"Pure Laziness"
Source: Reddit's margari7a
I used to keep a golf club next my favorite spot on the couch in one of my smaller apartments just for the purpose of changing the station, or adjusting the volume, on my TV or home stereo. This reminded me of mine because mine was actually a double-whammy of LAZY: I had no idea whether my TV remote didn't work because it needed new batteries, or because it was flat-out broken. I was too lazy to buy new batteries or a new universal remote.. all of this in addition to being too lazy to get up and walk 4 feet.

Sadly, Tony is 7th & Manu is 10th among West backcourt voting. Not sure what they're watching, but oh well...

Spurs Update
28-11, 1st in the Southwest Division, 3rd in the West - at nearly the halfway point.
Here's the stretch of games since my last Spurs Update:

Not too shabby, but not nearly up to potential. We ran off a solid 7-straight, scoring an average of almost 112 a game. Then we laid an egg in the big apple during our quest for revenge on the Knicks loss from early in the season. But it's been clear to me that something is wrong with Tony Parker the last several games. I'm not sure whether he's just not seeing the open man, or whether guys just aren't getting open, but he's averaging 5 assists per game these last 5 games. More importantly his assist-to-turnover ratio the last three games is 14:15. (Source & math) Ouch! Anyone know if he has a new girlfriend or something? Perhaps he lost a girlfriend?
Granted he's shooting the ball well (53.3%, last 5 games), and scored 30 last night in an OT loss in Memphis. He has also been hot from three-range, which is not really his niche (20 of 46 for 43.5% on the season - by far his best). He even went 3 for 3 and nailed the shot at the buzzer last night to send the game into OT:
Nevertheless it's not all on Tony, or any particular player. I have been posting on the Spurs' Facebook page for several games now that Pop has got to recognize when Tony is struggling to keep the offense running fluently. Patty Mills has got to get in the game!! He gives us such a tremendous spark, but we don't get that when he's merely waving his towel on the bench. Even Gary Neal's & a few other bench players' minutes are down, and I'm not sure why Pop isn't going a little deeper these days. Tony and Tim both played 40-ish minutes last night. Yes it was OT, but that's way more than their average minutes per game, and way more than necessary when you have a Patty Mills on the bench (and a DeJuan Blair getting basically NO playing time).
C'Mon guys - it's time to ratchet it up!
