On Everything I Love (Pacers 97 Heat 93)

"That's on my Momma bruh!"

Paul “Bear” Bryant once said, “If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride – and never quit, you’ll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards.” The famous speaker, William J.H. Boetcker, got up and said, “Your success depends mainly upon what you think of yourself and whether you believe in yourself.” Then Diane Sawyer shut the building down with, “Whatever you want in life, other people are going to want it too. Believe in yourself enough to accept the idea that you have an equal right to it.”

Well the Indiana Pacers believed that they in fact have an equal right to win playoffs games in this series too. On Friday night knowing that they couldn’t afford to go down 0-2 to the defending NBA Champions or better yet come back to Indiana without Big Mommas ride that Frank gave away on Wednesday. It was a must win situation for the Pacers and boyz stepped up to win 97-93.

The entire Indiana starting 5 came into the building with the attitude, "This joint is on everything I love!" Then they started taking boyz sneakers and jewelry from the word go. Each one of them finished in double figures with Big Boy Roy being a beast in the paint with 29 points and 10 rebounds. Paul George went to work with 22 points and threw 6 dimes while David West chipped in 13, George Hill and ole Lance added 10 to the kitty for the second run to the “L.”

After Frank Vogel completely gave the ride away gambling in the Pork ‘N’ Beans Projects on Wednesday it was serious business on Friday night. Again the Pacers starters played significant minutes to pull out a win on South Beach. Each of these cats played at least 39 minutes with both David West and George Hill putting in 41. The question is, can they continue to play those types of minutes the entire series? Well, if they wanna win this joint they’ll have to because their bench doesn’t give them any room for error. They got 5 points from those duns last night.

On some real talk the Miami bench was dull too. Shane Battier (o points) couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat in the middle of the ocean playboy. Ray Allen (6 points) was running up and down the court like he’s been playing the spinning game with his forehead on the bat. He can’t hit an elephant in the butt with a base fiddle at this point. Norris Cole’s ’88 flat top is weighing him down right now. He walked out of the joint with 3 points bruh.

 Now was it them or was it the best defensive team in the league puttin’ in work? I’d say it was the latter of the two playboy. Now LeBron is gonna get his bruh. You can’t stop him from doing what he wants to do. He put up 36 points and grabbed 8 boards on GP last night but they held everybody else in check.  Bosh (17) and D. Wade (14) were productive but those other duns were in the back room gettin’ tossed. The Pacers defense is a beast!!! 

On some real talk, I just wanted to run out on the floor and kick Mike Miller in his butt when he hit the 3-pointer at the buzzer to close the half. This dun hadn’t played since George Jefferson lived next door to Archie Bunker and this fool takes one shot all night all by himself and he’s hurt. What? Nobody touched him or even breathed his way and he needs help off of the floor. Y’all know I’m telling the truth.

I know y'all saw Paul George take the Birdman's entire soul out of his body and and dry clean it with that monster "That's on my Momma Dunk?" OMG! It was a wrap after that joint. The Birdman might show up with all of his tattoos removed on Sunday. He's on his way to confession right now after that joint.

I promise when I see Udonis Haslem on Sunday Ima have my wireless clippers in my pocket and Ima run up on that cat and cut that pubic hair growing out of his face. Attention all men! If your joint doesn’t have the DNA to connect then you gotta be clean shaving. He looks like he’s touring with Anthony Hamilton and doing all of the facial stunts for him. Ole boy looks like the jick standing in front of the “L” asking boyz for exactly 43 cents. Then when you give it to him he says well just let me get a dollar. Then you gotta just curse him out. That’s Udunis bruh! Stop me when I start lyin’!

Game 3 at Bankers Life FieldHouse should be a great one playboy. Question is, will the Pacers fans show up or will it be a home game for the Heat like it always is in Indy when big name teams show up. When the Lakers, Heat or the Bulls come to town you don’t know whether you’re at home or away. That’s so dull. It’s the NBA playoffs bruh and that type of behavior could cost the Pacers a game or 2 pimpin’! I’m just sayin’!

Hey LeBron, ESPN put up a stat the other day that you were the most clutch player in the league this year because you've made 45% of all shots taken to win a game under 10 seconds left and Kobe was second at 27%. With 17 seconds remaining you gotta gribble around until YOU find a shot. It's OK not to make the right basketball play sometime bruh! Take the FREAKIN' shot because you've earned it. Stop me when I start lyin'!

Holla At Ya Boy!
