Steve Blake Quotations

We're competing really hard. At the beginning of the year it seems we were getting blown out a lot. Now we're in every game. We know that we can win every game. It's just a matter of finishing off strong.

He was making shots in the first half. We were getting hands up when he was shooting the ball and he was making them. We stepped up and (Jarrett) Jack and I really played the best we could to keep him in front of us, and he was missing shots.

Our real identity is one which appeals to the traditional families, hard-working young couples, the pensioners and students of Britain.

I think we're learning that's what you have to do to win games. You've got to work extremely hard to win games, be competitive and have that energy and that drive to want to win the game. And you can tell, you can see it out there, that we really want it.

We can smile now. It was impressive. It was fun to be out there. It was fun playing in a game like that.

Yeah, we definitely missed him. But it happens sometimes. I'm sure he'll step up the next game.

We have to make it clear that one, two or even three BNP MEPs elected to Brussels will have very little effect on the workings of the Parliament and the Commission.

We have to withdraw from this undemocratic institution and ensure that these people no longer have any influence on British affairs. We would like to see other European nations do the same thing. I think that will happen.

We have weeded out the deadwood and set about to deal with the internal issues that in the past led to faction building and damaging splits.

I was born and brought up in Suffolk and was one of the final intake of my generation to benefit from a grammar school education in Ipswich.

We've been effective together for a long time. We know each other's game well and can take advantage of that.

We played for 48 minutes. We executed the game plan.

When Darius is knocking down his shots, it opens up the whole game for us. They have to respect him, which opens it up for everyone else. It was really good to see tonight.

We are on the outside of that cosy little set-up and they simply don't like the idea that we are in a potentially winning position.

We definitely know how to play with each other, and we trust each other. And not only do we know how to play with just each other, we know how to play basketball in general, understanding the game and understanding how to play with other people on the floor at the same time.

With 27-foot ceilings, large power, available rail and excellent highway access, no other facility bundles these characteristics in such a high quality, modern facility. We anticipate great demand.

It was about time we got another win. We finally played up to our potential. We came out strong, had a good second quarter and were strong throughout the whole game.

(Coach) explained what it was all about. He just said you've got to play with a lot of heart and a lot of passion. You've got to want it.

I've enjoyed my time here, but I would like to go someplace where I can play more, ... If someone can provide me with a larger role, that's something I'm going to look at. I think I have a lot of good basketball in me.

I'm just letting it go. I'm feeling confident, getting good shots and hoping they go in. As far as tonight, any time you get a chance to play against one of the best players in the NBA, it's an honor. It was fun and I enjoyed being there tonight.

I'm often surprised by the level of media interest in us but I'm told that they find us interesting because we are different, even controversial.

I'm one of the few people that picked Indiana to upset Duke. They pop some threes, they can beat anybody.

So far, everything we've heard, from businesses to residents, has been positive.

As we put them in outlying areas, contamination has been more of a problem. We are still experimenting with different situations and locations.

It was good to see how focused we were and prepared. They had nothing to lose. They were attacking us. They did a good job, but we did a little bit better.

I didn't know it was that low. It's the result of too many turnovers, not executing on offense and not making shots. It's real frustrating.

They were pick-and-rolls and (center Brian Skinner ) set some good screens. The way they were playing, the shot was open. I just wanted to take them and was able to knock them down.

You can't expect to win games when you're giving up that many points after three quarters.

That's something a point guard can always work on, with keeping his dribble alive a little better. It's so important.

It was frustrating there for a little while. You're confidence can get down. Winning changes everything.

We just wanted to win this game, it didn't matter who it was. We needed to get three in a row. It's so much better when you win, so much better.

It's hard to sleep sometimes. This has been the toughest for me emotionally, just the rigors of losing and what comes with that: stress and bickering and people always questioning what's going on. It's always just a pain. You just want it to be happy sometimes, even though you know it's not going to be.

He brings a different type of a player to the team. That's what we need him to do right now -- that veteran leadership. He's been around for a while, been on a few teams. He knows what works.

The significance and influence of just one BNP councillor is far in excess of the council powers such an elected figure can, in reality, command.

We embrace policies that have, first and foremost, the continued survival of the British people at their core, and in that respect I think we are beyond left and right.

Today a racist is synonymous with race hatred. Hating someone is a pretty unpleasant thing and few people are capable of hating others. Long-term hatred is a pathological disorder.

I'm pretty quiet. But I love to play sports. I like playing all sports. I'll act goofy at times around my wife and my son, around my own family. I like to have fun in general.

My oldest son always wants to race. He's kind of like me and it now has carried over to the other two. They're all pretty competitive now. We do stuff in the pool. They're like fish in water. They go all over the place. They're kids. They like to play, have fun and compete with everything they do.

I'm probably the least flexible athlete you'll find. When it comes to yoga, I can't get in the positions and I can't hold them. You have to be pretty flexible to do it. Once you get certain positions, you have to have the core strength to hold those positions. It's a pretty good workout.

I've won a championship on every level except the NBA. It's frustrating to have not gotten that in the first two years.

I have periods where I listen to regular rap, Jay-Z, Eminem and Lil Wayne. The next day I might have some Christian alternative music. The next day I have on some dance music. It all varies what I listen to.

I am a passionate believer that Britain has benefited the whole world and that our heritage, our culture, our values and more importantly our people who created those things, are worth fighting for.

Globalisation, which benefits only multi-national companies and takes away all sense of local or national pride and identity, is the biggest threat facing all the member states of the EU.

I fell in love with Scotland and made good friends here, so I stayed after graduating with Honours in Chemistry.

When I was told my team was lucky to win, I replied: "the more we practice, the luckier we get."

Whenever I think of how religion started, I picture some frustrated old man making out a list of all the ways he could gain power, until he finally came up with the great solution of constant fear and guilt, then he leaped up and started planning a new wardrobe.
