Phil and I talked about many things at lunch yesterday, including ways we can help the victims of the hurricane,
city guys hurricane katrina lightning money phil relief resolved rod sent singing
Phil and I resolved it. We sent money to Katrina (the hurricane relief fund). That's what we did to resolve it. But if you want to keep singing that same song, go ahead. Philadelphia don't let nothing go. You guys don't let nothing go. I'm a lightning rod in this city and I know it. . . . Without me you don't have any news.
certainly game greatest home honored invited playing
It certainly is just outstanding that we get a home game after all of these years of playing in the NIT, and we are honored that we are invited to participate in one of the greatest all-time traditional tournaments.

I thought both teams played excellent and stood up to the moment. It was a great moment in Philadelphia basketball as far as I'm concerned.

Kids will say whatever sounds good, and you guys print it or whatever. They've gotten together on things before, and it hasn't made a difference.
knock
He has no fear. You can knock him down, he's getting up.
care center minutes played playing sure takes watching
For the minutes he played, he played well. I'm sure watching every minute he plays, because I don't want him to have a setback. He's still under doctor's care and he still takes medications. Very often you'll find him hyperventilating, and that's not good. We need him desperately, because we've been playing center by committee. That's not good. I don't like to do that.
five forgetting game instead passing role seem talent team telescope
In all my years I've never had a team that's had this much talent in five players. But they seem to see a game out of a telescope instead of binoculars. They don't see the whole floor. They're penetrating when they should be passing. They're passing it when they should be penetrating. They're forgetting the role of every player, and that's to communicate with one another.
