"The Head Busta"

"Rondo is taking boyz to school & they have no answer!"

Back during the regular season I made the comment that Rajon Rondo was the best point guard in the league and boyz went nuts as they usually do when I say something that the so-called experts haven't said yet.  I usually get labeled as a hater because I didn't agree with what most of the clowns on Twitter or the cats sitting around the table or in the barbershop have to say. When everyone was riding the strap of Derrick Rose I wasn't buying it. He's explosive to the rack but outside of that his game's limited. I keep telling folks that Rondo's a walking double double and you can't teach that. He picks them up like getting the newspaper in the morning bruh.

The fact that he's been gifted genetically allows him to do what very few people can do with the basketball in their hands including Derrick Rose. He's a point guard so he has to handle the rock on nearly every possession. The fact that he's only 6'1" and just 185lbs but has a 9 foot wing span and extremely big hands is freakish. It allows him the handle the rock flawlessly and dribble without others taking the joint not to mention he has unbelievable court vision. Those are all of the things a true point guard needs to have and he has more. 

In game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals he put up another double double, 15 points, 15 assists, getting his teammates involved and putting them on his back to hold off the Miami Heat 93-91 in overtime. The Celtics blew an 18 point lead and only survived because of poor decision making on Miami's part down the stretch. 

I keep hearing everybody ride LeBron in closing ball games but when is Erik Spoelstra and D. Wade going to take some of that heat too. No pun intended! During the last possession in regulation LeBron's got the rock with 4.5 seconds left and he passes the ball. I know that all of the basketball experts in the barbershop are going to ride him for not taking the shot and to some degree they have a legitimate beef. 

However, why doesn't he have other shooters on the floor just in case he gets doubled or in this case triple teamed. Why wasn't Mike Miller or James Jones not on the floor? After all, they are 3 point specialists! What did ole boy in Four Brothers say? "I asked for out-of-town shooters! What I get? In-town shooters! If  I get In-town shooters, I get In-town problems, if I get In-town problems, I get In-town police! That's why I asked for Out-of-town shooters!"

That's Spoelstra out there winging it again bruh. Like he has been for the past two seasons. Also why did Mario Chalmers bring his defender to the ball as well. That's coaching 101! You expect that from a former videographer though!

Also during the final Heat possession in overtime D. Wade gets Marquis Daniels in the air and lets him off the hook. Instead of jumping into him to force the foul and 3 shots from the line he takes the shot and misses. They call them joints "FREE Throws" because you get to shoot them without a defender in your face. That opportunity was basketball 101 and Wade blew it but the world only saw LeBron pass the rock with 4.5 seconds left. I'm just sayin' bruh!

Let's keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! LeBron has to take that shot in regulation because he's supposed to see that he doesn't have shooters on the floor at the time. So as the "MAN/The King/Chosen One" he's got to put it on his back to try to win it. Had he taken it and hit the joint he wouldn't have had to worry about fouling out in overtime. That's REAL TALK!  He has to take that shot because there's no negative consequence in missing the joint. The ball game was tied. C'mon bruh! Stop me when I start lying bruh!

Also what was real talk was Rondo studying at the Jay Graves school of saying what's on your mind regardless of how people feel about it.  After leading the Celtics to the highest-scoring half the Heat have surrendered this postseason, Rondo kept it all the way 100, saying in his televised halftime interview with ESPN's Doris Burke what was working for Boston was the Heat "complaining and crying to the referees in transition."

That was as real as it gets bruh! They continued to do that the entire game. Play the game bruh and stop crying down the floor. After the game Burke asked him about his comments again to see if he was going to back off of them. Rondo, like a real G said,  "What I said was true. I don't take back what I said. That's what it is."

The series now shifts back to Miami and it's now the best of three in which the Heat have two at home.  Can they just win at home and stop crying? We'll see! 

Holla At Ya Boy!
