Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps · Jan 15 Kyrie Irving was asked after tonight's loss to Philly about this game against a top East opponent showing how much work the Nets still have to do in order to compete at the highest level while waiting for Kevin Durant to return. Here's Irving's answer: I mean, it's transparent. It's out there. It's glaring, in terms of the pieces that we need in order to be at that next level. I'm going to continue to reiterate it. We're going to do the best with the guys that we have in our locker room now, and we'll worry about all the other stuff, in terms of moving pieces and everything else, as an organization down the line in the summer. It's just something that we signed up for. We knew what we were coming into at the beginning of this season.

He was very welcoming and I spent the most time with him out of everyone. We got along really well and quickly became really really good friends. We would go on late night food runs, and watched movies together in my room since I had a TV. He fel asleep frequently there and it became a pretty normal thing. We always stayed on our sides of the bed, and nothing ever really happened.until it did. I was lying in bed with all the lights off. The door opened and Fed came in, drunk from going out that night. He crawled into my bed and laid there for a bit. Then he grabbed my hand and held it. and I didn't move at all cause l was shocked. He then brushed my hand against his cheek, and kissed it after. I was still in a state of shock, trying to process what's happening, because this guy is supposed to be my friend. He also knew I had a boyfriend at the tima laut haatunk hin hand insida malaaun and taunhad nidanaut ta mahaat Andnithaunhnnat 31 t7 45 1.5K invxted @invxtedissanta Replying to @clvngrn and @Fedmyster i ain't reading all that i'm happy for u tho or sorry that happened Miley Ray Cyrus O @MileyCyrus · Feb 2 everything is soo00 divine these days ( and ALWAYS. sometimes just harder to stay aware of the magic) I'm finding my vocal surgery at the end of last year to be a gift, made me take time to really hone my craft !
