<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great holiday and that the new year is off to a great start. It's been awhile since I've written an entry and a lot of things have been happening... We are playing much better right now. We are currently neck-in-neck with Minnesota and Denver for the lead in the Northwest Division of the Western Conference. Andrei Kirilenko is healthy again and putting up all-star numbers. Mehmet Okur is leading us in scoring and playing the best ball of his career. We still don't have Carlos Boozer back. But, we are starting to look more and more like a team that can be successful in the playoffs. I understand why everyone says that one of the toughest adjustments a rookie makes is to the length of the season. We've played 39 games already and we're not halfway through the season. In order to help my consistency and to stay prepared, I have settled into a daily routine. Some of it I've borrowed from advice I have been given by people who played in the league a long time. One piece of advice I got was from John Salley. He told me how he made sure he took a nap everyday. I haven't had a problem following that suggestion. </div> <div align="center">Source</div>
