We're giving up 40 (points) a game, and I know they average more than that. If we keep them at 50, we'll have a good chance, but we have to control the tempo of the game because they're bigger than us, and if we limit the number of easy baskets, we'll have a good chance.

Man is an individual animal with narrow faculties, but infinite desires, which he is anxious to concentrate in some one object within the grasp of his imagination, and where, if he cannot be all that he wishes himself, he may at least contemplate his own pride, vanity, and passions, displayed in their most extravagant dimensions in a being no bigger and no better than himself.

Like coach (Mike Eaves) said, the season's not over. We've got bigger accomplishments to seize in the next couple of weeks.

Looks like you can pretty much sew this one up. Now Time Warner and Comcast will get relatively bigger scale. While operating well, this leaves Cablevision as the odd man out.

Mike has learned he's had to work harder at this level and that scoring isn't as easy as it was in high school. He was always bigger and more athletic than people he played against. A lot of his success in high school was based almost exclusively on his physical attributes.

My condolences and those of everyone else's on this team goes out to that man's family. I didn't know what to say about it. It was just a shock. Everybody on the bus felt bad about it. Everyone was just looking around like this man just lost his life. This is bigger than basketball.

More than nine years into our longest economic expansion on record, more employers are now using health insurance coverage to attract and keep workers, and are absorbing rising costs rather than passing them on to their employees.
