I definitely knew he was who they were going to. The game dictates when you have to step up and make a big play. It was great team effort. That's what we need to win games.
The only thing I wanted in free agency was an opportunity to continue to chase that dream and continue to win championships.?
Yeah, I paint in my spare time, just to relax myself and wind down a bit.
I'm ecstatic that this contract is done. To know that I will be in Chicago for the next six years is definitely a dream.
I'm definitely feeling a lot better, a lot more comfortable out there. I feel like every time I step out there I'm going to be aggressive. I just have to be a little more aggressive and help my team out so we can get some victories. But it definitely feels good to be playing with confidence again.
I'm pretty glad nothing happened. We've started to turn a corner, and it will be interesting to see how far we can take it. It should be a fun rest of the season.
I'm just coming out aggressive. Once you have confidence, you're able to do everything out there. I think everybody right now has confidence, and we're kind of rolling together.
It's tough. I'm sad to see him go.
We just need to play our game and beat teams that beat up refs.
We were feisty out there, but they just hit some tough shots to win.
You can never say what you would do until it happens to you. I wouldn't say I would have done the same thing or that I would have done it differently. The only thing I can say is that your family means the most to you. And when you see something like that happen, it's just instinct to go up there and protect your family.
We've had a lot of ups and downs ? guys injured and guys trying to feel their way around. I think right now, every guy on the court is finding their way.
As long as we compete like we're on the outside looking in, we'll be fine; no team in this league can be taken lightly. I'm going to continue to guarantee it. My mind's not going to change.
Coach pretty much addressed us and told us we needed to step it up. We kind of took that to heart. A lot of it we've been getting in extra on our own. It's really been great.
