We feel we can move the football on them. We have good leadership in that offensive line. We just need to play our defense, be alert, do our techniques well and swarm the ball. We have to tackle well in the open field. We were much improved from Game 1 to Game 2 in that respect. |
We haven't been doing that well against the West this year. It was nice after beating Atlanta to come to the Mile High City and run them out of their gym. |
We just self destructed with turnovers and those illegal procedures, ... All those things would take us out of our game plan. Our pass offense was not as sharp as it had been tonight. |
We lost all three meetings with them, |
We talked about it today as far as neutralizing their bench. We've got to go out there - me, Mo, Joe, Dan and Toni - and maintain the intensity. |
We tried to push the tempo a little bit more in the third and T.J. did a great job pushing the ball up the court. I knew if I could get open with his penetration, (Portland) would collapse and he would kick out to me. Then it's just up to me to hit the shots and that's what I did. |

We wore 'em down. I think our depth bothered them. |
We're not stopping here, ... We're intent on driving positive results in the U.S. and Europe and implementing new initiatives in Asia and Latin America. I am confident of another good year in 2004. |
We're starting to come around as a team, we're really playing unselfish basketball. It's becoming a recurring story just about every game, we come in and play well together. |
We've got a lot of guys who are pretty business-oriented and like to dress up, |
When he finished last season, he came on like gangbusters once we got to know him and once he got the feel of varsity football, ... He was showing us all summer what we've got, offensively and defensively, so there's no surprise to us. Josh is just born with talent and skill, but to his credit, he works extremely hard to maximize it. |

When I was sitting in Spain, you would read about it (triple-double) but you never think it will happen to you. When you come from where I've come from, you just have to enjoy it. |
Whoever plays Lynden is uniquely challenged, ... It's a different ballgame. The main challenge is that it's a different kind of a game plan, a once-in-the-season test. I think we will respond well and have a bend-but-don't-break style. |
