lol...it wasnt elvis...it was mickey mouse

which by the way---heard a really corny domestic relations/divorce joke the other day..... ill share it with you because you are such a good guy.....



Mickey Mouse was getting divorced from Minnie Mouse. Mickey had a conversation with his lawyer over the phone, and the lawyer asked him to come into the office to more fully discuss the divorce.

Mickey goes to the lawyer's office and sits down with him. The lawyer starts the conversation "Mickey, I am sorry to hear you are getting a divorce, but from our phone conversation, it sounds like you said Minnie was starting to act strange, do weird things".

Mickey says "I didnt say she was acting strange. I said she was fucking Goofy".

That can't be. Mickey got kicked out of all casinos in Las Vegas for 3 years 6 months ago when he lost his cool @ the craps table & sucker punched the dealer.

Well at least you got to sit out all the shit talking that would have happened earlier in the season. You got to come back just in time for the playoffs, where everyone knows not to count out LBJ. Couldn't have worked out any better for you.

Cavs are still dangerous. Even if they were an 8th seed, there's no way I'm betting against LBJ.

A lot being made of the recent 76ers winning streak...

... but, man, they've played a garbage schedule during that time. Best win during the streak is over a Jimmy Butler-less Timberwolves squad... and that may very well be the only playoff bound team of the bunch.

Every team plays bad teams. The streak itself is overrated because of the opponents but I’m excited for them to get to 50 wins. You don’t hit 50 wins solely on a big winning streak. It’ll be a testament to the work they put in this entire season and the progress they’ve made. Plus it’ll be a nice selling point for them to bring the King to Philly.

Yeah, gotta believe Lebron finds a way until he doesn't. Plus, the Cavs seem to be playing their best ball at the right time.

I will...

he folds like a cheap umbrella when things don't go his way...as seen before the last trade deadline...

It's part of the development of a young team. For a young team to progress, they need to reach a point where they are beating the teams they are supposed to beat and beating them the way they are supposed to (every win except one was by double digits).

The Sixers seem to have that now. Next step is learning how to play in the playoffs. They get their first lesson this year.

it just worries me, that with all the injuries and trades, that this team has actually been on the court, together and at full steam...i mean.... i dont know if they have even had 1 game where everyone that will be in the playoff rotation has been on the court together.

A good, tough first round series that tests them and helps them gel would not be the worst thing. And then onto slaughter Cryrie in the 2nd round.

 

[knowyourenemy]

Fact. lol

Seriously though, from what I've read and heard from lawyers that specialize in that...Lebron doesn't appear to have much of a case. One even said that sending that letter shows that Lebron didn't listen to his lawyers. lol

If this goes to court though, you're right...gonna be some serious billable hours rolled up and some lawyers with fat checks coming their way.

He doesn’t have much of a case. I think he’s making a big stink about it just to get free publicity for “The Shop” or whatever it’s called. See, I didn’t even know “The Shop” existed prior to this week. Now I know it exists and I even know its name.

its been a trying season with all the trades, injuries, and drama. Not too mention Tristan lost his ball sack somewhere along the way.....recently Nance Jr. has pushed him a little bit to have some pride and at least has him trying again.

Yup. I’d love to see them win a playoff series. We’ll see. Part of that will depend on opponent. Once they’ve got that under their belt, it’ll be nice to see them continue to progress.

Tristan did lose his balls. Klowee KardASSian cut them off.

That sucks. All lining up nicely for the 76ers to take the East, though.
