Block Quotations | Page 5

She's been around the block a couple of times and hasn't been able to break through. Shannon and I finally captured musically what she is all about. We wrote some big old hits. Her head's in the right place, and she's going to come out and absolutely rock 'n' roll.

She's one of the best players in the country. You look at her and think she's like 5-foot or 5-2, I can block her shot. But she's got a lot of heart. She can hit the 3 ... and she's so quick and she's got a great handle with the ball. She can drive inside the 3, and she's looking to pass too.

'Shun security,' I advise aspiring novelists when they complain to me that they are stuck. 'Get disoriented. Maybe your agonizing writing block isn't agonizing enough. Your enemy is comfort.'

She does a nice job of protecting the basket and can block some shots.

She has a great ability to block your shot. You just have to try to get her up in the air and adjust your shot around her.

She brings a lot of versatility. Down on the block she has her post moves but she can also step out and take people to the free throw line with her 15-foot jumper. We haven't drawn up the game plan yet. First, though, we're going to try to limit her touches. We don't want her to get the ball.

Of course I lie to people. But I lie altruistically -- for our mutual good. The lie is the basic building block of good manners. That may seem mildly shocking to a moralist -- but then what isn t?

No one is more disappointed than me in the performance we had on Saturday. As a head coach, the buck stops with me, and you are always searching for answers.

No one has been able to block him in this league for a year and a game.

My cure for writer's block is to step away from the thing I'm stuck on, usually a novel, and write something totally different. Besides fiction, I write poetry, screenplays, essays and journalism.

More times, that will be less successful for them than Courtney on the block going one-on-one.

People with this disability find it very hard to block out competing noises. For example, if a person with this disability was having a conversation with another person, and a fan was blowing in the room, the person with the disability might not be able to block out the fan and lose the conversation. A noisy class environment could make it tough.

Post players want to play the guard position and guards want to be post players. Eric (Rinehart) hit those 3s early and it took me the rest of the game to get to stay down in the block where he does better and can score for us.

One thing I noticed working in the Bronx is that leaders come in the craziest places. They don't always show up at community board meetings. Sometimes it's just the guys on the corner that the boys on the block respect.

I'd like to see every Brooklyn organization raising funds for the relief effort, ... Brooklyn book clubs, sports teams, block associations, business and professional associations, schools, libraries, houses of worship, and any other forum where Brooklynites come together can all join in and make a difference.  I would also like to see all Brooklyn restaurants donate a percentage of their receipts for a week to the relief effort. Right now, donations of money are most urgently needed.  As the rescue and recovery progresses, there will be many other needs, and we will continue to respond as those needs become clear.  Brooklynites can be counted upon to come to the aid of our southern neighbors and we will be there for the long haul.

I'd like to say we made him into a player. But we didn't. We showed him how to block and who to block and he took it from there. He's just a natural.

I don't know what it is. For whatever reason, they find ways to beat us. They're just a very athletic team. I'm not quite sure if there's another team in the NBA as athletic as those guys. They're all 6-8 and they all block shots, they all rebound, they all get out on the break, they all handle the ball, they all make shots. You have to give those guys credit.

Given that HA is responsible for so much pathology in the lung, if we could identify the mechanism for how that happens and then block it, perhaps it would be useful for antiviral development. With the identification of the polymerase genes contributing to disease, that represents another set of genes that might also be a good target for prophylactic and therapeutic interventions.

For Scary Movie 2, we had a due date and had to work fast. And though there's a lot of pressure, as artists, we just block it out. So really, the pressure comes from us. That's how the first movie happened. There was no outside pressure: we wanted to hit the audience hard.

Fullbacks usually look where they're going because they've got a big block to make. That's something you learn in Pop Warner: to read the back's eyes (before the snap).

Fundamentals are the key. Defensively, we work on tackling and block defeat. Those are the two things we have to work on every day. Any good defense does those things every day. Offensively, we have to work on blocking and protecting the football. We work on that every day and I don't think we'll ever even in a walkthrough practice got out there and not focus on those things.

I don't story board. I do something else, which is, I block it. We then train to the blocking.

I don't think it was a good call. Seth's played that block all year. He's a nine-year veteran. He's not going to make a (mistake) like that at that time of the game.

I don't think it's realistic to expect someone to snap (with his left hand) and also be able to block with that right hand. I think we're going to be patient, let it heal and then it depends on what kind of restricted device on that hand.

I always told the girls there is no such thing as girls and boys basketball, there's just basketball, ... I told them to be physical and block out. There is only one way to play the game. One of the reasons is hopefully I was non-sexist. I taught them to play the game the same way I taught the boys. We were one of the first teams to play up-and-down, in-your-face defense. I used the same approach with the girls as I did with the boys' team.

He had missed an extra point early. We practice that extra point field goal block twice a week in practice. I felt confident the guys would get it done.

He has the whole package wrapped in one - he can shoot, dribble, pass, rebound, block shots. He can do it all. It will be a long time before another guy like that comes along here.

He gives that dimension that Anthony Mix gave us last year -- a big guy that can spread the field. He's got good hands, but he can run block too.

He does have that ability (intimidation). He's a basket presence defender, but we don't want to get him to block to many shots because when you block a lot of shots it comes with a lot of whistles.

He does an amazing job. Even if you dunk on him he tries to get back and block the next one.

He maintains great leverage and block protection. He's got a nose for the ball and just makes plays out there.

He made a big play to block the kick to extend last week's game in overtime. What he did today was come up with the signature play of the game. His best times are ahead of him.
