HBO's "Ballers" Season 1 Thread; Produced by The Rock & Mark Wahlberg

Only got a few keyed in stories a show...the Vern thing is top priority, Ricky getting his act together is a central theme, they blended Charles with the main guys, and gave the white dude some focus for the first time ever with that mother/cougar $hit.

Yeah, but even 4 arcs in 24 mins leaves very littl screen time. I'd tprather have an episode of just Ricky and Vern, or all spence...haven't figured him out yet. But I understand, it's early on, they gotta set everything up so it's whatever

Thanks for posting this, I meant to look it up. I couldn't figure out if this was sampha, but the vocals didn't sounds completely like him

Lol@All the anger about the set up...Rome wasn't built in a day. So it's not whatever...it's a story being told.

How is there anger? Ppl complained abt it being 30 minutes, I gave my thoughts on how they could tweak it so 30 minutes felt more full. It is whatever, I know how shows are set up, you can't jump into deep storylines in an ensemble cast 5, 6, 7 episodes in.

If you guys like him you'll enjoy Sampha as well.

My thoughts:

Whose mother is gonna get fukked next on this show!?!?!
(In all seriousness tho, I hope that plot goes somewhere)

I'm interested to see what happens when Charles plays again. He's probably gonna end on a bad note with a major injury (all the foreshadowing is there) forcing the Rock to take a good look at his own health.

Not sure where they're going with Ricky's character at the moment.

I'm also curious how they wrap up the storyline with Vernon's pics. I'm also wondering why they would trust that the pics would be gone after she got paid. Were they gonna destroy all copies? What about the other hoes taking pics?

Yep. Sometimes there's episodes that go by too quickly. Stick to the role players: Spence, Ricky and Charles.

what about vernon?

Yea, this past ep was kinda random and filler, I feel.

 

[Ribbs]

what about vernon?

I was just mentioning the main cast. Spence and Vernon go together, there's no separating them.

i usually fast fw the credits and such when i DVR...but i stopped and listened to this joint. thanks for the link.

Btw, I've never been big on rocking short sleeve button up shirts in the summer for some reason (I'm more of a roll the long sleeve up kinda guy)...but the rock got me wanting to reevaluate that thought.

The shyt that makes a Soul Burn slow, is their Ashes thrown everywhere , but the bushes R.Kelly said it best When a Woman's Fed Up Ricky's the opposite of Chill Mode Birdman got that Cleveland HEAT Agent HAWG MoMs AWLL up in the camera Flabby OLiner needs to stay put in Larry Holmes Garden The Rock compensating his Brotha's ineptitude That's our People's Champ Big Dummy Vern's peabrain must be made out of Gummy Bears Meanwhile, fukkboi by his side like a Hynena laughin and schemin as 6 Fraud would Letoya still shines thru with the same minimal screentime
