PtR - All-time great Quotes

by SgtinManusArmy on Jun 23, 2008 10:47 PM CDT Comment 22 comments

So I realized the other day, we've talked about a database for vintage PtR quotes for some time and haven't acted on it. There have been some gems over the years, and there needs to be somewhere to store all of this brilliance. And I'm not talking about how funny it was that time you told the other guy that he had a little weiner; I'm talking about classic statements that carry through a lifetime uttered by PtRers or those affiliated. The quotes that you find yourself stealing and wowing people with the day after games. Many times, the quotes taken and posted on avitars. The insults, the analogies, the comparisons, the descriptions that made us who we are and formed us as the best NBA blog going. It's time to share our wisdom, while at the same time providing a quick and easy access for laughs and cheers.

Post away those that you remember. And if it gets to be as good a resource as dreamed, don't forget to 'rec' the post so that it's easier to hang onto. CMoney and I will be doing exhaustive research over the next week or so (slogging through old posts and game threads) to identify some, but add on all that you know of that impacted you.

And it must be a gem. Post a squeaker and it'll follow you for ages. We're not talking about "Robert Horry" level quotes that are disputable as HOF quotes. We're talking the "Timmys" here, people.

Let’s get this party started-

"Pounding the Rock, a great blog... for reasons which are shrouded in mystery."

Dunno who said that. I’m having trouble pulling up any comments from last year or earlier this year. Also, in going back through some postings, I’ve noticed that I apparently post while drunk quite a bit… particularly when the Spurs are losing. My spelling and grammar are atrocious.

chaos... panic... pandemonium... my work here is done.

the one thing i have repeated most.....

is from a game recap when the spurs beat minne on the road. the game was won on a last second shot from manu at the end of a night he had something like 40 points. the recap included a picture of star trek captian JL Picard with a shit eating grin on his face. the caption was “well….aint THAT some shit.”

its not a quote per se, but its the first thing that comes to my mind on this topic. i will try to dig up and shoot out some more as a can remember them.

CMoney’s “superman wears Manu pajamas to bed” is another classic.

damn, you beat me to it

I’ve been thinking… Wouldn’t it be great to have Latin D’s Avatar (the super G) in black & white on the front of a t-shirt with CMoney’s quote on the back? Can we do that without getting busted by the Zazzle police?

I am happy. I am proud. - Manu Ginobili

My wife wandered through at the last commercial break that had Reggie Miller in it and said, "Damn, that’s a handsome man."

Brent Barry’s response after his surprise performance and the rest of his team’s performance in Game 4 of the 2008 WCF:

“It’s like putting whipped cream on shit…”

I never met anybody who said when they were a kid, "I wanna grow up and be a critic." - Richard Pryor

my signature by Kalone is pretty badass. Fuck Sasha.

I’d look some of mine up but they are all mostly dick jokes and don’t need to be repeated.

i hope vujacic gets hit by a truck hauling stray cats that claw his eyes out before using his skull as a brood den.--kalone

Team Defense

The one that jumps to mind first, was a picture during last year’s Spurs-Finals against the Cavs where four spurs were closely caked around Lebron James driving into the lane. That’s all you could see was Lebron and four Spurs all intensely focused on him. The caption was something like: Moments later, Popovich called a timeout to yell at the fifth Spur for playing poor help defense.

Also the article that got me reading this blog intently was the humble assesment of Jame’s White’s debut as a Spur. Don’t remember any quotes but the article was pure gold. Hilarious.

Yes! That photo caption about help D was priceless! The James White article was da bomb, too!

C Word caption

Jerry Sloan caption from 2007 WCF. Lots of C word in that. Manu was tearing the Jazz up and Sloan had had enough. I laughed for days. Sometimes i’d be in a meeting, my mind wandering, and that caption would float to the top of my head and i’d get the church-giggles.

who are you who can summon fire without flint or tinder? there are some who call me ... tim.

Forgive my own (probably misplaced) tooting of my own horn, but to this day, I’m still fairly proud of that big-ass list of comic book counterparts I compiled at 1 AM the morning of G1 of the PHX series.

Xavier: Where are you taking me?
Sinister: To the one true enemy of the great Charles Xavier. Stairs.

Northstar: Suh..Sinister...?
Sinister: Careful, son...That's *Mister* Sinister to you!

“Powell: Balls Cannot Make Declarative Statements

Aaronstampler: I don’t know about your balls, but mine can. Usually they either ask to be washed or complain about wanting to be touched by someone else with softer hands. I tried using moisturizer but that didn’t fool them at all. “Hey fucktard, you think we’re stupid or something?”

There is no greater shame than being caught red handed trying to pull a fast one on your own balls. I have to listen to my i-pod 24-7 just to drown out their derisive laughter and merciless taunts. I don’t know how many more times I can listen to “Karma Chameleon” without stabbing myself. “

“I love you, Tony. I love your bald head, I love your Frenchiness, I love your big head, I love your wife, I love your low-percentage long jumpers, I love your wife, and I love the fact that you’re a Spur.”
