Raptors are winning in 6

Y’all have watched the NBA media and their dumb opinions. Here’s my dumb opinion…6 reasons they win in 6.

1. The Klaw: Kawhi Leonard is a cyborg, the mandem should be in Terminator. He’s there to get buckets and go home. Dude is a psycho and Draymond Green will get exposed trying to defend him
2. Defense: Rapz have 3 Defensive players of the year on their squad. Two of them are starters and one of them will start later in this series. Serge, Gasol and Leonard have the tolls to slow down GSW
3. Rust: The Warriors haven’t played a basketball game in 9 days. Fam If I go 9 days without hitting the gym I gain 10 pounds. This matters, especially game 1 and 2.
4. Bench: Warriors have the worst bench in these playoffs. I could argue that the Orlando Magic have a deeper team. Looney, Cook and Bell can’t compare to Ibaka, Van Vleet and Powell.
5. Confidence: I’ve written on this before, especially about GSW. Ball is a rhythm and confidence sport. Guess who beat the league MVP? Guess who beat the NBA’s best center? Guess who got the Juice?
6. KD: If Durant doesn’t show up the Raptors win this earlier but that’s a big IF. Durant is the key to this final. Rapz win in 6 if he’s not there for two of the 7 possible games.

Of course I could be wrong, I’ve been wrong before. But for now its Rapz in 6 or GSW in 7.

Loyalty is more important than love…PERIODT

Let me preface this by saying that I have felt love in every way BUT romantic. I love my family, I love God, I love my friends which means I stand on one thing: LOYALTY. Why is loyalty more important than love? Two reasons: Respect and Time. When you are loyal to someone or something you have respect for it, you can love someone and not respect them. I love McDonald’s oreo McFlurry but do I respect it, hell nah because I know it’s terrible for me. Love is an emotion, and like all emotions it comes and goes. It is unpredictable. Everyone who got married was in love and guess what? Half of them got divorced. Why? Because love is an emotion, just like anger, happiness and sadness. It comes and goes. But loyalty is about patience, loyalty is about respect and loyalty is about time.

If you are loyal to fitness, you will spend time in the gym. You will sacrifice the time on the couch eating Junior chickens to hit up leg day. Why? Because you are Loyal to your fitness goals. You can love the gym all day everyday, you can love your trainer, you can love cardio (ur weird for dat), you can love weights but all of those can go away. But are you loyal to the lifestyle? That can never go away.

Loyalty > Love

 

Artists should get PAID

That title is very very simple but the concept is not. This morning I read an article on the Ottawa Sun about a band that was requested to play for free at Canada Day Kanata. A yearly event that attracts thousands in Kanata for Canada day, this band was asked to headline FOR FREE. Pathetic. This is a struggle I know about. As an artist (@jeanviews) myself I constantly deal with the issue of getting paid and I will scream this till the day I die: ARTISTS SHOULD GET PAID!!! 

Why? Because we love our craft and work hard for what we do.

Why? Because a “good look” ain’t enough! We have bills!

Why? Because what we do is important and without us, society would be ruined.

Why? Because it is a sign of respect.

Why? Because it is the right thing to do.

If you request an artists services PAY THEM, doesn’t matter if they are your 3rd cousins best friend’s brother. People disrespect artists all the time: Musicians , Painters, Photographers, Videographers, Poets, etc are told “your work doesn’t matter”. How? By y’all not paying us. How do we end this disgusting cycle?

Read my title.

 

LeBron needs to leave the Lakers right NOW!

My sports fans know wussup, recent reports have come out that Ty Lue, former Cleveland Cavaliers coach, rejected the Lakers coaching job. The same Lakers with no General Manager, the same Lakers who haven’t made the playoffs in 6 straight years, the same Lakers who had 6 different coaches since 2011 and the same Lakers with the best ball player of all time. Yes those guys. James HAS to leave for 3 reasons:

1. Legacy: When LBJ retires he will universally know as the greatest player to ever play this game. Haters will put him at number 2 and idiots will put him top 5. The one thing stopping him are rings and from what we all see: Lakers ain’t getting one.
2. Management: This team is fuckin disaster, when I wrote about Magic leaving I speculated that his move was smart. And I was right, the way this team is run and organized is TRASH! Greatness starts at the top and the Lakers top stinks. I ain’t tryna put Jeanie Buss under the Bus but she clearly is driving this team down the DRAIN. Linda Rambis shouldn’t be making coaching hires, Rob Pelinka (the most hated sports agent) shouldn’t be the head of your front office, you shouldn’t publicly THRIST after Anthony Davis and threaten to trade half the squad. This team is pathetic. This toilette water franchise is full of it and Jeanie is flushing it to the sewers.
3. Culture: The Lakers have a toxic culture and we all should have seen this from day one. When Magic Johnson said he “..would quit in 3 years if he didn’t bring back the Lakers to greatness” we should have know wussup. This team is arrogant and they have a culture of QUITTING. Its so bad that their GM quit, their head coach quit, their future head coach quit, their best player quit playing defense and their entire young core quit games they could have won. This is a LOSER culture and players know this, that’s why no one is coming this off-season!

If LBJ is smart he will demand a trade to the Clippers, Brooklyn, Philly or BOSTON (yes I said it). I salute Ty Lue for having the BALLS to say “nah b” and I want Bron to do the same.

Each NBA Playoff series in two sentences (or less)

The playoffs are WILD, especially round two, so I thought to myself: Why haven’t I blogged on this? So here I am with my thoughts on each playoff series

Bucks / Celtics

Giannis is too much for Boston, a team that ain’t a real team. They hate each other but on the other side of the court, Bucks play with FIRE and chemistry, this series ends tonight!

Warriors / Rockets

Durant is a God, not a Demi-God, he is a GOD! But Harden is the Anti-Christ and he’s on a sinful streak, Rockets have the tools to win but they need James to be the biggest tool (lightwork).

76ers / Raptors

I love Toronto, they always break my heart but when the other team has inconsistent super stars and terrible defending I feel secure. Kawhi in his MJ bag, this series wraps tomorrow.

Nuggets / Trailblazers

The Joker is no joke, mans is making Dame “Time” and his squad look fooooooolishhh. Jamal Murray stepped up big time and they need him next round, by far the most fun series to watch.

Who do I have next?

Rockets vs Nuggets and Bucks vs Raptors

 

Endgame, a deep(er) dive

You’ve read my spoiler free review, and now I have to bless you with my real THOUGHTS and yes this post is full of spoilers so you’ve been warned famo.

Avengers Endgame shocked me

Yes this movies been out for a week and Yes I finally saw it last Wednesday. It shocked me in several ways, instead of wasting your time, I will break down 3 reasons this movie shocked me:

1. Action: I don’t follow the MCU but I follow action movies, this film had HELLA action from start to finish. I’ve seen previous Avenger films and was shocked by the amount of ACTION the Russo brothers packed in this 3 hour feature. Let me tell y’all one thing…the final battle is LEGENDARY.
2. Acting: With my reviews I TRASH actors, because most actors ain’t good at their craft but this one had AMAZING acting. Folks will be quick to say Robert Downey Jr was the best actor but that’s cap. Performances from Chris Hemsworth, Paul Rudd and Scarlett Johansson stood out. Acting was a major upside of this film.
3. The Plot: I can’t front: this movie is WAY TOO LONG. If they cut 30-45 minutes, the message and vibe would have been in tact. I must admit the plot was perfect. I was entertained throughout.

Final thoughts: Y’all have already seen this movie but if you haven’t I want you to save those 11$ and get your bum to Cineplex. The casual viewers like myself don’t care about the pandering, the long long run time, the confusing plot or the over the top corny ish, we care about a fun movie EXPERIENCE. And that is what Endgame is, an experience that is worth your time and money

 

4.5/5 <– Final review (issa must watch)
