Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

"We never, ever do nothing nice & easy"

After a short alcoholic and cigar induced hiatus, I am ready to rejoin the brethren in our search of those ever elusive W's.  (No, George I'm not asking you to come back... trust me).

I thought I'd give us all a little bit of inspiration... because we're dealing with a lot of shit.  And thank you very much for that, Romes.

 

Star-divide

Now, I'm not asking for miracles, acrobatic spinning or even moonlit transformations.  What I am asking for is a bit more effort, a lot more ganas de jugar, but mostly I'm just looking for some motherfucking heart stopping DESIRE. 

It's time to work for the Man, Spurs.  And by the Man, I don't mean Peter Holt.  I mean THE MAN... GOML (bring back the beard you crazy ass mofo)... yeah... that MAN.  And I'm also talking about the PtR (wo)man.  Those of us that live and die with our team.  Those of us that live vicariously thru those silver and black clad gods on the pine floor. 

What I'm saying is you gotta go all Tina Turner on the opponents asses.  Girlfriend had to sing and dance and deal with that delusional, drugged up, deranged lunatic called Ike.  So at least you don't have that, unlike another NBA team I could mention (insert Phil Jackson joke here).  You could go full force Lamborghini Countach 0 - 60 in under 5 seconds ala the 1970's version of Ms. Turner.

  

Or you could go the more sedate steady and controlled version of the 70 year old still classic version of Ms. Turner.  That's right... 70 fucking years old.  Still got it, still shaking it and still singing the hell out of it every damn night.  Kinda like bringing the defensive effort for 48 minutes... don't you think?

 

 But I think I prefer y'all (look at that... a Texas word, LD) to emulate the still hungry, had a taste of success, but I know I have to bring my best every night Tina Turner.  She knew she had a job to do and she did it with passion and precision.  But she still had the remembrance of the hungry days to keep things fresh and rough.  And each and every fucking time... she brought it.  You gotta embrace the workman like can do effort and attitude.   

And thank the good lord up above that you ain't gotta do it in 4 inch heels.

So, Man up Spurs and channel your inner Tina!

Tell it, grrrl!

Great words…love me some Tina! If I knew how, I’d “twiddle” this to some Spurs…

I love this post! I’ll “twiddle” the link in hopes a Spurs friend sees it – don’t want to offend by sending it directly. Right now, if any Spurs player comes close to Tina, it would be Manu.

‘cause he’s “simply the best” :)

A couple of the young Argentines I met before the game in Sacramento had already met “proud Mary” that night.

I don’t check PtR for a couple of days, and come back to this. Way to go, girl! Let’s pour it on versus the Lakers.

The title alone drew me in. Love the Tina & Ike reference. Especially since “Simply the Best” will be played for today’s Super Bowl winner.

You gotta bring ass to get ass.

Thanks a lot, Peyton. I feel almost as much gratitude for you as for RJ.

bell, I think you might have nailed the answer to all our struggles: The Spurs have to be forced to wear sneakers with four-inch heels. That would give us a front court of seven footers. Besides, Rodman showed how heels translate to URA and playing with passion. Let’s call them Nike Heels ©. With all our former, ongoing and recurrent foot injuries, we might just be the best team to endorse the product.

You’re right. DeJuan’s oily forehead is indeed a cause for concern.

Now we need a chop page for disturbing images like this and transgo’s stellar work, that are not necessarily related to BLAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIRRRRR!

I agree. Chops in previews are also good. Put them in.

That’s the first thing I thought after seeing the flagile pics from the Lakers thread earlier and just now getting to this post.

Hilarious.
