Sometimes it's hard to tell, but I feel like I'm definitely getting better. I'm learning more than I've ever learned. Now it's just a matter of time before I can incorporate that into what I'm doing on the court.
When I saw Burke come in, I definitely felt like things were (about) to turn around for me a little bit. I'm sure he's a great player and everything but I think the refs let Kurt Thomas get away with a little more than Burke can.
There definitely is some kind of relief, but my journey is not over, ... I'm going to have even more expectations to live up to the trade and Isiah's trust in me to come here and be a good basketball player.
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.
We definitely are playing better, but still have lapses. We still have a ways to go. As long as we go out with a high effort you never know.
Yeah, I definitely sensed that. And that's why I was so adamant about getting back and trying to help the team as much as possible. I realize I don't have to score to help them, my presence alone, just me being so big and taking up space helps them out a lot.
We definitely didn't feel the season was over, ... We realized it was only 9 games of an 82-game season. It was definitely far from over.
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.
When he's not out there, I think the other team definitely relaxes a little bit.
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.
That's definitely my goal for next year, to average a double-double. I know if I can go out there and get a double-double every game, more than likely we're going to win. That's what I'm going to try to do.
I definitely see that out here in his coaching, ... He really stresses perfection out there for the bigs and for his point guards. Totally different style from what coach Skiles did. It's two different coaches, so I'm just trying to get used to everything and just take it all in.
I definitely didn't imagine playing there in another uniform, but things happen for a reason and we're going there tomorrow and try to get a win. I'm starting to get a little nervous as we come closer to tomorrow's game, but I'll be OK.
I'm definitely going to love my time here in New York, ... We've got a great team. We have a great coach. Any time you have people like that pushing you to be better, it's hard for you to do otherwise.
