I understand the boos. It was one of the toughest things I had to do leaving here. I am also very excited about where I am now.
people can start looking at me as a basketball player and not a patient.
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.
Sometimes it's hard to tell, but I feel like I'm definitely getting better. I'm learning more than I've ever learned. Now it's just a matter of time before I can incorporate that into what I'm doing on the court.
This is a big year not just for me but for everybody. If we have the same kind of year as last year, a lot of us won't be here.
As long as we don't have any big injuries, we should be fine. Start coming together, eventually we'll start winning.
As long as I'm able to walk, and run up and down the court, I'm going to definitely try to give it all I got. I'll be 100 percent real soon.
That's just how things happened. I think in the long run, New York is going to come out on top.
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.
Those are some of the things we weren't doing when we were losing.
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.
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 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.
I'm more worried about breaking a finger. I'm not worried about my heart.
