Reggie needs to not always look for the 3-pointer. He's got to play off that dribble, take it to the hole, which he's done more lately. A mid-range game opens up the 3-point shot.

Massimo Moratti

Mancini will stay with us ... Adriano will have to play well in the remaining matches (of the season) and should stay with us too.

Anton Corbijn

Grain is life, there's all this striving for perfection with digital stuff. Striving is fine, but getting there is not great. I want a sense of the human and that is what breathes life into a picture. For me, imperfection is perfection.
