Plus, look at this guy. You have over 2 million TikTok followers. This allegedly teenaged hick can barely put a sentence together. Who gives a fuck what he has to say? I'm not defending him at all, fuck that guy, but "being embarrassed" for being fat because Forrest chin Lump talked shit is not newsworthy, FFS.
The fact of the matter is not all people can do all things. I'm sorry, ladies, but we'll never see a woman play quarterback in the NFL. Speaking of seeing, color-blind people can't be fighter pilots (s/o Little Miss Sunshine for that tidbit). I can't enjoy a lovely wicker daybed in fear of turning it into kindling. That's life. Guess what? Super fat people can't ride horses (without balloons) because of the risk it poses to the horse. You would've been prepared if you watched the great Nathan For You. Don't cry about a "lack of advertising." If you kept up with the highest-rated Comedy Central show on IMDB, you would've known this already.
Nathan For You ended on November 9th, 2017, which means there are nearly five years of issues that need Nathan's fixing. Just think of all the small businesses he could've saved during Covid that the government let die while giving small business loans to professional sports teams. I would've loved to see Nathan's ideas to maximize profits with social distancing. I wouldn't be surprised to learn he was behind outdoor dining aka eat your burrito in our parking lot. I'm sorry this quasi-celebrity who's famous for being fat got a dose of reality, but as a fat/fuck, stories like this drive me crazy. Yeah, if you weren't hired for a job because you're fat, okay, you've got a case...but then again, some jobs require physical fitness. Firefighters shouldn't have hanging guts. I had to pass a physical to cut off people's electricity. Can I say I'm being discriminated against by women who don't wanna fuck me because of my size? Cause I'll take my restitution in juicy redheads.
Just make your little TikToks showing how brave you are for letting your gut flap in the wind and let the horsies live in peace before they're turned into glue and dog food.
P.S. It's a big day for Nathan For You. And Kirk, please check out #DozVsTheDozen. I can get your team to the next level.
Song: Too Bad/Cursed (2022) Artist: King Princess Album: Hold On Baby Two songs for the price of one this Tuesday. The Celtics Are on the Brink of Elimination After Folding like a Cheap Suit in the 4th Quarter6/13/2022
That scoreboard really says it all.
The Boston Celtics picked almost the worst possible time to have their first losing streak since late March, as they've now dropped two straight to fall behind 3 games to 2 in the 2022 NBA Finals: Presented by YoutubeTV.
I'm so fucking mad right now because this team is killing themselves. It'd be one thing if Steph had another monster game, but Golden State was extremely beatable tonight. They showed that by not blowing out the Celtics early when they had a chance and surrendering the league for a solid chuck in the 3rd quarter. They let 'em hang around and for a brief moment it looked like the C's took that next step towards a title. This was their chance to steal another game in San Fran. Steph Curry didn't hit a 3 for the first time since the fucking Nixon administration, ending a litany of records.
The Warriors won this game, and credit to them for keeping their composure and exuding the will of a champion, but the C's did themselves no fucking favors with sloppy, piece of shit basketball. Tatum had FOUR missed free throws. The C's went 21-31 from the line; four of those makes came from scrubs in garbage time. Jaylen was terrible (especially early), and the bench was nonexistent. You'll never believe this, but turnovers killed the C's once again, as tonight was all about 18 GIVEAWAYS. I don't have sabermetrics to back it up, but most felt unforced and careless.
This is basically another way of spelling out the start to this blog, but this sequence tells the whole story.
After it looked like the C's would go into the quarter with the lead, Jordon Poole hit a deeeep three to give the Warriors a lead they'd never relinquish.
The officiating did the Celtics no favors tonight.
But it's hard to blame the officiating when you turn the ball over 18 times and miss 10 free throws. It just fucking sucks because this was a very winnable game and when the C's needed to show that championship heart, they fucking collapsed. Sure, it was cool to see them bang like eight straight threes after an arctic start behind the arc, but that doesn't mean shit when you come out flat against a Golden State team playing their B- game.
The no back-to-back losses narrative is dead, and soon the 2021-22 Boston Celtics will be too if they don't figure it the fuck out. Maybe they're still too young, but they've shown they can hang with GSW throughout this series. It's been an incredible run, but it's so frustrating to see this team beat itself and be soft AF. If the Warriors were indeed better, you could live with it. But the C's have shown glimpses of being the superior team, but GSW runs circles around them in mental toughness and heart, which matters tenfold in the Finals. If the Warriors were on the other side of that Jordon Poole three to close the quarter, they would've shook it off and kept their cool. That lapse defensively to give up that look and surrender the lead after a fantastic quarter just killed this team, and we saw it in the 4th. A true champion brushes it off and competes. It took the C's over eight minutes to hit their first field goal of the 4th quarter. Sure, some credit has to go to the Warriors' defense, but talk about turtling when the lights are brightest. Just a gross display of offensive basketball. The Celtics aren't dead yet, but if they come out flat on Thursday like they did tonight, they're gonna watch another team win a championship on their parquet floor. Hopefully, they can keep their perfect record in elimination games (3-0 these playoffs) alive for another night, but this one will sting for a while.
I watched Game 4 of the 2022 NBA Finals: Presented by YoutubeTV, at my buddy's house with like 8-10 people, depending on the time of the night. Mixing it up with a bunch of bros like God intended; it was a blast. There was enough shit talk and reefer for two dozen grown men and the potential for it to be a fantastic prelude to Summer. Sure, it was a pretty back and forth game, but it felt like the C's would find a way like Drake Bell to pull things out. Then they decided to stop playing basketball and ruined the weekend.
Now the 2022 NBA Finals: Presented by YoutubeTV, are tied 2-2, and Golden State holds all the momentum with tonight's Game 5 on their home court. I am nervous about our Boston Celtics and the shoulder of Jayson Tatum. I don't think it's a stretch to say he's banged up and not in a fun way like 8-10 bros muckin it up on a Friday night.
Not that JJ Redick needs anymore internet praise, but he's right. Tatum isn't playing well. I love him and don't want to ever see him in another uniform, but the fact of the matter is he's the reason the Celtics aren't up 3-1. Sure, they were able to survive his 3/17 stinker in Game 1 (mainly in part to his game-high 13 assists), but JT just isn't able to finish right now. There's a lid on the hoop. He's ice-cold. Listen to the numbers JJ gives you; if you're a green bleeder, you'll want to throw up.
He's clanking lay-ups, and bricking wide-open looks. He may be a superstar on paper, but his play says otherwise. Shrinking in clutch time like your dick in the ocean. Through four games, he's shooting a historically bad 34.1% with 14 turnovers.
You heard JJ; in the second half, he's even worse. I don't want to make excuses and say it's the shoulder, but you gotta hope it's something physical because if it's mental, that's not the "Mamba Mentality."
I recently saw a video on Twitter where Shannon Sharpe said there's a seat at the superstar table with Tatum's name on it; he just has to claim it (or something along those lines). If he figures shit out in hopefully the next two games, three if necessary, the seat will be his. That's the beautiful part of this. We know Tatum has that next level in him. We've seen it multiple times during this run, especially Game 6 in Milwaukee. He just needs to put two solid games together where he isn't throwing up Russell Westbrook shooting nights. The great thing is, as shitty as losing Game 4 felt; it's still only 2-2. The Celtics aren't behind in this series or on the brink of elimination; they're very much alive. This playoff run's been full of emotional ups and downs, like a rollercoaster. An emotional rollercoaster, if you will (wow, how's nobody ever thought of that phrase until this very moment; 3:37 pm EST?). I was convinced we were dead after Game 5 vs. Milwaukee. The C's beat the Heat despite going 1-2 at home. All season long, right when the C's looked dead, they were brought back to life like Evanescence's signature song. How many times do we need to mention that they were 18-21 in January?! I remember watching this team lose back-to-back to the fucking Wizards. Think about where they came to get to this point. Yes, losing Game 4 fucking SUCKED and should've never happened. But we're still in this bitch. They can still win this series. The C's have been resilient AF. They're 7-0 off a loss these playoffs and great on the road, 8-3 to this point. Right when you think they're gonna crumble, they show you what they're made of. I'm much more of a football guy than hoop head, but the key to success in basketball isn't that much different than football. Turnovers are key. If you lose the turnover battle, you'll PROBABLY lose the contest. That's been pretty much case and point for the C's this playoff run. They're 1-6 when committing 16 or more turnovers and 13-2 when the number is 15 or below.
In my 30+ years on this planet, I've been lucky enough to witness my teams win 12 professional championships. While I might not fuck with some of the organizations like I once did (burn in hell, John Henry), let me tell you, it's rarely easy to win it all. Look at all the past Boston champions since 2001. None were easy.
It's never easy to get a parade. If the C's want to win it all, they can't be like me and sulk after a tough loss, and to their credit, they didn't, but these opportunities don't present themselves every year. Yes, the Jays are young, and some other key pieces are locked up for a couple more years, but the East is loaded. Giannis isn't going anywhere. The Heat will be back. Who knows what's up with Philly and Brooklyn? Steph Curry is phenomenal, but after him and Klay, the Warriors are not that crazy of a team. It's not 2017. The Celtics are a much more well-rounded roster but sometimes can be a little too soft for my liking. They aren't killers and aren't clutch late in games. Are they going to bounce back again or be footnotes to the Warriors dynasty rebirth? They'll be the first ones to tell you championships aren't easy (even though they sure made it look that way in 2017 and 2018). Tatum might be the star of this team, but he's not the only guy out there. Everybody needs to step up and play a full 48 minutes. I feel like the C's got comfortable up 6 with over seven minutes to go and then thought they could out-Warrior GSW with forced three balls. There are still over four hours to tip-off, and I'm a nervous wreck, but I believe in these guys. Of course, I took C's +140 tonight. Gun to my head, this feels like a C's win, or they get blown out. I don't see GSW winning by like 2. Jayson Tatum's play has all the sports media talking heads saying how terrible he's been this series and deservingly so. 34.1% won't get it done. All the turnovers and disappearing late are NOT superstar moves, but he can put all that shit behind him tonight with a big, efficient game that leads to a Celtics victory. It won't be easy, but winning a ring never is. Hopefully, Steph can calm tf down from three too. Song: Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me (live in Sydney, 1986) Artist: Elton John Album: Caribou (1974) If the C's don't win Game 5, I'm worried their sun will go down! They haven't lost back-to-back all playoffs, tonight would be an awful night to start.
I'm still debating whether I'm gonna ub and pull over to watch the game on my phone, possibly meet up with some friends or even spend a mortgage payment (not that I'm anywhere close to homeownership) on Game 4 tickets, so I'm gonna try to be quick. I am nervously excited about this game.
Through TEAM basketball, the Celtics put themselves in a position to fully take over this series and put the 2021-22 Golden State Warriors in hospice, but it won't be easy.
All playoffs long, we've heard about how the Celtics haven't lost back-to-back games since March, but the same can be said for Golden State (although they had a gross March going 5-11). We've seen the Celtics play great throughout this playoff run, then let their guard down. They haven't lost back-to-back, but they've laid plenty of eggs after huge road wins; Game 5 vs. Milwaukee, Games 3 and 6 vs. Miami. The last two series shouldn't have gone 7, and of course, you have to give credit to the opponent, but not to sound like Johnny Celtic, the C's have beaten themselves. It's the turnovers, the standing around, all that shit. We can't have it tonight. Sure, I'm worried about the NBA trying to extend the series, but you're in a prime position to go up 3-1. All you've gotta do is win a home game against a team you just beat by 16 points. They said the last game was a "swing game," but I feel like every game is. The difference between up 3-1 or tied 2-2, going back to San Fran is monumental. I'm trying to not get ahead of myself just because the C's won on Wednesday. Let's not forget they blew an 18-point lead in that game. The Warriors are still the Warriors, even if they show signs of age. I know Draymond is nowhere close to the player he was at the beginning of their dynasty; Klay missed like 1000 days. I struggle to remember the rest of their roster off the top of my head, but Steph is still a fucking problem (especially when the C's keep leaving him wide open on the pick n' roll #hoopheaddozo). He's been solid this series but still hasn't had that full nuclear game where he drops 40+ and shoots like 70% from 3. S/O Marcus.
It sounds so elementary, but it truly comes down to the Celtics defending home court. Like I said in the blog on Wednesday. Just win at home, and you're NBA Champions. Go back SF up 3-1 and let all the tech bros who don't care in their luxury boxes say goodbye and great season. Come home up 3-2 and close it out next Thursday. I believe in you, C's!
The Jays have been solid through three games, although you'd love to see like three more PPG from both of them. I need MORE. Show the world why you're the best wing combo since buffaque (I almost went with my heart and said garlic parm, but I know the readers will relate more with buffaque).
The question is, who's gonna be their 3rd option? In Game 1, Marcus, Al, and Daddy D-White all went off. Then in Game 2, three of the Celtics' five starters scored two points each. Wednesday night Marcus had one of his best games of the playoffs, dropping 24, 7, and 5 on a very efficient night (for him). His performance is an excellent metric for whether or not the C's win basketball games.
I'd love to see Grant drop 20 tonight. He's a hashtag good guy and deserves it!
We know the Warriors are gonna come out in that must-win mode (even though they know firsthand that a series isn't over just cause someone's up 3-1), but will the Celtics? They cannot afford to be happy with two wins. Two wins won't get you banner 18. You cannot get comfortable and think just cause you're at home that it's a sure thing. These Warriors have seen it all and aren't gonna die unless you kill them. You gotta curb-stomp the dynasty to defeat it.
It's now 4:23 pm, and if I want to get down to Newport for the start of that Friday night rush before I stop to watch the game, I gotta go. I guess I'm not going to the Garden tonight (although if you hmu in the next 2-3 hours I might), but if there's a chance to get in the building for a potential close-out Game 6, I'll spend 2K on nosebleeds, IDC. That's an experience that doesn't come around every year. Hopefully, someone buys my fucking Pontiac already so it's like I'm going for free. Fuck, see, I'm getting ahead of myself. We have to win tonight. All that matters is tonight. Get that W and go up 3-1. Don't let GSW get back into this series. Fuck Draymond. Go Celtics. Go Dozo. Thank you to everybody that reads this frantic ramble. It's time to BLEED GREEN!!!!! Song: The One I Love (1987) Artist: R.E.M. Album: Document Please, please, PLEASE win tonight Celtics.
I didn't get out of bed for good until around 3 pm...as a bit, and I thought this story would've died by now, but apparently, the Warriors are still super offended by the Celtics crowd last night. I'm no psychologist, but I'd say this is a little more projecting their anger from a 16-point loss than actual offense from "curse words."
Wahhhhhhh, the crowd chanted "fuck you, Draymond" after he repeatedly treated Celtics players like a blocking sled! How dare they!?! Give me a FUCKING break.
I've said multiple times throughout this series that I genuinely like Klay. I thought he was cool, but he sounds like straight-up calamari (a squid for older folks) here. Anybody who says "classy" in this way unironically can fall down an elevator shaft for all I'm concerned (not literally). This isn't a gala event. It's the NBA Finals. Stop fucking crying, you PUSSY.
Now, if fans are chanting racist or homophobic shit, that's not cool, and I'm not going to act like that's okay. Fuck that noise, but swearing? Buddy, you're crying about swearing? From the opposing crowd? What do you expect? The whole "kids were around" thing is such pandering bull shit. I've taught for bits and pieces of the last seven years; nobody swears more than kids.
Speaking of racism, this feels like a bunch of dog whistle "Boston's racist" shit, which is tired AF. Do you really think people cheering on Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Robert Williams III, Al Horford, Grant Williams, Derrick White, and Ime Udoka are RACIST??? Does Boston have some unfortunate history? You bet your mother fucking ass it does. More than a lot of places, but this is the United States of America. Almost every other major city in this country has some racist shit in their past that they're not proud of; fuck, some are still proud. Where's the pushback towards them? To paint an entire group of people or an entire city with the same brush seems sort of...
Draymond Green's wife's IG story after the game is some of the most over-the-top bull shit I've ever seen in my time on this planet.
I'm so over this "let's act like being in the NBA is the same as being an accountant" bs too. You're a professional athlete getting paid millions to play a game. Wipe your eyes with some out-of circulation $10,000 bills on the way to your mansion, you rich bitch. Who the fuck is saying NBA players aren't human? Also, I'll play the teacher card again. I got shit thrown at me. Kids treated me like literal garbage while trying to make an actual difference in the world. I love sports (arguably too much), but you play a fucking GAME. Who gives a fuck what the fans say? You're rich.
Also, Warriors fans would NEVER!! hahahahahahaha
I hate this phrase, but in this setting, it's true....Boston is "different." We're not gonna suck our opponent's dick (unless that opponent's Tom Brady)-- lest we forget!
This one is hilarious. Like, it's such a fucking lie. Did "another" have a fucking tally going?
Not the middle finger!?!??!
Draymond's response to that was actually cool too. I respect the realness, which is why I hate this whole ordeal so much. It's hypocritical nonsense.
LOL @ the great irony of crying about swearing in front of CHILDREN!
I'll give you that shit and fuck aren't on the same level, but I'd bet my life if he's saying shit around his son in a press conference setting, he's heard him say a lot worse.
Also, I get it; people change. I'm nowhere close to the man I was in 2016 (thank God, but I'd kill for that body), but Klay was singing a much different tune about players dealing with "rude" fans back then. — Chris Underhill (@seeyoucommenter) June 9, 2022
Game 4 is gonna be a blood bath. If the Warriors don't want to go home down 3-1, I suggest they worry more about Draymond giving them more than 2 points than what fans say after he tries to rip Jaylen Brown in half or pancake Grant Williams.
My future boss put it perfectly. C's in 6.
UPDATE:
This is why Adam Silver is the best commissioner in the Big 4. Sure it's sort of by default, but he's a solid guy!
