lay medication move slept took trying
I couldn't move (Wednesday). I just lay there trying to get hydrated and stuff. I was kind of worried. I took a lot of medication and slept all day.
game losing next
Losing is painful. But when we lose, the next game we come out tougher.
plays quickly respect
She quickly got over that. I respect her game, too. She plays really hard.
balance game searching shot
I feel like I can't be a one-trick pony. If my shot is not falling, I'm going to try to get to the rim, or get to the line, or do something to make a play on defense. That balance is what I'm always searching for. I don't see my game as perfect.
advantage climbs confidence gives opportunity plays runs team tight
There are always runs and spurts, and once we got it going we got a lot of confidence. I like it when a team plays tight because it gives me an opportunity to get by quicker. You have to take advantage of a team that climbs all over you.
knew stops
We knew that we could score. It was really about getting the stops that we needed.
focused individual seven shows
It's all about spacing and patience. Yesterday, we never really got into the flow. We had only seven assists and that just shows that we were focused on individual play.
boston forget good
It was a good reminder. I never want to feel like we did at Boston and Washington. We won't forget it.
definitely half huge
It's a huge weekend. It's important to make a statement. We have a whole half to go, but we definitely want to make an impression.
wanting
It's all about going out and being as competitive as you can and wanting to win.
confidence felt flow funny great last option patient shooting starting susan whenever within
It's all about confidence. Shooting is a funny thing. It's all mental. Once I was patient and starting to play within the flow of the game, my shooting improved. Last year, with Kelley and Susan being such great shooters, whenever I shot, I felt rushed. I didn't think of myself as an option to shoot.
easy hard heart
We're doing all the hard things but we're not doing all the easy things. We need to rebound, play with heart and intensity. We can't just be a 20-minute team.
country great nation player post practice
There is no other post player in the country I would want on my team. Now the whole nation will get to see what we see in practice and that's how great she is.
country nation player post practice rather team
There is no other post player in the country I'd rather have on my team than Brooke. Now the whole nation can see what we see in practice every day.
