against ball dictate easier fun net team tempo transition
When this team executes, they are fun to watch. You have to dictate tempo against them. When they take the ball out of the net it makes it a lot easier to get back into our transition defense.

We talked today: Nobody in this league is undefeated and it's going to be a dogfight every night. So we can't squander opportunities.

We've got a lot of good people in this gym. It's been great, their energy is really high.
against couple defense figured finally five handle minutes rocket run took tried zone
We didn't handle their zone defense very well. It doesn't take a rocket scientist. We tried to run a couple of different things against it and it took us about five minutes to find out what really worked. When we finally figured it out, we just didn't keep going back to it.

That's the best Cash has played. She's probably starting to get her legs under her.

It was a tragedy. It cut deeply in my heart.

We're always physical, we'll always play like that. We're going to play a lot quicker than we have played. We're going to press a lot more. We have the personnel that can play the way we want to.

We're going to play a lot faster. You're not going to see the ball walked down the court any more.

afford crucial good job mistakes playoff
I thought we were right in the game. We did a pretty good job to get back into the game, and then we made some mistakes. We can't have it in playoff time. We made crucial mistakes at times when we couldn't afford it.
conversation key moments month private proven
We had a private conversation about a month ago. She told me that I could use her in key moments down the stretch, and she's proven that.
further gaps instead spread stepped
They had us so spread out. Instead of getting into the gaps and penetrating and doing what we need to do, we stepped further away from the basket. We never went in and out. We just went around the perimeter.
complain contract decision hear people sign wanna
You sign a contract and you make a decision to go over there and play, you know what you're getting yourself into. I don't wanna hear people complain about it.
against attacked attacking coming halftime instead regardless run zone
Coming out of halftime being down just one, instead of us attacking them, they attacked us. Regardless of if they go big, we need to execute. What we run against the zone is fine, we just need to attack it. We didn't attack today.
