"Young Bloods"

"You can't push us around anymore & I want my money back!"

During the first two games of the Western Conference Finals Tony Parker and his boyz were at school gang bangin', throwing up sets and wearing colors strong. They were rocking the their hats bent and dragging handkerchiefs out of their back pockets. These cats were literally on the bus terrorizing all of the young kids that were actually going to school to get an education. The San Antonio Spurs jumped all over the Oklahoma City Thunder 2-0 in what looked like a cake walk when this series started.

At one point the Spurs enjoyed a 20 game winning streak that dated back to April during the regular season. The veteran team that at one point looked to be unstoppable are now getting housed by the younger more athletic and somewhat naive Oklahoma City Thunder. After falling down into a 0-2 rusty toilet the Thunder have won 3 straight to take a commanding 3-2 lead in the series after an exciting 108-103 win on Monday night.

Led by Kevin Durant, the Young Bloods are just young and dumb enough to believe that they can tame these veterans and make it to the Finals. What boyz are sleeping on is the fact that Durant is 6'10" and bringing the rock up court, pretty much playing the point and being the scorer both inside and out. Who does that bruh? That's the great thing about being young, you don't realize that you can't accomplish things that don't make sense. The crazy thing about this team is that the average age of their starting lineup is 24 years old. They haven't even rationalized that what they're doing doesn't make sense to older more wiser people. No team this young has ever done this before! That's why people put so much value in veteran teams.

All I know is that Durant put up 27 points and his road dawg Russell Westbrook threw in 23 points to carry the Thunder to a big win on the road. Now these cats are one win away from eliminating the team with the best record in the NBA.  Sometimes having too much wisdom and knowledge can be debilitating because rational thinking takes over.

That's why I always say that in order to be great you've got to be somewhat delusional. You've got to believe that you're actually better than you are in order to push past all of the naysayers or haters, if you will. If you don't believe in yourself then who will bruh?

When the Thunder went down 0-2 nobody believed that they could bounce back but the guys in that locker room. Who would have thought that these young cats could win 3 straight against a team that had previously won 20 in a row? It defies all logic but it was possible because of the mentality of the players. Also by getting some advice from the ole playa's in the barbershop that say things like, "Listen up Young Blood, you'll never lose women chasing money but you'll always lose money chasing women!" See young boyz are more motivated by women than anything else so the ole playa's had to give it to them raw. Winning is gonna keep money in your pockets bruh and therefore women! It's just that simple! In their Chris Tucker voices as they ran out of the locker room in San Antonio, "Let's do this, MAN!!!!"

They thought that if they could hang in there to Game 5 they had a chance because the ole timers would start to  run out of gas and sure enough the tank is now on fumes. It was key to win both games at the crib to even the joint up. Now the young legs have taken over and it looks like San Antonio will be going fishing on Wednesday. Tim  Duncan may even go over Niagara Falls in a bucket at this point bruh!

Holla At Ya Boy!
