Their depth just wore us down. We were tired in the fourth quarter. I don't think we could have done much more than we did. I thought the effort was great, and guys played as hard as they could. |
There is a lot to be hopeful for and the focus is here. I wanted to keep the team focused on improvement and that was my goal when I took the job. I think it got to a point where I felt good every night about our chances to win. And that's what you want, to go into each game with a legitimate chance to win. |
There's a bunch of them out there. Getting one of them is something else. |
These getaway games are tough. I know that my guys are tired and I've killed them. Practices have been hard because it was something that we had to do. They have to understand the importance of these games. This was a winnable game. |
They are a team built to win a championship and I thought under the circumstances our guys did a good job. |
They are built to win a championship. |
They are really athletic. Every player they put out there is athletic. We just didn't move our feet. We didn't keep them in front and we reached too much. That's the bottom line. |
They did what they had to do at the end. They've got a nice team. |
They need the break. No question. |
They played an awfully good game. It thought our guys played hard, we just struggled to defend them. |
They're turning our music off! |
This team when I first got there played defense with their hands down - the worst I've ever seen. |
This year has been a ball. It has just been so fun. It's been hard, but it's been a lot of fun. |
To me, Seattle has always been a cornerstone of the NBA. It would be shame if the team had to leave. |
Today was the clearly the best game we've played, including Chicago. There were a lot of good things today. In spite of losing the game, I have to feel good about the progress that we've made in a short amount of time. |
