hey y’all!! new gifset means a post of me blabbering about what happened behind the scenes <33
to start off, let’s talk about the above gifs. y’all, i had TWENTY EIGHT (28) CLIPS TO MAKE GIFS OF 😳 now, that is by far the MOST i have had for any show i’ve ever giffed (it’s the mint tall illness xx) so there was a lot to consider. i knew i wanted some key scenes to be made (edrisa drinking that four loko, fire consuming sarah, and the eyeball) so i worked myself around those. there are other scenes that i wanted to gif but just...couldn’t fit them all and may be used for future gifs (if i get inspired). these two above were made to be in the original gifset but ultimiately got cut because: 
the ainsley gif has very few frames and moved too fast for my liking despite it being at 5 speed like the rest of them. typically i don’t like really short gifs with less than 35 frames but sometimes i do make exceptions (like my gifset for 2x02) -was going to be a “warm” gif
 i LOVED this scene between malcolm and edrisa when she gets on the table because she is trying to come down from a caffeine high. when there is no brightwell content, i LOVE a good maldrisa scene <3 really wanted to include this one but i wasn’t too sure of the coloring :(( i felt that it was a bit too dark and i knew the other psd that i used (yes, i used two psds hehe) wouldn’t help much. so, ultimately, with a HEAVY heart, i had to drop it from the lineup -was going to be a “cool” gif
the blue and gold theme was by accident. i had gotten new psds to prepare for this week and one of the new ones amplified the blues of dark scenes (like the entirety of prodigal son) and really liked how it looked on the edrisa gif. then i started to see the pattern of the scenes i picked (cold, warm, cool, warm) and decided to run with it. like i said above, i did use two psds and the other psd is for warmer scenes that the main psd couldn’t really do them much justice. the three gifs with the other psd? you know my fave game :3c answer in the tags!
like i said before, there were a LOT of scenes i wanted to use. i spent like five hours on this set? that also includes small breaks like for lunch and bathroom breaks plus i had to give photoshop some downtime aka force quitting in task manager to give it some room to breathe because there was A LOT to go through. i didn’t want to do anything fancy so i went with my new favorite framing pero i added 1 px to the height (is that right? i forget). also, i am SOOO sorry for making it a long post but i think it was truly inevitable lol.
here are some scrapped scenes:
the crime scene of the dead former debutante. i promised y’all i wouldn’t gif these crime scenes and i almost broke that promise because the scene was soo interesting
malcolm on the tail of jt and the camera follows them as malcolm talks about candy. REALLY fun scene that i would’ve loved to gif but simply had no room on the roster :((
the gilessica scene <3 i wanted to put at least one of my fave pairings in there pero there were some other really good scenes i knew others would find more interesting
*there were other clips i saved that are self-indulgent and for me for future headers or sidebar gifs ;)
i wrote down four quotes, one spoken by gil and the rest were spoken by malcolm. i would’ve used the ainsley quote at the end about how she has a reason to be a bit reckless because it is a solid quote but i felt like it would be overused so i didn’t. i knew i should’ve bolded what sarah said to differentiate somebody else is talking pero like...this was my fourth? fifth reupload? because i kept messing up in the tags and wasn’t sure of the order plus there was a gif that didn’t look right so i had to go back and edit it again (i won’t tell u which one that is my secret shh). everything was kinda asjdksajkdlsa like it was getting closer to my deadline (ONCE AGAIN) so it was basically a mini crunch to get published and in the queue. 
PERO I AM SOO, SO, SOOOOO PROUD OF IT!! it’s really cool and has a lot of color to it!! i even went out of my comfort zone in terms of coloring. yes, warmth is my jam y’all know this but the other more intense blue coloring was a huge step. also, don’t look so closely at them because i know of at least one flaw and that particular gif looks better on mobile (surprisingly) pero desktop is like LOOK AT IT!! LOOK AT IT!!! anyways, every note is like a blessing, and i am always overwhelmed with joy and happiness whenever i read each tag !! :)

09. Joe Ingles Slaps Adam’s Dingles - Suns Supernova - Fultz Can’t Shoot - Jordan ‘Jumpman’ Bell
Greg: Hello and welcome to another episode of Double Drivel. We are a weekly podcast offering a fan's perspective on the news and issues surrounding the NBA. Thank you for joining us my name is Greg and I am joined as always by my co-host JT. You can find us on twitter @doubledrivelers or email us at [email protected]. JT what up my friend?
JT: Not too much Greg. Doing good, feeling good. Happy to be here. I think we should start off by thanking all the new listeners. A lot of new international listeners. Welcome to everyone. and make sure to subscribe tell a friend, or multiple friends, or whoever you want. Please help spread the word. We'd appreciate it.
Greg: Check us out on Twitter for the full Double Drivel experience. We've been posting a lot of NBA related gifts and getting some pretty big retweets, so check us out there. It's a lot of interactive fun.
JT: We've been having a lot of fun. It was something we always did separately in our Twitter, but now we're going at it as a team.
Greg: I love it. I also love the topics we have tonight. We got some great stuff. We got Sloppy Joe Ingles getting fined. We have the Phoenix Suns, who are falling apart right before our eyes. Marquel Fultz who says he has a jacked-up shoulder. And, Jordan Bell, with what I will refer to as a tasteless alley-oop. Starting off with Sloppy Joe Ingles getting fined $15,000 for not tapping Stephen Adams. This is a Utah Jazz story. This is all you JT. What's going on with Sloppy Joe?
JT: You know I love Joe Ingalls Greg. You know he's probably my favorite active player in the whole league. He's got great numbers right now. He's fucking killing it. Guy looks like you're garbage man. The guy who picks up your trash and rides in the back of the truck. The half shaven kind with a grimace. He does not look like an athlete, not the Heisman Trophy posed picturesque athlete you might imagine.
Greg: Nobody's an Adonis.
JT: He's a hard worker. He’s a scrapper. My man is from Australia.
Greg: Another great country close to Australia is New Zealand where Stephen Adams is from.
JT: I think we have a little bit of a feud that goes beyond basketball between these two. I like to speculate the play in question was actually Ingalls, who wasn't called during the game. It was only after the game when they were reviewing it.
Greg: I don't agree with that.
JT: Hear me out here. Let's see what happened first.
Greg: No I'd rather get angry first, but I guess I'll let you finish.
JT: Steven Adams is setting a pick and Ingels was kind of coming behind him and gave him a little back knuckle tap on the nuts. Adams, don't forget this is the same guy who Dremon Green kicked square in the nuts last year during the playoffs-
Greg: Square in the fucking beanbag. This guy that has some of the most notorious nut shots.
JT: This is certainly one of the worst. I'll never forget that shot that he took from Jerry Mott. This wasn't nearly as bad as a little, I never fucking did this in the locker room, but like as they say boys do, to each other in the locker room. A little tap, and then the next play when Adams is coming down the court he shoves Ingel’s elbows in as he's rolling by and they call Adams for the technical. They didn't call the nut tap until after the game was over. 15 K to my man Joe Engels. He signed a huge deal last season. He's been very candid about the fact that he makes ton of money.
Greg: He makes way more money than he probably should. 15k is not gonna keep him up at night.
JT: This puts me over the top with Joe Ingles Gregg. I love this guy so much I'm buying a jersey. I'm buying a fucking Joe Ingles jersey. I don't even know if they'll have a smart jersey for my man, but I'm getting one.
Greg: There's no way they have a smart Jersey for your man.
JT: If they were smart I don’t think they would have a jersey for him Gregg
Greg: Who would have known that the feud between New Zealand and Australia would manifest itself in a nut shot on a basketball court in America. If that was a real nut shot I, and I don't have to be a
pro athlete to know how this goes, I have the equipment we're talking about here. If you get hit in the nuts hard enough that’s a foul.
Greg: It's gonna hurt and you know it’s a time out because Stephen Adams is gonna be like holy shit I'm in pain. If it didn't get to that point I don't see how you look back through the tape later and say oh look at that. That's that's a foul right there. That's something we need to fine. You can't go through the tape and look for fines that's unacceptable. If you get away with it during the game that's just how it goes. In this age of going back, and not even just instant replay or any sort of review, going back and reviewing the entire game for infractions, that's insane.
JT: They're just gunning for my man because they know he's hot. They know that if they don't slow him down he's the next Steph Curry. Without a doubt.
Greg: Oh hell no,
JT: Yes.
Greg: With that we will go on to the Phoenix Suns. The Phoenix Suns are imploding before our eyes. They were an awful team to begin with, and this year they're even worse. I thought they were supposed to be better.
JT: That was my understanding. I didn't think  they were gonna be this bad this year, but they are really bad. One thing in particular that's going wrong for them is their player Eric Bledsoe who tweeted that he did not want to be there.
Greg: Quote, “I don't want to be here,” I've never tweeted that about my job. I'm sure you have not either JT. He felt like that was necessary to do and it was going to help him out. The Suns weren't having it. They
took a harder line with things than I expected. How do you feel?
JT: Well first he says I don't want to be here, then they asked him about it and he says I'm talking about being at the salon with my girlfriend, that's what I meant when I said I don't want to be here. So first you say you don't want to be here then you don't even have the nuts to say yeah that's true I'd rather not be here? You make up a story, not even a good story, nothing behind that story holds up. It's bullshit. It's weak. You're just looking for attention. Then the Suns GM says I don't buy your bullshit, we don't want you back. I couldn't believe he sent him home. I could not believe that. You almost never see this happen. They usually get dragged out for quite some time with this type of thing. Good for the Suns’ back of the house to kind of stand their ground. They definitely took a harder line than I expected. I thought that was good.
Greg: You a little note which felt like a hot take. You asked an important question. What is that question about the Phoenix Suns?
JT: I think at every point in a franchise, wherever they are, this question should be asked. Is this working out here? We pose that question to the Phoenix Suns. Does the Phoenix Suns franchise make sense in Arizona? Is that a city and state deserving of a billion dollar NBA franchise?
Greg: Do you think the city is why they're bad?
JT: I don't know. I know a couple people in Arizona, and I don't want to speak for more than the couple that I know, but there’s a lot of electronic dance music Greg. Beading and crafting of necklaces, jewelry made of plastic beads, I see a lot of that. I don't know if they have professional basketball at the top of their list for things that that mean something to them.
Greg: I can keep a list of things, so I if I'm ever looking for a new basketball city, it has to be low on beads, beading, bead related materials, and above all else you can't have any EDM. As long as there is no EDM, no electronic dance music then that is the place to be. So you don't like Phoenix, you don't think they deserve a team?
JT: That's basically what this comes down to, Miami is not a nice place either. Miami's shitty for a bunch of different reasons, but it’s a little better suited for basketball.
Greg: To round it out, we don't like Phoenix and we don't like Miami, but for two completely different reasons.
JT: I have a ton of other places I don't like, but we're not talking about me right now.
Greg: Moving on to someone we are going to talk about, Marquel Faults. His shoulder is what he's blaming for his horrific free-throw shooting motion. I didn't realize he was shooting that poorly in general. I didn't
recall his shot being that strange. His free throws have been horrific. This is somebody you've been watching, what do you think of his shoulder?
JT: We talked about Faults shooting free throws disgustingly Something's up there. It looks like something is terribly wrong with him. Today his agent came out and said yes,something's up. He had a bunch of fluid drained from his shoulder, and that's why the form looks like this.
Greg: Agents making statements is a red flag. If I know anything one thing about basketball, it’s if your agent’s talking for you, it's not good. Unless it's about your contract,they need to not be talking. They're just covering for you.
JT: If you're recovering from some type of procedure, and you're unable to go through the normal movements you do for your job, why the fuck are you playing? Why are you playing professional basketball if you're if your body isn't right? You see almost nine times out of ten when someone is injured teams always play it conservatively.These guys are just worth so much cash it doesn't make any sense to risk injuring
them for an extended period of time. If this Faulse thing is true, if he's recovering, get him out of there. Get him out of there and rehab it properly. Don't risk further injury.
Greg: This story makes absolutely no sense. He's on the 76ers and they will not let him play back to backs. They won't make him play ending minutes, not even extendedminutes. They won't let him play normal
Minutes. Ben Simmons sat out the entire year last year so this is not a team that's afraid to sit people for a while. That’s not what he's saying. There's something's not right about this. I'm gonna call it right now, this man is going to be a bust. He doesn't look like he has the fire. I thought the same thing the first time I saw him. Hiis number gotpushed up somehow. He had good momentum behind him. He was gonna be the number one pick. That's all you kept hearing, was he's the number one pick, he's the best player. There's so many other guys that have already proven themselves, and they look better than him. He's gonna be a loss. I'm putting it in stone and on tape right now Mark Fultz is a bust.
JT: Damn Greg, it’s like that?
Greg; Yeah, it is like that. The next person we're gonna talk about, Jordan Bel, is another perfect example. This guy was drafted by the Chicago Bulls, and then traded for three million dollars from the Warriors. When you're trading somebody for cash that's insulting. In the league you need to be traded for a player. That man could have been traded for a professional basketball player, but instead it was just dirty dirty money. It seems like you're buying and selling people at that point. You're not trading anything. That's buying and selling people. I don't like trades that involve just money. People don't like it, it's a personal thing that I've always had. This is an instance where it happened, and the Warriors ended up with someone. I saw him when he played in college. This guy could jump. As the kids would say, he had hops, and it was
shocking to me that they would trade him for 3 million to the Warriors. I said this guy's gonna be good, well it turns out maybe he's not good, but he can certainly jump and he can certainly dunk. He did something that was a little tasteless during the game the other night against the Mavericks. They were up by a lot, he was on a fast break, and he threw it off the backboard and dunked it, basically a looping to himself. He did it not at home, which is a little more tasteful. He did it on the road which is very insulting It wasn’t right. You feel a little differently though?
JT: What about it is not right?
Greg: You're gonna be playing here for years. You don't need to get that out of your system right off the bat. We're a couple games into the season and you're a looping off the backboard to yourself? This is a team that's supposed to be disciplined. They're the champions. Steve Kerr's got all this control, and I don't like that they're gonna be playing that way. Draymond Green runs his mouth but we don't need him showboating too.
JT: People kill me Greg. What the fuck are you gonna get offended by next? This guy is a professional basketball player. People love dunks. There's three minutes left in the game, it's not like the game's over. Our man LeBron chirmed in on this. You know what he said? Quote, “We're all men. Stop me from dunking. We're not trying to hurt nobody. You play the game until it's over. He threw it off the glass and dunked it so what?” and quote.
Greg: If this was baseball-
JT: If this is baseball we’d all be asleep.
Greg: Oh shots fired! No, baseball is great. If this was baseball they'd be throwing the ball at his head next time he's at the plate. That's the kind of shit that would be happening for that kind of showboat.
It's tasteless.
JT: That’s why no one cares about baseball, because they let little things like that get to them. If that's what would happen in baseball that's stupid.
Greg: That's what they would do, throw it at you at the next time you got up.
JT: They probably throw it at whoever the best player on the team is when they get up. That's how they roll.
Greg: This was a nasty dunk. I don't want to take away from that.
JT: It was a great dunk. The guys on the bench didn't even know how to react because they knew it was nasty, but they knew it was a little naughty. It was fun to watch. If you don't like this kind of thing you're watching the wrong game. Spare me all this talk about classless and unspoken rules. This is exactly why people watch.
Greg: Act like you've been there before, that's what I'm saying.
JT: You know he's been there before because he can fucking dunk like a maniac.
Greg: All right, another great episode there JT. We're gonna be back next week with another episode. In the meantime you can follow us on twitter @doubledrivelers or you can email us at [email protected]. Remember to subscribe to the show on iTunes, Podbean, or on Google Play. Thanks, and we'll see you on the Internet.
