Famous Quotes & Sayings

Doc Rivers

Look at where I lived! Four blocks from Lincoln Center. I used to play in the fountain. And then I started taking dance lessons. I was in 'The Nutcracker' for the N.Y.

We came out a little flat. Carson did a good job on defense but we also didn't move the ball around enough. We knew they would pack it in (on Olson inside). Every team we play does that. We just didn't have enough intensity at the start.

We came out a little flat, and they (Carrizozo) were ready to go. There were some back-door cuts and things that we weren't exactly ready for, and they countered our quickness well. But we did a good job of pressuring the ball and spreading them out, and our energy was real good in the third quarter.

Clint Hurdle

With production comes entitlement. If you play better you get more playing time, which means more opportunity. Cory has been on a successful run of late. He is stroking the ball well and playing great defense.

With probably three minutes left, we started turning the ball over. But the biggest factor was they pounded the offensive glass on us. That was throughout the game.

With a player who has had the career of Brett Favre, one of the greatest quarterbacks to play the game, I don't think you would ever sit him for a ball game, ...

Andrew McCarthy

Adam McKay
