Mike Doherty

What they've done here is incredible. They kept the Frank Lloyd Wright facade. And they kept a great number of guest rooms the same. They redid everything, of course, but when they built hotels in 1956 they built big guest rooms. They kept the concrete block and just put in the new retro stuff. Even when I was here the historical society was constantly visiting, wanting to know what we were doing and wanting to make sure we kept the place intact.

Pete Witte

We found out that one address was the source of 200 police calls in one year. That property was public enemy No. 1. When the city went inside, they found an illegal auto repair shop, mattresses in a storage section of the building that had condoms and needles all over them.

If we can do that, our offense will be more effective.

Charlie Munger

A board member should be perfectly willing to leave at any time and willing to make the tough calls.

Ozzie Guillen

When we were really struggling, you didn't see guys get two hits in a game. Any time someone got one hit, one walk -- nobody could put it together.

Tim Salmon

When we were coming up, it was kind of a retooling thing and we were filling in with whatever you could fill in with. (Now) you've got a good ownership that's not only going to allow those guys to play, but they're going to bring in the pieces and make it competitive and allow them to win.

We respect Band Aid's ability to raise so much money for relief efforts, but their lyrics seem so misguided and inappropriate.

Lorenzo Carmon

We're going to the end of the lines and working in. There's still design to be done, but if folks aren't interested, we'll scale the project back.

A lot of marketing we're doing is promoting Red Scare without the Second City name or the Denver Center name.

Cedric Redmond

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.

Jermaine Spencer

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.

Ed Huydic

When we win and look good winning, it's because we've got some transition and we're knocking some perimeter shots down. We did not have the kind of transition night I wanted but we did stick some shots from the perimeter when we had to.

We responded particularly well tonight. When things didn't go our way, we didn't go into one of our tremendously long droughts and hang our heads and look defeated. We did the reverse. We picked it up on defense and blocked some shots and got out in the open floor.

We're so uptight half the darn time. And you can't blame us. We're playing at a level where we had three big games against three great teams and we needed to play hard.

We've asked all our section pros to put their program up on the Web site and I'm really, really excited the way they're starting to get involved.

Marty Schottenheimer

When I was playing, it was 10 or 12 plays that determined the outcome of a game. Now, because of the balance of talent in the league, it's come down to three or four plays a game.

We haven't been able to do that, in a number of cases but we just keep chipping at it, trying to find a way to turn that corner.
