We’re 3-0!!!!

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Hey, worrrrllllllldddd!!!! What up, what up???

We’re 3-0 already, so hopefully everybody out there sees how hungry and talented we are. I’m really not that surprised that we’ve gotten off to a fast start and gelled so quickly. We are together because everybody in our locker room knows that we have just one goal … get that championship!!! There are no other agendas, no other goals. It’s all about that ‘ship this season.

We played like a team on Sunday, getting contributions from everybody to make up for not having some guys. VC couldn’t go with his ankle, MP was sick and ‘Shard is still out, but other guys picked up the slack.

‘Meer showed everybody that his shoulder is fine and JJ and Ryan Anderson, aka “The Black Horse,’’ were stroking the ball from the outside.

Ya’ll prolly saw me and my man, Chris Bosh, get tangled up there in the third quarter. I try not to react to those things and retaliate, but sometimes it’s hard when I have guys hanging on me and hacking me.

I had a real scare there in the first half when I had my arm pulled back and my shoulder was on fire. We did some stretches at halftime and I was able to get back in there in the second half. It’s sore already even after I put ice on it after the game, but I’ll be fine. Ya’ll know I got some big shoulders.

Well, we’re off to Detroit for a game on Tuesday. We’re gonna try to get all three on this trip and push it to 4-0 on the season. We’re trying to go out and make a statement every game this season – believe that!!!!

I’m gonna get outta here. Holla back at yo’ boy.

BREAKING BACKBOARDS

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

When people up here in Cleveland aren’t talking about LeBron (and that’s really rare) they are mentioning the backboard that I broke the other night in Game 1. I didn’t even know that it happened at first and when I heard everybody yelling, `Ohhhhhh,’ I thought my dunk must have been nasty on the replay. But then I saw whole thing had come down. After that I thought we should have just played half court for a while until they could fix the goal.

You’ve got to realize that I’ve broken a few backboards in my day. I guess I’m just too dang strong for my own good. I have four under my belt now. I’ve broken the glass, rim, everything. The first time was on one of my teammates in high school. The second time was a SLAM photo shoot. And the third time was at the YMCA in Atlanta. It’s funny to me when it happens and makes me feel all strong and swole up.

We have our minds on beating the Cavs again tonight and being greedy. We got one, but we didn’t come up her to get one win. We want ‘em both and that’s all guys have talked about. We know Cleveland will come up hungry tonight and we have to match that intensity.

We got some national love after winning the Boston series and getting Game 1 the other night, but we still have a lot to prove to people. We have to get this series and gain the respect of everyone around the league. I just think that if we play hard for 48 minutes, we should be able to do what nobody thinks we can do.

It still kind of feels like the LeBron Show up here and we’re just the background actors sometimes. When I look at TV all I see is everybody wanting to see LeBron and Kobe in The Finals. It should make us upset. We feel that we have a legitimate chance of winning a NBA championship. We have the right team, right coaching staff and players to do it. It’s not going to be easy and we have to take it. We have to believe that every night.

We’ve been under the radar all year and it’s motivated us. We’ve won one game, but that doesn’t mean anything. We want to gain everybody’s respect, but you do that by winning big games and series like this. We don’t want to take anything for granted after winning one game.

We’ll be ready tonight – believe that. We know what we gotta do.

Peace out, lil’ homies. — D-12

WE’RE GOING TO THE EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS

Monday, May 18th, 2009

Wow, we just knocked off the defending champs on their home court. How about that?????? But really, I’m not surprised because I thought we were the better team, we just had to come and play with great energy and effort and do it for the full 48.

We played really well and got a lot of contributions from so many people. Turk was really aggressive finding people and making shots. Rashard was killing ‘em posting up, MP was knocking down shots and I told J.J. this morning he’d hit some big shots and sure enough he did. And I was out there doing my thing on the boards and rebounding because that’s where my focus has to be for us to win games like this.

We pretty much led start-to-finish and this time there was no comeback in the fourth quarter by Boston. I think that shows how we have matured as a team. We knew we had to bring it hard for the full 48, and that’s what we did.

Now, it’s onto Cleveland and we know those guys will be tough. They are rested and they have been killing teams in the playoffs. Bron-Bron has been incredible in the playoffs and we’ll have to play great on D to keep him in check – if that’s possible against that kid.

Cleveland, that’s a tough place to play and we had a tough loss up there late in the season. We did beat them twice in Orlando, so we won’t go into this series lacking any confidence.

I’ve been talking for two years about bringing a championship to Orlando and some people have laughed at me. But we really think we can win it all. We’re in the East Finals, but by no means are we satisfied now. We still want to bring that ‘chip to O-town.

Anything is possible as long as we keep playing with great energy and effort like we did against Boston. We feel we can beat any team out there.

Holla at ya’ll later this week.

AN INCREDIBLE NIGHT FOR US

Friday, May 1st, 2009

First for foremost, I have to give a shout-out to all of the fans who joined me last night on the Twitter chat during the game. At one point during the game, we had more than 10,000 people following me. That’s just cra-zeee to me. But thanks yall for the support. It really helped me get through a frustrating situation.

Now, how about my teammates??? They were awesome. Those boys went out there with something to prove and they really did me proud. They dominated that game from start to finish and never gave Philly an ounce of hope. That’s how we have to play on both ends of the court if we want to keep winning in the playoffs and bring that championship back to O-town.

The Polish Hammer was dunking on their heads. J.J. was drilling those 3s. Rafer was doing his thing. And ‘Shard was a beast on the low block. Everybody pitched in and helped out and it was cool to see the whole team working together like that.

As for my suspension, everybody knows that was out of character for me. I don’t play mean or ever try to hurt anyone. That’s just not me at all. All my fans and teammates know that I’m playing to win and I’m all about having fun.

That suspension I got was fair I guess. I’m more mad at myself than anything that I let Philly’s big dudes get in my head. I have to learn from this and keep my cool in the next series.

But I’m just so happy with the way my teammates played. They were incredible.

Thank yall for tweeting with me in the game. I was hating not being out there on the court, but I actually had a fun night with my fam and my fans.

Let’s keep this winning going. We really think we can do it this year, but it’s going to take all of us staying together. Goooooo Magic!!!!
