Knock Quotations | Page 3

We are focused on changing the economics of mobile email adoption with Nokia Business Center. As the leading mobile phone manufacturer in the world, we have the distinct advantage of being able to make a great mobile business device that can be used to make phone calls, do email, or use other applications. Considering 70 percent of people who use popular email devices also carry a mobile phone, the opportunity for us to provide one device and solution that perfectly addresses both the voice and data experiences is tremendous. In the current landscape, many industry players are going after a slice of the potential mobile email market. Nokia is going after the full 650 million corporate email inboxes. We want to knock down the barriers to mobilizing the entire corporate email market.

He's a really good player. He can change speeds, and he can knock down the 3 or get to the basket. He's really a talented player.

Helena is a deep team and very experienced. If we knock off one or two teams in doubles we have the possibility of winning the match.

So we got to meet Kay before Karl.

Last year I missed a free throw in a game against East. Just one, but we were down by two. So every single game now, I practice my free throws. I shot about 100 free throws this morning so just in case a situation like that came up in this game, I could knock them down.

Last year I led the team in rushing and receiving. Definitely, it wasn't a knock to me that they drafted a running back. I didn't take it personally. I'm the kind of guy who needs the ball 22 times a game. Last year I was getting it 20 to 25 carries. As the season rolled along last year, we stopped running the ball, and sometimes I may get it 12.

Laurence took a heavy knock to his leg and he's been having treatment and will continue to do so.

Lately I have been getting into a rhythm and feeling it. My teammates have been looking for me and making the extra pass and I have been the beneficiary of getting a lot of late passes after teams commit and I have been able to knock them down.

A very few minor adjustments and I will knock him out this time. He knows I was winning. The world knows I was winning. I was winning with one eye.

I was a little surprised. But I understand my role on this team. I extend the defense and allow guys like David West room to operate down low and Chris Paul and Speedy Claxton to penetrate. When they get you open looks, it's up to me to knock shots down, and tonight I hit them.

I will just go out there and have a good time and just keep doing the same thing I have been doing. Go out there, hit it in the fairway, knock it on the green and make the putt. Just another day of golf, that is the way you have to look at it. That is basically all you are doing, just playing golf. Almost everybody out here does it every day so you just have to think that way.

I will say this, sometimes it's addition by subtraction. That's sort of the way it is, but I don't want to knock somebody else.

I think the most polite term that you can use is disarray ... The party apparatus seems to have taken a knockdown, if not a knock out punch.

I think there is a certain confidence level in that locker room that's hard to understand. I think it's a little more complex than just commenting on it. They've created this monster that somebody's going to have to try and knock down sooner or later. They've got this ball rolling.

Jason did all right, but he tries to overpower people and ends up falling behind. Then he puts one right over the plate, and they knock the hell out of it.

Jerry has done everything over the course of 16 years to protect that man, made accommodations for him, concessions for him. He loaned him money, at times, when he needed money. If he was any kind of a man, he would quit talking about things in the paper and return a phone call or come knock on somebody's door.

Jess was a zone buster tonight. We told her before the game to just keep shooting the ball and it was a good confidence boost for her to knock down those shots.

Our job is to try to knock them off. At least one night, we did. I'm proud of them. Those guys are celebrating, and they deserve it.

Our front line is getting the respect and it's certainly well-deserved. But our guards provide so much toughness and so many crucial baskets at key times. They knock down open shots, they provide room for Andy. They are on the floor for loose balls, charges, it's a great group.

Our front court guys have been playing great as of late, but teams are going to start to key on them. When they get doubled, the guards are going to have to knock down some shots.

Our free throws really hurt us bad. We had chances to win the game at the end, but we couldn't knock down free throws when it mattered. It was anyone's game.

Overall, a tremendous performance by Albany. They were magnificent, but I'm really proud that it didn't knock our team out. It knocked us down, but not out.

Our best players trusted that I would shoot the ball and knock down shots. It feels good and builds a team kinship that helps us now and down the line.

Rodney is a headhunter. He's a free safety. I think he is ... one of those guys who is going to come down and hit the running back in the mouth, knock a tight end out, knock a receiver out. He's one of the guys that, when you are coming across the middle, he's going to hit you, so you have to concentrate.

Religion was quite a thing in our house - we were Baptists. Some Sundays I went to church three times. If there was a talk on missionary work in the afternoon, I could be there all bloody day. But religion took its first big knock after Dad died.

Playing with her in practice, you know what she can do. You know she can rebound. You know she can guard some of those smaller post players, and obviously, she can knock down that three.
