attitude care great met wants
As I told him when I met him, I thought he should have started in Memphis. The great thing about him is he really doesn't care if he starts, he just wants minutes. He's got a great attitude for this team.
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.
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.
court defensive finished front good great kept needed team win
We sorely needed to win a game. That was a team win. I thought we really got a lot of good performances from a lot of people. We got stops, we're not a great defensive team but the team we had on the court at the end did what they needed to get the stops. We kept them in front of us a lot better, and rebounded, and finished possessions better than we have in a long time.
death easy great scared score start
We got off to such a great start and I was scared to death of that. Because when you score that easy, you're not going to score that easy the whole game.
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.
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.
beat built deep diminish great guys together tonight top win
Not to diminish their win, but we had some guys go down tonight on top of the other guys that we have that are beat up right now. The Spurs are a great team. They are long, they play together and they are a deep team. They are built to win a championship.
anybody ball good great night seen shoot
I don't know if I've ever seen anybody shoot the ball like that. It was a great night for him and good way for us to end the season.
shots
We got shots contested, but we just got manhandled, I think, for the first time.
bit came changed effect halftime
We changed a little bit at halftime and came from the perimeter and that probably had as big an effect as anything we did in the game.
easy point
We scored too easy and at some point that was going to subside.
bringing energy limit lots sky
The sky is the limit with him. He's bringing lots of energy all over the floor.

I sensed he knew we needed him tonight ... Ray really stepped up for us.
