creep five four games looking opportunity three
It's a big step. We're not looking to creep into the playoffs. We'd like to go in with more than five wins. We have that opportunity with three of our four games at home.
controls game plays tempo
He's like a blur. He controls the tempo of the game and makes plays for his teammates.
defended games
We defended well, but we don't play up-and-down. They had 58 possessions and we only had 51. The games we play are usually (between 52 and 55).
defended game key time
I think the key to the game was the way we defended as much as anything. But any time you make shots, things become easier.
best game played player since single steve
Steve Barnes played the best game he's played since he's been a T-Bird. He was our best player tonight. He's got to play like that every single game.
economists interested percent surprising
Economists are interested in why 70 percent makes it. It's surprising to us that so much makes it.

The biggest story for us is our continued growth at 5 o'clock.
bad ball defensive execute offensive rebound
I want to see us rebound the ball better and execute better on the offensive and defensive ends. We have to execute to be successful. We can't go out and have a bad day and win.
changing counts essence essential good interested itself rather reveal short vanish
I want to play as good as I can, not necessarily as different. I am not interested in consciously changing the essence of my music. I would rather have it reveal itself progressively as I play. Ultimately, what counts is its essential quality, anyway, and differences vanish in a short time.
glad guarantee home next nice win
I'm just glad to be home next week. I'm not going to guarantee a win because that would be silly, but it will just be nice to have all those things that home brings.
anytime feelings good higher home played playing preparing schools teams travel
Anytime you play schools from higher leagues, they're preparing us for our league. We've played some really good teams. I would like to play those teams at home sometimes for my own feelings that if we could do that, we could be competitive with them. Playing at home and not having to travel is a plus.

We look to 2007 for the next move when the current global move for higher interest rates is likely to be reversed and Australia will play its part.

We expect steady interest rates for the remainder of 2005 and most of 2006.
against bet hike inflation justify move next numbers strong
We don't think the inflation numbers are strong enough to justify a preemptive move and would bet against a hike next week.
