 Jeff Green bumped up into the starting lineup tonight, one of seven nets to score in double figures in the victory. He's also someone who has played with James Harden in the past. Let's hear from Uncle Jeff. I just first off, just how big was this W for the team under the circumstances to go out there and compete the way that you guys did and get in the W. It was big. Everybody stepped up. Everybody did their part in doing what it takes to get the dove play against a good young team and we wanted to come out and fight and I think we did a good job of that. Given the trade, the guys who were absent, obviously following the news, what was the communication like in the locker room as you guys locked in for this game? Just to be there for each other, to know things happened in the NBA, but tonight, with the group of guys that we have, that we have to worry about tonight. When everything follows through and we're all joining it all together, that's when we can communicate on the basis of integrating James. But tonight, we had to focus on the task at hand and that was getting the dove tonight. Malika Andrews with ESPN. Jeff, in focusing on the task at hand, you were without several players tonight that if and when this goes through, you'll be without for the rest of time, foreseeable future, however you want to characterize that. You've been so big on defensive identity. Where do you get that from now without someone like Jared Allen? I mean, it's a group effort. We have to do it as a team. We have great bests on this team that are going to do their part and our team collectively are going to join together and make sure that we're going to do what it takes to get defensive stops. DJ, Kev, myself, Bruce, we're going to be locked in on that end because we know on the other end, we got guys that can score the ball. So if we're locked in on that end collectively, I think we'll be fine. Greg Logan with Newsday. Hi, Jeff. Without going into all the details of the trade, is it going to feel like kind of a season restart when whatever group comes together on Friday to practice? Is it going to feel like you're starting from scratch almost? I don't think so. I mean, it's just one guy that we had to integrate and get acquainted with what we're trying to accomplish and what we're doing on the floor. And I'm pretty sure he'll pick it up fast. We're going to do what we got to do to make sure he's aware of the spots and what we're looking for. And he's going to do what he does best. And I think it'd be good for us, but I don't look at it as a restart. Just another juice of energy that we're going to get from him being on the floor and being part of his team. Brian Mahoney with the Associated Press. Hey, Jeff. We all saw James Hart's interview last night. I was really upset, kind of ended a line there. You were just on that team last year in Houston. Were you hoping for his sake and for their sake they could do something quickly and get a bad situation over with? I'm going to be honest, I really wasn't too focused on what was going on down there. I was more focused on what we were trying to accomplish before everything happened today. I really wasn't too caught up in what direction or the things that was going on in the Houston locker room or organization. My focus was here being a Brooklynette. So I can't really answer that. Christian Winfield with the New York Daily News. Hey, Jeff, just giving the history to the Knicks and the Nets, did this kind of feel like a rivalry game? And what's the experience like at MSG when there's no fans? It's a little awkward. It's a little awkward with no fans. 13 years of playing with fans here. You get that or I was telling our rookie Reggie. He's not fully experiencing Madison Square without the fans. And it's weird, it's weird being here without fans. But the rivalry, you got two teams that's battling, two teams that's trying to claim New York. So it's good. You got to become a young team. You got a veteran team on the other side that's fighting for a championship. So we came out with the Devs tonight, but I'm pretty sure next game they're going to come out with more energy and focus to try to even it up. Thanks, Jeff Green.
