I think the biggest reason we miss him is the way we're playing now. We're playing a quicker pace and it fits him so well.

I thought we got off to a really good start. We had a presence defensively. We ran the ball. The spacing was good.

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.

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.
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.

That's the Russian roulette in the NBA today because of the escalation of salaries. You have to be careful that you give that kind of contract to the right guy. And you never know how money is going to affect a guy's attitude until he has it.

I wasn't happy with the execution of our offense. It's only been three days, but we don't have time to wait.

Kenny Thomas is a nice player, but he shouldn't have 18 rebounds. That just can't happen.

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 humbled by this opportunity the Sonics organization has given me. I've always had great respect for the Sonics franchise.

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.

His wife was awesome, cooked us this huge meal. It was such a neat day.
