For as freaky a freak he is, Wemby get far fewer good looks than you’d expect when he puts the ball on the floor starting at the three point line.
didn’t have time for a story earlier…
tl;dr: got kicked out of a PIB hotel bc my ex-wife smoked weed in the room
i got married on put in bay. excellent fucking wedding. marriage didn’t work out, but the wedding was great. whole weekend of debauchery. i got off a jet ski 2 hours before the wedding. the night before at 2am me and my buddy played chicken to see who would swim out the furthest and we both quit bc we saw multiple snakes and panicked.
anyway, we had stayed at the bayshore every time we went, probably 10 times. multiple times a summer before and after the wedding. rented out like 20 rooms for the wedding, so whenever we went we were treated well. the overnight manager loved drunk me and sent us a christmas card multiple years.
so for our anniversary, maybe 2nd or 3rd, we went up. my brother and his wife and my mom and dad were getting rooms too but we got there earlier in the day. we go to go in and i’m dragging a cooler full of alcohol. there’s a sign saying “no outside alcohol can be brought in”, but i figured i was above that. should’ve left it in the car and gotten it after we checked in but i was pretty cocky back then.
young punk kid security guard immediately comes over and reaches to open the cooler. i put my foot on the top and kinda kicked him away like what are you doing? he said he was going to search it for alcohol. i asked if he was asking me or telling me. he said he was telling me. i lol’d and told him he’s not a cop and no he isn’t. i’d put it back in the car and later when a power-tripping teenage security guard wasn’t around i’d bring it in.
eventually the desk employee came over, asked what the problem was, etc. he was still pretty adamant that i wasn’t putting it back in the car. ex-wife got her to look us up, manager comes over, tells me the alcohol policy and asks me to put it back in my vehicle. gave the security kid a shit-eating grin and put it back.
anyway, we get our room, lol’ing at the security. figured we’d get set up and start our weekend. i went out the pool bar and got two overpriced drinks with umbrellas and came back to the room. ex-wife was smoking weed out of a bowl. after a few minutes we were completely naked having sex when there is a LOUD pounding at the door. i yell who is it, it’s the put in bay police could we please open the door?
told him we needed a second, got half dressed and let them in. they wander through a cloud of smoke 
and say that security smelled weed coming from the room, and they obvious smell the weed. i gave a half hearted 5-second “i don’t know what you’re talking about” but was really just trying to think of a way out of it. this was before weed was legal and before medical weed even.
told the cop he was being an asshole to us, wife needed to calm her nerves, whatever. cop gave me an out and said, “look, we’re cops in put in bay. this happens several times a day. just give us the weed you have and we’ll be on our way”. i vividly remember asking him if i had his word if i told them where the weed that we may or may not have, he’ll just leave and that’ll be it. he said yes. i said it’s in her bag and handed it over.
on the way out, i asked if he was gonna tell the hotel, and specifically the security. he said no. to this day i am 99% sure they kept it. it was a quarter oz minus one bowl of weed you couldn’t really get back then lol.
they leave. we obv freak out a little. just as we start to calm down, there’s another knock at the door. security kid. through the door i tell him to fuck off and leave us alone. he replies that we’re being trespassed and have 10 minutes to leave. fuck.
i open up the door, and remember the shit-eating grin i gave him earlier? yeah. x10. i told him that he had no proof, the cops left and didn’t arrest us or write us a ticket or anything. he said that we had 9 minutes to leave and those same cops would come back and actually arrest us if we weren’t gone by then.
spent the next 5 minutes motherfucking him. i’ll give him credit for not taking the bait bc i was definitely trying to get him to do something to me without starting it myself. definitely would’ve ended with him beat up and me arrested. in the moment, i wanted that. if he would have flinched at me i would’ve broken his nose.
took every last second of the 10 minutes. ex-wife went down to the front desk to plead our case, no dice. new management. they saw we had stayed there many times but were unsympathetic to a couple who caused a problem at check-in and immediately did drugs in the room. haha. she tried to get them to call the night manager who we were looking forward to seeing, they said no. she tried to get another chance, they said no. the security company is separate from the hotel and they have full discretion to kick anyone out.
by that time i was walking down with our stuff and caught the end of it, and i said, “okay so do you need my card to give us a refund?”. guess how that went. definitely went over the 10 minute limit arguing that they definitely were giving us a refund.
i can’t remember for sure, this was ~15 years ago but i’m pretty sure they didn’t give us a refund.
so we pack our shit, get in the car and leave. we get to the ferry that you have to take to bring your car over aaaand there’s a line of cars like 1/2 mile long. it took 3 ferries before we got on, sat in line for at least an hour. at some point i realized, “holy shit. my fucking whole family is gonna be here in an hour 
”. yeah. fucking hell.
at this point in my life, if you told my mother that either me or my ex-wife got us kicked out of a hotel, she’d be 99% sure it was me and that 1% is closer to 0 than 1. at first i told her that she had to tell them lmao. bc it was her fucking fault! hahaha. eventually i called them, they were still driving up, told them we wouldn’t be there. we got asked to leave for smoking weed (i took the hit. my mom found out years later it was my ex-wife, but at that point i didn’t want to complicate my wife and my mom’s relationship). she thought i was joking. i heard my brother laughing in the background (i can still hear it), and she realized i wasn’t kidding when i told her we were still waiting in the line to get back on the ferry.
super quiet 2 hour drive home. and that was the last time i was ever on put in bay. supposedly we were banned from the bayshore, a couple years later we thought about going back but decided against it. i’m sure i could go now, there is one other hotel but i always liked the pool area at the bayshore bc it looked out at the lake. but that part of my life is over, also i don’t drink, which is like 95% of the put in bay experience.
my fiancee brought up going there, she knows that’s where i got married but we’re both older and don’t drink but we could do all the other shit i never did before. i just said “nah” 
post-script: my brother called that night and asked if the security guard was the tall skinny kid that looked like he was 19. yes that’s definitely him. he said half the hotel watched him get actually knocked out unconscious bc he grabbed a man’s wife and threw her out of the way by the pool. guy one-punched him. cops and paramedics came, nothing happened to the guy. my brother told him my story from earlier in the day, bought him a drink and said that his brother sends his appreciation.
i think i lost my voice bc for 20 minutes after he told me i was screaming and laughing
reason #4080 why i don’t drink anymore

I kinda just want to see how many 3s OKC can miss at this point
Guess the spurs demise was a bit premature. Interested to see what game 5 brings.
Three more than the Spurs.
Defense wins championships.
all nba teams are out. pistons gonna get screwed with duran’s contract the same way the cavs did with mobley’s when he was DPOY

double hater take: i want the cavs to lose tonight. they’ll get the shame of being swept in the ECF and knicks fans won’t get to celebrate a trip to the finals on their home court.
which obv means harden/mitchell go for 70 tonight
Durant? lulz
I mean he’s not entirely wrong but no one cares because (1) make or miss league and (2) blowing a 22 pt lead in 7 minutes.
yeah but THAT’s what you wanna say after those first 3 games? that’s not a winning message.
“technically, and i don’t know if you guys are into these advanced stats, but…”
fuck outta here kenny.
lotta suspect names on those 2nd and 3rd teams.

You can’t say it after any games because no one gives a fuck. It just sounds pathetic. You should see the video after Game 1 where he cheeses bigly after saying “We have access to data you all don’t have” while basically making the same point, claiming the Knicks were in the 1st percentile of shot quality during the 4th Q comeback.
yeah that’s some shit for training camp. not the same week that you crushed an entire region with your bullshit
they don’t cur

Has he always been this much of a clown?
I dunno. He’s only two years in with the Cavs and I didn’t pay attention to him when he coached the Nets. He’s been awful these entire playoffs. They led the league in O-Rtg last year, but apparently Kenny was not the brains behind the operation:
