Why Frank Vogel must have hollered at Shakespeare before playin' the Hawks! "Be True"

"One thing I DON'T eat is Skittles and Lemonheads!"

Buddha once said, "The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows." Abraham Lincoln broke it down like this, "I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong." Then my homeboy, William Shakespeare, hit boyz in the dome with the classic joint when he spit, "To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." 

Well playas...ole Frank Vogel was finally true to thine own self and his team on Thursday night when he realized he needed to play to his strengths. Ole boy finally stopped foolin' around and started the rookie Myles Turner lettin' that dun loose. He popped the Atlanta Hawks for 20 points and 6 rebounds as the Pacers finished them off 111-92. 

Let's keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Golden State has everybody in the freakin' league questionin' their basketball IQ and their personnel decisions. After these duns ran through the NBA last year and won the title playin' small and fast everybody and their baby's momma's momma, Ms. Jackson, thought that they needed to play the same way, even the darn Pacers!!! 

Here's the problem pimpin', you've got to have to personnel to play like Golden State! They've got a team full of shooters that can create their own shots off of the dribble and knock that boy down when necessary. They space the floor like no other team in the history of the league and they've got a dun that is lethal from ANYWHERE on the floor. EVERYBODY can't do that! 

Now I completely understand what Frank was tryin' to do comin' into the season because he got ABSOLUTELY nothin' out of "Skittles and Lemonheads" for the past three seasons and he panicked. In his I can't believe I'm sayin' this again voice, "Man every time we pull up to scrap with a boy. Everybody jumps out of the whip to fight and my big who is 7'2" 290 lbs. refuses to get out of the ride. He consistently sits in the back seat and eats Skittles and Lemonheads and listens to Luther Vandross with his feet hangin' out of the window." 

After a while Frank got shell shocked with even thinkin' about a big. He was probably wakin' up with the sweats and shakes. So I get why he was ready to abandon the big line up. It's like the chick that keeps datin' busters so after a while she refuses to date anymore. We've all met the chick that is temporarily off of men. Then she comes to her senses at some point and realizes that all men aren't  busters. Well Frank realized that all bigs aren't "Skittles and Lemonheads." 

You're never goin' to be successful at whatever you decide to do if you don't be true to yourself bruh! Franks got crazy bigs now that can do a variety of things for him. Obviously Myles Turner can score, rebound and block shots. Ian Mahinmi can play defense and get up and down the floor, Lavoy Allen is athletic enough to play multiple positions and Jordan Hill can keep the water out of the boat when boyz need a break. Play those duns and play the heck out of them. And that's the edited version. 

You ain't Golden State playboy! You're Indiana!!! So play Indiana basketball. You weren't successful playin' smash mouth basketball last year because your big was sittin' in the freakin' car scared to death to compete! Now you've got a young thunder cat that's too young to know any better so he's ballin' out. Take advantage of his young exuberance and ride that dun 'til the wheels fall off. It's grown man business now and you're payin' him like it so boot up playboy. You've got shooters on the roof in PG13, C.J. Miles and now Monta Ellis who is even findin' his groove now. C'mon playa this is who you are! Be true to it. 

As long as boyz are givin' you 100 percent you'll be fine. Why? Because you've got the talent to win and "Skittles and Lemonheads" is no longer around to poison the locker room with a defeatist attitude. Stop me when I start lyin'!
