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.
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.
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.
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.
To win is great, but we could have easily let it go the other way. I can't imagine how we might've felt taking the train to Philadelphia tonight if we'd have lost the lead and lost the game.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It was just like a huge sigh of relief to be finally out there again.
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'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.
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.
I'm more worried about breaking a finger. I'm not worried about my heart.
