start
I'm going to get No. 4 going. He's too important and I've got to get him going, so I'm going to play him. I don't think I'll start him, but he's going to play.
control great point proven quickness tempo
In Earl, we get a proven point guard. He has great quickness and can control the tempo of the game.
ability defense hopefully points score tweak
Obviously, we have to tweak our defense and hopefully score points off that. We have the ability to run.
create earlier excited harder next playing prospects trying year
Ray, I think he's playing harder now than he did earlier in the season. I think he's really excited about the prospects for next year and all the things we're trying to do to create a foundation.
fought game guys handle ourselves position spread win
Our big guys couldn't handle Kaman and Brand. I thought we fought and got ourselves back in position to win the game. But we let them back in the game when we could have put them away. Not for the game, but for the spread at halftime.
changed easier job players proud stuff
I really got after the players ... and they responded really, really well. I changed a lot of stuff right away and they made my job easier because they cooperated so much. From that standpoint, I was proud of them.
execution happy three time
I wasn't happy with the execution of our offense. It's only been three days, but we don't have time to wait.
appreciate chris defense good guys mike normally playing question
If you want to play really good defense, you have to have some defensive-minded guys. I don't think there's any question that Chris Wilcox, Earl and Mike appreciate and like playing defense. When you get guys like that, normally your defense will get better.
kenny nice thomas
Kenny Thomas is a nice player, but he shouldn't have 18 rebounds. That just can't happen.
proverbial ray
Ray was on a mission. He had that proverbial scowl on his face.
quarter took
It was great. It was like a place revisited in my life. And I think the first quarter, it took me a quarter to kind of feel as comfortable as I should. Then once I got that first quarter over with, it was great.
considered jump kid putting
He (Johan) made jump shots, and I thought that kid was ... for someone we considered putting in the D-League, he was pretty good.
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.

I'm pleased with this 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.
