She’s clearly covering for him and trying to make sure players aren’t afraid of coming to the club. The dancer source said the gun freaked them all out.

Small business owners (especially one married to a mayor) are the absolute worst

if that was the case why in gods name would she throw the regular home players under the bus lol.

Ja can be a loving idiot waving a gun on Instagram trying to look cool, and also be generally nice and respectful to strippers/employees at a club.

Probably is covering for Ja not drinking that night, but shrug. that probably wouldn't be too hard to generally prove with video if they want to really go down that path.

Ladies and She-Hulks can't resist Murdock's Big Hallway Energy
Late to the gambling chat, but I want to tell y'all about my ex-coworker "Matt". He is the nicest guy you will ever meet but is a degenerate gambling addict.

In college he gambled away a semester of tuition and had to explain to his parents what he did. When he was working in a small market station that paid like a 27-30k a year [in 2008 money] he financed his gambling by doing weird shady errands for his bookie. Things like "Drive to Bridgeport, take a fairy to Long Island, drive to Levittown, buy a ticket for the 3pm showing of Cloverfield and sit in the third row, receive a bag from the man who will sit next to you, then come back with the bag and give it to me." He had limits, like he refused to get like 10k to drive a designated car to Orlando, leave it at some lot, and fly back to New England. Later he has to delay his wedding because the Dodgers lost the series to the cheating Astros, but the next year can do a destination wedding win the Dodgers win.

Anyways, NBA related, at the start of last season a photog friend of his who had moved on to a Boston station [where at the time you still couldn't bet on sports] gave him money to put on the Celtics to win it all. I forget how much but enough so that if the Celtics won the finals he would of won $20000. Matt says to himself "What a stupid bet, he just as well could of set the money on fire, I'm going to pocket it. Come March of 2022, he is panicking because it looks like the Celtics are legit contenders and he executes a complicated series of hedging bets to enable him to mostly cover this 20k. The C's lose and he's off the hook for his buddy but lost the hedges.

Needless to say, him and his wife keep their finances separate.

Wow Kawhi has been BACK for a minute now. He had five dunks in a game the other day. Not sure he’s ever had that before.

Pity the team as a whole can’t get their poo poo together.

1. Thinking the Celtics had no chance after they made the finals last year is done galaxy brain poo poo.

2. The Cs will win and his hedged bets won't come particularly close so he'll be 30,000 in the hole instead.

He’s been terrible. Nuggets bench seemed like it got way better with Bryant and Reggie, but they’ve both underperformed.

It's gotta be Laker Lebron though, which is still probably worth having in there.
