It's frustrating. We don't play Phoenix many times, so it's kind of hard to adjust to their style of play.
It's very special for me to come and see them play.
I'm just trying to play hard. I'm just proving a point to myself that I can play in this league.
I've had two unlucky injuries that are the equivalent of walking under 1,000 ladders and seeing 1,000 black cats.
Milwaukee is different from what I'm used to. It's cold and it's much more of an old town, a traditional city. When I first got here, compared to the cities I'm used to, Milwaukee was the complete opposite. It took awhile but I'm adjusted to it now.
I'd rather have this win and not score much. Personal accolades at this time of the year don't really matter.
I'm just happy to be a part of the weekend. To be an All-Star is something very special, and that will take a couple years. It might not happen next year, it might happen the year after ? but it's definitely a goal I have in my sights.
We come out soft. Every team that has come in here has probably run the first quarter.
We have the toughest team in the league. But we've got the mind-set we can win.
We put ourselves in a position to make a move and then it collapses. It's never ending.
We didn't want him to go off for 50, but he shot the ball so well coming out that it's was kind of hard to stop him. Other guys didn't get involved in the second half and that keyed us.
You have to be smart the way you play him; he shoots the ball so well. You have to go in there and play with energy, try to take him out of his game. But it's going to be tough.
We've beaten Dallas and some other teams when we've had guys out. Every week there's a different guy out. We're used to it now and guys are getting used to stepping up. So it hasn't been a problem for us but it would be definitely better to have (Ford back).
We've got to win. These are our rivals, New Jersey, Chicago and Philly.
