    Famous quotes by Russ Farwell:

    "We've only been (privy) to what you (newspaper) people have reported."
    "When we're healthy, we don't feel like we're 10 points behind anybody. We really feel like we can win our division. We only had a short stretch when everybody was healthy and we really liked the look of our team."
    "We don't have a lot of leverage -- we understand that. It's going to be decided strictly on the Sonics' issues."

    6 Years Earlier

    by: If Man Is Five

    And all that’s left is regret and you deserve just what you get
    what’s left
    6 years later
    i look into your eyes
    with total disgust
    who have you become
    someone i can’t trust seasons they change
    people they change
    walk all over me
    confirming my fears
    you’ve taken all that’s mine
    i’ve wasted years
