"Thick & Thins"

Mike Miller and Paul Pierce gettin' it in in Game 3!

Remember when you were a kid and you and the fella's would be gettin' it in at the neighborhood cage running games all day. The best basketball games in the world were the joints played in the projects in the cages! No doubt about it! However, right in the middle of the best game of the day some "Imp the Dimp the Ladies Pimp" would interrupt the game because all he wanted was one shot. "C'mon young blood let me get a shot?" So because he's the older cat you let him get one but he keeps asking for the rock all while holding up the game. He's got on shorts, pimp socks, street shoes, a belt AND suspenders but nobody blinks!

That was the Miami Heat's Mike Miller during Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Mike is only 32 years old but that Joe gets up and down the court like he's 60! Now he's been ballin' but it's painful to watch him even walk. He'll put up a three and struggle to get back down the court. It's hilarious bruh! During the 101-91 loss to the Celtics on Friday night he was deadly from downtown shooting 50%. I just wanna know how he does it? 

One minute he's struggling to even check in at the scores table and walk on the court and the next he's bursting boyz heads from downtown! He's got to look like at mummy on his off days bruh! He had hernia surgery during the off-season that still from time to time gives him trouble. Then he's got back, ankle and knee problems but he's still out there in his pimp socks giving boyz everything he's got. They call that being a soldier in the hood bruh! If he were a chick he'd be called a Ride or Die! Whatever they call him I want that cat on my team. He played 21 minutes and put up 11 points all without rolling down his socks or loosening his belt and suspenders!

The original joints!

Ole boy got so comfortable shooting around that the other ole timers bum rushed the cage too. Boston's Paul Pierce played 41 minutes and put up 23 points, KG played 34 minutes and added 24 points and 11 rebounds to the collection plate. While Ray Allen scooped up 38 minutes and threw in 10 points for good measure! The young cats just let them have the cage for the day. It was pointless to be disrespectful to their elders and try to fight for the ball. Although Rondo and LeBron wasn't having it. They scored 21 and 34 points respectively!

I guess the key is to let them wear themselves out and on Sunday in Game 4 the old pimps can have a few cold ones on the sideline. You know how they do. They'll get some lawn chairs and an umbrella and post up in the vacant lot, drink, talk trash and play domino's all day. They'll sit out there and whistle at chicks their daughters age on GP. Ain't nothing changed but the score of the game. The Heat will still win this series because they've got more in the tank than the ole timers in Boston can muster up! 

The Heat doesn't need Mike Miller to show up every night but the Celtic's definitely need KG, Pierce and Allen to ball out in order to be competitive. Rondo will get his but it won't save them from going fishing! They can prolong the inevitable all they want but the train is running down hill with no brakes. No Boston team has come back from being down 2-0 since the 1969 squad won the title with Bill Russell and John Havlicek and they were in their prime!

This team is over the hill and kickin' it at Mickey D's in the morning bruh! If the series goes 6 or 7 games it favors Miami all day long! Enjoy the ride but if you're a Boston fan don't worry about wearing a seat belt because you won't survive the crash  anyway! It'll probably be better if you just absorb 100% of the blow that way you don't feel a thing! So if you run up on an old cat today in a pair of thick &thins give him a pound and keep it moving! Just don't let him shoot around until your game is over!

Holla At Ya Boy!
