For us to add him (Francis) to our team is only going to be a plus. Then it's just about us getting that continuity and then going out and playing and getting some wins.
Fortunately the good Lord was looking down on me because I had missed my X number of previous shots. It was a total team win.
I feel like the team needs me to produce. I just felt like if I had been on the floor, I hopefully would have made a play, at least grabbed a rebound, an assist, something. I guess you can't do nothing with all zeros.
We've got to learn to communicate better on offense and play better on defense. That's what winning teams do.
I wasn't surprised about being traded. I would have been surprised if it was a team that wasn't speculated in the rumors.
You just have to give Dallas the credit. They have a good team. They have been playing well this season. They ran into a team that has not been playing well, and trying to learn things that they are doing. At this point, it didn't show.
I would have been totally surprised had it not been a team that had been speculated practically since the Vince Carter trade. Everybody understands Toronto's actively in a rebuilding mode.
Obviously you want to come back and play well. Guys that say they don't like playing against their former teams are definitely lying. So many guys on that bench did so much for my career.
Even bad teams have optimism. You don't want to take away the optimism so early in the season. The Bad News Bears coach wouldn't even tell (his team) that.
Whatever Coach Brown needs me to do to help the team is my focus. I am thrilled to be a Knick.
When you have a young team like we do, the No. 1 thing they have to learn is how to compete.
Everybody wants to contribute and help the team get a win, and obviously I'm no different,
You've got to dig down on the post when someone has three or four dribbles and just collapse against the ball. When you don't do that, you allow teams to get into a rhythm even if they're not making shots.
