I think my mom (Kathy Nguyen) enjoyed it more than I did. It felt so good to know I gave something for my mom and grandmother to be proud of, because growing up I gave them such a hard time. It was great to do something to make them happy, for them to tell their friends. Anything I can do to put a smile on mom's face, I love to do. |
I think my swing is there. I hold on with two hands. I'm not having to let go because I'm restricted from getting out there. My hitting will come. The major focus of this black cloud that's sitting over this locker is that throwing arm. If it starts hurting bad enough where it's affecting my swing, we're going to have another talk. |
I think people weren't expecting much of us at the beginning of the year, but we've shown how much we've wanted it and we've beaten the odds. We're improving every game and becoming more solid as a team offensively and defensively. We play together well. Nobody tries to run the show. Everybody works together to try to win the game. |
I think some of our players have the jitters out in the field. It's the first year of varsity for several of them and some of our veterans are showing a little rust coming out of basketball. We were lucky that the seven errors didn't really hurt us that much. Normally, when you have that many mistakes you're going to lose the game. |
I think Stamps.com is well positioned versus their competitors, ... They approached this from the point of view that hardware is a bad thing when it comes to postage, and I think this is the correct assessment. The small business buyer and the consumer do not want to have to manage a postage meter, even if it is a dongle on the PC. |
I think that the criterion ought to be: Who's the best person available for the job? And many of us have called for a nominee who comes from a background other than one of being a jurist. And now we have a person who is like that. ... You've got to go to America to find lawyers, and Dallas is as good a place as any to find lawyers. |
I think that the team had a hard time generating some of its own energy. I give DePaul credit and they set the tone early in the game. Not to take away from what DePaul did, I think they actually took away our energy. I think that our inability to stop them defensively took away from our energy and our ability to score offensively. |
I think that they've just got some talent going to Lenoir-Rhyne from this area. And to be coming from South Central really means a lot to us. I think that with the young coaches teaching these guys and what they're going to teach, you're going to see some more guys walk through these doors and sign and do some things in the future. |
I think the big fight down the line for Alex is against Scott Harrison, ... That's the one I'd like to see happen when Scott moves up from featherweight. There's not a lot of love lost between the two guys and I think it would be a tremendous fight for Scottish boxing and a national TV audience. It's a fight I think Alex would win. |
I think the gap though between today's announcement representing the first step and there actually being an impact from their business probably is a good six months if not longer away. Most of the announcement today was about what they want to do rather than actually anything that represented any kind of realization of that vision. |
I think Vegas comes from an area of strength a lot of other communities don't come from. There is a lot of money in Vegas -- a ton of cash there that other cities don't have that Goodman has access to. Also, a lot of time when teams get ready to move they'll court three or four cities. Some seriously and some for negotiation value. |
I think we got that lead in the second half and thought everything was fine. Instead, we need to build on that. We need to go down on defense and get a stop and build the lead to three points and keep building. Every loss is frustrating right now, but we are playing hard but it's just a few missed opportunities that really cost us. |
I think we're very close to being very good, but that small measure comes in the way of scoring goals, and we have to get better. Normally I don't meet with the team (after a game). I felt that tonight it warranted it. There needs to be a much greater since of urgency to get the win and I felt there wasn't enough urgency out there. |
I think when you're the highest-paid player, pressure is a part of the game, ... It's part of the business and I don't think that's anything new to him. I think it was maybe easier in Pittsburgh to deflect some of it because of previous accomplishments like the scoring titles and the Stanley Cup rings. Here he hasn't done that yet. |
I think you win and it speaks volumes, but if you win in the playoffs, that's where the respect is gained. I think, with our first time in the playoffs, we want to win whether we're 15th-seed, 16th-seed. You still have to play the games, so I don't want to say there's a lack of respect. But if you don't win, you don't gain respect. |
