    Fuck Wemby honestly. This playoffs he went from darling to dirt bag real quick. Get this dude off my screen

  3. Exhibit 03no flair
    100%. Wemby is an arrogant asshole and all those young guys have taken on his personality. But it’s Mitch Johnson’s fault for letting it get this bad. Pop wouldn’t have let this shit fly, he respected the game too much.
