definitely great hard love people pushing time
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.
great imagine night team
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.
beat great imagine shots team
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.
along both great happened hope line loss resolved somewhere turn
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.
best bet claim close definitely great playoffs ready role step store team teams
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.
definitely felt great kurt player saw sure thomas turn
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.
earn foul heck high hopefully respect
In high school, they would foul the heck out of me and there was never a call. But you have to play through it and hopefully one day earn the respect of the refs.
bad ben early glad half hurt mild rhythm second
I just wasn't able to get into rhythm (because of early fouls). I had a lot on my mind. (The mild booing) wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I thought it would be all boos. I'm just glad (fans) cheered when I got up (after being hurt in the second half in a collision with Ben Gordon). If they had booed then I probably would have started crying.
bit granted relief rocky scare stuff time trade
I'm ready, ... It was a little bit of a scare and a rocky summer, but the time to take stuff for granted is over. There's some relief but the journey's not over. I've got to live up to the trade and the expectations.
close deal fact happen hits tough
I'm just saddened by the fact that I know him and it hits close to home, ... It's tough to deal with because it can happen to anyone.
finally huge relief sigh
It was just like a huge sigh of relief to be finally out there again.
bit granted relief rocky scare stuff time trade
I'm ready. It was a little bit of a scare and a rocky summer, but the time to take stuff for granted is over. There's some relief but the journey's not over. I've got to live up to the trade and the expectations.
frustrated happens minutes mostly nobody playing stuff
I just want to play and do think at times I'm on a shorter leash. Sometimes I do think about playing elsewhere, but that's mostly when I'm frustrated and when stuff happens to my minutes and nobody has an explanation for it.
breaking worried
I'm more worried about breaking a finger. I'm not worried about my heart.
