Bostjan Nachbar is in a contract year this year, which makes performance all that more important.  However, Nachbar says last season had more pressure as he came to a new team looking for playing time and respect.

"I think I'm under much less pressure than last year," Nachbar said, insisting the contract that follows the $2.5 million he earns this season will not weigh on his mind.

"I'll try to push it aside. I'm not going to let it bother me," the versatile 27-year-old said. "The most important thing is that I proved myself last year. Other teams and coaches, especially and most importantly this team, has seen that I can do some stuff. I can just build off of that."
