Second Quotations | Page 6

We spent the whole second period in the box. It wears half the team down. We can't be doing that. It kills us.

We spent the last few weeks talking about how good the team's effort was and tonight was the first time that we didn't play with the effort that I felt we should have. We did some of the same things that have cost us games this year but it just looked like the energy level disappeared in the second half.

We spent some time in the box early on. We didn't have a good first period, but we made up for it in the second and third.

Where I come from and where Nick comes from, there are a lot of divorces. People are giving it a second go-around on a bunch of different levels.

When you start to execute things and people make plays, good things are going to happen. That's what we didn't do in the first half. In the second half, we did some pretty good things. Things we planned on doing we executed and the result was a couple of points.

When you start penetrating and they get up on the second level of the defense, the holes just open like sieves and your defense can be in trouble,

When you start out a tournament game like that you're in trouble. I called a 30 second timeout to explain the intricacies of basketball and how we're supposed to put the ball in the basket.

We didn't contest shots (in the first half). In the second half we contested shots and they missed.

There is no question that we will continue to see our business impacted throughout the first quarter and perhaps into the second quarter while we get this thing back on its feet,

Until the unemployment picture improves, consumers will be very cautious about their spending habits. We think the second half of the year could also be difficult for the retail industry unless the job demand improves.

We'd like to be second behind New York. Frankly, we lost a lot of our place in the theater scene, and we see 'Lord of the Rings' as a way to bring that back.

We believe that consumers are the first line of defense against price gouging. The first effort is not to (fill and) pay at gas stations if a consumer feels there is price gouging. The second effort is to report to state and local law enforcement agencies, and the third effort is to contact us.

Whether we're talking about Red Cross, or Second Harvest, Salvation Army or other groups, this is direct assistance right to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. We need to do our part at the government level, but this dramatic outpouring of support across the country to the Red Cross and other agencies, is money well spent. It's money that really is effectively cutting across a lot of red tape and helping people,

We've always been second in Rochester behind Nazareth in lacrosse, but I think we've proven we can play with them.

When we were up seven at halftime, coach told us to keep playing our game. We knew we had to keep rolling and in the second half we just shot lights out.

When we were talking to them about the marketing, I said traditional theater marketing never works for us. We need college students, we need young people who wouldn't necessarily go to Denver Center. We get a lot of people at Second City who don't know they're coming to an Actors' Equity theater. A lot of marketing we're doing is promoting Red Scare without the Second City name or the Denver Center name.

When we were going into the locker room at halftime, we heard some fans saying that we're going to fall apart in the second half. We wanted to make sure that didn't happen.

When we were down 11 at halftime, I wasn't happy; but I thought we still had a shot. We took them out of their rhythm in the second half and that was the difference.

When we went in the locker room, we said we weren't pushing. We weren't getting as hard after them as we should. In the second half, we brought the fight to them. Instead of backing down and letting them do what they want to do, we made them step up and play -- play defense and make tougher shots.

When it comes down to a last second shot, anything can happen. After the free throw, our assignments fell through and weren't executed properly.

When it came to the second reading, there was no public comment, and we felt there was no need to delay it any longer.

When it came down to it, there were three teams in the running for second place. The percentage of individual wins for Matt and Josh were higher so they took second.

When it came down to a tight match, ... Chris was the one demanding everyone step up because he doesn't like to lose, which was interesting because it was only his second year playing.

We're more focused on a first group and a second group now. It's really evolved over practice. They know what I expect and what it takes now to compete.

We're making strides. These guys could have laid down at Central. They were down by 10 early in the second half. But they battled back.

We remain on plan to begin rolling out a number of new products, including our instant single-use camera in the second half of 1998. We are confident that 1999 will be one of the company's strongest in recent years.

We remain confident of our growth outlook for the second half of 2001 and all of 2002.

We respected Rochester from the opening whistle, and they were a tough team tonight. We knew that it could go that far and I was proud of my team after conceding a goal for hanging in there. We were a little bit whipped, but we just wanted to keep our composure during the overtime and make sure we didn't give up a second goal. I'm proud of my team and pleased to be advancing.

We're slightly lower to unchanged basically for the second day in a row after a little bit of a rally. That 11,000 continues to be a key resistance area.

We're getting to the latter half of the year. and typically, the industry sells close to 20 percent more PCs in the second half versus the first half. People are getting ready in anticipation of a much stronger second half of the year.

We're going to take a second in someone's life and examine it over a couple of days. This was a tragic accident. ... Is this an accident or is this a crime?

We're going to see significant sterling weakness this year. Although the Bank of England is on hold for now the pressure is building for rate cuts in the second half of the year.

We're going to play these games in 2006. By that I mean, they're not freshmen anymore. When you play a freshman in the first or second game of the year, you kind of watch with a hand over one eye. This far along in the season, they're athletic enough, they're smart enough and they're tough enough.

We're going to need a second or third option. Tonight, as far as scoring, yeah, we did leave Quincy.

We're going to get hit just as hard the second time around.

We're going to focus on two important areas: one is verification, the second is what steps are the North Koreans taking to dismantle their nuclear weapons ? concrete steps,

What we're seeing today is a combination of lower oil prices and concern about the strength of the economy in the second quarter.

What they were doing in the first half we were doing in the second half.

When we came out at halftime, that's all we were thinking about shutting these guys out. It was like we were seven points down, that's the mentality we tried to take into the second half.

When we did shoot it, we shot it well. We got a lot of second shots.

When we came to do the take, I did it my way. I played it with all the emotional abandon I possessed and loved every second of my performance.

When we got to the second half of the year, he raised his level of play to another level. He became more of a leader out on the floor for us. He made some big plays at both ends of the floor when we needed something to happen.

When we got the kids back at halftime, we told them, 'Take a breath and relax.' They were playing all on emotion. We had a lot more focus in the second half.

When we go to our house, it's going to be a different outcome. Calhoun County played a good game. But one thing about this region, you always get a second chance.

When we got back to Philadelphia and we talked about it, we just said, we got a second chance here - we got a second chance in life, forget about basketball. It just made every guy grow up - I think every guy became a little more mature, a little more focused on what's important in life, and I think it had a cumulative effect on our team.

When we gave up those early goals, we dug ourselves a deep hole. In the games we've been down, we have played hard in the second half but never with enough urgency to get us over the top.

When we first got into foster care we said there was no way we were going to adopt. We told all of the case member right away we are just here to help out, but we adopted the first one, then the second one and so it got to the point that every time we were going to hold a family meeting, our older kids knew what we were going to say.

We were supposed to be last, or second to last. Our guys took that to heart, and knew we were better than that, and we got it done.

What a great way to finish the year, ... I really hung in well and hit a great second to the last.

What a great performance. We got a brilliant start. In the second half we pressed them and they didn't like it. We got our reward in the end.

What a difference a year can make. (Learning) comes a lot quicker the second year and the kids make improvements a lot faster.

We would therefore remain cautious about adding new money to online advertising-driven stocks until the first or second quarter, when we should have better visibility. We continue to believe that the first quarter will be the toughest quarter, with only 10 percent year-over-year growth.

We would start with the candidate sites that we looked at the first time and provide a map of the areas around the country that have the geological strata that would make those appropriate for second repositories.

We would prefer to finish second and have home-field advantage for the first round. Equally important is that we continue to find our form heading into the playoffs.

What hurt them was the 13-day layoff and they came out rusty. They played like the Scranton teams I've seen before in the second half. They made some changes, but we handled their half-court press well.

What he said didn't matter as much as how he looked. His stuff and his eyes looked like he was still in the second inning.

What he did in the second half is a result of him simply being a great player. You can only stop a great player like him for so long.

What he did great after that first inning was get the first and second guy out before giving up that hit. He's really emerged as the ace, and we're going to keep riding him.

We found out a year ago that no one can handle our press and that's how we learned to win our games. We sit back and watch how they play in the first half and in the second half is were we turn it up on them.

We found our legs, we found our game, in the third period. That's what really matters. We got the game-tying goal. The rest of the way, we battled. You could probably put a question mark on the way we came out in this game, but in the third and in overtime our effort was second to none.

We found it in ourselves in the second half. We came out and played like we knew we should.

We had 10 hits to their six in the second game, and there's no reason we should end up with a score like that with those numbers. We can't expect our pitching to carry us through these games with the support they got.

We gutted it out. We had a poor first half. But we played a lot better in the second half. We really picked up on defense and caused a lot of turnovers.

We guarded them a little harder in the second half. They made some bad passes and took some tough shots and that's where we were able to get some separation.

We grew in confidence as the second half progressed and I thought if anyone was going to win the game it was going to be us. We are reasonably happy with a point as a lot of good teams come here and don't get anything.

We graduated five starters and eight kids in all from last year's team (which made its second trip in as many years to the state playoffs). Even with that nearly every kid we have on this year's team played some varsity last season.

We got what we deserved. To start out like we did ... We didn't play well the first half, with no energy. We were a lot more aggressive the second half.

We got what we deserved today. We didn't come ready to play and we put ourselves in a big hole. We played very poorly. It was everybody. We played hard in the second half and made some good adjustments, but you can't expect to win with one decent half.

We got to where we made some better decisions as far as passes were concerned. We didn't hold the ball as much and telegraph passes. I though we had better reversal. We got out on the break a little bit better where we were able to get some better looks at the basket and not get into so many half-court sets. We do want these kids to get out and use some of their athleticism and play in the open court a little bit and I thought we did a much better job of that in the second half.

We felt like we played well in the second half against Fairfax. We were down 15 over there and came back and had a chance to tie it up.

We felt like we played a much better second half. The kids felt good about what they did.

We felt like we could play a lot better second half. We were up three, so we felt pretty good about where we were. We've been a second-half team in the last four, five or six games. We've always been able to make a push, and were able to do it again.

We felt like we came out flat in the first half. The offense felt like they had opportunities to make plays in the second half, and that's what they did.

We felt like if there was an area we could dominate, it would be the boards. It's comforting to know we don't have to shoot well and we have a chance to make second and third shots.

We felt it was important to win the title, especially after last year. It will give us momentum in the second half of the season.

We broke down all our games and, minus two of them, we had a shot to win seven of them. This would be eight. I thought we had a shot to win, but in the second half we'd get one-shot-and-out and we couldn't answer them.

We blew the game in the first half. We came out soft and sluggish. We fought back in the second half, but it is hard to fight your way back when you get behind by a lot.

We blew a huge opportunity to take a step toward second place tonight.

We blew a couple of scoring opportunities in the second half but the main thing is that we got the job done in the end. The boys have taken a lot of confidence from that although there is another tough one ahead this week.

We benefited from a positive global economic market and there is a positive environment at least through mid-year. We intend to operate as near to full capacity as we can in the second quarter.

we believe we are on track to deliver on our previously disclosed range of earnings per share of $2.58 to $2.85 during the second half of this year.

We believe we are in the second half of a semiconductor-cycle decline. The bias should be toward building positions while being price sensitive. We believe downside risk to equipment stocks is less than potential 12-18 month rewards.

What's most outrageous in our eyes is that he entered our home twice in the course of these crimes, once to take the murder weapon and arm himself and a second time after the murders in an attempt to hide the weapon and perpetrate his crime.

We're going to make an investment in Second Avenue. It would be nice if we could keep some of that. It's not going to be an eyesore. It's not going to be a stucco box. It will be wood and brick and stone. It will be a consistent addition to Second Avenue.

We're going to look at the teams who are second and third in (District 4-5A) and prepare for both of them.

We're going to hone in 95 percent of our time on George Mason. If you don't win the first one, you don't get to the second one. But if you get to the second one and you're not prepared and you don't get out of the weekend, I don't feel like that's where Michigan State is right now.

We're going to have to work on that. But I am not giving up on (Jung) yet. It's only his second arena football game.

We're going to have to be able to take control of the ball. We're going to have to be able to sustain some drives. Last year, we would have a couple of first downs and then have a fizzle, especially in the second half.

Unless the worm has already been removed from the computer, it could update itself and send out a huge package of garbage on the Internet on the 16th, ... The second time around it could cause massive damage.

Unless the international community renews its commitment to deal with the consequences of the food crisis in Niger, including the prevailing level of malnutrition, the country faces a second year of extreme suffering and hardship.

Usually, it's the opposite. Usually, we're blah in the first half and in the second half, we pick it up. This time, it was different.
