Every higher seed has to do it. I'd rather play the two games at home. |
I haven't thought about last year at all. We've had to play as the defending champions all year and I don't think any team is going to be looking at us thinking that. |
I just think what separates him is his ability to really get the most out of his players, out of his teams. Obviously, he's had some great teams and some great players. There's no doubt about that, but it's more than that. It's the way he brings out his best and that's really what separates him, I think, from everybody else. |
If we could have just taken care of business, we could have moved on. I'm just going to let this one bother me a little bit more. |
In general, living in a foreign country has been amazing. To experience a new culture, attempt to learn a new language, try new foods. It's something I'll always be grateful for. |
It definitely helps us to have a lot of ball-handlers out there. |
It hurts. We had an opportunity (to repeat) and we didn't do that, ... They jumped on us early. I don't know what happened. They were hitting everything and it all worked for them. |
It was important to us because you want to have a good vibe going in. We're still going to go out tonight and have a good time; I'm sure (Taurasi) won't hold it against me. I'm sure she would have tried to kick my butt if the roles were reversed, anyway. |
It's a different group, (and) something a lot of people didn't think we could do. It's pretty amazing. We're pretty proud of it, and we also know that our work is not done. At this point, everybody is 0-0. The slate has been wiped clean. Playoffs are a fresh start and you have to win two games out of three. |
It's comforting to know that they would put their injuries aside, put the pain aside and still want to go out and win it for themselves and for the team. For them to be able to play the way that they have, it kind of makes you proud. |
It's definitely a surreal feeling. There are a lot of teams in the WNBA that just said, 'Whew, Seattle lost!' – I can tell you that much. That's what makes this hurt – we had an opportunity to do some great things and defend our title but we didn't. |
It's kind of nice to control our own destiny, and then did. |
It's not a matchup between Izzy and Sheryl, |
She never seemed like she was in pain. That's what great players do. |
She won the first title. She got to 100 first. Maybe GMs in other cities will see what Anne's done and they won't be ? I don't want to say scared ? but they'll want to hire women coaches. |
