H.O.R.S.E. (Pacers 75 Knicks 85)

"I'm shooting all night, I ain't passing nothing and I'm burning up with all these clothes on playboy!"

The famous self-help author and motivational speaker, Tony Robbins, once said, “In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.” Then Stephen Covey, the author and educator, said, “Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character.” Big Momma just kept it real and said, "That boy is who he is. Don’t expect any more or less from him!”

The Indiana Pacers are who they are playboy. They are a very good team that for some strange reason plays well for 2 or 3 games and then completely falls apart. They’ve been consistent with that M.O. all season. So going to Madison Square Garden and laying an egg and losing 75-85 to the Knicks was consistent behavior for them whether they had George Hill (concussion) or not.

For the past two ball games the Pacers have destroyed the Knicks on the glass. In Game 4 the Pacers were plus 18 on the boards. However, in game 5 the Knicks were plus 3 in that department. Turnovers killed Frank Vogel’s squad as they committed 19 of those joints.

What is it about the Garden that gives the Pacers the shakes bruh? They are 1-4 in NYC this season. Maybe it’s the lights and all of the people bruh because it ain’t the Knicks! There nothings special about a team that has a dun that shoots all night for the sake of shooting.

Melo is looking to score and if they get a “W” is the process then he’s cool with that too. Ole boy put up 28 points on 28 shots bruh! He was 12 of 28 with 0 assists! You read that right pimpin', 0 assists!!! You almost have to do that on purpose playboy! That means this dun was pretty much playing H.O.R.S.E. in the middle of the NBA playoffs! Wheredeydodatat?

During the game my boy Joey sent me a text to ask the question, “Is Melo playing outside bruh? Why does he have on so many freakin' clothes?" This clown had on a muscle shirt without the muscles... stop right there bruh! I've never in my life seen a professional athlete with absolutely NO muscles! You gotta throw that dun through a plate glass window to get some cuts on him!

Then he had on two arm sleeves, what looks like a full leotard, wrist bands and a head band. He may as well be playing in a snow suit playa. That’s why his shooting percentage is so terrible, he’s got on too many freakin' clothes! I was waitin' on ole boy to run into the locker room and put on some of those old school grey sweats with his shorts on over them joints looking like Jake Shuttlesworth from "He Got Game."

Pacers fans have nothing to worry about though! They are 5-0 all-time when leading a best-of-seven series 3-1 and the Knicks are 0-12 when down 1-3. So they’ll swing back through the Fieldhouse and finish these boyz off on Saturday. If Melo comes out there with all of those ignorant clothes on it just makes life better for the Pacers right?

You know he’s gonna shoot all night, not pass the ball, dehydrate in the fourth quarter and not score a point like he did in the previous two games in Indy! Why? Because he's gonna have on a turtle neck sweater, a skull cap and his socks pulled up to his rectum with some Timberlands on. He'll need an IV to get off of the floor! Stop me when I start lyin’!

Holla At Ya Boy!
