Popcorn (Why Golden State still has no shot but the Playoffs have been NUTS!!!)

"C'mon bruh!! All this fire power and you still doubtin' me?"

Michael Jordan once said, “I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” Arnold Schwarzenegger promised he’d be back and said, “Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.” Then the triple O.G. Vince Lombardi, poured out a lil’ liquor for all the dead homies and said, “Winning is not everything but wanting to win is.”

Well playas…I don’t know about you, but this has been the most excitin’ NBA post-season that I can remember watchin’ in a long time bruh! Winnin’ isn’t everything but wantin’ to win is. All of these boyz are puttin’ it down and leavin’ it on the floor every night. I haven’t seen this many buzzer beaters ever in the NBA playoffs.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Cleveland is showin’ up to the Eastern Conference Finals banged up like they’ve been in a car accident and nobody was wearin’ a seat belt in a Smart Car. However, the will to win has been ridiculous to watch. Atlanta muscled its way past a Wizards team that was sick to watch and Paul Pierce was like Benjamin Button because the dun just keeps gettin’ younger and better. Well…let’s just say he can still shoot.

I know boyz in the ATL are goin’ nuts this mornin’ because they haven’t been to a Conference Final since ole dull Richard Nixon was lyin’ and hustlin’ boyz and Marvin Gaye was askin’ cats “What’s Goin’ On” in 1971! Cats were just still rockin’ the gangsta white walls on their Coupe De Ville’s bumpin’ the Chi-lites “Have You Seen Her.” They haven’t won two playoff series in the same year since James Brown was tellin’ boyz to “Say It Loud- I’m Black and I’m Proud” durin’ the 1968-’69 season. Talk about strugglin’ and appreciatin’ to the come up bruh!! The country had no idea that Lyndon B. Johnson would leave the White House and Nixon would come in and eventually get jammed up at the Watergate. It’s crazy how things go down playa.

Golden State is just as nuts this mornin’ because they haven’t been to the Conference Finals since Bruce Jenner was that dude. I mean REALLY that dude in 1976 when he was on the Wheaties box. Think about that bruh? It was the freakin’ Bi-centennial and boyz could get a $2 bill all day every day. The Jacksons were tellin’ cats to “Enjoy Yourself” and the Commodores kept scootin’ over “Just To Be Close to You.”

We don’t know what the freakin’ Clippers and the Rockets are gonna do because neither one of those duns act like they wanna win or can even appreciate the moment right now. If Doc can get these boyz to focus they'll be alright but they're all over the place at this point. They've got boyz that can bang inside and CP3's runnin' the point. They can get to the Finals if they quit trippin'!

I still say that Golden State can’t win a title only shootin’ 3’s! It’s not gonna happen because at some point you gotta put your back to the basket and bang with a boy. Memphis had the formula with Z-Bo and Gasol but they went away from it and they’re freakin’ Memphis. Some cats are just gonna be who they are, just another team playin’ in the NBA. It was cool to get to playoffs and play in the semifinals but we ain’t really tryin’ to win a championship type cat. They let a boy beat them up shootin’ 3’s!!! They gave up 14 or more 3’s in three consecutive playoff games pimpin’!! Wheredeydodatat?

If nothin’ else you start punchin’ boyz in the throat before you give up 14 three’s! That’s like lettin’ a boy shoot spit balls at you in class. Okay the first two or three times it’s funny but on the fourth you’re stickin’ that straw in his rectum. And that’s the edited version. No way in the playoffs do you let a boy just keep pullin’ up on you from the freakin’ parkin’ lot. At some point, on some real talk, you gotta get inside of ‘em and lean on him. And you gotta make him work on the other end of the floor. So by the middle of the third quarter he’s got no legs to keep pullin’ up from Big Momma’s house.

Yeah playboy, it’s been fun to watch and it’s only gonna get better. In my T.O. voice, “Better get ya popcorn ready!” Just don’t invite that dun over to watch the game because he’ll be askin’ you, “Let me hold $20 ‘til payday” and he doesn’t have a payday maaaaannnnn! As long as LeBron keeps makin' the duns around him better Cleveland's gonna be hard to beat. Stop me when I start lyin’!
