spencer’s funeral and his partner is the special guest and roasts spencer so hard and than revels that they are getting a cat together but everyone thinks it’d a baby announcement lmaoooo or however you wanna end it
Special News
pairing: spencer agnew x f! reader
a/n: anon i love this idea so much!! guys please don’t come at me for these terrible jokes i’m just a girl really 😜 also i’m posting sm rn go me
requests are open <33
“lebron james inspired us with his baller moves. steph curry inspired us with his words. spencer agnew inspired us by being a piece of shit, so we would never follow in his footsteps.”
you’re stood at the podium of the funeral, spencer in the coffin next to you holding a bouquet of plastic flowers as he tries not to laugh.
“spencer is a gamer, and we all know that. but if he spent as much time with me as he does on world of warcraft, i’d be the happiest girl on earth, but hey, at least he has a high gear score to keep him company whilst i cook.”
you see everyone laugh as you switch the paper, angela cackling over what you thought was a pretty shit joke.
as the laughter dies down, you continue on. “spencer and me only ever disagree over stupid things, and i think to myself, he must know he’s short when he has to look up to see eye-to-eye with someone who's shorter than him, because i’m always right. i’m sure courtney feels the same about shayne.”
at this, courtney yells “FACTS!” from behind one of the cameras, and you shoot her a wink.
shayne then stares you down, and all you say is “shayne don’t worry, i’m a short king ally!” which he just smirks at.
“i have some pretty bad jokes here, so let’s quickfire some.“ you mutter to everyone.
“if sleeping on my arm were an olympic sport, he’d have more gold than michael phelps.” this earns a giggle from spencer, as you have a folder on your phone of him asleep in the most awkward ways possible, always lying on your arm somehow.
“he’s so obsessed with video games, even his posture looks like it's from a character model that hasn't loaded properly yet.“ this makes everyone cackle, spencer opening one eye to glare at you, and you just laugh him off.
“your gamer boy posture is so bad, chiropractors have your picture on their vision boards on what to improve on.”
“do you guys think that,” you exhale through your nose at what patrick has written on your prompt card. “spencer’s idea of sitting normally the same as a pretzel’s idea of being straight?” which is so bad it’s good, making you crouch down to laugh.
you stand back up after a moment, your stomach twisting over what you’re about to do. it’s going to be so worth it, but gosh you feel bad.
“spencer, my lovely boyfriend, is a mt dew kickstart addict, certified gamer girl, and a soon to be father” and at this last statement, everyone gasps, and spencer’s eyes shoot open and he sits up. he looks at you intently, and you see him experience about a hundred emotions at once
you smile at everyone, turning to a camera, pulling out a printed off certificate of adoption, a picture of a tiny ginger cat taped to it.
“we got a cat!” you say, almost proud of how shocked everyone is
as you turn to look at spencer, you hear shayne’s laugh, and you look at spencer with sympathetic eyes, mouthing ‘i love you’ to him over all the laughter. he just smiles, knowing that this cat is going to be so loved by you both. especially you. because you love him so much.
as you sit back down, spencer sits up. having come back from the dead, he has some things to say. he goes through everyone at his funeral; alex, shayne, damien, tommy, selina, and then, you.
“and finally, my beautiful girlfriend, y/n. my bundle of sunshine, blinding and hard to look at directly.” you scoff at this, and he looks at you with a look that says this is a joke please don’t kill me when we’re home.
“i mean, come on, you cry at surf's up? i guess even animated penguins have higher emotional intelligence than you.” he manages to say through a fit if giggles. spencer always teases you for this, even though he cries at the NGE film. loser.
after wrap, courtney comes over to congratulate you on your cat, and just catch up generally.
“so, cat parents hey? proud of you girl” she says with a grin.
“yeah, i kinda feel bad scaring everyone into thinking spencer gets game in bed.” you reply, earning a laugh from her.
“don’t be mean to me! i’m a player you know?” spencer says coming up behind you.
“okay, sure you are mr ‘i cry at anime’.” you snap back.
he throws his hands up in defeat, and you kiss his cheek, going off to see amanda.
“she’s so cool.” courtney says
“yeah,” spencer replies. “she’s not that bad.”
she elbows him in the ribs, and he clutches his side
“i mean, she’s the best!” he says through strained teeth, courtney doing a proud nod before catching you up.

paige bueckers x azzi fudd
summary:
Jon Wanna explain why my friend asked me if it was true that you and Paige were making out at a bar last night
Jose WHAAAAAAT
four times paige & azzi were on tiktok live
rated: teen
2.8k words
disclaimer: you kinda have to know about the lore surrounding all those lives they've been a part of to fully understand this. this is based around existing events, but obviously a fictional interpretation of those events. also a warning that this is sappy as hell
[AO3 LINK]
“Let’s go! Two more points!” Paige’s shout echoes through the room. She stands from the bed and howls at the top of her lungs.
Azzi is unfazed. She knows just how much Paige loves LeBron. In fact, to her embarrassment, she has spent countless nights staring up at his face as she laid in Paige’s bed.
She hears Amari proclaiming that she’s single and sees Paige go over asking to be dapped up.
“Someone said Paige has a girlfriend and I have a boyfriend.”
“Paige does not have a girlfriend,” Inês protests, or maybe it’s Ice, Azzi can’t really tell, too distracted by Paige who has come back over to the bed and is leaning half over her with a smirk. Azzi rolls her eyes, but still returns the soft peck that Paige presses to her lips.
Then she playfully shoves Paige away, letting her get locked into the game again while she reclines on the bed. Almost immediately, she finds herself becoming extremely bored. Maybe she’d be interested in watching if LeBron was getting the record against Steph, but he’s not. Azzi didn’t even recognize the team he’s playing against.
She grabs Paige’s ever present iPad and pulls up her favorite game.
Paige stares back at her, eyes wide and incredulous. “Azzi, we can’t play- Are you serious? She wants me to play a game right now, when LeBron’s about to get the record?”
Azzi pouts at her, but Paige doesn’t give in. Instead, she jumps up, yelling, “Lock in!” as the game returns from commercial break.
But when not even half a minute later, a foul is called, Azzi takes advantage.
“Free throws! Come play,” she demands, and Paige flops back onto the bed without protest. Inês makes a whip motion with her hand, and Paige gives her the middle finger.
“Don’t laugh at me,” Azzi whines.
Eventually, the game starts again, and Paige stands up, shouting about the gameplay. LeBron finally breaks the record and everyone screams in celebration. They all watch the ceremony before Amari begins to wrap up the live.
“Only cuz of LeBron, not cuz of Azzi.” Paige says, when a viewer mocks them all for shutting up at Azzi’s complaint. But she still crosses back from the other bed, laying beside Azzi for some quick cuddle time before she has to go back to her room.
“Paige, someone’s gonna take you to breakfast,” Amari reads.
“Better not.” Azzi mutters, under her breath as the others laugh.
Amari ends her livestream, and they spend a little more time messing around, until they realize that it’s almost curfew.
Ice turns to Azzi’s bed which has been suspiciously quiet for the past few minutes.
“She’s asleep, already?!” Paige appears to be deeply asleep, mouth slightly open and face pressed into the pillow as Azzi cuddles in behind her.
“Shush, you know she has trouble sleeping sometimes.” Azzi whispers over her head.
“Well, she’s gonna have to have trouble sleeping in our room, because I’m not getting in trouble when the coaches come for room check and lover girl is missing because she’s over here being your little spoon.” Ice grabs a pillow from Inês bed and whacks Paige in the face with it.
“Bruh, what the hell?!” Paige sputters.
“Let’s go! I want to sleep too.”
“Ugh, fine.” Paige stands and quickly gathers her things before going to stand beside Azzi’s bedside. Without a word, their friends turn away as Paige leans down to kiss Azzi goodbye.
The next morning, a knock sounds at Paige’s door.
“Ice, answer it.” Paige shoves her head under a pillow.
“You’re closer to the door.” Ice complains.
“Freshman duty.” Paige fires back.
“I’m not even a real freshman!”
Knuckles rap against the door again. “Room service!”
Paige finally drags herself to the door and pulls it open. The hotel employee wheels in a cart full of food, transferring it onto the table in the corner of the room. Paige thanks him and he leaves.
A full breakfast spread covers the table. A small white card sits by itself on a plate at the center of all the food. Ice wanders over, drawn by delicious smells. She picks up the card, snorting out a laugh at its contents.
“Thank you, Azzi.”
Paige’s face scrunches up with confusion before she takes the card from Ice’s outstretched hand.
Enjoy your breakfast.
Love, Not Paige’s girlfriend
//
Azzi wakes to the sun shining directly into her face and her bed moving beneath her.
It’s only when the bed groans in pain that she realizes it’s not the bed that’s moving, it’s Paige beneath her, burying her face into the crook of Azzi’s neck.
“Why do you sleep with your blinds open?” Paige hisses, clearly as hungover as Azzi feels.
“I do not sleep with my blinds open,” Azzi rasps, unable to raise her voice above a whisper as her head pounds. “I didn’t have time to close them after you threw me onto the bed and koala bear’d onto me.”
“You know I get cuddly when I’m drunk.”
It’s an understatement. Azzi is still foggy on some of last night’s events, but she can remember how Paige had spent half the night latched onto their teammates and the other with her hands glued to Azzi’s body.
Azzi throws the blanket over both their heads, hoping the darkness can help them recover before they have to wake up. But before they can get any meaningful rest, a knock sounds at the door.
“Hey, are you guys decent?” Caroline’s voice comes through the door. “I’m coming in, in three, two, one.”
She still gives them a few more seconds. She’s one of the only girls on the team that hasn’t walked in on them, and she wants to keep it that way.
Azzi has poked her head back out of her sheets, but Paige remains hidden, just a lump in the blankets.
Caroline places a bottle of Gatorade and a bottle of coconut water on the bedside table alongside some pain killers.
“Caroline, my angel.”
Azzi sits up, throwing back the pills with a deep swig of the coconut water. She nudges Paige, who simply rolls over and buries her face in Azzi’s stomach.
“Dude, drink the Gatorade.”
Paige cracks an eye, looking up pitifully. “Feed me.”
“Ugh.” Caroline makes a disgusted noise. “Well, when you guys are good, Ice brought breakfast. Not sure how much you remember from last night because you both were pretty gone, but something happened on Ice’s live that you’ll wanna see.”
“Um, that don’t sound too good.” Paige has finally propped herself up to take light sips of the Gatorade that Azzi has passed to her.
“It’s not a huge deal,” Caroline says, clapping her hands together. “Just something you should know about.”
“We’ll be out soon,” Azzi replies, and then Caroline exits, leaving a confused Paige and Azzi behind her.
Azzi sighs and reaches for her phone, shocked to see her group chat with her brothers has over ten unread messages.
Jon Wanna explain why my friend asked me if it was true that you and Paige were making out at a bar last night
Jose WHAAAAAAT
The rest of the texts are mostly them arguing about a clip on tiktok and asking Azzi if it means that she and Paige are coming out.
She tilts the phone to let Paige read the messages.
“What the fuck? Ice! Isuneh!” Paige gets out of bed, suddenly very awake and heads toward the dining area, Azzi following close behind.
A bunch of the girls are gathered at the dining area, some eating and some clearly waiting out their hangovers.
“Good morning, Paige and Azzi! I brought breakfast.” Ice says, her voice sounding falsely positive.
“What happened last night?” Paige questions, taking the last available seat next to Ice and pulling Azzi to sit on her lap.
Ice winces and slides her phone over. “Before y’all get too mad, it’s been wiped from TikTok and not that many people saw it.”
The video is only a few seconds long, a grainy snippet from Ice’s livestream from the night before. The camera pans along the bar, showing Jana, then Caroline deep in conversation with Azzi who is wrapped up in Paige’s embrace. They watch as Paige’s hands roam from low on Azzi’s hips, up toward her back as she turns toward Paige with a hand on her face. And then the camera is jerking and the frame fills with Ice’s shocked expression.
“Bro, you need to warn us when you’re on live. That could’ve been so much worse.” If Ice had kept her camera on them for even a second more, it would have been much worse.
“I’m sorry, but I did! It’s not my fault you can’t keep your grabby hands off!”
“You know I can’t help it. Did you see her last night?”
Even now, Paige’s arms are wrapped around Azzi’s waist, and her chin is tucked over her shoulder as they look down at Ice’s phone.
Ice rolls her eyes as Azzi smiles, pleased at the comment.
Suddenly, the smile drops as Azzi looks sharply at Ice. “No more lives. You’re banned.”
“What?! That’s not fair!” Ice looks pleadingly at Paige, always the more lenient of the pair.
“Let’s just chill on the lives for a bit, aight? At least until this blows over.”
Everyone agrees, and after Ice apologizes one more time, Paige and Azzi take their breakfast back to Azzi’s room so they can get some more sleep.
Paige only lasts three days before she lets Ice and KK back on live.
//
It’s nearing 11:30 PM when Paige tells Ice and KK that she’s heading out.
“Girl, boo.” KK shoots her a thumbs down. “I thought we were gonna play some more Fortnite.”
“Nah, I’m tired dude. Supervising y’all on live took a lot out of me.” Paige smirks as KK rolls her eyes and Ice, the main instigator in most of their slip ups, muffles her laughter.
Paige leaves them to their own devices, slipping out of the apartment. She doesn’t tell them the real reason she’s leaving early, that Azzi had made it clear that if Paige showed up at her door past midnight, they would both be sleeping alone that night. The girl takes her sleep seriously.
She can imagine how much shit she would get from the girls if they knew how she refused to even consider spending a single night away from Azzi, but she doesn’t care. She just wants to be near Azzi, always.
Paige lets herself into Azzi’s apartment, which is dark and quiet, with all its occupants asleep or on the way. She heads into the bathroom, brushing her teeth with the brush she keeps there, and gets ready for bed.
When she finally makes her way to Azzi’s room, she’s surprised to see light still shining from beneath the crack of the door. She eases the door open, as quiet as she can. She isn’t surprised to find Azzi asleep, with a book in her lap and her glasses falling off her face.
Paige doesn’t try to stop the grin that spreads across her face at the sight. She moves closer, putting the book on the bedside table and carefully sliding Azzi’s glasses off her face. Then, she turns off the light, flooding the room with darkness.
“Mm,” Azzi hums as Paige slips under the covers next to her.
Paige shushes her, trying to ease her back into sleep as she pulls Azzi’s head to rest on her chest.
“Go back to sleep, baby. I’m sorry I woke you up.”
Azzi murmurs something else into Paige’s neck, clearly more awake now.
“Watch out for my boyfriend.”
Paige has already closed her eyes, but they shoot open when she registers what Azzi has said.
“Huh?”
Azzi smiles lazily, stretching her body until she’s pressed head to toe against Paige’s.
“Y’know since I apparently have a boyfriend now, he probably wouldn’t like finding me in bed with someone else.” Their legs tangle together beneath the sheets.
Azzi’s words finally register, and Paige groans in understanding.
“What the hell? How’d you find out already?”
It couldn’t have been an hour since the moment where Paige had had a too visible reaction to KK reading a fan’s comment claiming Azzi had a boyfriend and that she was with him at that time. She hadn’t been able to stop her growing smile, and before she even realized it, she was scratching awkwardly at the bridge of her nose, trying to distract from her reaction and Ice and KK’s muffled laughter.
“Ice texted me, but I’m sure it’s all over Tiktok already.”
Azzi shifts again, until she’s seated astride Paige’s hips, hands splayed across the hard, flat plane of Paige’s abdomen. Paige inhales sharply as the other girl begins a slow glide in her lap, hands immediately find their place among familiar curves.
With a sure grip, Paige guides Azzi into a heavy grind, pulling their bodies together until they are both panting. Azzi dips her head to give Paige a searing kiss, tasting mint and something distinctly Paige.
When they part, Paige snarkily says, “What would your man say about you kissing someone else like that?” But the effect is slightly lessened by how breathless she is.
Azzi reaches down to tug her shirt over her head before leaning down again. She whispers, “Stop talking,” against Paige’s lips. Paige does.
//
When Azzi texts that she’s on her way over to the hotel, Paige drops Drew off with Ice and heads to the market next door. By the time she’s done, Azzi’s dad has dropped her off at the front.
It’s been just over a week since Paige has seen her, but Azzi is always a sight for sore eyes. She looks smaller than usual with the big brace over her knee, and when Paige hugs her hello, she holds on just a little longer than what might be considered casual, pressing her face to her favorite spot where Azzi’s neck meets her shoulder and sneaking a kiss there.
“I missed you,” Azzi breathes into her shoulder.
They text almost constantly, and are on FaceTime whenever they’re free, but it’s not the same as being together. It takes Paige back to the years before UConn, before she knew what it really meant that she would sometimes miss Azzi so much it felt like a wound.
She squeezes Azzi around her waist one more time before pulling back and leading her up to the room. She swipes the key to unlock the door and holds it open so Azzi can limp through in front of her.
Ice has taken Drew to bother some of the other girls, so they can have some much appreciated time alone.
Paige has barely shut the door behind her when Azzi is crowding her up against it, throwing her arms around her shoulders as her crutches clatter to the floor. Paige catches her around the waist, dropping her shopping bag on the floor, and lets Azzi kiss the hell out of her.
“You really missed me, huh?” Paige rasps as Azzi moves her lips down the line of her jaw, her neck. Her hands reach down to palm Azzi’s ass, pulling her closer and squeezing.
She knows something is wrong when Azzi pulls back, releasing a choked gasp. Her head ducks down to stare at her knee, throbbing at the sudden movement. When she looks up at Paige again, her eyes are wet.
“I can’t even kiss you without hurting myself.” Azzi lets out a bitter laugh.
Paige remembers the back and forth of emotions that came with such a big injury. How one moment it could be like nothing had happened, but then something would remind you and the world would feel like it was crashing down on you.
She pulls Azzi into the room, helping her to take a seat at the end of one of the beds before going back to the door to pick up her bag.
Paige comes back to kneel in front of Azzi handing her the bag with an uncharacteristically shy look on her face. Azzi pulls out an only slightly crushed bouquet, two family sized bags of her favorite chips, and a stuffed plushie.
Azzi stares at the gifts for a second. She shouldn’t be surprised at Paige’s thoughtfulness, not when she’s been this way for as long as they’ve known each other.
But she loves how Paige can still surprise her after this many years. She just loves her.
So she places the gifts gently to the side, cups Paige’s face between her hands, kisses her softly, and tells her just that.
💗 I love you, Pookie. 💗 9:13
😡🙄 9:14
love you too 9:15

2025 NBA Playoff Preview And The Stories That Matter
The Celtic Repeat
I am in a state of actual physical sickness since June of last year at the sight of the Celtics prancing around in 2024 as NBA champions.
Jayson Tatum actually has me worried. Not because of anything he does on the court, but because I wonder what species of alien being could create a charisma-vacuum like Tatum and then have the temerity to unleash him on us.
Now if there is one thing about these Joe Mazzulla Celtics, it's that they love the 3-ball. Like, to the point of overkill. They will shoot it even sometimes at the cost of more beneficial strategic options. They will pop it, and pop it, and pop it, and pop it.
it's the 2nd year in a row that they average more 3-point attempts than any other team in the league.
For all the dislike and vitriol boiling in my stomach, the games still have to be played, and when the money is on the line, I don't think anyone can beat a healthy Celtics.
Now if Porzingis' health falls to the wayside.......
2. Luka And LeBron
Luka Doncic is a part of one of my favorite storylines regarding the GM of the Mavericks, but outside of the schadenfreude, the Lakers really do have the best duo in the Western Conference and arguably the entire NBA.
Offensively, this Luka-LeBron combo is nasty and I mean real nasty.
It comes down to forcing defenses to pick their poison and punishing them no matter which option they take.
If they load up on the perimeter to stop the 3-ball, it turns into a lay-up line to the paint. If they try to commit to man-to-man, that lets Luka and LeBron feast.
Very few options to stop these Lakers, and only so many teams will actually have the personnel to beat these guys, and it's going to take athletic wings and the right combination of big men to match up with what they are doing.
The other x-factor for these Lakers, is whether they can get the best out of Rui Hachimura and Austin Reeves.
Don't get it twisted or confused, the Lakers championship window is right now!!
3. Jimmy Beans And Steph Leading A Revolution
Jimmy Butler's time so far in Golden State has certainly proven to be worth the squeeze for the Warriors, in spite of what the NBA world thought of him prior to the trade.
Since then, the Warriors have kind of slipped up and I'll be honest, it's kind of mad that they winded up having to go through the play-in tournament, they are 24-7 since Butler joined the team.
The Warriors begin their post season against Ime Udoka's Houston Rockets.
A tricky matchup considering Houston's personnel and a series that's bound to get chippy given some of the recent history between these two clubs.
While Jimmy Butler's contributions matter because of his ability to get to the free throw line, eventually if the Warriors want to do more than just making it to the 2nd round, it's going to come down to the contributions of Brandin Podziemski and Jonathan Kuminga.
If the Warriors have Brandin Podziemski shooting better than 37% from 3 and Kuminga scoring over 14 points per game, while playing above average on defense and offering himself as a switchable defender, then sky is the limit for this team this year.
4. A Cavalier Effort
The Cavs are right along side the OKC Thunder in being the leading team in their Conference, and while there are so many marked improvements, there is one that should be dominating the headlines.
Starting with Kenny Atkinson's role as coach and how he has improved this team.
Evan Mobley for me should be the leading candidate for Most Improved Player of the year, a direct consequence of his vastly improved 3-point shooting, shooting almost 4 times as many attempts per game as the year before.
The biggest catalyst though, is Donovan Mitchell and the growth in his leadership.
People love to throw around their notions of what leadership on the basketball court is supposed to look like, but Donovan's leadership is not being talked about nearly enough.
It's not just about his improved all-around performances, it's the intangibles and it's the lift he gives teammates like Darius Garland.
As good as the Cavs have been, their road to the NBA finals will be dictated by matchups.
I'm confident they'll stomp whoever they play in the first round, but beyond that, it'll come down to how they compensate for the lack of size and athleticism on the wings.
Once they get into the matchup against the Celtics, all bets are off.
5. The Patched Up New York Knicks
I've never been a believer in Tom Thibodeu.
From where I stand Tom Thibodeau's head coaching career should have ended when he mismanaged the health of Luol Deng in 2011, and I very much fear he may do the same to OG Anunoby.
So when reports came out about Mikal Bridges calling out Thibodeau's distribution of playing time and minutes, I wasn't shocked at all, and neither was I shocked by Tom's nonchalant response to Mikal's criticism.
Thibs will shorten his rotations starting with the first game of the first round, because that's what he does.
Delon Wright, Precious Achiuwa, Mitchell Robinson, Landry Shamet and Cameron Payne, are all experienced NBA players and have all been serviceable for the Knicks this year, and none of that is going to matter to Tom Thibodeau, once the first round starts.
This, I fear, will be the thing that ends not just the Knicks season, but Thibodeau's time as coach of the Knicks.
Now, Jalen Brunson's return from his ankle injury will be a much needed boost, but in the end, it's going to come down to Tom Thibodeau.
