I've never been part of a situation like that -- and I'm sure I've never heard anybody in professional sports make a comment so negative that early in the season,
When you have a young team like we do, the No. 1 thing they have to learn is how to compete.
When you look up at the schedule, all you look at is the win total. When you really break it down, you're going to say two of their seven wins are against the Hawks.
We got some good looks at some shots, but they just didn't go down. Had they, we would have put some pressure on their team.
Being around the league for a long time, who's to say whether it's a charge or not. The reality of it is, 14 seconds to go, the seven-foot guy falling like he got shot with a gun. Normally that doesn't warrant a call.

Winning is the cure all. Sometimes when you're losing things aren't as bad as they seem. Sometimes when you're winning things are not as good. It's only one game but hopefully it's something we can build on.
I'd be lying to say it doesn't add to it to be going to New York. Every player, when they step into the Garden, there's a different bounce to that arena, a different atmosphere, a different feeling being in New York ... I'm definitely going to be a little bit nervous and excited about playing my first game there.
