country love sprawling
I'm an American, and always will be. I happen to love that big, awkward, sprawling country very much - and its big, awkward, sprawling people.
activity alone feeling few good shots
My activity alone got me going. I've been feeling pretty good for a few games. The shots weren't falling, but I'm energized.
adrenaline ankle bit building coming drives electricity felt good later playing severe sure teammates tonight
It felt good, as good as it can be coming back from a severe ankle sprain. The adrenaline was going, the electricity was in the building and my teammates were playing hard. I mean, that drives you. I'm pretty sure I'll feel a little bit of something later tonight or tomorrow, but it really doesn't matter, we got a win.

Steve does a great job of getting everyone involved. When we're balanced, we're unbeatable. But when we rely on one or two guys to carry us, we're in trouble.
ball basket biggest center defend lost offensive problem replaced running scoring shoot team
I think that they shoot the ball very well from outside. Their biggest problem is they lost their center and they haven't replaced him with someone scoring under the basket and running the team on the offensive end. If you don't come to play and defend them, they're able to make shots.
destroy game harder knew psyche second team time
I think that when you play a team a second time, and the first time you play them you destroy them, your psyche isn't in the right place. We all knew that this game wouldn't be easy, and that we would have to play harder than we did in the first game, but we didn't do that.

I think that a classic style in writing tends to remove the reader one level from the immediacy of the experience. For any normal reader, I think a colloquial style makes him feel more as though he is within the action, instead of just reading about it.

Over the past half-dozen years they've spent almost $2 billion in various kinds of safeguards, to make sure that people are registered correctly, to make sure that there's minimum opportunity for fraud on the voting cards, to have as much of a foolproof conduct of the election as possible,

Jimmy caught the big one around 1:30 using a plastic worm. We were fishing off the Little River and it was the last one we caught.
against ball job poor shot struggled
I don't think we shot the ball particularly well in our back court. We struggled making shots. I thought they did a better job defensively against us, and we did a poor job defensively against them.
people
I don't think people like to read about themselves or about others as they really are. It would be too horrifying.

We've got to go back to the drawing board. We should of had these boys. We've got to see what we did wrong, and make up for it, and just get better.
