That's funny, ... That's a pretty creative way of putting it into words, actually, because that's what it probably looks like when I'm running around out there with the ball. |
That's what you want is a competitive camp. You want to have people fighting for positions. Except for Brooke, we have our core back. |
There is a huge sense of urgency. We see that. Personally, I'm feeling okay. I just have to be more aggressive and pick and choose my spots a little better. |
There's no timetable. I'm just going to try to rehab as best I can and come back in good shape. The one thing I have going for me is I've played two years with the players on this team. We have a real good rapport, so it's not like I'm getting to know eight new players. |
They came out and played great defense, ... But the thing I liked was, for a while there, they weren't scoring either. I was happy with the way we played defense while we were struggling. |
They're playing that role of the spoiler. They want to get in there and knock people off. From the start tonight we knew it was going to be a tough game. In the first half, they made it really tough. |
We are definitely confident in every one on the team, and are excited about the chance to win the finals. |
We did everything we could. At the end of the day, you couldn't say anything more about our staff, ... Everyone did what they could to get the swelling to go down and get it back. ... Basically, it's just all about my ability and making sure I can't hurt it any worse. |
We knew Detroit was in our path and we didn't care how we did it. We just wanted to go out, play hard and get the job done. |
We knew they were going to make a run at us. We just had to settle down. We weren't panicking. We just became more ticked off at that point. |
We know [Detroit] will come back and play even harder next game. |
We were 13-1 against the West, ... so I'm pretty confident that we can win on the road. |
We're disappointed right now. We'll go back, re-evaluate and be ready to come and play. |
You earn victories like this just by sticking with it and digging down, |
You just run up and down the court, play really hard and be unselfish. Those are the three things that our team takes a lot of pride in. They've gotten us to the finals. |
