The Cleveland Cavaliers are OFFICIALLY a train wreck!! They ran over to Detroit on Tuesday night and got the brakes beaten off of them 125-114. It wasn’t that they simply loss but it was the way they loss. Not to mention the fact that Kevin Love goes down with a broken left hand. They looked a HOT mess from start to finish and now they’ve loss 11 of the last 16 games.
It was literally like watchin’ some duns downs at the YMCA in the thirty and older league after work. Naw, better yet it, was like watchin’ the cat that hold up the game in the projects just gettin’ off work with the steel toe boots, the flannel shirt with his name stitched on the front pocket with 35 keys hangin’ off of his belt talkin’ about “let me get a shot. Hold up dawg let me get that back.”
They were just runnin’ down the floor launchin’ shots, not playin’ an ounce of defense and runnin’ back!!
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! LeBron’s out there like he’s about to fight somebody because boyz have literally givin’ up. I’ve said it for years and now it’s taken all of it’s clothes off, stood up on top of the ride and now it’s completely foamin’ at the mouth. You can’t miss it.
It was the same thing in Miami after they had gone to four straight Finals and won two NBA titles. The only person in the car that has somewhere to go is LeBron. Nobody else has the sense of urgency to get back to the Finals and compete for a title but him. For the most part they’ve ALL over achieved in life and there’s no reason to work as hard anymore.
Think about it bruh, LeBron’s legacy is the only one in the whip that is dependent upon him winnin’ titles! There’s never been a player in the history of the league that has more pressure to win championships than LeBron. I wrote about it in the crazy Hot Joint entitled “Diamonds” some time ago. Not one player had to win titles and keep winnin’ them in order to be respected not one. Not even the great Michael Jordan. However, it is what it is.
Therefore, the rest of the cats in the ride with LeBron have done more in life than they’ve ever imagined and now they’re cool. Nobody’s cares if JR Smith wins another title and neither does he. He’s overachieved to the tenth power.
Remember that he and his boy Iman Shumpert were traded to Cleveland back in December of 2015 for a second round draft pick in 2019!! That draft pick is still in high school or flyin’ under the radar in college right now. JR has won an NBA championship and has now signed a 4 year deal worth $57 million last October. There’s no incentive for him to keep playin’ bruh. He’s gotten ten fold what he’s ever expected out of the NBA. Burst his tail for another championship? That makes no sense. Shumpert? He’s won a title and married Teyana Taylor. What else do you want him to do?
Then there’s Tristan Thompson who nobody in America even knew about until he hooked up with LeBron. Now he’s won a title, signed a five year deal worth $82 million and he’s datin’ a Kardashian for whatever that’s worth. He’s famous beyond his wildest dreams. He’s got nothin’ to play for ever again because nobody cares if he wins another basketball game again in his life and neither does he.
D.Wade has won three titles that he would never have sniffed had it not been for Shaq and LeBron. Don’t get it twisted, comin’ out of Marquette there was ABSOLUTELY no expectations on him to win anything. He was a great player but there was no pressure on him to win. He’s made more money than he’s ever imagined he would and he’s won three championships. He’s gettin’ old and there’s really nothin’ else to do but get money and he can do that without gettin’ his blood pressure up.
Derrick Rose was done playin’ basketball years ago and the rest of those duns never had anywhere to go in the first place. They’re ridin’ in the back seat with their heads hangin’ out of the window enjoyin’ the breeze. So again, the ONLY cat in the ride with somewhere to go is LeBron. Unfortunately, he was the dun that drove around the hood and picked everybody up, includin’ deer in the headlights Tyronn Lue.
So he can’t get mad that he’s now on a National Lampoons Vacation with a bunch of cats that don’t care because it’s all his fault. Rule No.1 in life! You can’t choose your friends to go with you on the ride to success. Not everybody’s interested in winnin’ or better yet, winnin’ has a different meanin’ for different people. Stop me when I start lyin’!
Playas Thesaurus:
1) Dun: noun – the person in question, dude, guy, etc. It’s whoever I’m talkin’ about and its non-gender specific.
The G is excluded from the endings of all words because the G is near and dear to my heart because I’m from “The G” which is Gary, Indiana. So I only use the G when I’m talkin’ about “The G!”
