Vince is one of those guys, you can't stop him, but you just hope you can make him take some tough shots and hope he has an off night. I'm going to make him work for everything out there. And hopefully, I can get away with a couple of fouls.
fall houses replace tree uncle works
My uncle works in the prison, so he's still there and he said a lot of the houses are straight. My sister's house had a tree fall on it, but it didn't do too much damage. It's nothing we can't rebuild. You can't replace a life, but you can replace the houses and the fences.

Nobody can make excuses now. We have everybody back. It's time to go to work and play like we know how.

Shaq got to the line and hit his free throws. That was the biggest thing.
