The Bus Trip (The REAL reason the Heat were able to run up on the Pacers so easily)

"You sure you want some of this playboy?"

Winston Churchill once said, “Continuous effort – not strength or intelligence – is the key to unlocking our potential.” Jesse Owens said it this way, “We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.” Then my guy Mahatma Gandhi poured out a lil’ liquor for all the dead homies and said, “Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory.”

Well… the Indiana Pacers didn’t give the full effort for four quarters on Friday night in Miami and ended up getting the brakes beat off of them 98-86. They completely ignored Gandhi trying to flag the team bus down on its way to the American Airlines Arena to tell them that too. They saw this little cat with glasses rockin’ a bath towel and sandals and laughed at him.

As soon as they rolled by him the driver took a wrong turn into Overtown and boyz came out of the bushes on them. All of a sudden this Philistine dressed in full armor swooped down on top of the bus and hit them with 36 points disorienting everybody. Rio dismantled the engine with 13 as U.D. flattened all of the tires with 11. Chris Bosh blasted the windows for 10 and Tony Douglas took the bus driver down with 7.

Huh? Oh I didn’t forget about D. Wade playboy, he’s on short term disability. I had to help that dun fill out the FMLA forms before the game so that he wouldn’t get written up for missing too much work.

As the chaos ensued the Pacers were still trying to figure out what hit them because everything was all good up until the break. It was a 45-42 ball game at that point. Then they found themselves in the middle of a dice game in the projects. At the beginning of the third quarter it got real and the Heat went on a 16-0 run and never looked back.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! When boyz started fighting for their survival the same duns showed up that always show up. Paul George unloaded his usual 22 to at least slow down the onslaught followed by D. West’s 18 and 8. Luis Scola climbed out of the back of the bus and hit them with 12 as Lance The Don Dada Mr. #BornReady himself pulled out the stun gun and gave them 11!

"Did y'all ever find Roy bruh?"

Ole Roy Hibbert was hiding in the rest room on the bus the entire night bruh! This cat finished with 5 measly points and 1 freakin’ rebound and that joint came with just over 2 minutes left to play. He must have been standing on top of the toilet seat so that they couldn’t see his feet when they bum rushed the joint. The whole time he was in there all you could hear was him saying, “We got some selfish cats on this team! Nobody even came in here to see if I was OK. Ain’t that a blip!”

George Hill must have had his hands tied behind his back because that dun didn’t attempt a single shot all night. Understand this playboy, he played a total of 33 minutes in a professional basketball game and didn’t pull up at all but turned it over twice. That means that he was getting paid to play and for some reason unbeknownst to the entire world there wasn’t a single opportunity to shoot. I’ve heard of boyz shooting too much but I’ve never heard of the boy not shooting at all. Wheredeydodatat?

The Pacers really didn't play all that bad bruh! They just did what they've been doing in terms of giving the rock away and against the best transition team in the league you can't afford to give it up 16 times. They shot better than Miami all night at 47 percent from the field and 57 percent from behind the arc vs. 46 percent and 37 percent for the Heat. However, when you've got duns hiding in the bus you can't win games like this. It has to be all hands on deck!

I told you cats that rest wasn’t the answer for this team on Friday morning in my joint entitled "Boot Up" but you wouldn’t listen to me. I don’t know how many people called me a hater for saying it but I’ve got to keep it real playa! I’m not gonna tell you what you wanna hear. I’m gonna tell you what’s real.

Now the Pacers have to win their final two ball games to even have a shot at clinching the No. 1 seed in the East. However, if Miami wins out they're shot. Then the question is, can they slow down KD on Sunday at the crib? First, they’ve gotta pull Roy out of the John, untie George Hill’s hands and start listening to Gandhi because satisfaction lies in the effort, full effort is full victory! And until they get all hands on deck they've got problems!!! Stop me when I start lyin’!

Holla At Ya Boy!
