Please can we come up with something else besides "he has enough left in the tank" or "does he have enough in the tank". I'm sick of the tank. Every single sports writer uses and every single forum junky uses it and I'm tired of seeing it.
Sorry for the rant but I read 3 articles referencing Ratliff's and Duncan's tanks and I'm going to blow my brains out. These guys aren't pickup trucks.
Good luck with policing that one. Do you have enough gas in the tank?Quote:

I like it, but I don't doubt it is overused.
left in the tank
I guess we could use an analogy from a pacemaker battery or something like that.....
"Do they have enough Lithium-iodide left in their batteries to keep going?"
hmmm.... just doesnt sound as catchy...
this thread has little air left in the balloon.
How about "Enough juice left in the bottle"? No...........
or "enough crack left in the pipe"?

McDyess may have one slice left in the toaster.

Don't count out the Lakers, Kobe may have one slut left in the closest.
Literal: Does he have enough adenosine-5'-triphosphate left in his body...
Enough tread on the tires?
Even more literal: enough cartilage left in his knees?
TD still has enough time on his parking meter?
Enough jibber left in the jabber?
+1.
Same goes for CIA Pop.
CIA Pop stole the gas from Big Diesel's tank and snuck it into Timmy's tank.Quote:

Just so long as he didn't have to siphon it out with his mouth and a hose. Ask Kobe, he knows how that tastes.Quote:

enough you suck in his for creating this thread
Garnett's knees are jelly. Allen can't get his arm hi enough to shoot a three and Pierce is definitely over the hill. Lebron only has 3 more good years left since he has been dunking since age 6. This is Shaq's last hurrah!
I would reply something witty but don't have enough left in the tank.
The Celtics have one dump left in the toilet!
Why use analogies at all?
"Can Ratliff play another season of grueling NBA basketball"
No need for tanks, cups, thimbles or what have you.
The reason why I never played professional basketball?
I was born without a tank.
I empathize with you. You see, my son was born... tankless, but thankfully (and hopefully with the help of government funded fuel-cell research) my boy by his teenage years can have just as much fuel in tank as the so called "normal" athlete. Ohm. just consider yourself a trailblazer (not of the Portland variety).Quote:

Let's tank the season... and change the name of the site to spurstank.com :lmao
I sure hope the Sporks have enough cash left in the bank.

Desmond Mason will not re-sign with the Oklahoma City Thunder for the 2009-10 season.
