The Sha-Nay Nay (Why the Pacers' bench & the Heat made Frank Vogel look like a genius)

"Don't question me bruh! I told you I got this!"

As I was standing out in front the of the car wash in the hood waiting on a boy to hand dry my whip and put some smell good on the seats; the cats doing the drying started arguing about strategy. Sun Tzu, the ancient Chinese military general, said, “All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.” Winston Churchill looked up from the back seat and shouted, “However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.” Then Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, posted up in my front seat and turned the music down with, “The biggest risk is not taking any risk… In a world that’s changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.”

Well ole Frank Vogel took a risk on Wednesday night by resting all five of his starters at Milwaukee and came out of the joint looking like a genius! Not only did his reserves battle and win a great game 104-102 but the Philistine and Co. fell in Memphis too. So as a result of last night’s shenanigans the Pacers are now a half game up on Miami in the East!

Boyz around this piece were ready to crucify Vogel for sitting his starters but like I’ve said all season long it’s a marathon not a sprint. On some real talk, ole boy needs to go ahead and put a thank you card in the mail to both Memphis and Miami for making him look like Albert Einstein this morning rockin' the Pythagorean Theory of basketball! Because ole Frank understood all of the angles. And oh yeah, take that bench to dinner tonight too!

Even though the Bucks were the worse team in the league the Pacers proved that they’ve got depth and can go at least 9 deep on a boy. When they’re playing with confidence they are a very talented group. They caught the Bucks thinking that they had a shot to get one without the starters playing even though they only had 8 duns available due to injuries. You could see it in their faces at the tip, “We got this! How dare they sit boyz against us like we ain’t professional athletes too?”

While they were sittin’ in the crib woofin’ about being disrespected, Luis Scola kicked in the front door and unloaded 24 points, 9 rebounds and threw 3 dimes through the living room before they knew what hit them. Evan Turner came through the kitchen window with 23, 7 and 9 and Chris Copeland caught boyz running out of the back door as he hit them with 4 of 5 from behind the arc and finished with 18.

Now the battle on South Beach Friday means everything bruh! Winner take all in the East, kinda! Boyz can’t act like it’s no big deal so don’t even try to run game like it’s just another date with a bad chick. Naw playboy, it’s like going out with Beyonce’! An extremely bad, extremely rich chick! A chick that’s got just as much to lose as you do! And probably more!

Because I don’t care how rich and famous you are playa. You ain’t runnin’ into too many women that are cosmetic 10’s with $300M that wanna hang out with you. This ain’t no usual groupie type situation. This is some serious business on Friday night in South Beach pimpin’! The question is, "Are you ready to get it in?"

I don’t wanna hear from Frank or the Pacers tomorrow at about 10pm that we were worn down. Why? Because they haven’t done anything since Sunday when the Hawks carjacked them and took all of their jewelry off of them. They’ve had time to recoup and Hibbert’s had time to change his diaper and get another case of juice boxes for the road trip. So here we go.

Win or lose, play the freakin’ game bruh! Go down there and play like you’re trying to fulfill a goal that was set in training camp, capture the No.1 seed in the East. That means not turning the rock over 18 times and making Roy get out of the freakin’ car when they pull up to the club. Because everybody’s gotta do the Sha-Nay Nay to win down there! As a matter of fact, they gotta do the Wobble, the Electric slide, the Cupid Shuffle, the Butt, the Stanky Leg, the Prep, the Freak, the Monster Spank and the Earl Flynn in order to beat the Heat at the crib! And that may not even be enough if that Philistine is in rare form. Stop me when I start lyin’!

P.S: Only the REAL O.G.'s know what the Earl Flynn is playboy! Always keep in mind that I'm from Any Hood, USA too!

Holla At Ya Boy!
