uhh, Rudy Gay was out for the season.

Damn 6-8 weeks is like the whole season!

rip z-bo

I could see the Grizz holding on until Z-Bo is back and getting in to the 7th or 8th seed. The bottom of the west playoff picture is pretty murky.

tbh that cake looks kinda weaksauce for $3000

Sad news bout Zach.

heh yeah I was gonna say #teambron sadly otm, that cake looks like it was designed for a 10 year old heat fan and not the multimillionaire player who the 10 year old is a fan of

w/e lady was dumb to do it for free, team bron are dicks for requesting it for free and not using it

It looks bizarre.

it reminds me of the burger king

tbf, she's getting more publicity from this than if she just got paid like normal or w/e.

Would have to know more about the details, but just generally (1) If you're doing something free for a celebrity for the "publicity" it seems kind of implied that they might reject it if it's not up to their subjective standards and (2) if you're really concerned about getting paid, have a contract

probably couldn't afford lawyers or only lawyers who would work for cake

Plus if you're doing a cake under those circumstances, you fucking come correct with it.

I would love to see what her lawyer cake would look like.

Might be reasonable of them to just pay her labor + supplies costs. Don't really see how that could be 3K but I know little of cake baking.

three-lawyer cake (xpost)

that cake is tremendous you guys just dont 'get' the intese world of celebrity caking

I mean I don't see it as being that different from "Hey, write me a song for my movie." If you're doing it for money, you say "ok, how much will you pay me for a song" or "I will charge you $x for a song." If you don't do that, and you're doing it for the "publicity" it's kind of common sense that your song might not make it in the movie AND you might not get paid.

That cake was $3,000 because of the edible gold dust, not because of the size, other ingredients or the outstanding design. Gold is freaking expensive these days.

how much is the darko cake

I was kinda feeling bad for cake lady but then I saw the cake they went with and I was like sorry bro, your cake sucks

lol @ the rejected cake

yeah that is a lame cake, i wouldn't even eat that shit

goldschlager costs like $20 a fifth iirc

lol you would need so many bottles of goldschlager to get enough gold flake for a cake

meanwhile the heat sans wade are blowing the pacers out of the building

also twitter is making it sound like the knicks are having some sort of apocalyptic meltdown vs the bobcats right now

charlotte has put up 62 in the first half

and marshon brooks has 15 in the first quarter for the nets against the c's

nets are without d-will too

lebron with 14, 6, and 7 in the first half

LeBron checked in with 6:54 left in 2nd quarter with the score 40-33. Now it's 62-39. You do the math.

still keep thinking about that cake, the picture of how proud she is standing next to it kind of kills me, the whole story sounds like it should be a simpsons plot that ends w/ marge driving to AA arena and hitting lebron over the head w/ a rolling pin
