Bout It (The REAL reason the Pacers can't win right now playa)

"No Flex Zone! You knooow better! You Knooow better!" 

John P. Kotter, the Harvard Business School professor, once said, “A higher rate of urgency does not imply ever-present panic, anxiety, or fear. It means a state in which complacency is virtually absent.” Leonardo da Vinci broke it down like this, “I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.” Then Jim Rohn, the author and motivational speaker, ended the conversation by sayin’, “Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value.”

Well playboy…the Indiana Pacers’ desire to win in Miami on Friday night lost its value when boyz decided to play with no sense of urgency for two and a half quarters. They came up short in 89-87 after finally realizin’ that they were supposed to play for four quarters.

Let’s keep it real for all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! When you and the fellas jump in the whip and roll into somebody else’s neighborhood with rival colors on you gotta be ready to squab as soon as the car stops. There is no tryin’ to feel a boy out to see if he’s bout it or not. The fact that he’s in rival colors and doesn’t live in your hood should tell you that it’s on as soon as they blow the whistle playa.

When the Pacers pulled up on South Beach the Heat didn’t waste any time pullin’ duns out of the ride and givin’ them the business. By the time boyz looked up the Pacers were down 21points bleedin’ from the mouth and butt naked. The Heat had stripped every piece of jewelry and gear off of them at that point.

I guess Indiana thought that it was gonna be an easy win since they had already beaten these cats twice this season. Well playa, this is the NBA and nobody is goin’ to just let you waltz in and get a win without havin’ to scrap for it.

It wasn’t until midway through the third quarter when boyz were down 20 points that they went on an 11-0 run to close the gap. Unfortunately, the run was too little, too late. C.J. Watson missed a wide open baseline jumper at the buzzer that would have tied the joint and sent it into overtime.

Big Momma calls that takin’ a boy for granted! Here’s the problem with this team pimpin’! There is no consistent leadership on the floor. When you’re relyin’ on cats to come off of the bench to lead you in scorin’ and hustlin’ that’s a problem. Sure, I can appreciate that boyz like Luis Scola (led the Pacers with 14 points) and C.J. Miles (had 13 points but usually leads boyz in scorin’) can come off of the bench and ball out but they shouldn’t be your floor leaders every night. Otherwise, they should be startin’ and Bird needs to find some more reserves because the duns startin’ are a waste of good bread! It’s ridiculous that Roy Hibbert plays 18 minutes, gives you 4 points and 2 rebounds on a $55 million contract. In my Spanky from the Little Rascals voice, “Don’t drink the milk!! Why? It’s spoiled!”

Like I’ve been sayin’ for weeks bruh, there is little room for error for this team. So therefore, you can’t turn the ball over 18 times and expect to win. The only reason the Heat guards didn’t destroy them like the past 4 sets of guards have done over the last week or so is because Chalmers is…well Chalmers and D. Wade is about done bruh.

Here’s my diehard Pacers fan screamin’, “Jay you’re a hater man! They were a bucket away from winnin’ that game last night dawg!” Yeah bruh, but if they had gotten out of the car with a sense of urgency in the first place it wouldn’t have even been close. Miami’s horrible without LeBron! I just told you what’s happenin’ with D. Wade and Chris Bosh still has the heart of the Cowardly Lion. Stop it! They shouldn’t have lost that ball game no way no how. The word for today is Urgency! Up next Orlando and stop me when I start lyin’!
