I thought we had the game won but we went on a complete dry spell. I felt to put (star forward Carmelo Anthony ) back in the game at the end would of been irresponsible of me. My team is hungry for the playoffs, maybe we need a fresh challenge. |
I thought we played pretty good ball for the young guys that we had last year and I think our chances are good and that we can go out there and compete. A lot of people are counting us out but when we won it for three years they counted us out. |
I thought we started the game really strong and were very focused, which is a credit to our guys playing at 10:30 in the morning. I thought Australia made a great adjustment in the second half by going to a smaller lineup which gave us trouble. |
I told him that I don't think I'm ready, but the big thing he and coach Conley and Sonny all said was, without me attending and playing, that I won't know where I stand. If anything, it'll be a learning experience to see what I have to work on. |
I told the young leaders that the 21st Century is theirs and they should not blow it. Try to reject war and give peace a chance. Question the powers that be and find out why they make the dubious decisions they do that send young people to war. |
I told them at halftime they've only got 16 minutes left in their season. We got off to a really slow start, but I thought we played good on defense. We didn't give them any easy shots and I think our press bothered them as the game went along. |
I told them this would be a 40-minute battle from start to finish, and if you let frustration creep in at all, you guys are going to lose the game. This is going to be an ugly game where we may not shoot well, but we have to defend and rebound. |
I tried a good-luck charm last year. I don't know if anybody knows how long a walk that is . . . that's a heck of a walk from Madison Square Garden. I'm not going to bring any good-luck charms with me. I'm just going to bring positive thinking. |
I used to dodge them pretty good. I saw something in the kid shortstop. I wanted to talk to his coach first. I just had a suggestion I wanted to make to him. I'm not going to tell him how to play or anything like that ... but I never got there. |
I want Omega Man to be the equivalent of any Caucasian superhero, like a Superman, Batman, a noble righteous character, ... That's what we're trying to do with Omega Man -- give you a symbol that is African-American but is 100 percent positive. |
I want to play with [shortstop Miguel] Tejada for the next four years, ... I'd like to stay in Baltimore, but I know this is a business, too. There are lots of teams that would be interested. But I'm going to give the first chance to Baltimore. |
I was happier winning my first round than winning a tournament, just because it's a satisfaction because you've put so much work into it, ... You realize how quickly it could be gone. That's why you enjoy each match because it can happen again. |
I was happy to do it, and it worked out to where it was fair to both sides. I'm glad it's over so I can concentrate on football. I'm excited about our new coaches, and I'm fired up to start playing again and helping this team make the playoffs. |
I was looking for people with a measured approach and even-tempered personalities. They are both humble about their talents, which span the breadth of media, and have real passion for new media solutions, which should be great for new business. |
I was really honored to tie Scott's record last year. It would be great for sure to be the first to win the sixth. Honda has really stepped up with the new CBR600RR and I have the best team in racing so I have a lot of things going in my favor. |
