1. Phil Mickelson:

   I think the short game, when you haven't played, it's the first thing to feel uncomfortable and the quickest thing to get back, i don't think he's going to have any problems, I really don't. I think we all Phil Mickelson included have had stretches where we feel a little uncomfortable. We don't hit it solid, and usually it's just a small tweak, because it's such a short swing that it's not a hard thing to fix.

2. Donovan Mitchell:

   I feel like I was able to go back, but no need to risk it down 16, 18 at that point, it doesn’t make sense to go back out there and possibly tweak it. Just rest and get ready for the next game. Mitchell missed his first four shots, including a pair of drives to the basket, and didn’t make his first basket until there was 7:34 left in the second quarter. He then proceeded to score Utah's next 16 points, which included four 3-pointers. It was the first time in his last 23 games that Mitchell had gone scoreless in the first quarter.

3. Eric Wish:

   While the press and the media talk about Spice and K2 like it’s a single type of phenomenon, the truth can’t be further from that, basically what you have is some chemist in another country, oftentimes the DEA says it’s China, who waits and they see what has been put on the prohibited list by the government. And then they go ahead and they tweak the molecule a little so it’s no longer on the prohibited list and then they make it available.

4. Ramit Sethi:

   It's not going to work perfectly the first time. It's a system that you're going to continually tweak, but overall, you're going to start to get a sense for how it works and what you need to change. And then you just make the change each month after that.

5. Vishnu Varathan:

   Global demand continues to be weak and for a country like Singapore that is open, it shows very, very quickly and rapidly, they certainly have room to tweak the policy but the question is one of prudence - would they indeed be prudent to do so? After Brexit we think there is a small possibility.
