As I was covering the Indiana Pacers/Orlando Magic joint last night I couldn’t help but be reminded that the boyz down on South Beach sit on the thrown. They’re picking up hardware tonight to only fuel the fire to win yet another title. So the question is, who’s gonna change the status quo around these parts bruh?
Can the Pacers put themselves in a position to push those boyz to the brink like they did last year? Or better yet, can they push through them and get to the Finals? On some real talk, they’re the only cats with the personnel that have a chance to do it bruh.
The usual suspects came in with Ski masks on but left finger prints all over the room. Paul George led all scorers with 24 points and Big Boy Roy Hibbert grabbed 16 rebounds (all in the first half) before leaving the game midway through the fourth quarter after falling bad underneath the Pacers bench. I swear that dun is clumsy! The Pacers picked up where they left off beating boyz that they should beat and walking out of the joint with a 97-87 victory to open the season.
If anybody is going to have a shot at pushing the Heat it’s going to be the Pacers simply because of the presence in the paint. That’s why the Heat signed ole dull Greg Oden. He’ll pull a Juan Howard all season long rockin’ street clothes and getting paid a cool million to do it and they’ll call on him during the playoffs.
I just wish that dun would smile at least once. Every time they put the camera on him he looks like somebody stool his bike, took his Now & Laters and talked about his momma in the process. You would think that if a boy had only played 82 games in 5 years that he’d be smiling like Alfred E. Neuman on the sideline because he’s getting a check but not him.
Ole Derrick Rose made his debut against the Heat last night as the Bulls got the brakes beat off of them 107-95. They quickly reminded ole boy that these streets ain’t no punk out here. I know all of the Bulls fans had high expectations for their boy last night but it takes time pimpin’! It’ll be darn near Christmas before he gets into a full stroke. He hasn’t played in a year and a half so be patient.
What blew everybody away on day one was the fact that the Lakers bench came to the house party and turned the joint out by beating the Clippers 116-103. Everybody including Big Momma thought that Doc Rivers, CP3 and Blake Griffin would put on a show at the Staples center. Instead, it was some duns that nobody outside of LA even knew. They had cats out there without names on their jerseys and rockin' Chuck Taylor's! The Lakers bench scored 76 of their 116 points bruh! That’s the most points scored by their bench since 1988. I swear I heard Doc pull a Hank Stram and shout, “What the hell is going on out here!”
As good as the Pacers looked the Heat looked even better! They picked right up where they left off; taking advantage of missed shots and turnovers to get into transition on boyz. If you don’t have an answer for that it’s gonna be the status quo playboy! Sure, the Pacers can beat them up inside because let’s face it, Greg Oden’s ole Slep Rock “Wowsy Wowsy Woo Woo” acting butt isn’t going to be the answer but can the Pacers slow these boyz down? I doubt it very seriously!
Oh yeah, let’s go ahead and address the 800 pound Siamese cat rockin’ purple Timberlands and a Cross Colors skull cap in the room while we’re sitting here too. Ain’t no way the Pacers are gonna keep ole fragile Danny Granger bruh! They just paid the dun that replaced him last year $90 million! They’ve got crazy chemistry without him and took the Heat to 7 games in the Eastern Conference Finals.
They’re going to get that dude detailed, put him on the showroom floor and trade him before the deadline. Do I know that for a fact? Absolutely not! But does it make sense? You bet it does! Why keep a boy and pay him tall bread when you don’t need him and you gotta convince him that he ain’t the man anymore? It makes no sense. So in my Huggy Lowdown voice, “Waaaait for it!” and stop me when I start lyin’! The NBA is Baaaaaaaaaack!!!!
Holla At Ya Boy!
