Hidden Targets (Why Calipari is suddenly lookin' like a dull Chrysler 300)

In my Old Otis voice, "What cha say der boi!"

When I pulled up at the car wash to get the whip cleaned up for the weekend these three cats were arguin’ about talent. John Wooden said, “Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.” This cat they kept callin’ Michael Jordan stood up with a huge cigar in his mouth and said, “Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.” Then Arthur Schopemhauer, the 18^th century German philosopher, leaned back in his seat, crossed his legs and like a real G said, “Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.”

Well playas…now that we’re down to the Elite Eight talent has hit the targets that no one else could hit but the geniuses are just now gettin’ dressed! I know that everybody and their momma’s momma has picked Kentucky to win this joint and most cats are callin’ the tournament the Kentucky Invitational. However, talent alone has taken them as far as they can go! Calipari has to start earnin’ his pay check today homeboy!

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! I’ve been tellin’ boyz since the joint started that Kentucky was the MOST talented team at the rodeo. However, this isn’t the NBA Playoffs playa! In the NBA the MOST talented/best team ALWAYS wins the championship. Why? Because you’ve got to beat a boy 4 times playin’ the best of 7 series all the way out to win it all. In the NCAA Tournament all you gotta do is win one game at a time. So you don’t have to be the best team! You just have to be the best team for 2 hours pimpin’!

I’ve also been tellin’ these boyz in the barber shop that coachin’ and guard play wins the NCAA Tournament! Yesterday I helped the homies Nick Bozak and Evan Altman host Kent Sterling’s Show on CBS Sports Radio 1430AM and we had former Duke Guard, Chris Duhon, on the show. I asked him if I was crazy for tellin’ boyz that and he said that I was spot on. I knew it all along playa, I just wanted him to say it on the radio so that these suckas out here would hear it because when I say it doesn’t hold water because I didn’t play basketball or win a national championship but I know what the hell I’m talkin’ about.

Kentucky doesn’t have either! They’re the best team in the joint defensively but they are mediocre offensively with average guard play and Calipari is probably the worse ‘coach’ from a strategic stand point left standin’! He can recruit his butt off! And that’s the edited version. So, they’ve been bullyin’ boyz up to this point, now he’s gotta coach! Look whose left playa! Duns like Rick Pitino, Tom Izzo, Mike Krzyzewski, Mark Few, Bo Ryan and Mike Brey have literally gotten to this point with half of the talent Kentucky has bruh!

It’s March playboy and Coach K, Izzo and Pitino literally transform this time of year. He’s not beatin’ either of them.

Don’t think for one minute that boyz are gonna allow Kentucky to stand under the freakin’ basket and swat balls all night like they’ve been doin’ all year! Like I keep tellin’ boyz, a team that moves the basketball that can shoot has a chance to beat them. Duns like Notre Dame, Arizona, Wisconsin and Duke all share the ball and they have bigs that can shoot the rock.

So guess what pimpin’? The Kentucky bigs are gonna have to come out from underneath the basket. The floor will be spread and now they’re vulnerable. They aren’t playin’ basketball in the freakin’ SEC and there is only one coach in the entire conference and that’s Billy Donovan and he has no talent right now. So Calipari looks like he can coach until some REAL coaches show up. So guess what playa? They’re ALL fully dressed and ret-ta-go!

Let me put it where the goats can get it playa. A cat pushin’ a Chrysler 300 is always tellin’ boyz that it looks like a Phantom until a Phantom pulls up. Well, Calipari looks like he can coach until a real coach pulls up. Now does he have the talent to beat everybody left in the field? Sure he does! But again, talent won’t win this thing bruh! Coachin’ and guard play will. He brings neither to the table.

I say he struggles against Notre Dame but beats them. But if ND can get hot from outside Kentucky goes down. If they get past ND Arizona creates all types of match-up problems for them and that’s who I’ve picked to beat them when the joint started. If they’re fortunate enough to get past them, Coach K will coach circles around that dun. Why because geniuses can hit targets that no one else can see!

So one of those three are gonna get them because coachin’ and guard wins the Ship not cats showin’ up with the ability to bully a boy! Stop me when I start lyin’!

Playas Thesaurus:   1) Whip: noun – luxury vehicles only! Some cats try to call their car a whip but if it’s a regular joint it’s just a car bruh!
2) Pimpin’: noun – the person that I’m passionately tryin’ to get my point across to.
3) Ret-ta-go: verb phrase – country hood for “Ready to go!”
4) Let me put it where the goats can get it.: verb phrase - To make it plain and simple for you. To lay it out on the ground so that it’s easy to get to. Goats eat off of the ground so I’m goin’ to literally spoon feed you at this point.
Holla At Ya Boy!
