ball basket cold guys inside open played problem taking zone
We wanted to go at them, but if we were open on the outside, I had no problem with us taking the 3. But we were cold outside, and our big guys went away from the basket when they got the ball inside (against Hale's 2-3 zone defense). We just played scared.
active alive balls giving keeping rodney second third
Rodney was really active inside. He was keeping balls alive and giving us second and third chances.
apply ball defense force great guards guy help inside job mike patient percent shooting side
Our guards did a great job of getting the ball to Mike at the beginning, which is what you want to do with a guy shooting 56 percent from the field. But then Mt. Carmel started to apply more defense to the help side and we started to force it inside and weren't patient enough.
ball hard staring
The ball blinks, and it's hard to see. It's like staring at a strobe light.
ball best containing difference early giving last open shoot shots slow tonight
It was important to get going early on. Last time, we started slow and we didn't shoot the ball well. The difference tonight was defense, not giving them open shots and containing Johann (Jones) as best we could.
ball care good happened problem taking
I don't know what happened to us offensively. It's been a problem for us all year, taking care of the ball and taking good shots. Obviously, we didn't do that today.
assault entire industry liquor
I see it as an assault on the entire liquor industry by neo-prohibitionists.
came court early four points rushed spirits time
Our spirits just got down early tonight. Every time we came back down the court offensively after they scored, we thought we had to make four points and just rushed things.
athletic box defensive
Our turnovers killed us. That, and we didn't box out on the defensive end. That won't get it done; they're way more athletic than us.
accounting bit buying countries currency definitely easier foreign investors issues ownership rather sounds stocks target
It is definitely the way things are going, but a year-end target sounds a bit aggressive. You have the currency issues and the accounting issues and you still have the regulatory issues, and in some countries there are issues about foreign ownership on stock. I think it's a lot easier to have foreign investors buying U.S. stocks rather than the other way around.
bound five hold work
Look, Merck at this price, or whatever. You know, if I hold it for five years, it's bound to work out.
choice chris few fourth front game job nice played shots tonight worked
That was one of the few shots that go through. Chris did a nice job fending off the defenseman and getting off a nice shot. Tonight was the first game he played up front for us. He's been our fourth defenseman, but with all the injuries, I had no choice but to put him up there. It worked out pretty well for us.
build couple games gave gives good knocked last played pleased practices second shots three
I was very pleased with the way we played in the second half. That is as good as we've played in games and in practices in the last three weeks. It gives us something to build on. We were able to do what we wanted to offensively in the second half. We knocked down a couple of shots that gave us confidence.
airline earnings economic fed good interest looking money near potential raising reflect stocks stories terrific until wait wise worries
When you are looking to put new money into investments, it's always wise to wait until you get a better sense that the Fed is very near the end of raising interest rates. But there are some terrific earnings stories in this market, and some of these earnings stories, at least in my opinion, already reflect a lot of the worries about potential economic problems. Airline stocks are a good illustrative example.
