court learn player struggling switch totally trying turn
I know I have to learn how to turn it on and off. I have to learn to be a totally different player on the court than I am off the court. That's kind of what I'm struggling with right now, just trying to find that switch so I can turn it on and off.
bad coach coaching effort heard leave loss team time
Any time a coach addresses a team after a loss like this, it's disappointing. We've got to leave the coaching to them and the effort is up to us. The bad part is, we've heard this before.
excuse happen throw
Sometimes they will look away from me. When I do get the ball, I try to make something happen so they don't have an excuse not to throw me the ball.
closer definitely happen imagine nervous playing reason starting tomorrow
I definitely didn't imagine playing there in another uniform, but things happen for a reason and we're going there tomorrow and try to get a win. I'm starting to get a little nervous as we come closer to tomorrow's game, but I'll be OK.
playing team
It's part of the whole process, I think. At this point, I can't see myself playing for any team but Chicago. But it's pretty much out of my hands.
both nice reason tonight whatever win
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.
bright continues david presents pressure problem spots
David presents a problem out there. I think as he continues to get better, he's going to take a lot of pressure off everybody. He's one of the bright spots on this team.
brown change coach decide feels hard liable playing ultimately wants
With coach Brown things are liable to change at any moment. You never really know, ... If you're not playing hard or he feels you're not doing the right thing, he's going to get you out. It's ultimately up to him to decide who he wants in the game.
extremely heavy load
This was really frustrating. The load is extremely heavy on everybody.
basketball definitely good journey trade trust
There definitely is some kind of relief, but my journey is not over, ... I'm going to have even more expectations to live up to the trade and Isiah's trust in me to come here and be a good basketball player.
continue cure good seem stuff winning year
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.
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.
consistent easily mean team win
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.
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.
