"The Smoke Breaker"

"C'mon bruh not again! Just let me get at that Black & Mild in my sock!"

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar once said, “I think the NBA players have to be held accountable in a reasonable way, just like any other professionals.” Old man Mr. Willie at the convenience store on the block always said, “I’m not gonna pay you to stand around bruh. So if you want this money, you're gonna have to earn it.”

Dwayne Wade needed to work for Mr. Willie when he was coming up because he would have understood that concept very well. As the Miami Heat were in a battle last night with the red hot Golden State Warriors, who have now won 5 straight, D. Wade took that notorious smoke break again. The Heat was eventually stunned with .9 seconds left on a dull lay up by rookie Draymond Green to lose 97-95.

My problem isn’t with the loss because teams will lose ball games because it’s the NBA. You can’t win them all but you need to be competitive in all of them. D. Wade only put 14 points in the kitty again while Bosh gave up his normal 21 points and LeBron threw his normal 30 plus in with 31 points.

Wade is starting to be that cat that never has any money when the fella’s hook up to get it in and is always looking for somebody to sponsor him tonight. You know that dun bruh? The guy that shows up at the club and doesn’t say a word until you get to the door and then says, “Man can you pay for me to get in tonight? I'll get you back later.” Then when boyz start buying rounds he’s got the second round but hooks up with a chick in the corner when it’s his turn to buy. When you signal over to him to buy his round he signals back, I'm on something bruh hold up and never buys! Yeah, that guy!

I know y’all saw Wade disappear again last night when he got poked in the eye, got bumped and went down like he got shot in an alley. C’mon playa, you gotta have more in you than that! You grew up in the Chi so if nothing else you should to be able to play through some cat poking you in the eye or at least be able to walk off of the court to get treatment. This dun laid down like they needed to get the paramedics out there. Also, what’s with him always being on the floor? When ever he takes a shot he ends up on his back. He needs a helmet and shoulder pads on at this point.

In order for the Heat to make a run again this year D. Wade has got to step his game up and quit being soft on the floor and chill out on them Black & Mild’s in the parking lot during the game! How many smoke breaks did he take during the playoffs last season? He's starting to become as soft as drugstore cotton candy and that ain’t gonna fly this year because boyz are gunning for them in 2013! I'm just sayin'!

Holla At Ya Boy!
