    I agree with Daryl and Dekker. Frosting is the worst part of the cupcake. The cake itself is all. Marie Antoinette was actually attempting to win over the masses when she declared, "Let them eat cake." She should have added, "It is the best part, after all."

    Light frosting or whipped frosting ftw. Screw that cream frosting that they put way too much of it on.

    Right now, Isiah hartenstein is better than dekkar.

    Only problem is Mike d'antoni lost focus on development of hartenstein and new talent amidst his personal contract extension negotiation.

    Why did he even draft him? Hated the pick from the start. Horrible player.

    Dekker is apparently derived from the old Dutch word "decken" which means "to cover".... much like frosting covers the cake/cupcake.

    Dekker was obviously the frosting on the cake, he was discarded by Darius.

    The frosting is the only reason to eat a cake, btw. Everything below it is merely a sugar delivery vessel.

    folk etymology: one who hits the deck, as in tripping on one’s own shoelaces

    synonym for spazzola

    Strangely enough, I think this is one place he could've developed into a quality player, provided he upped his 3% to the 35% range (form was kinda broken though).

    just realized he posted that a day after his birthday.

    probably just had too much cake, and couldn't stomach anymore icing.

    The problem with most frosting is it’s way too strong and not complementary to the cake. You can pile it high when it doesn't overpower.

    Celebrity Cupcakes, across the street from Rice U, is by far the best I’ve had.

    Frosting or cake...

    Its like ive been tellin you people for years about our team...

    IT'S ALL ABOUT BALANCE!!!!

    Cake and frosting - Offense and defense... its all about finding the proper balance! One without the other can be good - but not nearly as good as when they are both present and complimenting each other...


    but typically i prefer the cake part... ;) lol

    Awesome logic. How could a GM possibly trade someone with whom he shares a dislike for icing!

    Frosting is good if it's buttercream frosting and NOT that fake-azz whip cream trash.
    And definitely not caked-on...... see what I did there:)
