Points Quotations | Page 3

Points are going to come out of the framework of our offense. Coach (Donovan) is going to put us in the right position to score. Coach knows who is hot and who we should go to.

Points are hard to come by against Memphis, and it's been that way for everybody because of their tempo ... and their defensive scheme. We've got to place a premium on getting good shots.

Points are hard to come by. Four-nothing is a pretty good lead, but with five minutes left to go, you just can't sit there and not wrestle.

Points are important toward the championship, but it would be nice to win this one. All of the guys would be really happy if we were able to draw the car across the line first. It would be a great achievement. This is the only race track in North America where we've raced and haven't won on.

Points are points and different guys are going to score them different nights. The big thing is that we won.

Points don't always tell the story, but it went well definitely, ... I'm being challenged to think faster and be more creative, especially with guys like this.

Points don't matter to me. Giving my team a chance to win, that's all that matters to me.

Points for effort, if not using your smarts so much, Brian.

Points for him are like oxygen for the rest of us.

points out that, for Genet, blasphemy is a sign of respect.

Points racing is completely different, ... I am not good at it, but I am learning.

Points - we always knew he could put them up, but now he's being more defensive-minded and that's what we really need on this team.

Points will come. Yards will come. I think we've proven over history that we can move the football. So, maybe some day we'll get some yards and some points.

Political corruption is endemic all over this country, in some places worse than others, right? On crime, you have all the major American cities where the crime rates at different points in their histories, have spiked dramatically.

Rex definitely showed some improvement. The offense put 24 points on the board; that's a step in the right direction.

Neither team played defense. A lot of guys scored points and there was a lot of foul shooting and a lot of fouling. If we could have made a couple of stops, we would have won the game.

Neither team was stopping each other and then Chris Hernandez had a stretch there that changed everything. The big shot he hits, the 3-pointers, and then he gets bumped and the parade continues. Having that happen where they get a lot of points at the line was one of my biggest fears.

Next week, it can be turned right back around. Next week, I can come out and lose in the first round and they'll take the points lead again.

Now, whether my not asking for good things to happen to me is subconsciously intended to win me brownie points with God is something I can't answer. But I do feel the need to give thanks and also not to feel hypocritical by asking for things when I have doubts that God would answer me.

NPA hung around the entire game but didn't have enough to beat them. We stayed within four or five points the whole game. I was proud of them.

Now that we're tied in points with 33 games left, we've got as good an opportunity as we've ever had to finish ahead of them. Against a team like Detroit, that gives you some confidence to go forward. There's still a long way to go, but (the two wins) sure don't hurt.

Now that it's tournament time, we know we're not going to beat people by 30 or 40 points anymore. We know we have to play hard for the entire game.

Objectively, with 15 points to be distributed, it's won.

Obviously a club that struggles as badly as this one on the field for points there is going to be speculation about the manager and its way forward. I do not want to add to that speculation.

Obviously at this point in time, most of these kids have it narrowed down to a few schools at most. I think you just continue to sell your program. You continue to sell the strong points of your program and we think we've got a lot to sell.

Obviously he's a lot better on clay, so I tried to press his forehand and make points on my terms instead of his.

Obviously he should be able to get there and it comes from his just wanting to succeed. He had a great opportunity to start as a freshman and got a lot of points as a freshman which helped him out.

Obviously he's on fire. Even the games I've watched on TV, he seems to be getting points every night. He's an elite player.

Obviously, I would like us to play better offensively. Our defense was good all five games. We'd like to score more points and be more fluid, but I think that's something that can come as the season goes on.

Obviously our defense wasn't very solid tonight, we can't give up 100 points to anybody and be successful. We came out flat in the first half and fought back in the second half but we dug ourselves a hole because we didn't get up and defend.

Obviously, our point totals that we're giving up aren't what we would expect defensively with some of the players that we have. But in all fairness, the turnovers are the big issue. Defensively, you're going to give up points when you're turning the ball over and giving the other team more opportunities (and) that's what we've been doing.

Obviously people are focusing on the FOMC announcement, ... Up until last week I was ready to flip over to 50 basis points (a half percentage point) but we've had some economic news that's been pretty good.

Obviously it's up to the coach, but I hope to be an effective penalty-killer and all those things. It's been one of my strong points that I've been able to give the team whatever it needs.

Obviously it was desperation being down nine with 3 minutes left. But 3 minutes is a long time and nine points is four possessions. We were very fortunate tonight.

Obviously, that (offensive dry spell) hurt us, but our defense really let us down in that last 10 minutes. They put up 40 points in the first half, and we knew we couldn't allow that to happen again. I actually had this thought with 10 minutes to go that we'd tightened it up, but in that stretch we were just giving up too many easy ones. ... Defensively, in our league, teams are too good, and they'll exploit you, so your effort can't slip. Whether they were wearing us out, or what, it was just a very bad stretch.

Now that they have cancelled the last three races, I guess that is where we are ending up, ... Second in the points is good and I'm really happy to be Rookie of the Year. I would have liked to have seen what we could have done with more races. I don't think that the series ever got going the way that people would have liked.

Now that we are aware that this attack vector is a possibility, customers can be certain that we will be scrubbing the code to look for any other points of vulnerability based on this kind of attack.

Now, we can score points and lock up, too.

Now we have to go and attack each race for a win. We have to go to Dover and expect to win and try and build our points back up.

No points were awarded. But bragging rights were established.

People who want to lose weight rapidly, or have a lot of weight to lose, should build up to 300 points per day or 2,000 points a week, or also go on a strict diet.

Obviously in the long term, as the season wears on, there's no way you can be as good a team without someone who is, I think, one of the best five players in the league. Meg can put up 20 points every night, and that has to be comforting. But this West Virginia team is still one of the best that I've seen. That team is very difficult to play against.

Obviously this was a good win. We held them to 34% shooting, 59 points and outrebounded them by 14 (36-22).

Obviously to end the game the way we did with 10 points wasn't in the plans. They attacked and I thought they were the aggressor and I thought, when we were attacked, we went back on our heels a little bit.

New Orleans blossomed into one of the most popular points of embarkation for cruise ship customers and was on pace to break the 1 million-passenger mark. The cruise industry evolved into a major economic engine for the entire city, generating $226 million in direct and indirect sales annually. NCL is a vital part of that success and I commend them for their support and commitment to the rebuilding of a greater New Orleans.

Right now, anything that points to a slowdown in the economy and is less inflationary is good news, ... The market wants data that's modestly positive.

Right now down the stretch here every games huge. It was a big two points for us and I was pretty happy that I got a few goals there.

Right now it really looks close between the three of us. I guess Memorial would be the favorite, seeing they won it last year. I think this is going to be extremely close. Every point is going to count. It's going to be a nickel-and-dime meet. The team that can get the most points at the bottom will probably win it.

My first thought was to get the ball inside to Jessica (Davenport, who led the Buckeyes with 17 points and 14 rebounds). But Purdue wasn't going for my fakes, so I started to shoot and they started to fall.

My focus is on winning this tournament. I'm trying to get points and get my ranking up a little bit.

My freshman year, we could really depend on three players that kind of carried us. We could screen or do whatever we were asked. Now, we have to try to lead and put some points on the board. It's changed a lot since our freshman year.

My friend created an iPhone app that locates Vienna Beef products across the country. Personally, I came hardwired with an internal GPS that instinctively points me toward coffee shops, cupcake stores and the perfect Chicago-style dog, so I find this technology redundant.

My feeling is the Fed hasn't clearly indicated that it's fighting a slower economy rather than inflation. Economists and individual investors would like to see the Fed cut rates by 75 basis points and I do believe that would take some of the pressure off the consumer.

My job as a social studies teacher is to argue alternative perspectives and viewpoints so that students are aware of those points of views.

I have challenged my players. They have worked hard - but now we must press on and in addition to playing well we must look to win points and be consistent.

I have greatly enjoyed my collaborations with Howard Shore, whose musical themes made immeasurable contributions to 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy, ... During the last few weeks, Howard and I came to realize that we had differing creative aspirations for the score of 'King Kong.' Rather than waste time arguing with a friend and trying to unify our points of view, we decided amicably to let another composer score the film. I'm looking forward to working with James Newton Howard, a composer whose work I've long admired, and I thank Howard Shore, whose talent is surpassed only by his graciousness.

I didn't care if I scored a career high or no points at all. All I wanted was the win. Now I'm excited to go to the conference tournament and find out who we have to play.

I didn't do anything special with Carmelo except to stay with him. We knew we had enough points and that all we had to do is defend in the second half.

I'd like to maintain the team we have and see if we can do it, but it's really not my call. I really think we probably needed to be closer than seven points to really show that we can take this team farther than where it is right now.

I'd like to maintain the team we have and see what we can do with it. I think we needed to be closer than seven points away to realistically keep this team together.

I'd like to tell you that football, from the initial report that was presented from this time last year, is up 36 points and we feel football is moving in the right direction.

I don't get 35 points and we lose and I'm happy. I want to win.

I didn't miss much of the key points and I put her under pressure. I couldn't ask for more, because Maria is number four in the world. I knew I had to come up with a great game and I did.

I don't know anybody out there who is not expecting the Bank of Canada to hike 25 basis points next week.

I don't have an answer. Little mistakes give up big plays. You have to finish. You have to have more points on the scoreboard than the other team.

I don't feel like we're really in a catch-up mode, ... We had our bad week and even with that, we're only 23 points behind. We could take the points lead back this weekend very easily.

I don't ever remember having a team that came from 20 points down and win. Of course, I don't remember being down 20 points at halftime many times either.

I don't feel at any point of the match that I really had any rhythm. I don't think I got nearly as many returns in today. ... It was a much more erratic match, where the points were just going fast. I didn't know quite what was going to happen.

I didn't get any free points on my serve tonight, which I usually do. I could've been more aggressive and taken a few steps into the court, but I let her get into a rhythm too much and she was playing at the pace she likes. I'm glad that I was able to fight back a bit after 5-1 in the first, but I shouldn't have got into that position in the first place.

I didn't get any free points on my serve, which I usually do,

If we come out of this weekend with the same kind of points lead, I think we will be able to breathe a little easier,

If we can pick up six points from two games then we can close up on the teams above us and make a real fight of it.

If this comes to bear, the current 200 basis points advantage for U.S. cash will be preserved through July and ensure the U.S. enjoys sufficient foreign capital inflows.

If they start to pick up points then those people who are subjected to the loss of points will probably be very vocal about it.

If they try and play us big, one of the main things we're going to have to do is defend and get out there and rebound. That's one of the focal points this year is rebounding more than anything.

If they want to come out, that's fine. It doesn't bother me. This is a campaign, and we have different points of view. Clearly Mr. Webb has been a Republican all his life, so he has a different view of the world than I do.

I don't know where the rally ends. There's nothing on the horizon that points to a substantial fall in prices. It takes time for a supply response to occur.

I don't know where we were defensively. I don't think we've given up 75 points to anyone all year. I think the girls were a little bit nervous and shell-shocked. They were prepared to defend everything we saw tonight, but I was disappointed with our defensive intensity and our offensive execution.

I did some research, and 35 percent of their points come from the line. So we played behind the posts. We didn't try to fight to get over the top. We didn't want cheap fouls.

If we're in a situation where I need to put points on the board, then I'll do it. I really do it on a needed basis. I don't do it just to do it. I don't try to go into a game saying, 'this is what I'm going to do.' We've had a couple games where my teammates were struggling shooting the ball. Then I take it over.

If we had the (kids with illness and injuries) with us, we'd feel pretty good about the weekend. It's going to limit us as to the points we can score.

If we guard, we're a tough team to beat, because we're able to put points on the board. Really, it just came down to us getting stops, and if they tried to make a run, we had to answer.

If we had hustle points he'd be one of our leaders. He does all the little things that make a winning team. We're glad to have him.

If we had lost today we would have definitely been out because they would have been 10 points ahead of us but we are still in it based on today's result.

If we play well and capitalize on every drive, I think we could score 100 points. I think if we're going to do it, we need to do it next week. But we're not worried about points. As long as we're moving the ball and getting first downs, the points will come.

If we're able to have community energy and participation in the process, it has a lot of political power because it represents people with different points of view about downtown, coming together.

If we find him dead, I think the Dow goes up 100 points and it's a short-term top. If we catch him alive, the market goes up maybe 50 points and then goes down.

If we can get our 20-plus points in the first quarter, it seems to be a real key to us as far as getting a 'W'. The games that we've lost, they've been games where we haven't scored a lot in the first quarter.

If we can get six points from our four remaining matches, that should do the trick for us.

If we can get three points this week we'll put ourselves in a good position to beat the drop.

If they raise 25 basis points and sound worried about inflation the market may get demoralized,

Last year, we lost a lot of games by one, two, three, four points on a regular basis. This year, a lot of those losses we turned into wins.

Last year, they were scoring about four points a game, now they're scoring 44 points. They never quit and they always bring a good attitude. That's what keeps them going.

Leadership and the six returning starters will be strong points for us this season.

Losing a game like tonight is a killer. These are four-point games. We have six games left against these guys. Who knows, those points might determine a playoff spot.

Lourdes gave us a tough game at home. They held us to 35 points the first time and we talked about how aggressive Lourdes is defensively. The kids were ready.

We're not doing it. I'm not doing it. We can put forth as much of an effort as we want on defense, but teams who can shoot well are going to score points ? and we've got to execute. We're getting open looks. We're just not making them.

There are many advantages to owning your home - but we do think that sometimes the advantages to renting are overlooked. Neither owning nor renting is the right choice for everybody at all points in their life.

When times are tough and points are hard to come by, we need individuals to step up to be heroes. Tonight we had a lot of guys who were heroes.

When we started the 125-pound weight class, I think we were down 24 points and Turner still had five wrestlers. The key wins were the ones when we were head-to-head with Turner. When you look at the end of the day, all the matches throughout the day worked into the final outcome. I take that, and I appreciate that, but the way the team played for the championship was really good.
