The NBA Playoffs are officially on the way!!! Boyz didn’t waste any time sticking their fingers in the big homie’s plate. No.3 Philly got popped by No.6 Brooklyn 111-102 and No.2 Toronto got carjacked by No.7 Orlando. The just got funky after only one game. Sure, it’s a 7-game series but it just got real in the field like Puff Daddy used to say.
Makes no sense to put yourself in a position to have home court advantage all season only to give it away walking out of the door. That’s like spending all day getting ready for the prom and as soon as your date comes to pick you fall in the mud walking out of the front door.
I’m not saying that you can’t go to the prom. I’m just saying that it’s going to take a lot more effort to make it an enjoyable experience.
Brooklyn caught Philly sleepin’ at the wheel at the light as D’Angelo Russell hit them up for 26 points and Caris Levert popped them for a smooth 23. They were efficient shooting the ball all over the floor. They were 43 percent from the field, 42 percent from behind the arc and connected on 92 percent of their free throws. NUTS!!!
Meanwhile as the 76ers couldn’t seem to get right pulling cell phones out on the bench as Amir Johnson (who was inactive) showed Joel Emdiid stuff on his phone got caught on TV. This only added to the distraction that they surely don’t need right now. They’re down a game to the Nets and boyz are asking about a dun that didn’t even play fooling around on his phone? Are you kidding me?
Then Toronto gets knocked off by Orlando 104-101 who’s as hungry as ever right now. Still no excuse for the Raptors to face plant like that. It’s becoming their M.O. (Modus Operandi) to completely wet the bed in the playoffs bruh. Boyz have literally come to expect this behavior out of them.
Uhhh, will somebody put out an Amber Alert for Kyle Lowry please!!! That dun played an entire playoff game without scoring a single point!! Wheredeydodatat? Really bruh? Thirty-four minutes and zero points? The dun even missed the only two free throws he attempted.
Give DJ Augustine props for bustin’ his butt and droppin’ 26 on them on his way to Big Momma’s house. I can’t wait until the second day of the NBA Playoffs on Sunday! Stop me when I start lyin’!
