Runaway Train

"That's why they call it a TEAM homie! Cuz we all can dance!"

The motivational speaker, Brian Tracy, once said, “The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear.” The self-help guru, Tony Robbins, told the boyz in the barber shop this, “One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.”

Well the Miami Heat ain’t dabbling in nothing playboy! They’re in a zone and it wouldn’t have mattered who the opponent was on Sunday evening, they were gonna get ran over.  Just so happen it was the Indiana Pacers that showed up in South Beach and got that thang put ‘em 105-91.

The Pacers have beaten the Heat twice this season by double figures. However, both games were in Indy and quite frankly the Heat weren’t in the trance they’re in right now. That doesn’t take anything away from just how good the Pacers are this season either. It just says that the Heat are like a street gang running through the hood right now carjacking boyz and snatching sneakers. They’ve beaten every team in the league this year and that sends a strong message to cats going into the playoffs.

It’s not just LeBron doin’ work, the other Joe's are rockin’ ski masks too. Mario Chalmers put up 26 points, Chris Bosh added 24 and ole smoke breaking slam ball playing D. Wade threw in 23 for good measure. For some reason D. Wade has found his rhythm and has been ballin’ like he’s supposed to do lately.  He must be chewing that Nicorette or wearing one of those patches because he hasn’t been running to the parking lot for smoke breaks lately.

This is what I like about LeBron. He saw that the other duns were goin' to work and didn’t try to force his way into the joint. He allowed the game to naturally come to him. Other selfish cats would have gotten jealous of boyz scoring and would have started gunning on GP just to pad the stats. Instead, he took shots that naturally came his way putting up a season low 13 points but threw 7 dimes, picked off 6 rebounds and was a beast on defense. He had no problem with Mario shinning as long as they got the “W.”

Now both LeBron and Jordan have led teams to an 18 game winning streak according ESPN Stats and Information. However, it’s a TEAM effort so boyz kill me trying to put it on the superstar to make the comparison. Neither Jordan nor LeBron won 18 straight by themselves. It takes a team effort to play at that level.

It’s like saying that Paul McCartney didn’t need the Beatles to win or Beyonce’ didn’t need Kelly and Michelle. We’ll, she didn’t need those duns. She could have sang with two rats playing a banjo, wearing combat books and been just as successful. But my point here is that they play with 5 on the floor and boyz coming off of the bench for a reason.

Beyonce', Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie are the only duns I know of that completely wasted their time even joining a group. As good as LeBron is he NEEDS all of those cats to win playboy!

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! I feel sorry for rest of the teams standing on the tracks now that Miami is peaking. The conductor has put a brick on the accelerator, disabled the brakes and jumped off of the train bruh! If you’re in the way it’s about to get ugly. That’s real talk!

Now that these boyz are clicking you may as well just ship the trophy to South Beach and start the off-season now playboy! Because this ain't college basketball where anybody can win on any night and advance. In the NBA you have to win multiple best of 7 series for a month and a half to win a Ship. The BEST TEAM (not the best players) ALWAYS win the NBA title!

Holla At Ya Boy!
