HBO Ballers all seasons Official discussion thread

man, I was up on game when I saw Reggie taking pictures. he saw himself being left behind so he decided to set up his own boy. so many people have a dumbass like this and their lives that they feel they can't let go because of loyalty. The sad thing they don't realize they are the only ones being loyal.

everyone is eating off of their dime. they are paying for everything. Every plane ticket every meal.Tyron Smith from the Cowboys realized this sooner than most and he cut his family off. family very much like the one on this show

Yup!

That mofo Reggie just keeps saying "We", that mofo ain't in the weight room and not on the field either, acting like his fucking wife with that "we" shit.

Spence knows it's Reggie & is on his way to bust him.
 
wife has a nice little azz too:yes:

She a lil cutie no doubt :yes::yes::yes:

I'm not sure if it's reggie @ all...I know that was the general consensus @ one point...and I even went w/ it prior to this ep...but thinking back @ party ep I don't remember him actually taking the pics...now would be a terrible time for him to play this hand...doesn't add up unless maybe he's realizing he's on the way out and this is his "severance pay"...idk can't call it

He had the camera out taking pics man. They made sure to show him doing it. That's how people, including me are calling Reggie on the shit. He may not have leaked the pics, he might have lost his phone or something. We'll find out soon.

I'm thinking it's Reggie bro, especially after you see in the preview that he's shooting game talking bout "word on the street is you know the chick" Son just trying to drive a wedge between the rock and vernon. He's a sneaky bastard and that shakedown artist of a lawyer is helping him with the hustle

And as far as Ricky, man ya'll give that man his credit. If you didn't know who his Pop is ya'll wouldn't even be scrutinizing the cat. I didn't even know that it was his son, that shit just spread through word of mouth as the show progressed.
 
I just went back and watched episode 3 and the only person taking pictures was Reggie's grimey ass lol

I stand corrected then :cool:

Fuck Reggie and all that he stands for. I really hope someone gives him a beatdown before the end of the season, because he is a bitch ass nigga for real.

Man, I'm mad it took my slow ass a couple of minutes to realize that Charles was fantasizing about fucking Sammy while he was fucking his wife. When their faces switched, I was like "wait, did her wig fall off or something?" Guess I was too busy paying attention to that ass lmao.

SN: Something tells me that was a body double, because they had no problem showing the ass, but she kept her bra on. As many titties as they've shown on this show, that shouldn't be an issue. I bet the actress has some sort of no nudity clause in her contract. Such a waste lol. She still fine as hell though.
 
That is pretty much the only "complaint" trending about Ballers on twitter EVERY Sunday. I really hope HBO takes the hint/gets the message

They won't do it. It's the same complaint Entourage fans had and they ran for 8 seasons at 30 min episodes.

One hour shows double the writers workload and most importantly, removes the exclusivity in one shot.

It's that 30 min time slot that keep us hooked like crack fiends.
 

read the review..KINDA agree with one point..Ballers would probably be better served as a drama with some light moments rather than a comedy with some serious moments.I'm sure Dwayne Johnson and Denzel jr could handle the weight of a drama. And I get the feeling thats what Dwayne wants to do to shore up his acting bona fides.

The problem with that tho is that its clear that the mandate of the show is that its like the Entourage of the sports world. And outside of Ari's rants and serious moments that show was as lightweight as you could get..

Also keeping the show lighthearted for the most part makes it easier to keep the issues and problems about the players..serious drama would invite more serious subject matter like drug use, spouse abuse, etc and thats harder to contain to just the player as coaches, the front office and the league itself would have a hand in that stuff and thats where Playmakers ran afoul with the NFL and ended up getting canceled.

I wholeheartedly and flat out disagree :dunno: The curse of the show is everyone wants to compare it to entourage, and I can certainly see why, but you have no clue whats building and to say otherwise is simply unfair.

Rob Cordry is there for comedic effect/goofy white boy and doing a bang up job but they're clearly building up to the trauma of Spence killing that cat on the field, the health issues football players face during life after football (the guy pops percs like skittles) and the drama fat boy is going through trying to adjust to the slow life and his marriage.

Not to mention it's a new show and ALL of these characters are still being developed bruh

Remember, Vernon doesn't have any money right now, this ALL Reggie trying to squeeze $$$ out of Spence, He's lived the good life off Vernon's back and is feeling the pinch, if it really was the chick 50k is a good come up, it just isn't enough of a come up for Reggie!

Spence saw something in the angle those pics where taken!
 
Another strong episode!

A suggestion for next season is to have another dynamic football player as a main character because Ricky kills it but I'm underwhelmed by Charles and especially Vernon.

And fuck Vernon trying to flex on Spence like he's the reason he's getting extorted. Mafucca you and that bitch ass nigga Reggie were the ones snorting coke of hoes, not Spence.

Underwhelmed by Charles and didn't get enough of the Vernon/Reggie dynamic in this ep, but you they do alright... you love to hate Reggie
