The REAL reason why the Pacers are all knotted up with the Raptors! "Gumbo"

"Oh, it just got real playboy! And you can tell ya momma that!" 

Donovan Bailey once said, "Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard and sacrifice, and, above all, don't let anyone limit your dreams." Maya Angelou gave it to us like this, "My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style." Then my big sis, Harriet Tubman, broke it down like a twenty dollar bill at a dog fight when she spit, "Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world." 

Well playas...at the very least the Indiana Pacers had within them the strength, the patience and the passion to reach the stars and change the series in Game 4! Boyz got embarrassed in a Game 3 beat down on Thursday night when they allowed Toronto's backcourt to wake up and finally do work. However, on Saturday afternoon Big Momma laid the law down and told them that NOBODY was gettin' any sweet potato pie if they wet the bed again at the crib. They responded with a 100-83 win over the Toronto Raptors to even the series at 2-2. 

Let's keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! On Thursday the Pacers played with no energy or passion and got dog walked by a team that was merely takin' what was given to them. Let's be honest bruh! Toronto is just a higher seed, they aren't a better team than the Pacers. They're the No.2 seed because they won more games durin' the regular season. The Pacers lost like 15 games in the final 2 minutes durin' the season that they shouldn't have lost. Boyz had trouble figurin' out how to close games out. Now none of that even matters! "The Question Is", like Wynans, can you close out the joints now bruh?  

However, the Pacers are a really good ball club. I kept sayin' all season that once they figure out how to play with passion and close boyz out they could be dangerous. And they're dangerous enough to beat these duns from Toronto "If" they play with passion EVERY night. How else do you explain a No.8 seed that barely made the freakin' playoffs bein' all knotted up with the No.2 seed? Because Toronto isn't a better team. So now all of the marbles are pushed into the middle of the table and they're up for grabs. 

The Pacers did work in Game 4 bruh! First of all, they shared the darn basketball! And that's the edited version! They finished with 24 assists!! Wheredeydodatat? As a result, boyz got buckets!!! The big homie, Ian Mahinmi picked up a career high 22 points and his 10 rebounds and 5 dimes were both career playoff highs. George Hill dropped off another 22 to cook the gumbo. While PG sprinkled 19 over the top of that joint for some Indiana seasoning. They shot 47 percent from the field as a team to even the series up. 

Now it's back to the Six for Game 5 and what I call gut check time. Who wants this joint the most and who will wet the bed? All the real playas stand up and all the suckas stay at home. Stop me when I start lyin'!
