best bet claim close definitely great playoffs ready role step store team teams
I think myself and this team are definitely in store for a great season. We're ready to step up and claim that role of being one of the best teams in the East. That's pretty close to a guarantee. I don't make guarantees, but if I wanted to bet, I'd bet we'd make the playoffs this year.
along both great happened hope line loss resolved somewhere turn
I hope so. I don't really know what happened with the sit-down, but I hope it can be resolved because both of them are great guys. They're both competitors, and I just think somewhere along the line there was a loss of communication, and it just didn't turn out the right way.
evident leader needed
He's the leader of this team, and when he wasn't out there it was evident that we needed him.
definitely great hard love people pushing time
I'm definitely going to love my time here in New York, ... We've got a great team. We have a great coach. Any time you have people like that pushing you to be better, it's hard for you to do otherwise.
frustrated happens minutes mostly nobody playing stuff
I just want to play and do think at times I'm on a shorter leash. Sometimes I do think about playing elsewhere, but that's mostly when I'm frustrated and when stuff happens to my minutes and nobody has an explanation for it.
earn foul heck high hopefully respect
In high school, they would foul the heck out of me and there was never a call. But you have to play through it and hopefully one day earn the respect of the refs.
games
For the most part we weren't even in some of the games we lost.
coach definitely perfection point style totally trying
I definitely see that out here in his coaching, ... He really stresses perfection out there for the bigs and for his point guards. Totally different style from what coach Skiles did. It's two different coaches, so I'm just trying to get used to everything and just take it all in.
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.
certainly doctors eventually finally healthy hoping knew nobody truth waiting
I certainly didn't tell nobody anything about what the doctors were doing and what they were finding. I didn't even know what they were finding. All I knew is that I was healthy and I was waiting and hoping that the truth would eventually come out like it's finally doing.
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.
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.
coming definitely everybody main wants
It's definitely frustrating, but it's going to make me better in the long run. Everybody's coming at me from all different angles. But everybody wants me to do well, and that's the main thing.
add against best centers good guys league
It's been good to go against guys like that and play well. But I still have a long way to go. Those are two of the best doing it right now. When you add Yao Ming and Jermaine O'Neal into the mix, those are the best centers in the league right now, so they are the guys you really want to play well against.
