Double or Nothing (Game 2 Pacers/Heat Preview)

"Man Big Momma is gonna kill me if I don't get that ride back bruh!"

Frank Vogel has been up for the past 36 hours looking for his ride in the Pork ‘n’ Beans projects in Miami after he left that joint running at the gas station when he went in to buy a lottery ticket on Wednesday night. Big Momma warned him about gambling too. The police told him that he was on his own because they didn’t look for rides that were given away. So instead of preparing for Game 2 this dun can’t get over going to the ghetto and gettin' caught slippin’!

I would say that it happens to the best of us but it doesn’t playboy! It only happens to cats that didn’t grow up in the war zone that don’t know any better. How do you play 51 minutes and 58 seconds of lights out basketball and get out of the ride and leave the keys in it with some stone gangstas in the parking lot? There was one in particular that was 6’8” 260 lbs. that is known around the world as a beast in these streets and you trusted that your whip would still be there when you came out of the store.

Late last night Vogel got a tip that the cats that had his ride were still in his joint just joy riding, kicking it with the fellas and that they would be at the American Airlines Arena tonight at 8:30pm. If he wanted his joint back they would play him for it.

So instead of staying up all night he decided to get some sleep and get his team ready to play. Because if he comes back to Bankers Life FieldHouse without it Big Momma is gonna kill him! She just put new rims on that joint and an old school snatch out.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes first! The Pacers played out of their minds in Game 1 and still came up with an “L” because Vogel was overthinking the situation by keeping Hibbert on the bench. No excuse for that type of foolishness bruh! So that was a game that should have been won. However, the Pacers M.O. all season has been to play very well for 2 games and then lay an egg. So that means that they still have at least 2 eggs to lay in this series. Using new math that’s 3 “L’s” right there pimpin’ and they gotta play in Miami again tonight.

Each of the Pacers starters played a minimum of 41 minutes in Game 1 and they lost a heartbreaker where 4 Heat players accounted for 92 of the 103 points they put up! Miami got essentially no production out of Ray Allen(4 points), Norris Cole(2 points), Shane Battier(3 points) or Udonis Halsem (2 points).  Niether Mike Miller, Rashard Lewis or James Jones played bruh and they’re the sharp shooters when boyz really need a rest! That ain’t gonna happen again in this series homeboy! Once the shooters take the safety off, in my Bernie Mac voice, “It’s gonna be t-r-o-u-b-l-e!”

No way can the starters for Indiana can play 40+ minutes the entire series and their bench doesn’t give them a chance in the world of keep water out of the boat if boyz sit down for a breather.  What happens when Miami goes on one of those spurts and goes up 12 or 15 points? Indiana doesn’t have the fire power to come back. Especially if boyz are playing 40+ minutes just to keep up.

So on some real talk I still say the Heat in 5 bruh! Because losing game 1 the way the Pacers did took more out of them than boyz think. They’ll get the doors blown off of them tonight because they’re emotionally drained from running all of the “what ifs” through their heads about Game 1. Not to mention the fact that Vogel has been to every hood spot in Miami looking for his ride over the past 36 hours. Stop me when I start lyin’!  

Holla At Ya Boy!
