Unfortunately, when you’re the best player on the planet everybody and their baby’s momma is expectin’ for you to put up 40 plus per night with darn near a triple double and to bully everybody in your path. When duns like me dub you the Philistine we’re expectin’ complete annihilation of the competition EVERY time you step onto the floor.
Well playas…that simply isn’t feasible EVERY night because he’s human. On Saturday night boyz thought that when Marcus Morris told them that he was goin’ to guard LeBron in Game 1 and he put a little extra sauce on it that he was trippin’. They thought that he was pokin’ the bear and that it was unnecessary.
When the smoke cleared on Sunday night the dun and his rotation of homeboyz held the Philistine to 15 points on 5-of-16 from the field and he was 0-for-5 from three point range with 9 assists, 7 rebounds and 7 turnovers. He finished with a -32 plus/minus ratin’ in a 108-83 loss. Give the Boston Celtics a round of applause.
But let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! The thing that drives me crazy about LeBron James is the fact that his basketball IQ is so high that he’s ALWAYS lookin’ to make the right basketball play instead of bein’ selfish enough to just score points. I know that’s not his game but it still drives me crazy sometimes.
That’s what people loved about Kobe and Mike is that they were assassins and wanted nothin’ else but to be that. They didn’t care about passin’ a boy the ball or makin’ the right play. If the team needed buckets they would get buckets.
Once LeBron saw that the jumper wasn’t fallin’ and especially when the three-ball wasn’t answerin’ the phone he needed to stop callin’. Marcus Morris nor anyone on the Celtics roster held him to 15 points bruh. LeBron James held him to 15 points.
If nothin” else the ole boy could have scored 20 points on the free throw line from gettin’ fouled takin’ boyz to the rack all night. There isn’t a player on the planet that can keep him from gettin’ to the rack and we all know that. So why didn’t he bully Boston in Game 1? That’s LeBron bruh. We’ve seen it a million times over. The dun’s goin’ to show up in Game 2 goin’ to the rack like a runaway train with no breaks and score 45 points, throw 15 assists and grab 12 rebounds.
But why not do it in Game 1? Well…I guess he’s the only person breathin’ on this planet that knows what it feels like to play an 82 game season and go to the Finals 7 straight times lookin’ for 8 straight. Bill Russell would be the only other person in the history of the world that would remotely understand because he won 8 straight Finals from 1959-’66. At that time they were playin’ 79 regular season games.
Was LeBron tryin’ to pace himself and not blow his wad in Game 1 because he knows that there are potentially 6 more of these joints to play in this series? I don’t know bruh but what I do know is that I shouldn’t be questionin’ a boy’z strategy when he obviously knows more about advancin’ in the playoffs than I do.
What I do know is that Marcus Morris nor his teammates shut down the Philistine. Now if they can keep him from gettin’ to the rack in Game 2 then I’ll believe that they’ve got the five smooth stones and the sling shot necessary to stop him. I know that Golden State has them because three is ALWAYS better than two and LeBron can’t compete with that.
If there is a flaw in his game that’s it. However, I’m not even sure if I can even call it a flaw because he knows what he’s doin’. The strategy is to win the best of 7 and advance. It’s only been one game. Stop me when I start lyin’!

1) Dun: noun – the person in question, dude, guy, etc. It’s whoever I’m talkin’ about and its non-gender specific.
2) Ole boy: noun – the person that I’m currently talkin’ about.
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!”
