Shooting Quotations | Page 4

We ran into a good ball club. They shot the ball well, especially in the first half. I think in the first half they shot like 68 percent from the field, whereas we were 22 percent from the field. We just struggled shooting the ball.

We're a pretty good shooting team, but we've played three games in this gym this year and we haven't hit anything yet. We just have to regroup. We start a new season Monday.

We're a much better shooting team than that. It's frustrating not to be able to show how we got here, and that's by sharing the basketball and setting good screens and knocking down shots.

We held our own, did our job and had a lot of best times, which is something we're shooting for. We know the competition is tough with North Penn in our division, so we're trying to win but trying to do our personal best times here at the end.

We held opponents to 37.8 percent in field goal percentage on the year. But for some reason, everybody thinks we're a pressing, 3-point shooting team. I don't know where that came from. We're a balanced, skilled team. We can pass, catch and shoot.

We didn't want to put them on the line. We knew they were a good free throw shooting team. Their guards are good free throw shooters. We talked that maybe we were fouling the wrong people, but in the heat of the moment, what are you going to do?

We didn't want to give up anything easy on the inside. Both teams struggled shooting the ball. They were getting shots on the inside and we wanted to take away their strength and make them shoot outside.

We didn't tell the audience that this was a setup, that we were shooting a video, ... It was weird; there was this huge, like, 'Ahhh.' I heard this groan and moan, and then everybody started going 'Booooo' and yelling 'Bull-shit!' and throwing stuff up on the stage. Most people thought that she had been arrested. The song is about trying to find your own freedom as an individual and to avoid the repression that's coming down on individual rights from the right-wing, so-called Moral Majority.

We have reached a (price point) that is encouraging consumers to make much more digital prints, ... We already know that they are taking many more times the images than they were shooting on film. This will give them the opportunity to have them printed affordably.

When you get to the playoffs, you can't afford to turn the ball over. Free throw shooting is always important too. That's an area that we need to work on.

We've shot well the last three of four weeks. We've been talking and preaching patience on offense and getting good shots. Our shooting percentage has steadily gone up.

We've shot the ball well for two games now. We're putting people in the right spot and getting good shots. Shooting will build confidence and builds energy on both sides of the court.

We've shot the ball extremely well this year. When you're sharing the ball and shooting the ball, one thing leads to another.

When I'm filming, I try to get a facial two weeks before I start shooting and then again once I've wrapped. On set they tend to use a lot of make-up, so I like to prepare my skin right before, and then unclog all my pores right after.

We set the pace by our shooting in the first half. With a team like West Liberty, who wants a win, you can't let them hang around.

The poor man starves while they are grassing their royal mountain stags or shooting peasants and partridges in their purblind pomp of pelf and power

Once we start shooting, it's in there. You're trying to get into a place where you rise to the work, rather than make it manageable or make it work for you.

It's quite widespread in rock culture, that mythology of the shooting star. I'd rather be the North star. As bob (Dylan) says, you can navigate by it.

We're looking toward district, and we need to start solidifying our positions and shooting low scores to really set the tone for the rest of our season.

We're looking to see if there are bullets, fragments, other things that may tell us if there's any connection between that shooting, shootings here in Montgomery County and the shooting in Washington,

We're looking into a possible destabilization attempt. It could be part of symbolic violence, because what could be the purpose in shooting the building at that time of the day?

If someone suddenly lost their director the day before shooting and wanted me to step in, I'd be willing to. But I'd do brain surgery the same way. I'm always up for something new.

I do want to take some time and reinvent and get better and maybe get behind the camera a little more. I do want to direct at some point and start failing really early - start shooting videos and then commercials and then hopefully do some narrative.

When he misses, he always misses on the side or it rolls around and comes off on that side. I'm thinking, 'Ralph's shooting this, so I'm going to get on that block this time.' Usually I go back down the court. And he shot it and missed and it went right on that side.

We had been struggling shooting the ball. Our shooting came around tonight against a very good Heritage team. They really play hard.

We had been in a shooting slump from mid-January to mid-February. We kept telling the kids to be patient. We kept hoping for a night like this and we picked a great night to do it.

We had a very poor shooting percentage. We created a lot of scoring opportunities but couldn't put many of them on the board.

We had a very nice third quarter. Our shooting came around a bit. Taylor is a tough defensive team and they play hard.

When I let it go, I thought all my shots were going in. I'm just going to keep shooting the ball and I'm going to leave it at that.

When the machine guns opened up, literally like shooting fish in a barrel, the results were particularly gruesome. The carnage continued on and off for hours. The bodies of many of the victims were literally shot to pieces.

We needed all those foul shots for sure. We obviously came up with some clutch foul shooting down the stretch. Not only that, we overcame a big East Aurora crowd and we adjusted well to what the officials were calling.

We won the Evansville game differently than we won the Missouri State game, for example. Whether it's rebounding or free throw shooting or defense or offensive execution, it's been something different each game for us.

We won the division (this way). You lose a game and have a bad shooting night and people question what you were doing. This is a guy who's an All-Star and has done so many things throughout the season there's no need to question it now.

When I heard I had gotten 'Downton Abbey,' I remember I was standing on a freezing cold street in Manchester where we were shooting the Manchester part of 'West is West.'

We were cold shooting and they really came at us with their pressure defense. They were aggressive, they kept the pressure on and that's why they are defending state champs.

We need at least two scores in the mid-70s to be competitive. All five of our starters are capable of shooting lower scores.

When we started the season, we knew this team would have trouble shooting free throws. And we did all kinds of things to try to take the kids' minds off it. Everyone on our bench knew it could come back to haunt us, and it did. I remember thinking three weeks ago, this could cost us a state championship.

When they started understanding things kind of clicked together, it showed. We started shooting the ball better. We have come a long way from the beginning of the year.

When the shooting at the JCC happened I thought, 'If I had done something after Columbine, maybe this wouldn't have happened.' And I kicked myself in the behind for not doing anything,

We made a lot of free throws tonight and that was very nice to see. We have not been the best free throw shooting team around this season, but we made them tonight when we had to.

We're sitting in a shooting gallery, with hundreds of thousands of these things whizzing around in the inner solar system. So it's just a matter of time.

We're shooting to hold our meetings earlier. We hope to start March 6, before midterm break.

We're shooting to have it as soon as possible.

We're shooting to begin surfacing in May 2006, ... Most construction should be complete by the end of 2006.

We're shooting the ball well. We're not going to rely on the three but we'll take them if they are there.

We're shooting the ball well right now. We're peaking at just the right time.

We're shooting ourselves in the foot with this thing,

We're shooting more consistently than we were last year. We just have to keep working on it.

We're shooting for this person to come on board June 12.

We're shooting for third place now. Hopefully, we can have our best game of the season.

We're shooting for major league game activity later this month.

We're shooting for 1,500 if possible. The gym holds 2,200. We'd love to sell it out. We've had a little bit more media coverage and marketing this year, so hopefully we'll have a larger turnout.

We're shooting 70-some percent on the year as a team (at the line), that's why we did that. We did a good job of getting them out of their zone. We did a good job of making them foul.

We're confident that we're capable of shooting the ball real well. We went through a period where we were pressing, we weren't getting good looks. To the guys' credit, they continued to work.

Like anywhere, we had to make people understand that we were there with good intentions, and that we were there with respect. We started making contacts with the people in the neighborhood three months before shooting began, so that everyone involved was comfortable.

Life is similar to a shooting star we just have separate paths at different speeds through the universe

Maine's won three in a row and they're shooting the heck out of the basketball. They're shooting 53 percent from three in the last three games so those guys are on fire right now. We just happened to catch those guys on two nights when they didn't shoot it very well.

Maggie and Erin have been a tremendous 1-2 punch and Taylor has stepped up to make some big shots. We're scoring a lot of points with our shooting and we've also been doing a good job forcing turnovers that have fueled our fast break.

Leon is really a highly competitive person. When he was struggling shooting free throws earlier in the year, he was getting up at 5 in the morning and going to a gym near his home and shooting free throws. Then he came up with a couple of 10-for-10 games, 10-for-12, 12-for-15. I think that's a testimony to who he is.

Lots of fun. It was probably our best performance of the year offensively. We really, really scored the ball. That was a great performance. I don't know if I've seen a shooting performance like that. Period.

Last year we didn't shave or fully taper until state and we went from being ranked in the low 20s to finishing eighth in the 200 free relay. This year, who knows how much time we can drop. I don't know if Fenwick shaved and tapered for sectionals or not - I have no idea. But we're shooting for No. 1, and I think it's an attainable goal.

Lee is one of those guys who understands scouting reports, schemes and how we are guarding. You can be rest assured that he is going to follow everything to the minute detail of what he has to do. So, forget about the shooting part of it, we have just lost maybe our best overall defender.

Lee gets a lot of credit for his perimeter shooting. Forget about the shooting part of it, we've just lost maybe our best overall defender. Lee is our most consistent, most disciplined, best defender.

Sean Miller's been shooting 80, 80 and 81. That's consistency, but it's not in the 70s.

Sean can help us with his shooting and Cyrus with his rebounding, and both can do other things. I'm just glad our freshmen can be our fifth, sixth or seventh options and not our first or second.

So I had this idea for the film but I was shooting Foreign Land and I had written 10 pages on it about what the story should be.

She's the difference between-maker between last year and this year, because her game and her shooting have improved so much.

She started shooting when she was 5 or 6 with her dad, and she's loved it since the day she started.

She was 7-8 from the line and that helped us out a great deal. She has improved her free throw shooting throughout the season.

She told me once, 'Being in the circle is a lot harder than shooting free throws'.

She thinks free throw shooting is the key to winning games and it is. We have to shoot 300 a week.

She was shooting the ball from the outside and knocking down 3s. She's becoming a more complete player.

She was putting a lot of pressure on herself in the early games. It all came together (against Pennington). She had good shots. She's gone to goal with authority before, but she was really moving the goalie and shooting where she wanted to shoot.

She was our extra scorer a lot. She's just really competitive. She was our outside threat. And we won a couple of games with her shooting free throws down the stretch.

She's a streaky shooter. She's not going to stop shooting. I just told her to quit thinking about shooting the ball and she stepped up, knocked them down and gave us a big spark.

She's a player I thought was about to explode. I could tell by the way she was shooting the ball in practice.

She's a perfectionist to a fault. She'll just keep shooting to prepare. She'll do the same thing she always does. She'll try to get into a rhythm, and I'll just try to get her to smile.

She's shooting above 35 percent from the three-point line. Our other girls are starting to look for her more often. She does a nice job of coming off screens.

She's real good at catching and shooting and shooting off the dribble. It makes a difference. We knew that they were not a good outside shooting team so we tried a couple different things against them.

She's improved her defense this year. She just needs to slow down and not try to do too much. When she takes her time and stays under control, she's capable of shooting 60 percent from the floor.

She's been playing really well for us. She's getting more confidence shooting the puck, and as a defenseman that's how you get assists. We really need her to do that.

She?s been our best defensive player all along and always gets the tough assignment, and she?s been shooting well in the playoffs.

She's going to be a good one. She's a great floor leader. When you have a lot of guns like that, you need someone to direct the shooting and she does a good job of that.

She's one of those impact players that makes them when we need them. I can't think of anybody we'd rather have shooting the ball.

She's one of those girls that when she's on, you better watch out. She doesn't have much of a conscience when she's shooting like that.

She's one of the best shooting kids we have. She's also one of our post players. But with her ability to shoot the ball, it's contagious. She's had some success and it's rubbing off on other kids.

She's okay. But it was probably her shooting arm. That's just my luck.

She's not shooting the percentage she'd like. But when it's late in the game, she puts them in.

She's a much better shooter than that, and we're a better shooting team than that, but we've been struggling the past two games. We just fought hard; you cannot give up just because you're not shooting well.

She's never been afraid to shoot. She just fires it up there and luckily, most of the time, it goes in. If she'll miss a couple of shots, she's so used to shooting that that's not going to get her down. If she misses five, the sixth one's going up. No hesitation whatsoever.

On any given day, I think anybody in the top 10 could potentially be on the podium. I definitely am shooting for a medal, and I think I can surprise some people.

Oh, yeah, I will, for sure. This won't get me down. You know that. I'll keep shooting and keep trying to make plays for my teammates.

Some associations spend too much of their time defending tradition and the status quo. Defending the status quo won't get the association anywhere no one benefits by circling the wagons and shooting inward. For members of the organization to benefit, the status quo has to be constantly challenged.

Some actors specialize in shooting weapons and punching people. Some have the market on playing buffoons cornered, others specialize in roles that require heavy makeup or outrageous wardrobe. Some trade exclusively in a post-ironic blase attitude.

Some nights are like that, especially on the drive and kick. They sucked us in and knocked down threes. It's not too many nights in the league on the road where you have shooting games like that. So you have to tip your hat off to them for all of those threes.

Shooting at Coco Chanel's apartment was an unexpectedly absorbing experience. The essence of Chanel is firmly rooted there in all of her possessions, and I truly believe that her spirit and soul still inhabit the second floor.

Shooting a season can be a grind. It can be seven to eight months of work. Once you stop, it slows down any momentum you had.

Shooting a film is like a kismet quest. You have thirty days and you need magic to happen. So that's why I wear suits. I'm praying to the gods, and I'm doing everything I can to respect the powers of the world.

Shooting 34 percent in the state basketball tournament, I don't think you're going to win a lot of games.

Shooters keep shooting. I'm not going to make every shot, but I kept shooting and I knew it was going to fall.
