Thoughts From The Dispenser

I did a report 4 years ago for my English class on Hack-a-Shaq. I fucking killed it, but my teacher gave me like an 80 or something on it. Hater. I wish I still had it somewhere, but I'll stick with just re-doing it. This might just be a big messy block of text. Plz still read it. Background      Hack-a-Shaq is a strategy employed when a team takes advantage of a poor free throw shooter, named after Shaquille O'Neal (career 52.7% free throw shooter). Although it's named after Shaq, the origin can be traced back to Wilt Chamberlain (career 51% free throw shooter). Because he was so dominant, teams were more willing to send him to the line to make free throws rather than give him the chance to score a field goal. This forced the NBA to create a new off-ball rule; when a player who does not have the ball or is not trying to obtain it is fouled during the last two minutes or overtime, the the team will get the free throws and possession (Wilt pioneered a lot of rule c...

     Sure this is supposed to be an NBA blog. Most of my posts are about the NBA. What the actual fuck am I supposed to write about during the quarantine? God bless all those who actually have to do this for a living; I just write whatever the fuck I want to in the matter of a night (no wonder why everything is so shitty). I'm sure you all know how much I love my music. I'm also sure you can guess many of the albums that will show up on this list. That being said, these are some of my favorite albums I have ever listened to. Lil Uzi Vert - LUV Is Rage 2 Release Date: August 25, 2017 Favorite Tracks: Two®, Sauce It Up, The Way Life Goes, Malfunction, XO Tour Llif3 Least Favorite Track: Skir Skirr      This album may be my favorite album of all time; the only thing I can really consider a challenger is Eternal Atake (and I already described in an early post how they cannot be compared, so I won't say that one is better than the other). Two® is a...

     This season was a disappointment to say the least. I'll admit it, I was really excited during the offseason and by god did I not exactly have fun. I genuinely thought they should have pushed 60 wins this year. Losing Jimmy Butler meant more than I thought it was. Don't even get me started on Alfred fucking Horford. What a fucking disappointment. The Sixers had a record of 39-26 (49 win projection), good for 6th place in the East. We should have been pushing for the first seed. We can't win anywhere except home, going 29-2 at the Wells Fargo Center while going 10-24 on the road. Jesus Christ that's bad. If only we could play every single game at home. I'm not going to even think about what would happen if the league comes back sometime this year, especially if they can't play in front of a home crowd. Here's what I have to say about the Sixers this season, involving players who got consistent minutes throughout the year. I wanted to write about players l...

     This quarantine fucking sucks. Fuck Rona. I was supposed to get an internship this summer to satisfy a class for my major, but obviously I wasn't able to do that. Because of this, I have no idea what is happening with my graduation plan. On top of that, I've realized that maybe I'm not cut out for the major I chose (sport and recreation management). I have no idea what to do with my life. I've had some really bad thoughts in my past and some of them are returning. I'm having an existential life crisis at literally the worst time.      I'm not sure what to do with myself during this time. I love to write, but mostly about the NBA and the Sixers and, well, that shit ain't returning anytime soon (I feel like I'm going to cuss a lot in this post, I don't give a fuck anymore).      So what do I do? Well I've been playing a lot of video games, working out, going for walks, and trying to talk to my friends (not working out too well, which is ...
