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

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.

Yeah, I definitely sensed that. And that's why I was so adamant about getting back and trying to help the team as much as possible. I realize I don't have to score to help them, my presence alone, just me being so big and taking up space helps them out a lot.

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.

Sometimes it's hard to tell, but I feel like I'm definitely getting better. I'm learning more than I've ever learned. Now it's just a matter of time before I can incorporate that into what I'm doing on the court.

As long as I'm able to walk, and run up and down the court, I'm going to definitely try to give it all I got. I'll be 100 percent real soon.

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.
