Louis Williams Making Kissy Faces Means the End of Winter

by Michael Levin on Dec 1, 2011 12:27 PM PST in Sixers Non-News

Though actual winter may be here for those of you still in the Northeast (HA) and though the Stark's and Lannister's don't reconvene on HBO until April, the winter of the NBA's discontent has come and gone after 149 days of cold, wet negotiations. Reporters are being let back into facilities, players are trying their old jerseys on again - this is the great exhale after the scrotum-clenching months of angst and ignorance.

How do we know basketball is officially here? Louis Williams, the only Sixer who is currently at PCOM, is speaking to reporters! Picture from Kate Fagan...

That is quite the face from tha BOSS. What do you think he's saying? Seems like he's in the middle of a W-- or a "oo", something to make his lips pucker. Possibly even Sideways Blue Steel? Let's take a few guesses.

Well...I've been really working on my one-on-one game this winter and I'm prepared to take more shots.
If you liked my first few singles, get ready for my album: Boss, Thugs, and Speezy.
What do you mean, high usage rate?

The only guy there? That earns him a few points in my book.

Ed Snider is a crotchety old fuck.

That is all.

No one showed up to the lakers facility today – no one

You can’t work with coaches, assistant coaches or even team trainers. I see now reason for guys to show up if they have folk they been working with during the summer. It’s a publiclty thing but no actual work or interaction between franchise and players can occur yet. No problem with folks not showing up just yet. Best they could do is play pick up ball

Careful...

Thou shalt not ridicule the Boss…(insert track)…"I made my first million ‘fore I ever got laid…(fade to silent)…for a thoughtful analysis of some of the Boss’ lyrics, see also:

http://threesecondviolation.com/2011/03/18/an-analysis-of-lou-williams-rapper/

“…A curious admission, and potentially hilarious. Referencing Williams’ annual salaries, we find that he made $450,000 as a rookie, and $664,200 in his second year. Once we account for taxes (and ignore any potential endorsement deals (which, given his status as 45th pick in the draft couldn’t have been particularly lucrative)), it seems as though Lou would not have made his first million until his 3rd year in the NBA. I think you’ll agree that the notion that anyone besides AC Green could spend 2+ years as an NBA player without managing to lose his virginity is nothing short of priceless…”

how many of the fade away threes resulted in a mean-muggin’ strut?

I don’t normally read this blog, but if you incorporate more Game of Thrones references in here, I’ll be an avid reader

I don't normally read stats, but when I do, the names Detweiller, Eric or Don are involved.

I don’t know about you, but there’s nudity in every episode. And violence…how does one fall asleep with two of those in the equation?

Because after the boobies and blood you need an engaging story to keep me interested (boobies and blood are easy to find and blood never really appealed to me as a selling point in anything) and I find it a boring story full of ‘political intrigue’.

If the only reason you watch anything is boobies and blood, more power to you, but never really a reason for me to watch anything

by JohnHasADHD on Dec 2, 2011 7:43 AM PST up reply actions

ah, i just love the show because of the political intrigue. There’s a lot going on, and multiple angles being played. I think it’s fantastic

Did you enjoy the lord of the rings movies and or books?

They also made me sleepy and felt drawn out and over wrought

by JohnHasADHD on Dec 2, 2011 7:56 AM PST up reply actions

gotta evaluate the books and movies on a different level. The books were very drawn out, but highly rewarding during the actions scenes. There were periods where I couldn’t put the book down, others where it was like a trek through a marsh

the movies?

less rewarding than the books. the movies were very well done, but didn’t give me the thrills that the books did

Then

it seems we just might have different tastes, i got very bored reading descriptions of trees, or shrubs, that took a page and a half and put down the lord of rings book less than 20 pages in and never picked em up again (and an avid genre reader for about 30 years now)

As for the movies, I found them sleep inducing and the most interesting thing awas the homo erotic moments between the two hobbits, hasn’t been so much unintentional tension since top gun

by JohnHasADHD on Dec 2, 2011 8:15 AM PST up reply actions

didn’t find the Battle for helm’s Deep interesting?

you’re killing me smalls

I don’t find battles interesting, not really, i find them drawn out in movies, like love scenes – usually they are pointless to the story to be so drawn out – i’m not a prude – i just value the story, and a love scene in todays movies seems drawn out and ridiculous and doesn’t help the story – the implication that two characters have had sex (unless something pivotal happens during) advances the story in the same way. I know battles are slightly different but in general i find them going on way too long

Just me :)

Top Gun was unintentional? I was pretty sure that was a softcore gay porn movie.

I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, there will be no trade for Monta!

I figure it this way, tom cruise is one crazy individual living in the closet, if it was intentional he wouldn’t have made the movie :)

It’s the best show on television with Breaking Bad.

That’s a matter of opinion and debate not suitable for this blog of course :)

But While I enjoy breaking bad, I can think of a few shows I consider better

Hell – two of them are on FX it turns out

Louie.

Love the show but I don’t think you can compare hour/half-hour. Louie and Community are my half hours, Breaking Bad/Game of Thrones are my hourlongs that literally make me poop bricks every episode. BRICK POOPIN.

I miss Ivy – that show invented the term “brick poopin”

I wasn’t thinking Louie

I was thinking SOA and Justified. Can’t stand louie (or sunny, it’s an embarrassing show and an embarrassment for philly – but the league is an awesome shoe)
