You can't be a winner every time. This hill isn't suited to me because it's so flat, and I had trouble with the light. So my main goal after I was sixth in the first run was to defend that position and I'm pretty satisfied that I did that. I wanted to make sure to catch 30 or 40 points. |
You don't get another chance to make a first impression, everybody knows that, ... That is important. But at the same time, the process for me is going to be one where on a day-to-day basis, I'm going to have to show a willingness to work hard. I'm going to have to be here for the team. |
You have more business leaders willing to enter into that conversation, mostly for self-serving reasons, quite frankly. This is a huge burden on their bottom line. It has become pretty clear that this system is not sustainable, and business leaders are finally coming to this conclusion. |
You have to win 16 games, which is four rounds, then you have to play another tournament with the best of the west against the best of the east. They say it's one of the hardest trophies to win. You have to play the best teams at the end of the year, and everyone is tired and worn down. |
You knew it was going to be a root canal that whole second half. You knew they were going to keep coming at you. Sometimes with a big lead, it's tougher. If you're up seven or eight, they might be more conservative. We got worn down by their waves, but at the end we were still standing. |
You know it's coming. You know they're going to go on a run You watch enough of their games and you know it's going to happen. I've watched six of their games and I knew what was coming. You just hope you have the plays in your repertoire to withstand it. We didn't. It got away from us. |
You make mistakes in sport and that was a mistake. There were opportunities all over the place and we didn't take them. We saved a poor performance for today and we have to live with that. I want to see whether the mistakes were skill mistakes, decision-making mistakes or poor coaching. |
You say, 'We want to run a test at the end of 1998—will you be ready?' That shakes out a lot. If they can commit to testing, then you have a pretty good feeling that they're on target. And you also put them on notice that if they can't test with you, then you may go with someone else. |
You see the size difference in the teams. For the better part of two days in practice, we focused trying to limit them to one shot - trying to keep the ball off the blocks because they're powerful and have so much talent. We fronted the post and boxed out. We were chasing down rebounds. |
You will have fewer people, but our hotel only has 20 rooms; we were booked weeks in advance. You have to spread it out for economic reasons and to support and build the community. As it is, we have a lot of wasted effort and dollars that can't be spent because the capacity isn't there. |
You're 11th, but a lot of those guys gotta stop, so we're really more like fifth... I may have over-adjusted on that last stop, so I'll take the blame, but the reason you may be loose is because your right rear quarter panel is hanging almost straight out after the 20 (Stewart) hit you. |
Your child is safest in a new child safety seat. A new seat will have a registration form that, when completed and returned to the manufacturer, will be used to notify the owner if there is a potential recall or defect in the future. New seats also have clearly labeled expiration dates. |
