PrintSan Antonio Spurs at Phoenix Suns, Jan 29, 2009 9:30 PM CST
Will the Suns be out for revenge for xmas day? Maybe.
As Pink would say, "Let's get this party started".
As Floyd would say, "That's this time, that time, full time, part time and all time."

Breakdown
One of These Days - Just like this brilliant song, Tony plays to a slightly different beat. He's fast. Sometimes out of rhythm. But damn satisfying. Plus, if any Spur was going to flip out and cut you into little tiny pieces, um, well, it wouldn't be Tony.
Fearless - Could there be any other song?
You say the hill's too steep to climb, climbing
You say you'd like to see me try, climbing
You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb the hill in my own way
I think the Utah game may be the turning point in Manu's season. I'll expound more later in a separate post, but let's see if Manu brings that same energy against the Suns.
Animals: Dogs, Pigs, Sheep - Tim is just like this album. People know it is great. They just don't know how great. It isn't over exposed, but it is just stunningly good and keeps on giving.
And after a while, you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile...
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
You know it's going to get harder and harder and
harder as you get older
You know he sings this to Shaq:
Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying "Keep on digging"
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find?
When you're down in the pig mine
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cryBus stop rat bag, ha ha charade you are
Hey you, Whitehouse
You fucked up old hag, ha ha charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel
You're hot stuff with a hat pin
And good fun with a hand gun
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry
ha ha charade you are
You house proud town mouse
ha ha charade you are
You're tying to keep our feelings off the street
You're nearly a real treat
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
You gotta stem the evil tide
And keep it all on the inside
Mary you're nearly a treat
Mary you're nearly a treat
But you're really a cry
And for all the rest of his victims
Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
You better watch out
There may be dogs about
I've looked over Jordan and I have seen
Things are not what they seemWhat do you get for pretending the danger's not real
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well-trodden corridors into the valley of steel
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes
Now things are really what they seem
No, this is no bad dreamThe Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green he leadeth me the silent waters
by
With bright knives he releaseth my soul
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo, he hath great power, and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones
Through quiet reflection and great dedication
Master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water
Bleating and babbling I fell on his neck with a scream
Have you heard the news?
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream
The dogs are dead!
You better stay home
And do as you're told
Get out of the road if you want to grow old
Bike - A kooky song for kooky guy
Waiting For The Worms - The FinDog knows what cometh.
Ooooh You cannot reach me now
Ooooh No matter how you try
Goodbye cruel world it's over
Walk on by
Time - This has to be what it is like sitting on Pop's bench game after game never knowing when you will be called.
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict - The man just is relentlessly different. The rudest between quarter interviews. Hardcore gruffness in his press conferences. Charming in interviews. You just know what you are going to get.
Money - Yeah, Peter, I believe you when you are saying you are freezing prices to reward the fans loyalty. Uh-huh. It doesn't have anything to do with money. You cheap bastard. Get out there and get us a big man.
Mother - Do you figure this is the song Nash listens to before he plays the Spurs in the playoffs?
Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb
Mother do you think they'll like this song
Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls
Mother should I build the wallMother should I run for president
Mother should I trust the government
Mother will they put me in the firing line
Oooh is it just a waste of timeHush now baby, baby don't you cry
Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true
Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you
Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing
She won't let you fly but she might let you sing
Mama's will keep baby cozy and warm
Oooh babe
Oooh babe
Oooh babe of course Mama's gonna help build the wall
Shine On You Crazy Diamond - I'm not sure what to make of Richardson's career. He entered the league with great promise out of Michigan State and has displayed a lot of talent.
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now, he is on his third team in just under two years.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision
I didn't like this trade for the Suns. I thought he provided them with another guy who needed shots on a team that didn't have enough shots to begin with. We will see, I guess.
Fat Old Sun - This one was too easy. Yeah, he is a fat old sun now. Plus, I got to put a cow's butt in your face.
But at one time, he was a Machine.
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine
What did you dream? It's alright we told you what to dream
You dreamed of a big star
Did you know that the Fat Old Sun didn't have a butt muscle firing last year? You never would have known it from all the ridiculous shit he was spouting. But it is true. You can read some of it at SI.
Have A Cigar - The manipulative agent ego stroking song for the man with the big ego. For a couple years, we have heard about unhappiness in the Suns locker room. Joe Johnson wasn't happy, he left. Marion was unhappy, he got shipped out. Bell was a problem, he got shipped out. There's still a problem. Hey Amare, have you ever heard the saying "if everywhere you go it stinks..."? And Gary Payton is a jackass if he thinks this dogging ass clown deserves to start the All-Star game. Did you see his line from the Celtics game? Take a look.
Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar You're gonna go far, fly high
You're never gonna die, you're gonna make it if you try;
they're gonna love you
Hey You - For the likable guy on this team. He's 36 and managing to stay healthy. Do you guys know that Grant Hill is the best defender on the Suns? By a wide margin too.
Hey you! out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old,
Can you feel me
Hey you! standing in the aisles,
With itchy feet and fading smiles,
Can you feel me
Hey you! don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight
Is There Anybody Out There? After the Diaw/Bell trade, the Suns are THIN on the bench. They have Barbosa and Barnes. Their next guy is Louis Amundson, aka, Pony Tail Boy. This is Steve Kerr looking for bench help. Back when he had a mullet.
Comfortably Numb - I like Terry Porter, but I just get the feeling he's not in a good situation with this team.
There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
Keys To The Game
- Turnovers - The Suns turn the ball over a lot. We don't force turnovers. Which will give.
- Shaq vs Tim - I expect these two to go at each other pretty hard this time around.
- Suns 3 Pt Shooting- I think they will have hard time scoring without their 3's. However, if they are making the 3's, we will have a hard time staying in the game.
Some other reading
- Bright Side of the Sun is a fantastic blog. PhoenixStan does a good job of being a homer and being critical at the same time. He has the Steve Kerr Moron Meter for starters and he rips on Amare for being such a self-centered twit a lot.

ATS, I really, really, really, REALLY love you and the work you do here.
Having said that…
Center is a push? Timmy and Shaq is a push? Are you fucking retarded? Seriously?
I love you ATS, I’m sorry about that. Keep on keeping on. You rock.
TIMMY V SHAQ IS A PUSH????
Also, Pink Floyd fucking rules. Good call on that band.
I expect a big game from Shaq tonight. He’s been really good for them lately. I wouldn’t give them a push in most situations.

Each time I say this, several weeks go by and you go and surpass yourself by a million. Best. Preview. Ever. The amazing amount of time, research and wit that you put into this is impressive. Hopefully, that’s indicative of the kind of game we’ll be bringing. I freakin’ hate these guys. Explain to me again how they win the mojo dot??!
I gave the mojo to the Suns because I expect them to come out extra motivated with something to prove.

That’s completely not the definition of mojo. If desire or motivation was the same as mojo, Arizona would have a chance this weekend. Mojo is so much more; you know this. You can be motivated, but still have shitty mojo.

That’s not YOUR definition of mojo. I have to use a broader definition since I am limited to 8 categories for stating all my opinions of the upcoming game.

Wait….. so know you’re twisting and changing the definitions of words or terms to assist in the efficiency of your opinions? Seriously? Cause I had to scroll down for like 20 minutes just to get to the comments.
FYI- screwing with the definition of mojo in itself, produces bad mojo. So I guess you win.

WOW...
great game day post ATS. Always a pleasure to read these posts as they tend to almost always add something to my dry knowledge well.
sunlight bright upon my pillow....
somebody’s gotta be Julia Dream, man!!!!! where is the Julia Dream reference?!?!?!?!? seriously though, this is an epic preview.
some arizona fan news: did anyone catch this stuff? one week some dingo cardinal fans are burning logos in the lawn of donovan mcnabb’s phoenix home and the next they are sending death threats and racial slurs via e-mail to a guy that stepped on Chase Budingers face (note: some guy was University of Houston forward Aubrey Coleman and Chase Budinger plays for the UofA hoop team).
honestly, i have not yet seen the face crunching – i have DVRed a replay of this game to check it out. however, i did see that this coleman fella issued a pretty aggressive apology. there is definitely something in the water out there.
are you telling me I need to watch my back?

Later...
I’m going to have to read this post during my lunch break….I can’t watch 15+ youtube videos during work.
Just wanted to add another song that I think it’s especially meaningful considering the Spurs’ situation.
David Robinson: Wish You Were Here
"Long ago there were these two awful towns. Sodom, named after sodomy, and Gomorrah, named after...after an even weirder move"- The Professor Brothers
So ATS, your brilliant preview reminds me of an old family anecdote. Everyone on my mom’s side of the family calls my little brother Cousin Floyd. This is because he one day idly scratched FLOYD (picture it in the appropriate lettering) into the leather on the door of my uncle’s brand new luxury sedan during a family trip. It wasn’t meant with malice — as a kid my brother would often just space out and start drumming or doodling or fidgeting, and before you knew it he had done something that had everyone yelling at him. Still happens all the time, come to think of it.
Annnnyway, in the course of a stern lecture, my uncle asked, “How would you like it if you had a brand new bike and I scratched it all up with ‘GLEN CAMPBELL’?”
There was a brief beat of utter silence while we digested this scenario before exploding into hysterical laughter that got all the rest of us kids in trouble, too.
But the point is, my little brother remains Cousin Floyd to this day.
Looking forward to the game tonight!
Wow, finally a band that doesnt suck!
Just kidding, great preview as usually ATS.
May I suggest High Hopes for the Spurs?
"It's a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies. The only variable is about what."
I haven’t heard High Hopes. Is that a Pink Floyd song? I haven’t listened to anything by them after Momentary Lapse of Reason, which I don’t particularly like.

I won't be around tonight, but that was the best preview EVER!
Thanks, ATS. Sorry I won’t be here for the game. But you guys will carry the mojo just fine without me. Don’t miss me too much, though…
Go Spurs GO!!
Leave the gun; take the Ginobili.
I’m proud of you for knowing your limits. Our mojo is already damaged enough for tonight without you crashing the party.

I didn't know Tim Floyd even played that devil music
" Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes, that way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes. "
Tim owns Shaq
Shaqs business is all down on the low block Tim can get good looks against shaq a hell of a lot easier than the bynums and gasols of this world.
You really think The Big Succulent is going to take away Timmeh’s bank shot or that easy flowing jumper at the top of the key?
" Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes, that way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes. "
Hey SiMA, I went to the 99 Cent store to pick up some crap I needed for a little aquarium project I have going on and there was something that reminded me of you. It was a heart shaped metal box with reese’s cups in them. It said " You might be a redneck if…you think going formal is a black truck". And there was a picture of a jacked up truck, and a guy with a beer belly in front of it, and of course, a pic of Jeff Foxworthy under the quote.
"Long ago there were these two awful towns. Sodom, named after sodomy, and Gomorrah, named after...after an even weirder move"- The Professor Brothers
That’s awesome. Reece’s are delicious. I don’t know what kind of demographic stuff like that truly appeals to, and even more amazingly, how junk like that even continues to have a market. I’m pretty sure that Jeff Foxworthy is the devil. He’s like a politician in that he needs people to stay in trailer parks and backwoods to have an income. A socialist government that made everyone equal would really destroy his career. On a related note, I had an ex that used to pronounce the peanut butter cups “Reece-eee’s” instead of “Reece’s,” and it used to really piss me off.
PS- My truck is grey and not jacked up. Other than the neon Confederate flag license plate, it’s pretty average.

Oh yeah, I know arowanas are kept for luck. Many restaurants in China have an arowana tank. And yes, they’re fucking expensive, to the point people will pay for surgery for their fish rather than getting another one.

Apart from the beautiful colors, a pair can be kept in a 10 gallon as they’re about 3 inches long. They have interesting breeding behavior as they spawn in caves, and they’re not particularly hard to feed or keep. Can be aggressive during spawning, females have brighter coloration than males.My dream of a 10g with dwarf puffers has been replaced by having a 10g with a pair of these guys.

Sure you can. She says you can do “whateeeeever you want.”
The real question is, will she actually understand anything you’re saying?
Remember Planet of the Apes, the original?
I never understood this movie. The guy (Charleton Heston) doesn’t have to work or worry about money. He gets food and water and shelter for free. He’s got the hottest chick I’ve ever seen (Nova) who seems to totally dig him, and she’s mute.
Why the fuck was he so unhappy?

Wayne I read your post.

We’re all Spurs fans in the end and you were really nice to me last year, so I’m not going to play cowboys and indians with you all year. I said my piece about the Manu thing and I’m done with it.
My whole point was that plenty of forums already exist to bash Manu, and we don’t need another. Besides, our negativity won’t help!
Do people seriously bash Manu in places?
