Soul Food (How the Pacers can smell Big Momma's cookin' but they can't eat just yet)

"You smell that dawg? I gotsta have it bruh!"

Henry David Thoreau, the famous author and poet, once said, “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation.” Jim Carry broke it down like this, “People need motivation to do anything. I don’t think human beings learn anything without desperation.” Then Benjamin Disraeli, the 19^th century British politician and writer, stood up and shouted, “Desperation is sometimes as powerful an inspirer as genius.”

Well playas…the Indiana Pacers must be the smartest duns in the NBA right now because they are as desperate as they come. This time last year they were the battlin’ for the No.1 seed in the East with Miami and now they’re simply tryin’ to get a seat at the freakin’ table bruh. They were in the 10^th spot as they arrived to the arena to play the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night. By the time they had taken care of business by beatin’ Mark Cuban’s homeboys 104-99 they were tied for the 9^th spot with Boston. Desperation is a beast bruh!

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! It’s only 9 games left on the schedule playa and every one of them is a must win. Unlike last year when boyz were already in the ride and they were just tryin’ to figure out who was drivin’ vs. who was gonna ride shotgun. Now boyz are about to pull off without a boy!

They just wanna be in the ride at this point and they don’t care if they’re sittin’ on the dull hump in the back seat. It’s real out here and they aren’t tryin’ to be walkin’.

So on Sunday night C.J. Miles unleashed the dragon on Dallas and put up 28 points to lead the Pacers on a ridiculous shootin’ exhibition. They finished the night shootin’ 50 percent from the field and 58 percent from downtown! That’s NUTS!!! Both George Hill and “Skittles and Lemonheads” brought 14 points to the cookout. While both David West and Rodney Stuckey delivered 10 apiece with mild sauce on the side.

Ole “Skittles and Lemonheads” not only shook a boy down for 14 points but he had 7 rebounds too. That’s what I’m talkin’ about playa! If we could get that type of production every night I wouldn’t be callin’ him Skittles and Lemonheads!” However, more often than not that dun is sittin’ in the back seat of the whip eatin’ Skittles and Lemonheads while the rest of the homies are battlin’ in the middle of the street tryin’ to keep a boy from takin’ their sneakers and jewelry.

Well it’s real now bruh! Nine games left and you can smell the greens and ham hocks in the kitchen that Big Momma’s cookin’! Unfortunately, you’re standin’ outside right now with your face pressed against the window lookin’ at boyz preparin’ to sit down to go to work on it. The question is playa, are you gonna let a boy take the final seat or are you willin’ to push him out of his seat to get to the soul food that you can only get to once a year? I’m just sayin’! Stop me when I start lyin’!

Holla At Ya Boy!
