Don Nelson: "The Sonics Are Not a Good Team."

Warriors coach Don Nelson is not known for his diplomacy, but this is pretty strong stuff even from him. From Percy Allen's Sonics Blog:

When asked about the Warriors 126-122 victory, he said: "Seattle is not a good team and they almost beat us tonight so I don't know where that puts us. They're kind of a fun team. They're so young, they're going to suffer early until these young guys learn how to play. ... PJ has a tough job in front of him."

Adds Allen, who's the Times' Sonics beat writer, "In all my years covering the NBA, I've never heard a coach call out another team like that."
