Points Quotations | Page 8

His strong points are no longer his strong points.

Going in, we knew this was a tough defensive team. We knew we were not going to walk in here and put up 48 points like we did last week. They're just too good for that. We made a couple of adjustments at halftime. We saw some things we could do (and) we just kept plugging.

There aren't necessarily clear points of difference between what's normal and abnormal. Abnormal behavior may just be an exaggeration of normal behavior.

There are no points for trying. There only are points for winning. The old SBC is a company that won.

His points didn't come as easy as you might think. They were physical with him and he had to finish some tough shots. He did a good job in getting us off to a good start.

Under our proposal, ZIP codes could still have a significant impact just not the main impact. Theoretically, if you assigned 20 points to each of the top three categories, you could still assign 19 points to ZIP codes.

When they play good, they're really good. But then when they're down, they lose a lot of points and it's hard to get back.

He's a tough kid and he always seems to stay close enough to give himself an opportunity to win. He gave up some points but managed to come out on top every time. I think he expected to do as well as he did.

He's averaging about two points a game, but he can make that shot. He got on a major roll and easily played his best game. We're not a perimeter-oriented team. Heck, we probably made more 3s tonight (seven) than we have all season.

He's got over 800 now. so if he continues his average of more than 20 points a game, he could do it. He's a great shooter that really has a quick shot. He has the green light to shoot whenever he thinks he can make it.

He's a special kid. To go out there and have 28 points and 26 rebounds is special. Now all he has to do is work on his free throws. But with Dwight, the sky's the limit.

He's a kid that we've slid into the starting lineup and he's played very well. Lately, he's been giving us 12 or 14 points per game and it's great to have that extra scorer.

For me, one of the high points is the internal build up of the space station with new laboratory equipment.

Hopefully, we can get Dylan those two more points this weekend. It's not every year you have three guys on the same team with 100 points.

Hopefully, we can kick on and keep winning games. Hopefully, Chelsea will drop a few points and we can get close to them or even catch them. And with a bit of luck, we could end up overtaking them.

Hopefully we can put some drives together, put some points on the board and get it going.

Hopefully, we have enough gas in the tank to surprise some teams. There are a lot of things we need to work on, but these are points that we need.

He's been invaluable so far. ... Just the fact that when you get down there on that 25-and-in and you have somebody who has shown that he can get points means a lot. Certainly, in the punting game, field position is key to everything we do." ()

He's going to get 200 points if he lasts four years.

He's a very sharp guy who did a really good job at Mutual Series. They got points for not giving up on their strategy during the growth boom and tossing aside dividends and balance sheet analysis.

He's a three-sport performer. He plays for me, then averages like 20 points in basketball and was a state-qualifier in the hurdles for the track team. He's impressive.

He's good; he's a competitor. I've said it -- when he's on, he's one of the best in the league. No doubt about it. He's got to be our best player. Five of our last six points have been on the road, so it's been quite a challenge for us. We've got four of six at home now.

I feel like I gave them seven points they shouldn't have had. I bit on a route that I shouldn't have. I lost that game.

I feel that the point system and the same points being available for everybody is a good thing,

What makes you mad is they knew on Saturday what was going on, but chose not to do anything about it, ... If NASCAR really wants to fix this, take 100 points away from them. If I cost Mark 100 points, he wouldn't let me put that stuff back on his car.

Whatever happened off the field is not going to help us on Saturday. It's not going to give us three points on the board before the game starts.

Whatever problems we have in our ministry, we have raised. Chidambaram was very kind and considerate. The Finance Ministry did agree to some of the points that we raised. So, we are discussing them again.

This wasn't an easy win. We won by 20-(something) points but it wasn't easy. But it's good for the confidence of the team.

We can effectively respond to all of these points if allowed to do so. This is disheartening, but not unexpected and these things can be easily addressed.

Having different players to step up is key for us. We have five players that on any given night can give us 20-plus points and that's what we need.

He doesn't always do what's best for him. He always did the best for the organization on the racetrack. Three years ago, Mark (Martin) was running for a championship. Kurt was leading (at) Rockingham, and Mark was running second. Kurt pulled over so Mark could get the points for leading the most laps. Things like that, most people would never think of doing.

He gets more confident each and every game. He runs the floor well and from an offensive perspective he has some moves. He's had four or five games in a row scoring big points for us.

He does real well. We're very happy for him. We had no clue he was going to be our leading scorer. He's consistent. He gets 14 or 15 points every game. Sometimes he gets 20. He's always around the board. He does a nice job.

He does what he always does, try to frustrate you. But like I said before, I've never lost against him and I think he had six points and he's going to measure me on that status and I'm going to measure him on that status. He guards pretty good.

There is no evidence that points to anything other than a strong second half for IBM. Fundamentals are likely to continue to get better and investors at some point are going to stop worrying.

He himself has said you can follow the patterns and real events in his life by reading his books, which doesn't mean you can figure out his life by reading his books. Simply that the events in his life are the starting points for the books that he writes. But that's just the beginning.

We've been there, where we've been up 18 or 19 points. We've been there, where we've been up seven or eight points with two minutes to go in the game. So we've been in a lot of situations where we know the game could turn around. We had plays that turned the game around for us.

We talked about staying loose. We were missing 30 points and nearly six assists. That's a big part of who we are and what we do. But we had to pull together and that's exactly what we did. You know when (Sacramento) heard Gilbert wasn't playing, they were extremely pleased.

We talked about that (turnovers) in the locker room at halftime. In a state tournament, it's going to be a game of runs. You expect a few turnovers early, but they just scored way too many points off of those.

We talked about the dangerous points of the game. After someone scores, it's definitely a dangerous time.

We talked about the first four minutes (of the second half). We got those first four points and they knew we could score in spurts.

We talked about the importance of this game. Our trip would have ended 3-3 or 4-2. These are points that we desperately needed and I think our guys recognized that in the third period.

We talked about this all week. We've played at this pace a few times. But they are a very good defensive team. Not too many teams hold Joe (Kalb) to five points and one field goal.

The purpose of the letter was to let his (Nixon's) contributors know he was 40 points behind and also to let them know that they should not participate in giving money to someone who is running an attack campaign.

He needs to be cognizant of congressional egos and their involvement in decisions going forward. He's got to make up 12-15 points to be effective. He can get there.

He'll get 25, 26 or 27 points and you'd walk out swearing he got 12. He's not flashy, but he gets three or four threes and he gets eight to 10 free throws.

He'll go out with confidence and do the best he can. Since he walked in (to practice this season), he's led the team and scored some big points for us.

He fought hard. But then I thought he had a good chance at winning this match; I didn't think it was that big of an upset because he's a good little wrestler. I don't remember anyone ever beating him. He always beat himself because of the mistakes he made and the points he gave up. He's a good little athlete, probably pound for pound the best athlete in that high school.

He got a lot of those points just by getting down the court. His style of play is fast. If we can get him running, he can get hot in a hurry and that's what we saw in the first half.

He doesn't fool around out there, does he? He gets the ball and throws it. This guy learned how to put different pressure points on the ball to make the ball move. This guy is the best I've ever seen.

He doesn't give you cheap points the way he did four years ago and that's the reason why he's improved so much and he's the standout No.1 at the moment,

He doesn't have to have the ball passed to him to have a great night - he goes and gets it. He could finish a game with 25 points and 20 rebounds without having the ball passed to him.

He got the points and the lead and we were yelling at him to just hold on for the win. But then he got the pin and those points are huge.

He got two points for the near fall with three seconds left in the period. I was frustrated and the reversal in the third ended it.

He got us off to a great start. He got a lot of points early. We know he gets a little fatigued, but we need him to score a lot of points for us for our offense to hum.

He had 13 points against Logan and 10 against Watkins Memorial. During those eight games we were losing, he wasn't playing too well. I think he gained some confidence in that game against Watkins. He was coming back from an injury and finally got comfortable and played his game and didn't worry about his ankle.

He had 16 of his 18 points when the game was still close. We had trouble trying to defend him. He hit two threes and a bunch of pull-up jumpers. It was a pretty impressive display by him.

He had 18 defensive rebounds. We didn't do a good job of getting any offensive rebounds. Our lack of getting second-chance points was huge.

He had 20 points against us the last time. He hurts you getting up the floor, but tonight we were sticking on him.

He had 38 points and 20 rebounds against Terra Nova earlier in the year, but, more than anything, I think Jorge is a leader now. We made him a captain this week and he's taking it very personal.

He had a big tournament. Chad, he probably got half his points on hustle plays. And he was always there when he needed to be.

We took all these data points and fed them into a database. Then we looked at how successful the films were, based on a variety of indicators, including the number of awards it received, how much money it made at the box office and how many people had voted for a particular film on the Internet Movie Database .

We took control of the game. We knew they like to get a lot of their points off steals and turnovers. So, we made them play defense a lot.

We took some bad shots that led to transition points. Those were the points of the game that were most crucial. We let them make a run at the end of the first half that gave them momentum.

We're pretty optimistic. We think all we've got to do is go through the motions and get our cars comfortable and we're going to let the points take care of themselves.

We're probably the only team that has a chance at catching BC, but it's probably not going to happen. There are still too many points to make up ... and a whole bunch of teams have a chance at home-ice: BU, Providence, UNH, Vermont and Maine - there's five teams going for the other three spots. It's a battle.

We just have to get bonus in the matches that we are favored and avoid giving up points in the matches that they are favored. Both matches are going to be close so every point is going to matter.

We just have to hold onto the ball and move it down the field and score. If we can put some points on the board, we're going to be alright.

Joe does a great job drawing double-teams and fighting off guys, and I just pick up the garbage in front. I just always play hard, and if it happens, it happens. ... It's amazing to play with him, and we're making up points against teams ahead of us in the standings.

Joe was two points away from beating the guy that won (Kyle John). It was closer than we expected. He wrestled a lot better this week then he did last week in the finals. Third as a freshman is quite an accomplishment. He's only the second kid from our school to make states as a freshman.

Joey was doing everything right. He just couldn't get points in the bottom position, and his opponent held that riding-time advantage.

Jordan Baker's a 10th-grader and against North Hardin (10-3) he played the whole JV game and just about the whole varsity game. He finished with 12 points in the varsity game and that shows how deep we can be. We're getting production from our whole team.

Jordan had a great game. He had 15 points at halftime, and he got 15 more in the second half. He was a big key to the game.

Jordan probably hasn't scored 19 points in all his games combined this season. He did a good job tonight.

Jordan's had a phenomenal year. Keith Koch has scored over 20 points in two of our last three games, and he's our best post player. Justin Johnson is a three-point shooter, and he's our best defender.

Just seeing him score five points in one game this season ... those were memories I will take.

My readers often tell me that what they admire about my books is my ability to write from so many points of view. My challenge to myself is whether I'll ever be able to write a novel just from one point of view. It seems impossible.

My points in this game came throughout the game. Usually I have big spurts in quarters either in the first or the second, but tonight it just seemed like my points were spread out through the whole game. We're finally starting to come together and play team defense and start to execute on our offense a lot better.

My role changed. I was the play-maker again. In college I usually had the toughest defensive assignments. I was back to scoring 20 points a game so it was fun.

Testing is not a cure-all. But because it is believed that migraine is triggered by an accumulation of factors - a kind of points system - if you can avoid your potential food triggers, you are less likely to accumulate enough points from other sources to trigger an attack.

I want to win. If I have to score 50 points to win, I'll do that.

I want to win this race. But, at the same time, I'm really aware of the points situations. To come out of here and distance myself on the good of 10th place would be awesome.

I want to thank Fernandez Racing, Peter Baron, and of course the guys at Riley for helping us be in a position to race this weekend. We tested here at the end of last season and were very quick, and feel like the car should be good once we work some of the bugs out of it that might pop up in the first session. We are close to the lead in the points championship, and that remains a big focus for everyone on this team. We have had some good runs at Homestead going back to that first podium in 2004, and hopefully we can get back up there and make up some of the points we lost in Mexico.

I watched what's going on (at Fresno State). I see points on the board. ... The energy and enthusiasm and passion for the game that he as is similar to mine.

I went around to different points and as I caught her I would have her do different running techniques. Otherwise Brooke's mind might go stagnant from being bored.

I went for the kick instead of two points because I felt their team was tiring.

Looking at the continuation charts necessarily produces a conclusion that heating oil and crude face strong support points that will require some new item of fundamental import to enable a breakdown. If prices were under such monumental pressure then the November lows would certainly have been broken.

Looking at the scores, we were only four points from winning, and that's really close. If we get a couple of matches to swing our way, then there's a pretty good chance we win.

Loan and deposit growth was strong across all markets. Total assets at year-end were $5.9 billion, a 15% increase from a year ago. Loans increased $144 million during the fourth quarter, or 14% on an annualized basis, and helped drive the increase in net interest revenue. Our net interest margin rose to 4.20%, up 15 basis points from a year ago and up three basis points from last quarter, as increasing short-term interest rates continued to positively affect our slightly asset-sensitive balance sheet. Fee revenue, excluding securities losses taken in the fourth quarter of 2005, was up 12%, reflecting increases in nearly every category.

I was a little bit surprised that he didn't feel so confident on the court. I felt many times that I could win this match. But he played the important points better in the end.

I was coaching Purvis a few years ago, and we had South Lauderdale down 28 points at halftime. South Lauderdale not only came back and won, they also won a state championship.

I was disappointed with our play in the latter part of the game. I believe we had the capability to put more points on the board. I'm disappointed with the number of points we scored.

I was concerned. We made those last five minutes seem like a year. But there were a lot of good teaching points in that. We had breakdowns but managed to get a win. We can learn from it.

Listing the person with the higher credit score as the primary borrower, ... may knock as much as two percentage points off the interest rate.

Limon is the best defensive team that we have played all year. We could never even get our entry pass completed to get our offense going. We usually score more points than that (31), but they just took us completely out of our game.

Matt Miller made a really big play when he tackled that guy. That was huge to keep them from scoring. If they get that, three points or a touchdown, they probably win this game.

Mark Doll brings a wealth of experience and expertise in developing high performance consulting organizations. At Business Objects, we are looking forward to having Mark lead our team to transition from product enablement services to business intelligence consultancy. Our goal is to develop long-term partnerships with our customers that can help them address the pain points unique to their industry, and help them perform better in their respective marketplaces.

Markets are confident that the Fed will raise rates another 25 basis points at the Federal Open Market Committee meeting. The real story will be, not if the Fed raises rates, but what it says when it does it.

Look at his stats . . . look what he did. He was getting two points a game for us. How many one-goal games have we lost this year so far? Those two points a game, you don't think we'd have six more wins, eight more wins?

Look, it's not pretty. It's about getting points right now. We talked about fighting to the end and we fought to the end and got two points.
