Gold Diggers (Why Indy sports fans won't ride or die with the Colts or the Pacers)

"Just keep on fightin' bruh! I got you playboy!"

On my way to Bankers Life FieldHouse, I stopped to get some cocktail shrimp from St. Elmo’s. As I sat down I heard these cats choppin’ it up about resilience. Elizabeth Edwards said, “Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it’s less good than the one you had before.” Albert Bandura, the renowned psychologist and professor, dipped his shrimp in that fire sauce and said, “In order to succeed, people need a sense of self-efficacy, to struggle together with resilience to meet the inevitable obstacles and inequities of life.” Then Jamais Cascio, the famous design strategist, turned the joint out with, “Resilience is all about being able to overcome the unexpected. Sustainability is about survival. The goal of resilience is to thrive.”

Well… both the Indiana Pacers and the Indianapolis Colts must have been listening to these cats argue because they took their advise. The Colts pulled a miracle comeback to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 45-44 and the Pacers got the mud out of their eyes in the second half to go on to beat the New Orleans Pelicans 99-82.

The Colts game started at 4:30pm and the Pacers joint didn’t tip until 7. So as sports fans we all were watching the Colts get their doors blown off during the pre-game of the Pacers joint and on press row with the monitors in front of us once the game started. The fix was in bruh! Both of these duns were fallin’ asleep at the wheel.

The Pacers couldn’t hit the side of a barn in the first half. I mean, they couldn’t hit water if they fell out of a boat. I'm sorry, they couldn’t hit an elephant in the butt with a base fiddle playboy. At one point they were shooting 30% from the field and 20% from behind the arc. Now they were getting great looks but they weren’t falling. As the Colts were down 38-10 with 13:39 left in the third quarter the Pacers were gettin’ car jacked by some duns named the Pelicans!

Stop right there bruh! Who came up with the Pelicans? I know that a team’s nickname should reflect the area etc. but the Pelicans bruh? If you wanna strike fear in the other teams heart call it the New Orleans Hurricanes or the Voodoo or better yet the Wardy’s. All of my hood dwellers or former hood dwellers know what I’m talking about and have Lil' Wayne as the mascot! That would scare anybody half to death!

All of a sudden I see Colts fans showing up in Bankers Life after walking out on the boyz down the street. What kind of fans are these people? It’s the freakin’ playoffs for crying out loud! Regardless of the score you don’t walk out on a boy in the playoffs. If they lose that’s it so you at least stay to show them your support. And who's got bread to have NFL playoff tickets and NBA tickets on the same day? Are you kidding me?

Ima keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! That’s typical Indianapolis sports fans for you though. The Pacers were the 2^nd best team in the East last year but was 26^th in the league in attendance. Boyz are like groupies and gold diggers around this piece. If you ain’t on top they ain’t hollerin’.

So when the Colts figured out that they were good enough to beat the same duns that they blasted just a few weeks before they stopped playing around and went on and won the freakin’ game.

The Pacers on the other hand, went to the break dull and down 7 points. That’s when Paul George decided to put the clamps on Indy’s own and former Indiana University star Eric Gordon who exploded in the first half for 17 points. In the second half George held that dun to just 4 points. PG led the Pacers with 24 points and 10 rebounds as Lance Stephenson gave boyz that street edge that they always need and he chipped in 19 to call it lovely.

It was a great sports day in Indy but these ole dull so-called sports fans in this town have to go bruh! They remind me of the gold diggers in front of the club! They'll holler at a boy until somebody else pulls up in a better lookin' whip. Cities like Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Dallas and Chicago show up when their teams are losing in the regular season and can’t sniff the playoffs. Folks in Indy will walk out on a boy that’s knee deep in a playoff game. Wheredeydodatat? Only in Indianapolis! SMH.

Holla At Ya Boy!
