I don't know if you can duplicate the record that we had last year, but I think we're already a better team because of our experience. Our young players will make our bench better. The ones that were here already know what they have to do. The ones that we brought in that new are pretty skilled players. |
I don't know. I've been here 12 years and we haven't been there in that time. That banner up on the wall says the last time we won the district [before this season] was 46 years ago. Have we advanced to the region tournament since then? I have no idea. It's probably been 46 years since we did that, too. |
I don't recall specifically what happened. We just got tangled up. I was so caught up in the moment and trying to win the game when it happened. ... There was a lot of commotion and when I saw their coach out on the court, I walked over to our bench so I wouldn't get caught up in the middle of anything. |
I don't see it as a big deal at all, ... I look at it as a new challenge. I won two Gold Gloves and an MVP at shortstop. I thought I achieved just about everything personally at shortstop. Now it's time to win. I've always thought of myself as a team player. Playing third base is the ultimate team move. |
I don't think it bodes well for the Liberal Party . . . that nobody wants to step up to the plate. And now, with almost all of what I would describe as tier-one Liberal leadership candidates taking themselves out of the running, they are going to be left, really, with a void in this leadership campaign. |
I don't think it will take long. We understand what the game plan is every game going out. The transition more than anything will probably be defensively, because everybody played different defensive schemes, and our scheme is probably one of the toughest schemes in the NBA because we work a lot harder. |
I don't think there are any pure Africans of the African Americans, but the African part of our history was pretty much taken away from us during slavery, so the 60s gave us a chance, because of the civil rights movement, to kind of re-examine and make some sort of formal connection to our African-ness. |
I don't think they [the White House] can use the standard procedure of delay or the standard procedure of attacking their attackers. I think they have to deal with this because this is probably the first charge in the campaign finance deal that the American people will want, if not demand, an answer to. |
I don't think they needed an excuse to sit on their hands, and clearly they're going to do that. They may not even move until [their] August [meeting] at the earliest. They have all the flexibility they need, given the weakness of the labor market, and this [productivity report] gives them even more so. |
I don't think you'll ever see from here on out 18 years with one franchise. We've seen a lot of players decide to jump ship to get the one thing that they think their legacy is built on and that's a ring. I think what's more special than a ring is loyalty. Indiana and Reggie were a match made in heaven. |
I don't want to boast but I've put a lot of work into that and I feel it's deserved. Now that it's translating into wins, it feels a lot better. I guess it's alright when you read, 'Jones scored 24 in a loss,' but now we have a three-game win streak going - it's totally different. It feels a lot better. |
I feel a lot better running on this field (at the U.) everyday than I did in Arizona on their turf. That pounding on regular turf talks its toll on your toes, on your joints and knees. We appreciate this right here. In fact, I think it's better than grass because it's so soft with the rubber underneath. |
I feel it's super hypocritical for a drug to be legal for you to buy, but not for an athlete to buy. You have to look at the result and ask would [drugs] help guys not to injure themselves and beat themselves up as bad so that they would have a more positive, enjoyable life at the end of their lifetime. |
I feel powerless to not be able to defend my world title, ... I'm frustrated because it's one thing to miss the world's if you're not in shape or strong enough, but it's another because of injury. These things happen in cycling and unfortunately I've become accustomed (to being sidelined with injuries). |
I felt all right but not great. My arm was a little tired coming into this. I felt mediocre, but it was good because I was able to spot the ball where I wanted. I threw it where I wanted and made them swing at my pitch. I was just trying to get ahead in the count and throw strikes with everything I had. |
