I am so thrilled about the opportunity to coach the Storm for years to come, ... Winning a WNBA Championship last season was an incredible experience not only for me, but for the city of Seattle. I look forward to many more successful seasons with the Storm.
experience filling gone season terms valuable
She is so confident, so cool. She's so much a starter. You don't look at her and think she's just a replacement, filling in for Betty. The season has gone really well in terms of getting her valuable experience this year.
everybody people playing season surprised
I think everybody is disappointed how the season finished. I think many people are surprised we're not playing right now.

To finish the season on this note is not how any of us envisioned this.
against balance confidence game sacramento season series sheet successful wonders
Having a successful game against Sacramento and having the season series go our way against them, I think does wonders for our confidence going into the playoffs. When you see that kind of balance on the stat sheet ... that's what you have to do against Sacramento.
carried percent
It was gutsy, very gutsy. You could see she was not 100 percent out there. She carried us in the first half. I didn't think she'd be able to rebound.
aware few focused rest
This is a very focused group. They're very aware of what a few days' rest will do for Lauren.
depend great looked
She looked great while she was out there. It's not really going to depend on how she looks.
five starting team title
Their starting five are title contenders. On paper, they are the team to beat.
came focused game half hurt lauren rely
We just had to rely so much on Lauren in the first half and she really came up big for us. You know she wasn't 100 percent, but sometimes when you're hurt you are focused only on the game itself.
floor happen home surprised
We just got steamrolled on our home floor and that doesn't happen very often. It surprised me that we could never get a grip.
changes defender flow lose offense takes
We lose Betty's points, her energy. She takes a defender away from Lauren. So it changes the flow of our offense for sure.
defense half happy holding points second shooting
Very happy about the defense tonight. Holding them to 19 points and 20-percent shooting in the first half was solid, and I was happy to see that we didn't let up in the second half.
offensive rebound talk three
Betty's three is what everyone will talk about, but (Burse's) offensive rebound was huge.
