NBA fans discuss Grant Hill's future, the playoffs, Doc Rivers' accomplishments and more. Gary Payton insisted all week the Seattle SuperSonics weren't dead. He and his teammates went out and proved it Saturday. Seattle, embarrassed by its performances in Utah, outrebounded the Jazz 46-38 as rookie Rashard Lewis had 14 points and 10 rebounds. When they was hitting us, we were hitting back and it worked.
Nobody wants to get swept, especially against a bunch of old guys.
There was a big sense of urgency today. They were aggressive and kept us uncomfortable. We missed some shots early and that fueled their fire. This week was no fun. He then made a free throw after being fouled by Greg Ostertag that gave Seattle a 54-46 lead.
