Tom Izzo?

After watching More Than A Game yesterday, I have come to the conclusion (or rather, stayed at...) That Bron is one of the cockiest people alive. But as everyone will say right away, what else do you think he COULD even be? Well he definitely could be humble, but I find myself believing that his persona is a media product. All his life he has been the best. On 'another level' compared to his peers - and always scraping at more potential. And being told that he's above where he is now, the world telling him he's the greatest, dubbing him king. So I think he performs to what is dictated for him, but ill always wish our global icon was one who defied the expectations and showed a sense of humility that showed - hey, even though I'm clearly the best at what I do, there's no excuse to behave like it. 

                         That being said and done, enter game 5. 




     Series tied 2-2. For the Lakeshow, its been a case of Boston losing, and being bigger (like it always is). For Boston, the question marks have come from unlikely sources, see Paul Pierce. Ray Allen needs to stay in Jekyll mode, or Hyde. Whoever makes threes. The Truth finally got on track in game four, and Big Baby was in straight beast mode. Baby is a cocky guy, and he managed to seem credible in his post-game interview, because yes, he did in fact play THAT good. However, the key for Boston is to not have that repeat bench performance. Not that the bench should disappear, but that the starters need to outplay them and stay on the floor. Green has three proven hall-of-famers, Rondooooooo, and a very underrated center. The old hobbled three needs to realize that if they can all show up at one time, for one game, the Celtics are unbeatable. Once again, we're talking about 3 HOF-ers, they should be able to do that. On the Lake side of things, they need Bynum. Right now, he and his ailing knee are listed as questionable. The way the series has been, the Lakers really need to take game five to stave off game seven, and they need Bynum on the floor to do that. They need Fish the keep up what he's been doing, and they need Kobe to emerge from whatever mad-man mind state he's in and win. Kobe's a winner right? So he should go out and win, it's only natural. Bottom line is that the Celtics definitely dictate the rest of the series. They have the tools, they just need to put them all in the same belt for three more games. Dictate. 









Here's Chris Webber getting really excited about both teams. When Chris Webber works his magic..
WE ALL WIN
