Brendan Haywood's flagrant foul on @BlakeGriffin...why it isn't a 'good' thing.

Look, I grew up watching cats getting FUCKED UP GOING TO THE LANE so before you come running up on me with the 'you don't know anything about that' STOP. Yes it used to happen. Often. The old 'If you can't beat 'em, BEAT 'EM UP...' mentality. My favorite player had to endure it and they changed the rules because of it....(He didn't complain and neither has Blake so don't start that shit...)

Thing is though we NOW get at hockey for the fights and brag that you can't do it in basketball so you can't have it both ways. I am ALL FOR HARD FOULS WHILE MAKING A PLAY ON THE BALL, WRAPPING A CAT UP SO HE CAN'T GET A SHOT UP and the like. Not that shit that Brendan did though. @ grabbing him middair by the arm and swinging him around. It is akin to bridging people in basketball to me. Oh you don't what 'bridge' means? Yeah...the discussion is done then 'cause that means you don't play, have not played or don't have the 'knowledge' of basketball you thought you did. Taking folks out of the air is not what's up...Sorry. This isn't football. It isn't boxing.

Remember this shit here?

Everything that happened up until the fan participation was 'normal' behavior right and you SAW WHAT HAPPENED? You want that again?

Isolated incident you say? How about NO it wasn't?

Now I know some of you could give less than a fuck if they fought and the effect it would have. I don't wanna see that shit. I wanna see basketball man. Period. Play better defense if you can't stop that man or get outta the way. Put the ho ho's down, stop going down Miami during the off season and work on your game.

I said on Twitter that I felt that Blake should adopt the Karl Malone style of dunking so maybe that will help..

Here is the foul...It isn't 'horrible' but the news outlets are running it like 'That what teams are going to start doing...' so.... Now when Blake swings on someone he will be wrong though..smh...and WHERE ARE HIS TEAMMATES? That shit can't happen! 13th man needs to come in and take one for the team.....oops...I am talking old school again..Let em stop..

Support

Let me be clear. I need you to SUPPORT the artist whose music you see/hear in the music player here. Some of them are my FRIENDS!! I want them to make money. So while I may put up a link here or there that they didn't 'endorse', it is only out of the love for their music and the fact that I want you to SUPPORT THEM. So please do. Seek out their music. Some of them are VASTLY UNDERRATED and your FAVORITE MUSICIAN loves them. So it isn't 'talent'. It is exposure. Which is all I am trying to give them here.. SO SUPPORT THEM!!!

I post 'em up ON THE REG. I post 'em, pay the compliments I want to when necessary and leave it at that. Period. If you happen to be the 'man in the young lady's life', don't worry dawg, I don't want your woman. I'm good.

If the fact that I do post up women means that you don't 'respect' any serious topic I discuss then your 'Fuck You and your respect ' is in the link below...Go ahead and read it....I think that should about cover how I feel about what 'you think'..

As for the 'woman' who are afraid of being 'exploited' by a site like the one I run here..Or who feel like I 'stole' your pics or something along those lines.. I have addressed you as well...

I do occasionally interview folks so browse around. I don't call them interviews though. I call 'em 'Chats' 'cause that is usually what is like. Not claiming to be some CNN reporter over here. Just asking questions that many of us want answers to and some questions that some of you don't THINK TO ASK OR THINK CERTAIN FOLKS ARE GOING THROUGH/THINKING ABOUT/DOING. I like to dig deep so if you agree to an interview, be prepared. I might ask you anything. I probably will stay away from the majority of the 'standard' questions though. Just bare that in mind. Again..the site's official email is thewarehouseblogspot@gmail.com if you would like to be interviewed. Hit me up.

The popular posts usually contain enough POSITIVE examples of how this works great for both THE BLOG and the subjects of the posts. Usually, those post are a DIRECT RESULT of support from the young lady via a posting on THEIR OWN TWITTER, blog or Facebook. So thank you for that IN ADVANCE (and if you have done so in the past..) for that mutual support. It is appreciated. Truly.

Oh and one more thing...

I DON'T WATER MARK PICTURES THAT I DIDN'T EITHER TAKE OR WERE NOT ORIGINALLY GIVEN TO ME. I have seen folks RUSH TO DO IT and it is pretty damm sad. Not my style. I am not a fool. I know that most of what I do in regards to pictures can be replicated so there is no need to act like I'm out here doing more than what it is. I provide a space to see a collection of pictures in that regard. Nothing more. Nothing less. Watermarking pictures that aren't 'mine per say kinda comes off a little pompous to me. That's just me though..

I want you to be able to tell when I do TAKE THE PICTURE without me saying as much. What do I look like watermarking your pictures up if I didn't 'take them'?

You see the watermark on a picture here with the blog's name in it? Then you know I took the picture in some fashion. Screen shot. With the camera phone. With the Canon or the web cam. Or it was given to me for exclusive use. (At least at press time)
