I'm ready, ... It was a little bit of a scare and a rocky summer, but the time to take stuff for granted is over. There's some relief but the journey's not over. I've got to live up to the trade and the expectations.

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.

People can start looking at me as a basketball player and not a patient.

We have a chance to do something special for Chicago and we are not taking that for granted.

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.

When he's not out there, I think the other team definitely relaxes a little bit.

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.

That's just how things happened. I think in the long run, New York is going to come out on top.

For the most part we weren't even in some of the games we lost.

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.

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 felt in the previous two games, we played pretty well. Down the stretch, we kind of gave the games away. Tonight, we found ourselves in the same position and we just didn't let this one slip.

Nobody really knows anything. Right now, we're just all praying for him and hoping everything turns out for the best.

I'm more worried about breaking a finger. I'm not worried about my heart.

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.
Eddy Curry
-
I felt pretty good out there. It was a good effort by our guys and we will take the win. We really want to protect our home court. We're a pretty good team on the road and it is important for us to protect our court.

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.

I've got bruises and scratches and all kinds of stuff. Sometimes they don't go away. I'm still feeling stuff from last year. That's how it is. When you play so many games, things carry over. Normally, after the season, it takes three or four weeks before you're back to feeling normal.

I don't know where it's written that he's going to get big money. Let's wait and see what happens. You're always nervous when you give any athlete big money and a lot of years. There isn't a good track record in sports for players with long-term contracts, so you're always nervous. But sometimes you're forced to do it because of market conditions.

He can still play, he can go out there and put up numbers with the best of them. The sooner he becomes active within our system, the better it's going to be for us.

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.
Eddy Curry
-
It's only been two games. We've been through ups and downs with every player over minutes. That's just a natural thing on any team. We still have good chemistry and a good group. We just need to win a couple of games.

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.
Eddy Curry

He's the leader of this team, and when he wasn't out there it was evident that we needed him.
