great pain players seemed
She never seemed like she was in pain. That's what great players do.
everybody fresh games people playoffs proud slate start win wiped work
It's a different group, (and) something a lot of people didn't think we could do. It's pretty amazing. We're pretty proud of it, and we also know that our work is not done. At this point, everybody is 0-0. The slate has been wiped clean. Playoffs are a fresh start and you have to win two games out of three.
caught definitely incredible looking plays
You definitely can get caught looking and being a spectator. There were just some incredible plays out there.
successful play coaching
To be successful, you have to expose yourself to different situations-different styles of play, different teammates, different coaching.
fall play knees
I'll play until my knees fall off.
games higher rather seed
Every higher seed has to do it. I'd rather play the two games at home.
definitely helps
It definitely helps us to have a lot of ball-handlers out there.
definitely focus forget game good honestly missed talk time
We talk about it and we actually did it this time. When a player's out, you have to kind of forget about her in a way, you have to focus on who can play and go into the game with those players. But now that Betty's back I can definitely say honestly that we definitely missed her, and it was good to see her play the way she did, especially on her first time out.
backs break die game gotta home hopefully huge jump locker saying successful
What you gotta think about is what they're saying in their locker room. They need to jump on us. On our home court, they know how successful we are there and they know how huge the game is. It's do or die for them. It's even more important for us to come out and hopefully break their backs in the first 10 minutes.
bit bother care moved taken
If we could have just taken care of business, we could have moved on. I'm just going to let this one bother me a little bit more.
cities hire maybe scared women won
She won the first title. She got to 100 first. Maybe GMs in other cities will see what Anne's done and they won't be ? I don't want to say scared ? but they'll want to hire women coaches.
against attacking betty good team
She's all go. Especially against a team like Sacramento, Betty is just really good at attacking the basket.
against averaged difference erupt
That's a difference maker. She averaged 24 against us this season. She only had 15, but she can erupt for 40.
control nice
It's kind of nice to control our own destiny, and then did.
