I think myself and this team are definitely in store for a great season. We're ready to step up and claim that role of being one of the best teams in the East. That's pretty close to a guarantee. I don't make guarantees, but if I wanted to bet, I'd bet we'd make the playoffs this year.
It's definitely frustrating, but it's going to make me better in the long run. Everybody's coming at me from all different angles. But everybody wants me to do well, and that's the main thing.
It's been good to go against guys like that and play well. But I still have a long way to go. Those are two of the best doing it right now. When you add Yao Ming and Jermaine O'Neal into the mix, those are the best centers in the league right now, so they are the guys you really want to play well against.
As long as we don't have any big injuries, we should be fine. Start coming together, eventually we'll start winning.
As long as I'm able to walk, and run up and down the court, I'm going to definitely try to give it all I got. I'll be 100 percent real soon.
That's just how things happened. I think in the long run, New York is going to come out on top.
I've got bruises and scratches and all kinds of stuff. Sometimes they don't go away. I'm still feeling stuff from last year. That's how it is. When you play so many games, things carry over. Normally, after the season, it takes three or four weeks before you're back to feeling normal.
It's only been two games. We've been through ups and downs with every player over minutes. That's just a natural thing on any team. We still have good chemistry and a good group. We just need to win a couple of games.
It would have been nice to get this win for both him and for Herb. But for whatever reason we just didn't have it tonight - like a lot of other nights.
I understand the boos. It was one of the toughest things I had to do leaving here. I am also very excited about where I am now.
There was a lot of nervousness before the game, a lot of buildup, but overall I felt good.
It was just like a huge sigh of relief to be finally out there again.
This is a big year not just for me but for everybody. If we have the same kind of year as last year, a lot of us won't be here.
It's part of the whole process, I think. At this point, I can't see myself playing for any team but Chicago. But it's pretty much out of my hands.
