The week Derrick Rose and Evan Turner are putting the haters on notice. The Warriors celebrated Steph's Birthday so hard no one made make it to work. Proving once again that the NBA is the best league and there is no question about it.  

When keeping it real goes ehh

#NBATwitters favorite son Derrick Rose got out here and put the haters on notice. 

Derrick Rose on his haters: "You can have your perspective on me as far as I'm a bum, I can't play, I can't shoot, this and that. Alright cool, I have no hard feelings w/ that. ... But at the same time, I don't need your f***ing validation. I know who I am."

He has a small point, but so do these numbers presented without comment #StayWoke

1. Minni up 11.
2. Derrick Rose enters game.
3. Minni down 6.

1/5, 2 TOs, -17. All in 6 and 1/2 minutes.

Numbers never lie but go off D. Rose. 

Evan Turner also took the podium against the haters this week. 

“First off, let me say one thing: Everything I have done, I have earned,’’ Turner said. “My contract – that’s my bread, and I earned my bread. So, kiss my ass. Dead serious. Write that. I earned that (expletive) money.’’https://t.co/pguEdd1YrY

Soupgate Ft. JR Smith (update)

Mr. Smith is not having the best week. He had that whole soup thing and is now coming off the bench.

"We didn't talk," JR Smith told ESPN of his benching. "(Tyronn Lue) sent me a text (Monday) and I told him, 'No problem.' I didn't know that it was a 'talk.' ... I'm not upset about it. I just wish there would have been more dialogue, I guess."

I'm new to the conspiracy theory world, BUT (hear me out) what if the souped assistant was trying to warn soup thrower JR of his impending benching, but JR did not believe him and threw the soup at the mere suggestion of such a thing. #HennythingIsPossible 

Bumble X Clippers

Is this the picture Bumble had in mind when they partnered with the Clippers? Unclear.

Athletes, they're just like us

As much as I joke about being fake busy at work, it's always great to hear praise heaped upon you from your superiors:

"You're the best one-on-one defender in this league."

Steph lived his best life eating ribs, and listening to E-40. Prosper young man. Prosper.

This team went so hard no one was able to work the next day. Letting everyone know the regular season isn't a real concern. 

Warriors just announced they canceled practice today. Everyone in recovery mode after Curry's 30th.

This is staged

Atlanta keeps trying to play us, but we know when things are staged. This was definitely staged.
