We got off to a great start. They were feeding off the emotion from the crowd I think. It was great to see Jake hit some shots. He's been struggling lately and to see him shoot like that was fun to watch.

When he came here and turned the program around, I'm talking about the whole city has galvanized behind him. The thing I like about it is he really brought the city together, the black and the white.

Whoever is had (as it is called) in company for the sake of any one thing singly, is singly that thing, and will never be considered in any other light; consequently never respected, let his merits be what they will.
