Preparing yourself for possibility that he's out for the year?
I know it's going to be awhile. We do know it's going to be awhile. Joel
stepped in last year and he's the guy who is next in line for us. Howard,
again, will have to step up and play and that's where we go from here.
Will you go small more? Back to the 3 guard lineup?
We'll have to see. With Rudy. I'm waiting to see where Rudy is at. Then Dante
and Pendergraph will maybe be back here in a few weeks but again opportunity
for some other guys.
Did the team relax after Oden went down?
I thought they rallied. Whether they relaxed? I thought they came together.
They huddled and they talked and they said some things to each other. That
was what we've been looking for. Sometimes it takes adversity, like what has
happened in the last few weeks, and the last couple of days, and tonight.
But they came together, that's what they are going to need to do to give
themselves a chance to win.

How does this affect the future of this franchise?
Any time you lose a player of Greg's stature, we're not going to be as good.
We built this team to withstand some injuries. The challenging part for me is
sometimes life's not fair. You know. I've seen this kid work his tail off
here. He has put in the work. He has done absolutely everything we've asked
him to do. And more. And he's going to go through that again. And I know
that's going to be challenging for him. Look, we're here, we're going to help
him any way we can. He's going to fight back. I guarantee it. What comes
back? I'm not sure. But He's going to fight it and he's going to come back as
best he can.
Time to make a move?
I'd like to get past tonight but maybe it's time to look at that.
What might that be?
I don't know. Right now I'm just trying to support all of our injured
players. That's the big thing.
Ever been a part of so many guys going down?
Never. Never. This is the most injuries. Nate. To some of our assistant
coaches. To Mr. Allen. I've never been a part of something like this. But
we're going to stay strong. We're going to fight through this. You're
defined, your character is defined, through the tough times not the easy
times. You're going to see that. We're going to pull through this.
A sense of shock?
I told everybody when I was back in the locker room, I felt like it was a
punch to the gut. Yeah. I felt it when I came back out. The energy of the
building was down. Everybody was not really thinking about the game. The
whole crowd. And then we started to make a little run and they got back into
it. It shows how great our fans are. They care for Greg, they care for Rudy,
Travis, Batum, Jeff, Patty. They care about that stuff.
Make a move?
That's purely speculation. Right now I'm trying to focus in on helping Greg
and Rudy in the short term and the other guys long term.
Why likely out for the season rather than definitely out for the season?
You always want to keep it open and give the kid some hope. Which he has
always done. This kid has always done everything he was supposed to. He's
going to get criticized for missing some games but he's a great kid. I can't
tell you how much he's a great kid. He will pull through this. I know him.
He's a tough kid. He cares. I'm telling you that he was more interested in
the score of the game than how he was. I've never seen anything like that.
Further bad luck that he's with a franchise that had BIll Walton and Sam
Bowie?
I think it's coincidence. There's no bad luck. It's just coincidence.
