I'm pleased with the opportunity to help this team. This Sonics squad has the talent and coach Weiss had them setting their goals high. It's my responsibility now to help them reach those goals.
behind closed create deception hard justify lots meetings whatever work
I just know him too well. I know what he's like behind closed doors. I've been in lots and lots of meetings with him. The only way he can justify what he did was to create all this deception that I was some kind of ... monster. That I was hard to work with or whatever ... and they were all lies.
break four fun great guys help kept looked rules studying zone
I just kept studying it. And studying it. And studying it. Studying different teams. And the zone rules. I really got a lot done in four days. I looked at the All-Star break as a great opportunity, with no distractions to get in there and grow, so I can help these guys more. So if was fun for me.

I had to give him a real chance and let him define himself. I think if you are being really fair and honest, he has had four games where he played really well. The other four weren't so good.

In Earl, we get a proven point guard. He has great quickness and can control the tempo of the game.

I'm having to play him too many minutes. He doesn't want to hear this, but I think he is tired. I think he needs someone to give him a break.
bitter crunch fourth game luke playing time
I'm comfortable with Earl in the game (in the fourth quarter) because he's playing so good. If Luke was playing that good, he'd be in the game. Earl was in the game in the bitter end, but Luke was in there in crunch time also.
assuming goes hopefully maybe rehab rest schedule sunday vigorous
I'm assuming he'll be a day-to-day situation. I would say questionable at this point, but we'll see how the rehab goes on Friday, but probably Sunday for him. Our schedule is pretty vigorous the rest of the way. Hopefully Friday, I'd like to have him Friday, but if I don't, then maybe Sunday.
