We weren't really making a lot of shots. They weren't really making a lot of shots. I can imagine how it was for the fans, but for us to be the team that was on top, it was a great night for us.
We weren't making shots and they weren't making shots, so I couldn't imagine how it was for a fan, ... For us to beat a team that was on top, it was a great win.
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.
I hope so. I don't really know what happened with the sit-down, but I hope it can be resolved because both of them are great guys. They're both competitors, and I just think somewhere along the line there was a loss of communication, and it just didn't turn out the right way.
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.
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.
We've got to be able to play well the whole game. We can't go up 25 on a team and let them get back in. We've got to try to be consistent the whole game. I mean the win was great, but we could have very easily let it go the other way at the end of the game.
With coach Brown things are liable to change at any moment. You never really know, ... If you're not playing hard or he feels you're not doing the right thing, he's going to get you out. It's ultimately up to him to decide who he wants in the game.
We kind of came unglued a little bit,
This was really frustrating. The load is extremely heavy on everybody.
Every time I got the ball I tried to make something happen.
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.
We have a chance to do something special for Chicago and we are not taking that for granted.
Winning is going to cure a lot of the things that we're going through as a team, so it makes some of the little stuff seem small, like it should be. If we continue to play the way we're playing, it's going to be a real good new year for us.
