Our shots didn't fall. We were 3 of 21 (three-pointers). We've never been that bad. It was our night not to make shots. In the third quarter we cut it to within four and our shots didn't fall. In the fourth quarter we cut it to within five points and our shots didn't fall.
This show could be a challenge for the Cambodian audience, ... We don't just want to build a bridge, we want to make the bridge become a place the audience can cross as well.
We had to find a meeting place in everything, ... Every aspect of the piece is a collaboration.
We have confidence in every one of them. We just move the ball and when they recognize that shot they've been able to hit it.
We did everything we could. We threw three guys on him. He played well. He'll be the best player we play all year.
We live in a Western way of doing things. There is a different understanding what speed is there. We have to respect that.
It is a leap of faith for all of us,
We are creating a relationship and we are creating an investment, ... You build trust through the ensemble work.
They played up tempo but then in the fourth quarter they wanted to slow it down. We can play either way.
They open the space they occupy but also the space between where we are and where they are. There is tension and yearning to overcome being bound to the Earth.
They do things that seem almost impossible, and they do it beautifully.
They're good. They can really run up and down the floor. We'll just see how the ball flies tomorrow night.
He was big. He's just so strong down there I think a lot of kids have a tough time guarding him.
Local people have been asking, but we really want to celebrate next year. We didn't want to miss that,
