Why you've gotta blame Larry Bird for the Pacers meltdown inToronto! "Groceries"

"I probably went too nice huh?" 

Confucius once said, "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." That sounded good didn't it bruh? Victor Kiam, the former owner of the New England Patriots, gave it to us like this, "Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward." That joint was encouragin' wasn't it? Then Jim Rohn, the motivational speaker, hit the nail on the head when he spit, "If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much." 

Well playas...the Indiana Pacers had no plan for gettin' out of the joint alive on Tuesday night. They walked into the fourth quarter with a 13 point lead and decided to completely wet the bed down the stretch. Talk about a boy fallin' apart! They were up 90-77 goin' into the fourth quarter and got outscored 25-9 in the final period to lose the joint 102-99! Wheredeydodatat? 

Let's keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! We're not even gonna talk about the first three quarters bruh! Why? Because at this point they're completely irrelevant! Who gives two dead flies smashed if a boy was up 13 points goin' into the fourth on the road with an opportunity to take a 3-2 lead headin' back to the crib to finish a boy off. Naw bruh, that ain't important! It's more important to analyze how an ENTIRE team can crawl up in the bed and wet in it when they've got the other team beggin' for mercy. 

They literally pulled a "Skittles and Lemonheads" on us! Right in the middle of the fight just as they had a boy on the ropes about to say uncle everybody took a smoke break, got in the car with ole "Skitttles," turned the Luther Vandross up, kicked their feet out of the window and just chilled with "Guy." 

All I wanna know is did you see Larry Bird's face durin' the course of this foolishness? That dun looked like he wanted to put his darn shorts on with his street shoes and go out there and play. At one point he looked like he was about to pull his small intestine out and put it on like a backpack. He already had his spleen in his front pocket. That dun was so disgusted he didn't know what to do with himself. 

How on earth do you blow an opportunity to finish a boy off at his crib when you've got him in a Full Nelson? It's like they ran into the bank stole all of the money, cleaned out every bit of currency in the buildin', ran outside only to find out that the dun in the getaway car was down the street hollerin' at some broad. 

What's so crazy is that I heard so many cats hollerin' that Vogel needs to be fired last night. What freakin' game were they watchin' bruh? Vogel didn't miss a single shot! That dun didn't give up a single basket! At some some the players gotta play. It ain't always on the coach! Vogel didn't climb up in the bet and take a dumb! And that's the edited version!!! 

It ain't on Vogel!!! Why? Because there's no leadership in that locker room!!! I've been tellin' you boyz that since November!! If you're gonna put this foolishness on anybody put it on the dun with his spleen in his front pocket. The front office has purposely gone out over the past 8 or 9 years and gotten nice guys. The only Alpha Male in the buildin' is Monta Ellis and he's on the back end of his career! 

He's the only cat with an attitude or some edge. Bird and Company did everything in their power to get away from duns like Ron Artest, Steven Jackson and Jamal Tinsley and now they've got a bunch of nice guys that don't no how to finish a street fight. They literally stood around and watched the ice cream melt in the fourth quarter. That ain't on Vogel because he's not buyin' the groceries. 

Don't act like you haven't heard me say this all season long because I've been writin' it since November!!! I can look at a boy and tell you whether he's gonna fight you for his sneakers. You've got to have some edge in that locker room in order to win when it counts!!! In other words, you've got to have some boyz with that dog in them and they simply don't have it!!! Stop me when I start lyin'!
