The Bandana (The REAL reason the Pacers finally picked up a "W" inAtlanta)

"This is gonna hurt bruh! But I gotta try it anyway!"

I was in Buckhead hangin’ out before the game on my normal trip to Lenox Square when the valets started trippin’ over the subject of overcoming. Moliere, the 17^th century French playwright, said, “The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.” Albert Schweitzer, the German theologian, threw the Maserati keys at a boy and said, “One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.” Then William James, the famous philosopher, just straight up stole old lady Johnson’s Benz when he said, “Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.”

Well the misfortune for the Indiana Pacers has been them having to go to Atlanta several times a year. Before Tuesday night they had lost 12 straight regular season games in the “A” including getting the brakes beat off of them back in January. However, on this trip boyz must have followed the rule because they walked out of the joint with an 89-85 win over the Hawks.

What rule do you ask? Section 3 Article 4 of the “Let’s Kick It in the "A" Rule Book” specifically states, “If you’re in town on business don’t go anywhere near Magic City, the Blue Flame or the Clermont playboy because you’re sure to be dull and broke when you leave. And whatever business you’ve got to take care of tomorrow is busted already so you can go to the crib now.”

They read the joint from cover to cover and went to work on the Hawks this time. David West didn’t take off his blinders until he stepped on the court because the scenery in the “A” alone can mess a boy up. He led Indiana with 22 points as Paul George just went on ahead and played with his blinders on bruh and added 18.

The Pacers focus was extremely important coming into this ball game because the Hawks had won 5 of their last 7 games and had scored more than 100 points in each of those 7. Ole Frank Vogel made sure that the screws were tightened on Tuesday night holding them to only 85 points.

Boyz were so focused on not getting distracted by the scenery that they put the complete bandana on the Don Dada Mr. # BornReady himself. It was a great idea at the hotel and before the freakin’ game! However, they forgot how Lance sprints down the floor on fast breaks like he’s at the Rucker.

So he didn’t see Milsap standing in the lane at the 7:56 mark of the third when he went up for the yoke and went down like the Broncos did on Sunday or better yet like Death Row after Dre' took his beats and broke landing on his shoulder and hip badly. Ole boy didn’t return the rest of the way but at least he made the Sports Center top play of the day.

So from now on bruh take the bandana off before the tip. Once you’re between the lines it’s all good. It’s just getting to the arena that’s the problem. I saw the Magic City napkin fall out of his pocket when he went up for the dunk though bruh. So he was peeking but didn't just see what he was supposed to see. His "Basic Instinct" was to see the dun standing in the lane not the skirt Sharon Stone-ing him sitting courtside! If you’ve been to the “A” you already know. That’s why boyz in the barber shop don’t even trip when they lose down there. Stop me when I start lyin’!

Holla At Ya Boy!
