"The Porch Screamer!"

The Pacers hold off the Heat in Game 2

When you were growing up there was always a kid that would talk trash like he wanted to fight but would never put his book bag down until he got to his front door? He would talk all the way home and as soon as his mom answered the door he'd throw his things down, get loud and say, "Come on right now!" He was notorious for getting into his folk's car and hollering out of the window as they were driving off. The guy really didn't want to fight but he only acted like it when there was a crowd or his mom was standing nearby to protect him!

As soon as the Pacers defeated the Heat in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semi-final 78-75 boyz came out the wood work talkin' trash and jumpin' on the bandwagon. The emergency room was full last night from fake Pacers fans pulling hamstrings and breaking ankles for trying to get on the bandwagon that's been moving at warped speed all season long. They had boyz all out in the hallway putting casts on because it was so crowded. If you didn't know any better you would have thought that it was a hot summer night in the ghetto and gun shot victims were rolling in.

 Now I guess by now you know that LeBron is my guy and I've been riding hard for him to do well because so many people unfairly hate on him. It's completely unfair to compare him to guys like Jordan when it comes to titles at this point in his career because his 1st 7 years in the league were in Cleveland. Cleveland bruh! Nobody wins in Cleveland!  So obviously my Twitter account just about exploded when the Pacers pulled off the victory.

Know let's keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! I'm cool with folks enjoying the win last night because it was an exciting game to watch and it makes the series that much more interesting. Not only that, I'm covering Game 3 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse so I'm excited about the series coming home to Indy. The Super Bowl in February and now the NBA Playoffs. I couldn't ask for any more.

However, what I want to see is all of those folks that were at the hospital last night buy tickets to the game and quit frontin'.  As good a team as the Pacers have they are the 2nd worse team in the league in attendance. C'mon bruh! If your gonna talk trash spend money at the same time. Because the only other times the Fieldhouse has been sold out this year is when the HEAT come to town! I know because I'm there every night.

 It's like the Beatles are in town when they show up bruh. FULLY grown men in LeBron jerseys trying to get autographs all over the building and ole boy Cole is from Ohio somewhere and his whole freaking home town shows up on 5 chartered buses and buys up an entire section by themselves. It's shameful the amount of support they get in Indiana when the Pacers have a very good team.

I'm cool with boyz hollerin' at me because that's my motto! Understand this though, it's the NBA Playoffs and the best team always wins the best of 7 series. One win doesn't win the series bruh! So before you start screamin' on the porch you need to wait until your mom comes home before you take a beat down and no one is there to pull the cat up off of you. There are still potentially 5 games left to play in this series and those 3 home games the Pacers have now aren't really home games. I'm just sayin'!

The Heat can't make excuses that Bosh wasn't there because D. Wade missed a layup and LeBron blew two free throws down the stretch. So I don't want to hear that Bosh's absence hurt them. They still have enough in the talent in the tank to win this series. Spoelstra has to be smart with LeBron's minutes because he's playing 40 plus and that will make a difference as the series moves on. Excuse? No, because they know that today! Fix it and move on! Boyz on that bench gotta step up!

I give David West mad props last night for telling his teammates to get off of the floor after the win. He was telling them that this ain't nothing, it's only one game. They began to celebrate like they had won the series or even the title. That's a bad sign bruh! That tells anybody that's been around sports for more that 10 minutes that the Pacers were just happy to win ONE game. The young boys on that team forgot that they have to win 3 more of those joints. West understood that and the veteran acted like it.  Congrats to the Pacers for playing like they're capable of playing and getting a big win on the road.

One last thing, if you are a Bulls fan you're not allowed to participate in any more trash talk because your license has been revoked until November bruh. We've heard enough foolishness from you this year. You should be at the crib licking your wounds trying to get out of the Matrix.

Holla At Ya Boy!
