This all looks great on a poster playboy but the great ones actually come back and play! |
The English playwright, Noel Coward, once said, “It’s discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.” His homeboy and novelist, George Orwell, broke us off with this, “In a time of universal deceit – telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” Big Momma shut the building down with, “At some point you gone stop lyin’ to folks and do what you supposed to do.”
The Chicago Bulls are sitting in the 5th spot in the East with a very dangerous squad when they’re motivated to play. Two weeks ago they ended the Miami Heat’s 27 game winning streak and on Thursday night they carjacked Melo and Company’s 13 game winning streak 118-111 in overtime. The caveat here is that they are doing it without their best players, Derrick Rose (head case) and Joakim Noah (foot).
Cats like Jimmy Butler brought 22 points to the party, Nate the Great added 35 from the car seat and Luol Deng chipped in 16 and a bottle. While these cats have been puttin’ in work this year ole dull D. Rose has been Chillaxin’ for the past month or so! That’s old school hood for chillin’ and relaxin’ at the same time bruh! I know I wasn’t the only person to see ole boy up in a luxury box kickin’ it with the family last night while his teammates were puttin’ in work. So Bulls fan don’t even act like you didn’t see that dun loungin'!
He looked like he was at a family reunion or running for mayor! Dude was posted up, kissing babies, taking pictures and telling lies. Y’all know when boyz get together they start lyin’. So you already know. All that was missing was a game of spades or boyz throwin' bones.
Again, if the medical staff has cleared you to play, then you gotta play pimpin’! Why? BECAUSE IT'S YOUR FREAKING JOB!!! Delusional Bulls fan don’t try to justify this cats behavior. In my Uncle Willie's voice, "He wrong!" If HE’s already been cleared and HE’s admitted that HE’s 100% physically capable of playing, HE’s going 100% at practice in scrimmages and HE’s already admitted that it’s all mental. The HE needs to be playing!
If that were LeBron chillaxin’ in a suite during his own team’s game and not on the bench in full gear at least TRYING to play they would be burning him at the stake this morning like he was a witch doctor doing voodoo without a chicken foot. Stop me when I start lyin’ playboy! Not only does this cat have the audacity to run game he’s comfortable with it because nobody is questioning his behavior.
It’s like a cat that gets so comfortable stealing that he’ll come to your crib, drink up all of your liquor, eat your food and steal everything that isn’t nailed down on GP. Why? Because you never questioned him.
Most people watching sports know absolutely nothing about sports. So it’s easy to tell a cat that I’m just not ready mentally and they’ll accept that all day long but you can’t run that game on former athletes. See I know that there are boyz in that locker room that are pissed at Rose for not even trying to come back.
They aren’t talking now but wait until they get eliminated in the playoffs. The first cat's contract that isn't renewed or that is traded is gonna start singin’ like Prince in some hot pink pants with the butt out! In my Huggy Lowdown voice, "Waaait for it! Derrick Rose YOU ARE the bama of the week, week, week!!"
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! If ole boy had started playing when he was cleared he would be back in game shape by now. Practicing isn’t the same as playing against real competition. See those boyz at practice aren’t beating him up like cats that don’t care about him would. He should have already been working up from 12-15 minutes to 20-25 minutes and so on and so forth.
You’re a complete fool if you think this dun is gonna just be able to show up on April 20th, day one of the Playoffs and pick up where he left off. It doesn’t work like that playa! His lungs are gonna explode trying to keep up with that pace if it tries to comeback then. It’s the playoffs for crying out loud.That's an entirely different animal.
Y’all can act like you don’t see the 800 pound elephant sitting on the coffee table sippin’ on syrup in Big Momma’s living room if you want too. Derrick isn’t playing because there is no motivation for him to play. He’s already got the guaranteed bread at $95 million with the Bulls and $200 million with Adidas. Like I said last week in the Hot Joint entitled, "Drugstore Cotton Candy", if it were a contract year that dun would be playing and giving the Bulls a better shot in the playoffs.
I'll leave you with this, Michael Jordan would be playing! Kobe would be playing! LeBron would have no other choice but to be playing and this dun is sitting over here Chillaxin'!
Holla At Ya Boy!

The quote under the caption is my opinion.
You are right. How can they allow that to take place. He is milking the system. They need to tell him if you can't play we need to restructure your contract. Hit him where it hurts. You get played to play basketball and you need to honor that if a team of expert doctors have medically cleared you.
