Shots Quotations | Page 3

We're looking for everybody who plays in the midfield and the front line to get shots on goal and hopefully score some.

We've got excellent scorers. Why do they need me to take shots away from them? I know what I need to do to help this team.

We've tried to shave maybe 10 or 15 seconds off each shot, and we're pretty close, ... It's gotten to the point where I'm not in violation when I'm hitting shots like I probably would have been a few months ago.

The more innocent they are, the more they deserve to be shot.

I usually wouldn't be this close to you without a tetnus shot.

We have to have all five players on the court and be aware of where she is. She can get shots in a variety of ways, and everybody has to be aware of her presence. The biggest thing we need to do against her is get to her before she has the basketball. If you prevent her from getting the basketball you can get under her skin and limit her production.

We have to get some shots to go in. We haven't shot 40 percent yet in five league games. That's pretty difficult to weather.

We have to get more traffic, simple plays, with more pucks on the net. Simple shots can work sometimes.

We have to get close to 40 shots again and keeping pounding the puck. Fancy passing plays, those things are not going to get it done. We have to keep driving the net and find a way to score goals.

We have to finish. We missed a breakaway, we had two center shots and we had one that hit the post. If we make those, the game is over.

When you score that little in a quarter, it's probably part defense and part you're missing some shots that you normally make. So we're not going to pound ourselves on the chest because I remember three or four they had right in a row at the basket over our midgets where the ball just happened to fall out. We try to play good defense yet we understand how good of an offensive team they are.

When your shots don't fall, you just have to go get offensive rebounds and keep working hard.

When your perimeter shots aren't falling, you've got to attack the basket. We wanted to try to pound the ball inside.

When he gets his shots within the flow of the offense, he's good.

We were big shots down there in the cellar of The Enterprise building. My father and the older Charlie Fuller were good friends.

We were beat in every aspect of the game, rebounding especially. We gave them three and four shots on several possessions and you can't be successful when you let that happen. The fact that we couldn't buy a basket didn't help either.

We were a lot looser tonight than we were the last time we played them. We moved the ball well and got some good shots and made them. It was entirely different than that first game.

We were trying to run at him and make him get the ball to someone else to make some shots but he's very good. He scores the basketball when he has the ball in his hands, and he's very quick and he's very athletic and it's tough to keep the ball out of his hands.

We were trying to go to him, inside or outside. He was very aggressive and his shots were falling, so we were going to keep going to him until he tired himself out.

We were trying to get the ball to Brittany Brooks, our best 3-point shooter who has hit big shots all year. We didn't execute as I had hoped, but we had chances. Pretty much everybody on the floor had a chance at tying it up, and we just didn't finish them.

We were trying a bunch of different combinations of kids, so we were clunky - shots wouldn't fall, it was real physical, and there was lots of slapping and reaching. We played reasonably well, but never got into a rhythm. Amanda Johns did a great job off the bench. Sometimes when your starters are having off nights, it's nice to have players who can help out.

Have them all shot. I don't want any of my workers dissatisfied.

They really are bad shots.

You never open your mouth until you know what the shot is.

If there is such a thing as karma, let's hope that Sarah Palin comes back as a wolf being shot at from a plane.

A flu shot is the worst thing you can do.

A flu shot just compromises your immune system.

90 percent of the time the terms are misused or unnecessary. Not every image obtained from a computer is a screen shot.

Kazemi has to understand that nobody is going to tell him he has to go back to Iran if he misses a shot.

We were definitely in drought conditions. It's nice to get little shots of precipitation instead of one big gulp, which we really don't need. This will really help the farmers out.

It is as big a mistake to turn down a good shot as it is to take a bad one

Dallas is where Kennedy was shot, and that's where I was put in jail.

Serving in Congress is like having a second shot at high school.

A lot of tournaments that I can remember I made a few bad shots and I was afraid I would lose the tournament and it seemed to work, the putts seemed to go in. Just the Desire.

We achieved our goal with the Ignite ball by offering the serious player easier access to 3-piece performance. This ball is perfect for the player who is looking for lower spin and maximum distance. We also believe that it will instill confidence in players' attempts to shape shots so that they can reach greens in regulation and, ultimately, attack pins.

We always feel that we want to get to the free-throw line and, in big games, it comes up. We had good shots at it. It just didn't go in.

We altered a lot of shots. The shots we did not block, I think they (Kennedy) were, I don't want to use the word intimidated, but they had second thoughts in their mind and adjusted their shots.

I've got to work really hard and I know exactly what I've achieved because I know how hard I've worked, and I make sure to work as hard as I absolutely possibly can, because I know that's the only shot I have at being successful.

I have a lot of confidence in my shot and I'm willing to shoot it no matter what.

This was a solid win. In a close game, we did a good job of executing in the last four minutes of the fourth quarter and overtime. All of our shots were within four feet.

This was a slow-paced game compared with what we played on Monday. We missed some shots that I don't think we should be missing at this point in the season ... (but) I liked some of the looks we had defensively.

This was as hot as it's ever been. We made big shots when we had to.

This was as dead as we've been in a month. I don't remember us playing this poorly. We had no work ethic. Their workers controlled the hockey game. Our goaltender was outstanding, but when you go on the road and allow almost 50 shots on goal, it's not good.

We did hit a rough stretch and I don't think we're still completely over it. But we're starting to hit more shots and one thing that showed throughout the tournament is we've been pretty good defensively.

We did have some quality shots and he made some saves.

We did have several opportunities to tie the score. Unfortunately, the ball just didn't bounce our way. We had a couple of good looks, shots didn't go in and we had a couple of turnovers. We were never able to get over that hump.

We did great as a team and proved to be a good team. We missed some easy shots that could have won us the game. However, I'm tremendously proud of the team and they played with great heart.

We did good. Matt (Mitchell) had a little trouble today, but the other guys stepped up and improved today. The score stayed within three shots of (Wednesday). One guy struggled, but the other guys came through. It turned out to be just as good.

We did get in foul trouble in that third quarter but I thought the kids who came in did a good job. Give Clark County credit; they made big shots and we didn't. We only shot 40 percent, which is very uncharacteristic for us.

We did exactly what we wanted to do. The pace was what we wanted, we rebounded the ball pretty well and didn't give them many second-chance opportunities. I told the kids we dictated the tempo, we just had to make shots and we didn't.

We did exactly what we wanted in the first half, but they hit their first three shots of the second half, and that seemed to give them confidence.

We did everything right. We waited for screens, and in the entire game, we took one or two bad shots at most.

Whenever I catch a chunk of an Adam Sandler comedy on cable, it looks as badly shot and goofily tossed off as a Jerry Lewis gag reel once he hit the late downslide with 'Hardly Working' and 'Cracking Up.'

There are no actors. Everybody in photographs are real Sox fans, shots we picked up at games.

We defended him as hard as we could; but he made a lot of tough shots in the paint against us.

We're playing good defense right now. But, the main thing is that we've been shooting the ball a lot better than we had been. The last two games I think we hit 15 threes (and) that helps loosen things up inside. We have to have an inside presence in order to get open shots outside against Sioux Falls.

We're playing good defense, but our offense is struggling. They hit some big shots at the end, and that's what it boils down to.

We tried to challenge their shots and not give them any easy shots. We were able to defend and not break down.

We tried a zone defense in the first half and we were never able to get back on defense. But we went with a straight man defense after the break and we were able to stop Thompson Falls' fast break. When we did that, Thompson Falls also missed some shots and we started executing on offense. Once we started to get some shots falling, we just exploded.

We've been joking with him because he's gotten extremely close in a bunch of games. He's in a great rhythm. He knows where shots are coming from, he knows where the assists are coming from, how to set the table. It's fun to watch.

We've been in every game in the first have in the last few games. We've executed, made good shots and played pretty good defense. We tend to take a beating and get worn down against bigger teams, though.

We've been hitting our foul shots the last few weeks. That came in handy today because Old Bridge kept coming at us. We could never put the hammer down on them because Bennett and the other guys kept knocking down shots.

We thought we could take some shots in the air. We're an experienced team and we took our chances.

We really had to work her in and out. Michelle Dirks did a great job, got a few rebounds, hit her free throws, a few shots ... Our bench hadn't scored any points in the tournament so far and we challenged those kids today ... They're a huge reason we won this game.

We really had to step up and challenge our guys. In the second half, we were able to hit some shots against the zone, and that opened things up for us.

We really got their attention tonight at halftime. We knew going into the game that they (UTA) was a good rebounding team. Early in the game, we were not getting out and contesting shots and they responded by shooting 62 percent.

We really feel good about what we are doing right now. We played Montrose in the semifinals in our tournament. We hit all those shots to come back and win by three.

We ran that spread offense pretty well, I thought. We got some good shots out of that and it is designed to take time off the clock and to get good shots.

We ran some plays for him, and he made some tough shots in traffic.

We ran our offense to get open shots and it finally paid off. I wanted the girls to recover from those two losses as a team, and I think we showed we can play team basketball.

We held them down in the second half and it showed. They (the thunderbirds) played their three-quarter court press to slow us down, but there was only a couple of times when we did. We continued to attack well and hit the shots we needed.

We held them a long time without a basket. They rushed shots and took bad shots, which was what we wanted.

We held Jon under his average both games this year and still came up short. We just didn't hit the shots down the stretch.

We held Diggs to 16 points, so we did a good job on him, but that Dykstra has one of the prettiest shots I have ever seen. I felt like we defended him pretty well, but he scored 29 points, so I guess I can't say we held him down.

We held a really good team to only 23 shots and still couldn't win. We'll be talking about that, too.

Yesterday I walked off feeling I'd left some shots out there,

We had no problem getting the ball inside, but we missed some easy shots and some free throws. We were 4-8 from the free throw line. We didn't get to the line enough.

We did pretty much what we wanted to on offense. Their goalie did a real nice job though, we must have had about 50 shots against them.

We did pack them for a manageable score, but lost track by playing some poor shots but such things happen in one-day cricket.

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 want to get blown out on national TV. I just wanted to be assertive and just try to hit the open shots and drive to the basket, which I'm always capable of doing. So the MVP was never in my mind; just winning the ballgame.

We didn't tell them anything they didn't already know. We felt like we needed to be more aggressive. We did catch a little life there towards the end of the second quarter, but we weren't being aggressive at either end. We were settling for 3-point shots and needed to attack the rim a little more.

We didn't take the shots away. When you allow (shooters) to get going early and feel about themselves, you're in for a long night.

We have really come together as a team, and Roger did a good job of finding the open man. Daniel (Thomason) made some huge shots, and others knocked down big shots for us as well.

We've started taking care of the ball in the last couple weeks. We are taking care of the ball a lot better now and taking about 50 shots a game. That number is way up from our earlier games. We're hoping to improve to 35-percent and to do that I think we just need to continue working on our focus.

We've shot like 50 or 60 shots against them before and the score ends up 2-0 or 3-1. We know she can be on her game and she can hurt us.

We have so many great scorers that I just got down low in rebounding position and luckily the ball bounced my way. I had missed a couple of close shots early and Coach (Duane Witter) told me to take my time. I took a little more time and got them to fall.

There is definitely an increasing level of tensions down here and the harpooners are certainly starting to take shots that perhaps a week or two weeks ago they would not have taken.

We usually create our own luck with defensive intensity, creating turnovers. We got none of that and when we didn't get anything done in the first quarter it was like panic set in. We were waiting for the other shots to fall and didn't create our own luck.

We settled for jump shots in the second half. We didn't play with the same composure the last five minutes.

We settled for a lot of jump shots and didn't get to the free-throw line. We didn't get the ball inside enough.

We're just trying to get as much of shots as possible,

I don't care! I don't have to show anybody my games just because they're a big shot!

We're looking to see who the guys are that are going to step up and take some more shots on goal.

We're hitting shots and we're getting our confidence back. We just have to be able to pay attention to the little details. The last game and a half, that's what we've been doing minimizing our mistakes and making good shot selections.

We're happy because we're playing really, really well. We're creating and taking open shots and we're running the offense.

We've taken some shots for us not having enough energy. That's not going to be the case anymore.

I went hunting, I shot a deer, and it mortified me. I just couldn't do it again.

When he has his first three or four shots with nobody near him, and he makes those. Then it doesn't matter who's on him after that. They did a good job finding him, setting good picks for him.

When your defense falls, sometimes your offense can be part of the problem. We were taking some questionable shots that were leading to easy transition baskets on their end.
