Hittin' a Lick (Knicks 71 Pacers 82)

"Give me that son!"

General George S. Patton once said, “The test of success is not what you do when you are on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.” Big Momma always said, “Baby, you can either cry about it or do something about it but you better figure it out real quick!”

The New York Knicks beat the brakes off of the Indiana Pacers in game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinal matchup at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday 105-79. In my Mr. Willie from the car wash voice, “They beat ‘um like they stole something!” Well on Saturday night the Knicks rolled into Naptown looking to get at those boyz in the same manner and got carjacked in the parking lot before they even got out of the ride.

The Pacers had 3 full days to think about that beating and just manhandled them 82-71. Now on some real talk, the score wasn’t indicative of the defensive beat down that Indiana put on them. The Knicks were held to just 11 3-point attempts all night and they got destroyed on the boards 53-40.

Big boy Roy Hibbert jumped out of the bushes with 24 points and 12 rebounds while George Hill hit up the back window as they were pulling in with 17 points. Before they could even realize what hit them Paul George unloaded 14 into the passenger side door. Then my man David West got into their trunk for 12 rebounds and 11 points on GP.

It was like when a dun would go to a neighborhood cross town to holler at some girl but it’s a set up. She really wasn’t interested but her boyfriend told her to act like it so that he could hit a quick lick. When he pulls up smelling good with some new gear on to impress her. Ole boy has a pocket full of money because he’s flaugin', they may even call it stuntin' where you're from! You know how we do when we meet a new one bruh! We gotta be geared up and smelling good. That was the Knicks last night playboy! Everybody in the ride had on new clothes and a watch that could choke a horse.  

As soon as they pulled up they gave them an empty claim check and made Melo and Co. check all of it in pimpin’!  Of the 11 3-point attempts the Knicks had Melo only took one of those bruh! He was held in check with only 21 points and 1 dime. As a matter of fact, that 1 assist was a lot for him because he’s the black hole. How does a cat get this far in his career and never learn how to really play the game?

He’s a scorer no doubt about it bruh but a scorer can’t beat you by himself. There is a reason why they have 5 players on the court and not 1. If they only needed one person it would be called track, tennis or golf and even in golf somebody has to help you get the freakin' clubs bruh!

 They need all 5 people to get involved but if there is a clown on the floor shooting all night and not passing the freaking ball or playing defense your TEAM is gonna be dull. Let me throw this on the table too playboy, that dun had no steals or blocks. I say let him shoot until he passes out because one cat can’t beat you.

 Like I keep sayin', the Knicks are one of the worse run organizations in the NBA. They're in the largest media market in the WORLD and can't put a TEAM together. These duns haven't won an NBA title since 1973 and have crazy talent every year. The only problem is they have the wrong combination of talent. Stop me when I start lyin’!

Holla At Ya Boy!
