@cptdankkk Different spin… Harden broke up a championship team over 4 million dollars. He was a no show in the finals. His ego took over and he bailed on a championship team over 4 million.
USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.
@Corner_Coyote Dude has a highlight reel of dirty plays in just this playoff run. He should be suspended via too many flagrants but that’s silvers golden boy. But you and others riding him is funny.
@MikeMummy40 You can do mental gymnastics all you want. “Foot positioning” isn’t the point of my argument. Even if it was Wemby isn’t setting a screen. He’s trying to switch matchups. Also using AI after saying you “know the game and played or coached” is fucking hilarious
@Kabbamoy21 He leaped into OG. He was not “pushed” Wemby tried to sell a call.
“Obvious smear campaign” lmfao like Wemby doesn’t have a highlight reel from this playoffs of dirty ass plays 🤣
@IIQHoops “Getting shoved” is hilarious when he’s clearly trying to sell. The defender doesn’t even lose balance when Wemby jumps. Clearly Wemby is trying to be reckless. You know what you guys hate on Lu Dort for doing.
@LoveTheOrange1 Pushed is funny because the Knicks player doesn’t get off balance after Wemby jumps off the floor to try and sell the call while also trying to curb stomp OGs shin through the floor.
Regardless not a natural motion. It’s either a flop, malicious or you’re a whiny bitch…
@SamHumphreys34 In 3 playoff runs Chet is shooting 49% from the field & 30% from 3. He took 51 shots in 7 games against the spurs. Paying him 250 million is highway robbery. Especially when we can never play him without an iHart type 5. He is the reason we aren’t in the finals
@MuggsyBouges@GeorgeStoia@Kurt_A_Eff Given that our championship window is open and we are about to be in the luxury tax. We could easily be looking at one of those moments where a player robs a franchise
@DParkOK@MuggsyBouges If he’s the hard worker you say he is why didn’t he come back better than last year after winning a ring? Still weak with the ball, still can’t dribble, shot still slow as hell. Dude gets erased by guards. Why should anyone believe he’s going to get better?
@AndrewDBailey Do you ever get tired of whining about the same thing everyday and not making a shit bit of difference? Youre a nuggets fan. Jokic flops. Watch the games or don’t… but you’re a grown man yelling into the void. No one cares
@MuggsyBouges@GeorgeStoia@Kurt_A_Eff I mean you’d think after winning a ring last year we wouldn’t be here with him. But if I’m being honest he didn’t really make many improvements from last year to this year. Guy is a baby deer with the ball
