good hired job
That's why she's our hired gun. They had done a good job on Nicole, but I told her to keep shooting.
balls cares coach compete gets good hard head knows liked loose outside pass plays question shoot shown size
I've always liked her. She's got her head in the game, plays hard and plays for a good coach. She knows how to compete at the championship level. My only question is why she didn't play outside at that size. But the way she rebounds, who cares what size she is. She gets rebounds, loose balls and she's shown that she can pass and shoot from out there, better than some of us thought.
chosen good honored
No. 1, I'm honored to be chosen in such a good league,
good held obviously points
Obviously this was a good win. We held them to 34% shooting, 59 points and outrebounded them by 14 (36-22).
against boards close good key kicked shots stops
We kicked them good on the boards and that made up for some of it. We had some key stops when they got close and we got good shots against them. Now we go home, and we have to play better.
becomes facing good known plays shoot team
When you shoot the ball, everything becomes easier. We're facing a team known for its offense, but Connecticut plays pretty good defense, too.
changes good knew needed replace trade
Yolanda's only thing when I started making all the changes was she requested that I trade her because she thought that I was rebuilding, ... We had an old team; she knew we needed to rebuild, get younger. I told her, 'I'm not going to trade you. You're too good and I can't replace you, and I'm not rebuilding, we're just reloading.'
decent good
The good thing is they come back in decent shape.
glad listen somewhere sure trade
I'm sure glad that when she thought we were going to rebuild, she didn't go somewhere else. She thought she was too old to (stay while the Monarchs) rebuild, but I didn't listen to her and trade her.
achieve beat chance death fact franchise tickled win
I'm tickled to death to win and beat a first-class team, that makes the fact that we were able to beat them even sweeter. Now we have a chance to achieve something that's never been done in franchise history.
few houston national stage teams veterans whether
I know the Houston veterans are not going to panic. Whether they're up 10 or down 10, they've been there, done that. They're one of the few teams where the national stage makes them better.
best causing expect fewest games improve league led row win
They led the league with the fewest turnovers. We can't expect to win two games in a row in causing the league's best in non-turnovers to make more turnovers. That's why we have to improve on some things.
played
They've played the right way as a team.
afraid glad plays
I'm glad that she's on my team. She's not afraid of anything and she plays right through to the end.
