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.
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 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.
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.
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.
I think it's going to continue spreading throughout the league because what players are finding is once they try them they really work. It's not just a fashion thing.
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.
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.
We kind of came unglued a little bit,
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.
To win is great, but we could have easily let it go the other way. I can't imagine how we might've felt taking the train to Philadelphia tonight if we'd have lost the lead and lost the game.
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.
We definitely are playing better, but still have lapses. We still have a ways to go. As long as we go out with a high effort you never know.
We definitely didn't feel the season was over, ... We realized it was only 9 games of an 82-game season. It was definitely far from over.
