Bob Hill Great Quotations

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In Earl, we get a proven point guard. He has great quickness and can control the tempo of the game.

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.

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.
