November 2:We get our first win of the season,94-92 at New Jersey.

It was a great homecoming as we defeated the Nets in East Rutherford,94-92,as I scored 14 points,grabbed 7 rebounds and dished out 6 assists to help my team win. I was excited to play in front of my family and my friends,because New Rochelle is close to New Jersey. We did not have a single 20-point scorer (Michael Redd and Bobby Simmons had 19) and we almost lost the game late,but we had help from Jamaal Magloire's 10 points and 13 rebounds,and Toni Kukoc's 13 points off the bench,and Mo Williams chipped in with 8,and that helped. We really discovered that Jason Kidd is one of the best playmakers in the league by nearly getting a triple-double (10 points,12 assists,9 rebounds) and Vince Carter is outstanding with his 25 point performance,but we came out with a win. After the game,we Fitzpatricks went out to dinner and talked about things at home and having the opportunity of seeing me soon in Milwaukee,and I hope they come out and see me when they get a chance. Next up,is our home opener against a great Miami Heat team,Saturday night at the Bradley Center. I haven't been to Milwaukee before I got drafted,but I heard there's lots to do there. Let's hope we can kick arse Saturday!
