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.
-
It is hard to try and find a rhythm when you're only out there for short spurts, but it's fine.
-
For the most part we weren't even in some of the games we lost.
-
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.
-
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.
-
We weren't really making a lot of shots. They weren't really making a lot of shots. I can imagine how it was for the fans, but for us to be the team that was on top, it was a great night for us.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Y'all pulled out the old stuff, ... This is the vintage stuff. Throwback. This is crazy, man, crazy.
-
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'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.
-
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.
-
That's just how things happened. I think in the long run, New York is going to come out on top.
-
Those are some of the things we weren't doing when we were losing.
-
I'm more worried about breaking a finger. I'm not worried about my heart.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Nobody really knows anything. Right now, we're just all praying for him and hoping everything turns out for the best.
-
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.
-
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.
