point red
Not only is he a lefty, not only is he a Red Sox killer, but when it comes down to it, has there ever been a point when you've wanted Schilling over Johnson?
mistake point saw tough wait
Dr. Watkins made the point that he had to do it once he got in and saw what was going on. It would've been a mistake to try to just tough it out and wait through it.

Rafer is more of a traditional point in that he passes first, shoots second,
both games point teams
Malden had some games where they scored over 54 points. But no two teams ever scored over 50. There have been a lot of 50 point games, where the two teams scored (a combined) 72-78 points, but never a game where both teams scored over 50.
along bit drama game point
We've done everything we can do to this point, we've done it with a little flair, and a little bit of drama along the way. This game was an exclamation point for this 12-game run.

concept front hate losing movement music numbers points program rather sitting tells time wasting
I hate sitting down and getting a concept of a program with numbers in front of me ... rather than what the music tells you. If you want to do a swooping movement that's really glorious, you can't take the time to do it because you're losing points by wasting the time.

ball break call came change court definitely fast floor gotten guard hold learned mindset point strength teammates teamwork type until
That's something that has not always been my strength. I used to get the ball and hold it until the point guard would come over. Now I have to look up the floor and get the fast break going. It's a definitely change that came through a lot of practice. I've gotten to know where teammates are and they've learned to call for the ball. It's definitely a teamwork type of the thing. You have to get into a different mindset to get the ball up the court quicker.

That last sequence, I didn't want to go to overtime. I thought they'd have an advantage. I told my guys on the last drive we were going for it, ... We had a remarkable opportunity on the inches line. In that sequence, Matt has the option to sneak it or spike it. I pointed to Matt and said, 'Go for the win.'
doctors point
It went really well. The doctors made a point that it was something that they had to do.

It's a display of respect for last year. We're proud of what we accomplished, and other people respect that. But it's what we do from this point forward that counts in 2005.
