Thoughts From The Dispenser

      Save Me is a 7 track EP released by Future on June 7th, 2019. After releasing The WIZRD in the middle of January, Future announced Save Me  on June 5th, just two days prior  to release. Future has consistently garnered chart-topping albums on the Billboard since his breakout hit iconic trap album DS2 in 2015. With this in mind, why did Save Me chart at five and only sell 42,000 units in it's first week? Future consistently gets up into somewhere around 100 thousand. It certainly isn't because it is lacking in any regards; this is some of Future's greatest work. In some part, it must be due to the little amounts of marketing and hype it had. Future has become a staple of "misogynistic trap", but this EP mostly strays away from that. Maybe listeners have gotten so used to that that they were turned off by this difference. Me? No way. This album is fantastic throughout its short run time of 20 minutes and 14 seconds. If this was a fully fleshed out album with...

    Well, I guess I'm back? I haven't written anything since the summer, almost half a year ago. A lot has happened in my life and with the Sixers since then. We got Daryl Morey, our messiah. We saw the departure of Brett Brown as head coach (yes I know it's the right decision, but I'll always love him and appreciate what he did for this team and the city) and replaced him with Doc Rivers, which so far looks to be a pretty good move (it was time). We do not employ Al Horford anymore (I will respect him as a player in general and as a human being, but by god did he suck with us. And good riddance to his annoying sister Anna)! We have surrounded Ben Simmons and Embiid with spacing for the first time probably ever in their careers (mainly Danny Green and Seth Curry as starters, still retain Furk, Shake who hasn't been the best this year from 3, Isaiah Joe, Tobi shooting damn near 40% from three because Doc is the Tobi whisperer), and that has really made a difference. ...

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...
