"Dadgummit"

Sorry playboy, I'm in a zone and you gotta get worked too!"

The French clarinetist Paul J. Meyer once said, “Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.” Confucius hollered at the boyz and gave ‘em this, “The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential…these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.  Aristotle told the cats at the car wash, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” Because boyz have missed his rims the last two times through and he likes to floss.

Well the Miami Heat looks to be on that mission for excellence as they ran through the Oklahoma City Thunder like it was practice 110-100. The score was in no way indicative of the complete carjacking that they put on Kevin Durant and his boyz. LeBron dropped 39-12-7 and narrowly missed shooting at 60% to extend the streak of going for 30 or more points with deadly accurate shooting 7 straight games. Ole boy missed a 3 with just over a minute left when the shot clock was expiring with the Heat up by 10. So he had to settle for shooting at a mere 58%. In my Bobby Bowden voice, “Dadgummit!”

More importantly, the Heat put the Thunder and the rest of the NBA on notice bruh! We are the defending NBA champions and we're still the team to beat, if that’s even possible in a best of 7 series. The Heat are 6-0 against the Thunder in the last 6 meetings and LeBron has averaged 30.2 points, 8.2 dimes and 10.3 rebounds. Well, I guess all of the foolish MVP talk of Durant being in the hunt got on the plane with LeBron last night huh? Just pack that joint up now and send it to Miami and we’ll find something else to argue about after the All-Star break.  Like how many playoff games it’s gonna take for the Heat to win another title?

Will somebody please tell me why D. Wade always ends up on his back after he shoots? He must have an inner ear infection or Veritgo of something that’s only triggered by shooting the freaking ball.  I swear that dun drives me crazy lying flat of his back all night long! While Chris Bosh put a respectable 20 in the kitty Wade came through with only 13.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! For $17 million Wade’s got to bring at least 20 to the party every night and cut down on the smoke breaks homeboy. Trying to win a 2nd straight title ain’t no joke so all hands on deck including the snow angel himself, Dwayne Wade!

It should be fun to watch down the stretch because the rest of the East will be gunning for these boyz. However, if Miami continues to play at a high level they’ll have no problem repeating as NBA Champions because nobody has an answer for LeBron! His supporting case just have to show up and keep the water out of the boat and just allow him to steer! Just like boyz do in the hood when a dun's car stops in the middle of the street! His crew gets out and pushes and the cat behind the wheel just steers it all the way to the crib!

Holla At Ya Boy!
