We have to get to the offensive glass. We didn't crash the boards when we should have. We settled for jumpers instead of getting to the line.

We're starting to come together a little more. We're starting to put it together.
Our Achilles' heel all season has been allowing offensive rebounds, and that came back to bite us tonight,
My mind is still reeling from this game. Our biggest problem all season was allowing offensive rebounds and that came back to bite us tonight in a big way.
Spoon hitting that shot in 1999 was a great memory that we all share. We were all there. We've won a lot of Eastern Conference Championships together. The trip to the Finals used to run through New York, and we want to get that back. Last year, we beat in the first round and Bethany Donaphin's shot was a great moment. There have been a lot of great memories. But none of that really matters. What matters is the playoffs this year and going far, so we've been there.
I thought the game got turned around on the defensive end more than anything.
We executed well, and shared the ball really well. They came out and tried to trap, and we did a good job of making the extra pass.
We were just trading off baskets. We needed to get some stops.
It's going to be fun, challenging. I think we're going to be competitive. We got a lot of good things to look forward to. I'm excited to see what it looks like, what the final product is going to be at the end of the season.
It's not college basketball. There's a lot of other elements that go into it. NBA guys have been there; they know it.
Eight years ago, I was over there, at the table where no reporters or press was, nobody wanted to talk to me. And now, I am the veteran.
The intensity level needs to be jacked up.
They were very committed to shutting down the guard play in the first half. It exerts a lot of energy trying to chase those guards around the perimeter. We just had to stick in there and get our posts some looks and get them involved.
