They shot the ball well early. What comes out of the microwave hot doesn't always stay hot. I know, because I eat bagels in the morning.

I guess this was his first shot at getting something big,

One lucky shot deserves another.

My father made me who I am. He gave me a basketball and told me to play with the ball, sleep with the ball, dream with the ball. Just don't take it to school. I used it as a pillow, and it never gave me a stiff neck.

We feel if we stay poised and move the ball, we'll get the shot we want. There's no need to force anything.

When you flop, that's just another message that you don't know how to play me. Stand up and take your medicine like a man.
