T-Smith is back at it on Hoops Addict with another Lakers playoff article. Did Trev quit The ODC and not tell me? Ryan McNeill, if you’re reading this, we can get into a bidding war for Trevor. I have dirt on him. Regardless, here’s the piece, gold as always.

So one tournament is in the books already and the Jet League season starts this week. What the heck am I talking about? Well, to quote Lil’ Wayne and Mannie Fresh: “Hoes. Let’s just talk about Hoes. Can we talk about Hoes? These Hoes? I love ‘em.” The Slo Pitch team I play for is [...]
