feet hurt miss plant second
We could never plant our feet defensively and get a stop. Most of the time, when it really hurt us, it was the second shots. We'd get them to miss and then we just couldn't get the rebound.
afford best camp forward move rest training
We can't afford to have another training camp now. We've just got to move forward and try to do the best we can the rest of the year.
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.
breakfast good happen impression length talked
I think there is a sense of relief. We talked at length at breakfast and I got the impression that it was going to happen and it was a good feeling. I have been working as if this thing was going to happen, but it's good to know it is done.
good
Just an all-around good win. One of our best.
credit deserves effort guy lots position ready supposed surprised
I think Damien Wilkins deserves lots and lots of credit for this one. I was a little surprised that he scored so many points, but I wasn't surprised in his effort or his defense. That's what a guy in his position is supposed to be ready to do.
behind drafted good opportunity players trapped
When he was drafted by Chicago, he was trapped behind some awfully good players and just never really got a chance. I think he appreciates the opportunity to get another chance.
court finally five floor games last played runs time
When he runs the court he can just floor you. He's finally getting it. In the last five games he's played as well as at any time in his career.
process
We've got to get Vitaly in shape. And there's a process in that.
angles atlanta guys healthy tony took
We've got to get to Atlanta and get healthy before (tonight) because we've got a lot of guys banged up. We couldn't do much with Tony Parker. We took away his angles to run, but he still managed to get to the basket.
exactly jump middle morning points robert shoot swift tonight
We told (center) Robert Swift at the walkthrough this morning and tonight that Ely is going to take two dribbles to the middle and shoot a jump hook. And that's exactly what he did and he scored 21 points in the first half.
neat remember thanksgiving
Here's what I really remember about Mike. On Thanksgiving he had us all over in Milan. We all had Thanksgiving at his apartment. It was just a neat day.
again chance game great late miss playing shows
We got back in it again late and actually had a chance to get it. I think, if anything, the game shows how much we miss Luke, especially the way we're playing now. He's just playing great and we really miss him.
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.
