Points Quotations | Page 9

What makes you mad is they knew on Saturday what was going on, but chose not to do anything about it, ... If NASCAR really wants to fix this, take 100 points away from them. If I cost Mark 100 points, he wouldn't let me put that stuff back on his car.

There is no evidence that points to anything other than a strong second half for IBM. Fundamentals are likely to continue to get better and investors at some point are going to stop worrying.

The purpose of the letter was to let his (Nixon's) contributors know he was 40 points behind and also to let them know that they should not participate in giving money to someone who is running an attack campaign.

We talked about this all week. We've played at this pace a few times. But they are a very good defensive team. Not too many teams hold Joe (Kalb) to five points and one field goal.

We talked about the importance of this game. Our trip would have ended 3-3 or 4-2. These are points that we desperately needed and I think our guys recognized that in the third period.

We talked about the first four minutes (of the second half). We got those first four points and they knew we could score in spurts.

We talked about the dangerous points of the game. After someone scores, it's definitely a dangerous time.

We talked about that (turnovers) in the locker room at halftime. In a state tournament, it's going to be a game of runs. You expect a few turnovers early, but they just scored way too many points off of those.

We talked about staying loose. We were missing 30 points and nearly six assists. That's a big part of who we are and what we do. But we had to pull together and that's exactly what we did. You know when (Sacramento) heard Gilbert wasn't playing, they were extremely pleased.

We've been there, where we've been up 18 or 19 points. We've been there, where we've been up seven or eight points with two minutes to go in the game. So we've been in a lot of situations where we know the game could turn around. We had plays that turned the game around for us.

We just have to hold onto the ball and move it down the field and score. If we can put some points on the board, we're going to be alright.

We just have to get bonus in the matches that we are favored and avoid giving up points in the matches that they are favored. Both matches are going to be close so every point is going to matter.

We're probably the only team that has a chance at catching BC, but it's probably not going to happen. There are still too many points to make up ... and a whole bunch of teams have a chance at home-ice: BU, Providence, UNH, Vermont and Maine - there's five teams going for the other three spots. It's a battle.

We're pretty optimistic. We think all we've got to do is go through the motions and get our cars comfortable and we're going to let the points take care of themselves.

We took some bad shots that led to transition points. Those were the points of the game that were most crucial. We let them make a run at the end of the first half that gave them momentum.

We took control of the game. We knew they like to get a lot of their points off steals and turnovers. So, we made them play defense a lot.

We took all these data points and fed them into a database. Then we looked at how successful the films were, based on a variety of indicators, including the number of awards it received, how much money it made at the box office and how many people had voted for a particular film on the Internet Movie Database .

We talked at halftime about giving up easy baskets in the first half. I think half their points were on transition off from our misses and turnovers. We got about five or six stops out of seven of their possessions. I think the first four or five minutes of the third quarter we played great defense.

We talked as a team that his was a big game. If we won we'd be up by 10 points, if we lost we'd be up by six, so we wanted to put some distance between the teams behind us. It doesn't matter how pretty the wins are, we have to get as many points as we can.

We talked a lot about their big guy -- he can score 30 points a game. We sort of picked our poison and said let's defend him as best we can and know where their two best shooters are and hope they don't get hot.

We're only 12 points out of 10th, but the guys we are trying to beat have been running strong lately. Its imperative that we either maintain or move ahead of them at California so we have a shot at getting in after Richmond.

We're off to our second best start in history at 10-1. Our best start ever was 19-0 in 1998-1999. We're two points away from being 11-0. Our only loss is to NCAA Division II North Georgia.

We're obviously pleased. We felt all along that the city's process was extremely thorough and, in fact, at some points exhaustive in their review of the project. I think the judge's order reflected that.

We're not working on spinning off any part of the business. They give good leverage points across the company, which are of value.

We're playing really well. The only difference between the win and the loss was the coin toss. We were trading points for most of the game.

When he's had a big game, he's getting eight to 10 points on offensive rebounds.

What I said at half-time was that there were going to be a lot more points in the game and sitting on a lead wasn't an option. We had to be brave in going out to play again which is why the score after half-time was so important.

What I'm doing here is having more points of analysis near the customers, because the key here is quick containment.

We feel like he can score 300 more points than he did in this meet. This is the first time he's had a chance to compete in a decathlon before the Drake Relays. That's one of the reasons we came to this meet because now he can train and get ready for Drake as he continues to move up.

We've got to weigh up the risks. From our own perspective, we'd done our own points system (on the incident) and it fell within that range. The match review panel got it around the mark.

We've got to realize how important these games are. The way teams can get points nowadays, especially with the amount of games we have left, we can't let these things slip as it's really hard to make up points.

We've got to put this one behind us. We've got one more game on the road against Vancouver. You can't stress the importance of these games. We need these points for getting into the playoffs.

We've got to put points on the board, because they're going to score. It's going to be a matter of us finding a way to get in the end zone.

We've got to keep our composure and not let getting down by a couple of points affect us. It's pretty important to get a nice cushion. But we're also pretty confident in ourselves in the fourth quarter. If we're in a tight game in the fourth quarter, we're pretty confident we'll pull away with it.

We've got to get the easy points. We have to. We don't score enough to leave those points out there.

We've given up only 40 points a game on average during the season. It's probably gone down now in the tournament.

We've given up 108 points in our last two games. Our defense, right now, is full of bullet holes. We've got to start closing the gaps.

We talk about scoring goals; we talk about winning at home, being ahead. None of that means anything if you are not able to hold leads. This come-from-behind tie game - we've done this a number of times this year - it's frustrating; it gets old. The comments in the locker room get old; everything gets old because it culminates to a night where you are up 2-0 when you need to get two points and you're not able to get it. That's pretty sad.

We talk about our football team complementing each other. The Dolphins put a good drive together, and on offense we needed to step up and put some points on the board. That's what we did.

We talk about bonus points all the time, and we talk about taking them off their feet and to the mat. That's the name of the game, getting the falls.

We take a variety of points into consideration when convening as a group to pick films to attempt to get for screening purposes. One thing we think about before much else is whether or not a local theater, be it Keene Cinemas or The Colonial, will be screening a film and if so, when. The Putnam is technically a second-run theater.

We take a lot of pride in our defense. We are holding our opponents to about 38 points per game and we need to keep that up at state.

We switched some things up at halftime, we moved our press up into a full court and we started to create a lot of shots and scored a lot of points because of that. I had a chance to use 12 players in this game and that was a key. Our depth just wore them down.

We told the kids at halftime (with Whitefish leading 20-6) that Polson had comeback in previous games and was a quality team. They were up for it, but some miscues (four offensive plays) ended up being big turning points in the game.

We told the girls all week if we could keep them between 45 and 55 points we would be in the game. They did even better than that. We prided ourselves on defense all year. That's a very talented team we held in check.

We told Justin before he went out there that the headlock was coming. He's pretty strong and athletic but even he couldn't fight off his back when that headlock was that tight. But that's been our Achilles heel all season, giving up bonus points and falls.

We told (center) Robert Swift at the walkthrough this morning and tonight that Ely is going to take two dribbles to the middle and shoot a jump hook. And that's exactly what he did and he scored 21 points in the first half.

We threw four interceptions, one they returned for a TD, and they scored 22 points off of them. You're not going to win a game when that happens. The difference tonight was two things. The first thing was they capitalized on our turnovers and we didn't capitalize on theirs. And the second thing was their defensive line beat our offensive line at the point of attack.

We thought we would be a playoff team when the season began. We had 17 games decided by less than 10 points and suffered nine league losses by five (points) or less. We could never get over the hump.

We thought we should have been up 14 to 18 points at halftime. You feel bad that you don't have the good lead, but by the same token, we knew we're playing pretty well and it was a matter of time, especially with the 1-for-10 from the line.

Today has given us a psychological boost ahead of that match. We have taken two points off the champions while Saracens will be coming off the back of a 50-point defeat at Northampton and they are bound to be a pretty unhappy camp. We have arrested our downward slide and I am very pleased with this result.

To get 67 points from your bench ... there are nights when we don't get 67 as a team.

What we were doing in the last minute we should have been doing for 40 minutes. To be able to score that many points in that little time, we should be able to take a lesson from that.

He (Reed) had a great night. He kept his composure throughout the game and stayed focused. Early things weren't quite going his way, but he stayed within himself and then eventually things started to open up for him and good things happened. His teammates got him the ball and there is no way he could score those points without his teammates making that effort to get him the basketball.

Here is a classical story of a stock that is trading under book value. AT&T, the same thing. I believe it is up 4 or 5 points from its low and basically trying to stabilize at these levels, when it is all said and done, it still probably will be the leader of the pack. Again, a company selling under book value,

Having Scott in the top five made me very happy. We would like to have beaten Western, but we were two points short.

Having said that, I think that in any Davis Cup tie you look to where your most likely points will come from and where your tougher opposition will be. It's a bit like being a football manager. I have to look to where our best chances are and pick my team around it.

Having two weeks to prepare and pore over every frame of game film is a great advantage. I am very interested to see what Coach Weis has planned, particularly the first 15 offensive plays which Weis scripts. Weis has done a great job of putting points on the board against highly ranked opponents.

He's a big, physical guy. You can't leave him for a minute. A lot of his points came on second shots.

He's a force. We were willing to give up some inside points as long as we were not giving up 3-pointers. We did all that we needed to do to win.

He's 19 points ahead of the next closest guy on our team. He's able to create things from nothing on offense.

He?s a guy that does everything no one sees but the coaches. He?s the guy that always boxes out, always gets on the floor - all of the intangibles. You might see he has three or four points a game but he makes so many contributions to our team in so many different ways.

Her opponent was good at luring Fernanda into making mistakes but wasn't good at winning points outright.

Her offensive rebounds are what is so damaging to a team. She scores a lot of her points getting offensive rebounds.

Going in, we knew this was a tough defensive team. We knew we were not going to walk in here and put up 48 points like we did last week. They're just too good for that. We made a couple of adjustments at halftime. We saw some things we could do (and) we just kept plugging.

For me, one of the high points is the internal build up of the space station with new laboratory equipment.

He's a kid that we've slid into the starting lineup and he's played very well. Lately, he's been giving us 12 or 14 points per game and it's great to have that extra scorer.

He's a special kid. To go out there and have 28 points and 26 rebounds is special. Now all he has to do is work on his free throws. But with Dwight, the sky's the limit.

He's got over 800 now. so if he continues his average of more than 20 points a game, he could do it. He's a great shooter that really has a quick shot. He has the green light to shoot whenever he thinks he can make it.

He's averaging about two points a game, but he can make that shot. He got on a major roll and easily played his best game. We're not a perimeter-oriented team. Heck, we probably made more 3s tonight (seven) than we have all season.

He's a tough kid and he always seems to stay close enough to give himself an opportunity to win. He gave up some points but managed to come out on top every time. I think he expected to do as well as he did.

His points didn't come as easy as you might think. They were physical with him and he had to finish some tough shots. He did a good job in getting us off to a good start.

His strong points are no longer his strong points.

He's got 65 points on his ACT; he needs 68. He's going to make it in his core (GPA). I absolutely expect him to qualify.

He's good; he's a competitor. I've said it -- when he's on, he's one of the best in the league. No doubt about it. He's got to be our best player. Five of our last six points have been on the road, so it's been quite a challenge for us. We've got four of six at home now.

He's a three-sport performer. He plays for me, then averages like 20 points in basketball and was a state-qualifier in the hurdles for the track team. He's impressive.

He's a very sharp guy who did a really good job at Mutual Series. They got points for not giving up on their strategy during the growth boom and tossing aside dividends and balance sheet analysis.

He's going to get 200 points if he lasts four years.

He's been invaluable so far. ... Just the fact that when you get down there on that 25-and-in and you have somebody who has shown that he can get points means a lot. Certainly, in the punting game, field position is key to everything we do." ()

Hopefully, we have enough gas in the tank to surprise some teams. There are a lot of things we need to work on, but these are points that we need.

Hopefully we can put some drives together, put some points on the board and get it going.

Hopefully, we can kick on and keep winning games. Hopefully, Chelsea will drop a few points and we can get close to them or even catch them. And with a bit of luck, we could end up overtaking them.

Hopefully, we can get Dylan those two more points this weekend. It's not every year you have three guys on the same team with 100 points.

There are no points for trying. There only are points for winning. The old SBC is a company that won.

There aren't necessarily clear points of difference between what's normal and abnormal. Abnormal behavior may just be an exaggeration of normal behavior.

When they play good, they're really good. But then when they're down, they lose a lot of points and it's hard to get back.

Under our proposal, ZIP codes could still have a significant impact just not the main impact. Theoretically, if you assigned 20 points to each of the top three categories, you could still assign 19 points to ZIP codes.

We may change the number of points available, the evaluation and so on. But the structure is OK, it works. It doesn't mean we cannot improve. Like a Renault or Ferrari keep improving their cars, we will do that too.

We maybe looked a little tired tonight, but I thought our kids never panicked, and got a hard-earned win in overtime. It is so important, particularly at this point of the season, to get points on the road. We got one win, and now its time to start focusing on getting another one tomorrow.

We managed to take two points off them down there and we need to win to keep our title challenge going.

We managed to hold her (Wilson) to just 14 points so that's a credit to our defense. I'm just so proud of the way we came together tonight.

We must have given them eight points on second chance shots.

We have to ask ourselves what the athletic department can do to reduce that difference from 14 points to five to three to two to a half-point to even.

We look at different facets, different relationships, the same relationship at different points in time. We look sometimes at the whole town and sometimes at individual relationships, and by the time we're done you have a sense of having met the people of this town.

We looked into and tested the Airbnb website and found the inquiries generated were at price points substantially lower than the market is prepared to pay us directly. It was clear that there were no real synergies between the level of our offering and what Airbnb clientele is looking for.

We looked each other in the eye and told the truth. The facts are: Last six games, 11.5 points a game, three games out of double figures in the last six and every one was in double figures before then. You tell me. He just had to pick it up.

We look at what the specific demand is between nonstop points, essentially how much demand there is in the local market. But we're also looking to maximize our overall network, so we're looking at traffic and revenue available to us from all points that connect through Denver.

We look at the problems from the last game and try to get them fixed, but ... none of that really matters any more. What can we do to score enough points to beat Colorado? That's all that matters.

We lost to them twice by 26 points last year and they're the same team. I think we gave them a scare. We play them three times this year, and we're looking to get one game.

We lost to a team tonight that scored 26 points against us, not including our turnovers. They scored 22 points off our turnovers and finished with 48. They shot 20-something (26.3) percent from the floor, and we lose the game. That's probably the most incredible stat you'll ever see in your life.
