given great humbled opportunity respect
I'm humbled by this opportunity the Sonics organization has given me. I've always had great respect for the Sonics franchise.
kenny nice thomas
Kenny Thomas is a nice player, but he shouldn't have 18 rebounds. That just can't happen.
helped stuff
I think it helped us to go with some stuff that was not scripted. We wanted to go with something they wouldn't expect.
luke ray sink teeth
We just couldn't make a shot. Ray couldn't make a shot. Luke couldn't make a shot. ... We couldn't sink our teeth into the game.
absolutely clearly difference free game kept shot throws won
That was the difference in the game. We just kept fouling. They shot 39 free throws in our building. That had absolutely nothing to do with the officiating. That was us. That clearly where the game was won right there.
contracts effort game guys playing
That's the kind of game that All-Stars need to play like All-Stars and guys playing for contracts need to play like they want to get paid. That's how we played. I thought our effort was outstanding the whole time.
best
Like I told them many times and we did it (Wednesday) night, you've got to play with who's available. We'll make the best of the situation.
feels night proud
It feels really good. I'm really proud of (the team) and they responded from day one. ... It's really important that we get better every night and we did tonight.
guys handle
I think our big guys couldn't handle Kaman and Brand.
dug hole shortcuts start taking terrible
We were taking shortcuts out there, got off to a terrible start defensively and really dug a hole offensively.
kept ray scoring terrific
We kept scoring and then Ray got hot. That's a terrific win. They're awfully good.
last team wins
We just weren't there. This team has been through a lot, but we've had some pretty significant wins in the last 12 games.
ahead huge stayed step training
We just weren't there, sorry, we just weren't there. It's huge to have a training camp. But they were just better than us tonight. They were a step ahead of us, stayed a step ahead of us. We just didn't get in the game. Nothing worked. We just got our butts kicked.
seattle shame team
To me, Seattle has always been a cornerstone of the NBA. It would be shame if the team had to leave.
