Our plan was to cut the lead under 10 by 10 minutes to go and get it to four or five with five minutes left and we were there. In the second half, I was pleased with my team. |
She can come in and defend our opponent's guards, especially their point guards. |
She is the attitude. It's my defense that they play, but it's Yolanda's attitude that gives them the personality to play it. |
She might want to play, but she doesn't have any wheels. I hope she comes back and surprises me. |
She's gone from being someone we weren't looking at, because we didn't want a 5-11 post, to someone we ought to be looking at. Whether someone takes her earlier or she'll be available for us, I don't know. But we're certainly looking at her. |
She's like losing your quarterback before the Super Bowl, or the Rose Bowl, |
She's very rusty, missing easy shots and it's frustrating her because she's lost her sharpness. How quickly she gets it back, we don't know. |
That made all the difference. |
That's what happens when you throw it away. We gave them plenty of opportunities. That's what we're going to talk about before Game 2. |
That's why she's our hired gun. They had done a good job on Nicole, but I told her to keep shooting. |
The doctors OK'd her to start practice two days ago. She was limited. She's very rusty, missing easy shots and it's frustrating her because she's lost her sharpness. How quickly she gets it back, we don't know. |
The goal tonight was to keep our rhythm, keep going and keep fighting. But we definitely wanted some of our key starters to play less minutes. |
The good thing is they come back in decent shape. |
There are no sure things in the WNBA. It's been two straight years that we knocked off a higher seed in the playoffs, so we know how slippery that can be. |
There's a great team over there, ... that wants us to go back to Connecticut with them and we don't want to go back. |
